- Comment on 'Maybe' financial tracker shuts down, releasing a final v0.6.0 5 days ago:
Maybe Funke?
- Comment on Why is Fediverse moderation, even more Draconian than Reddit? 1 week ago:
I have never been banned on the fediverse. Maybe I just share my views in a way that doesn’t offend others or break the community rules?
- Comment on Is it possible to sell semi-old computers/parts? 1 week ago:
Ahahah looks great man…
I whish I had an old 8088/8086 with 1mb RAM a 20mb HDD (not yet IDE) and both 3.5 and 5.25 floppy drives. I still have somewhere Ultima 7 original with a full set of 5.25 big floppies… And Ultima Underworld 2, both original monkey islands with 3.5 floppies… And many more.
- Comment on Is it possible to sell semi-old computers/parts? 1 week ago:
I feel encient. Tht setup isn’t old at all, it is still relevant. Now, if you said an AMD Athlon or a K6-III…
I still have my old i386 somewhere.
- Comment on Just a little server 2 weeks ago:
My jellyfin works just fine with CPU. It’s an Intel core 7, not a cheap one, but the GPU is not mandatory
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 4 weeks ago:
O don’t give a shit and 100% skip useless posts clearly created using AI.
But interesting posts, I do read them even if made with AI.
- Comment on What is happening on Programming. Dev instance? 4 weeks ago:
I had the same issue on my single user instance after a Lemmy update last week. It fixed by itself, but it took a few hours, like the entire night.
Computational power or network bandwith was not an issue.
- Comment on Has anyone migrated from a Markdown notes app to another? 1 month ago:
Have you tried to open a joplin .MD file in a plain text editor? That is not markdown. Its markdown wrapped into some Joplin format.
Can it really be migrated 1:1 to another app?
- Comment on A simple experiment to demonstrate that Astrology does not work is to keep a detailed journal of events, and periodically check past horoscopes for accuracy.* 1 month ago:
What a waste of time.
Why should you try to dispute astrology? People who believe in it doesn’t listen to reasons anyway. And for the others, well, they don’t need a demonstration of what they already know.
Also, asastrology really works*
- in fulfilling people beliefs, wasting their time and sometimes money.
- Comment on is there is any Lemmy server that care about privacy(does not require email), Does not impose limits on community posts like my current instance and does not have high amount of restrictions? 1 month ago:
Set up your own server and apply your own rules.
- Comment on Advice on moving my Spotify library to Navidrome 1 month ago:
Spotizerr + navidrome + tempo
Spotizerr (fast development, sometimes breaks) will let you download you spotofy playlist. 320kbps too if you have premium. Also, deezer premium accounts are free for 1 month and let you download flac.
Navidrome replace Spotify as streaming server.
Tempo is a good android client. O also love symfonium but its not free (very worth paying for, though).
- Comment on "Can i ask you for a favor?" Is it rude to say no? 1 month ago:
Well, yes, I would say it’s rude if you have no reason to say no. At least hear them out is usually considered nice.
But…
If the person is clearly wanting to sell something to me, or trick me into something, or take advantage of me (typical in touristic places) I would just say “no thanks” and move on.
- Comment on Just started a community for those who wish to move away from Lemmy 1 month ago:
So I will stick on Lemmy for the time being. After all I don’t care for down votes, I think votes in general should not be private, because this is like a public plaza what you say is public, and attaching a reputation because of down votes is dangerously bullying and a slippery slope, so piefed doesn’t actually feel like my pie at the moment.
Still maybe I will try a fresh installation just to check it out.
- Comment on Just started a community for those who wish to move away from Lemmy 1 month ago:
Interested, how do I move an instance from Lemmy to piefed?
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 1 month ago:
Not really reliable, much less than wire guard. If your connection is unstable ssh not the best option. Autossh make it better, but still after a forced disconnection ssh will take a while to drop and reconnect. Wire guard is much better. I moved from ssh+autossh to wireguard and wished I did that sooner.
- Comment on Once you are over 30 we no longer want to go out - we want to be left alone, with a beer/wine, a blanket, tv, and tacos… 1 month ago:
Beg your pardon… After my 40 all I want is good weather and time to go running or cycling or maybe swimming in a lake.
No way would like to spend time drinking alcohol or watching shitty TV.
YMMV.
Fully agree on the I don’t want to go out, meaning social life, too much. Except going out cycling with my sport buddies, ofc
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 1 month ago:
Wire guard to the vps with nftables port forwarding.
Check my wiki here wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=networking%3Awiregua…
Or setup ssh with port forwarding as well. Less reliable but nothing to install on a basic Linux.
- Comment on Backup for important files/pictures? 1 month ago:
Rest+backrest and the 3.2.1 rule.
One backup local on an external drive on my server Second backup on another disk connected to a WiFi ap in the house.
Third off site backup copy on my VPS.
All done by rest.
- Comment on Safest CalDAV/CardDAV server 1 month ago:
I use radicale. Safe and solid. Zero php.
You need to install a separate app if you want a web based calendar ui, or you can just use dav5x on android or any other caldav client.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Respect her and her needs. If she doesn’t want, there are good reasons for that.
She is underage, so that also counts maybe?
Maybe she is protecting you, or herself… Can you tell?
- Comment on Am I weird for avoiding flying on prop planes, and only fly on jets? 2 months ago:
Yes, because there is really no reason to avoid either I can understand having a preference or a dislike for props, but not really to avoid them.
Unless, of course, you clarify why.
- Comment on ISPs seem designed to funnel people to capitalist cloud services 2 months ago:
Really appreciated the reference!
Good to know my wiki is of any use to somebody.
:)
- Comment on Connect Mini Split to Air Circulator system? 2 months ago:
Bet it will cool the ducts down and warm air goes into the rooms…
One split is probably undersized for all those rooms
- Comment on Introducing Calendars, Contacts and Files in Stalwart | Stalwart Labs 2 months ago:
I did, we discussed this on an issue and a github discussion. It was still too slow and saturating my low spec machine, no matter which backends I tried to use.
Probably my hardware is just too underpowered.
- Comment on Introducing Calendars, Contacts and Files in Stalwart | Stalwart Labs 2 months ago:
Stalwart probably aims a bigger infra than mine, i think that is the point.
- Comment on Introducing Calendars, Contacts and Files in Stalwart | Stalwart Labs 2 months ago:
I had to give up on stalwart because on 4gb ram dual core with mechanical HDD the performance for a single account domain was abysmal and after some support back and forth there was no solution.
On the same hardware the good old postfix+dovecot just handles perfectly with 90% spare capacity
Sorry guys, maybe it was time to optimize it a bit before adding more features?
- Comment on Is there a server that doesn't require allowing javascript of a million other servers? 2 months ago:
Yes, I did
- Comment on Is there a server that doesn't require allowing javascript of a million other servers? 2 months ago:
Good to know… Is it a pleasant experience?
- Comment on Is there a server that doesn't require allowing javascript of a million other servers? 2 months ago:
I respect your choices, but I am afraid modern web is mostly JavaScript. Can you actually browse anything with noscript today?
- Comment on My two cent about emails servers field. Over a two decades... 2 months ago:
Don’t agree. Being hosting my email server for 20+ years without issues.
Yes you need to study, no its not difficult at all.
Check wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=email%3Astart it’s really that, and guess what? It works!
So, yes its getting more complicated but its still well at the grasp of a home hoster.
Do you want it as simple as docker compose up? Grab mailcow.
