Does anyone know if it’s possible to run VR games on Linux? I’d love t ditch Windows for the gaming pc…
- Comment on Best "bang for your buck" NUC/Pi setup for Jellyfin/HomeAssistant/PiHole? 5 weeks ago:
My non-profit the Rebel Tech Alliance is working on a series of blog posts that will look at self hosting for begginners. If you sign up for the blog you’ll get them when they’re published:
Or our main website is at www.rebeltechalliance.org
But really what I’ve got going (if you exclude Transmission) is the simplest stuff. Jellyfin, Calibre and Syncthing are just ‘click and install’ - they are all self contained so they don’t need all that Docker stuff. I suggest just tinkering with them.
- Comment on Best "bang for your buck" NUC/Pi setup for Jellyfin/HomeAssistant/PiHole? 5 weeks ago:
Also running Calibre, Syncthing, Transmission and Filen. all on Linux Mint.
I can’t cope with TUI-only OS’s - the command stuff makes no sense to me at all. I’ve learned some of it, and am trying to get Nextcloud running in Docker behind Nginx Proxy Manager, but I can’t work out DDNS yet so… 😂
I was keen on Proxmox or Yunohost, but put off by the fact that they totally replace the OS. I’d be more comfortable with something that runs on the OS, like Docker does.

This is going well for me - Jellyfin etc
- Comment on email set up for Ghost blog hosted on Pikapods 1 month ago:
Thank you for your help!
We have fixed it - the problem was that I had already set up DNS records so that Tuta could send emails using our website domain. This was blocking the proper set up of mailgun/transactional emails.
So we worked out how to set up emails for the business separately using the SMPT email server of our web hosting provider - et voila! Email set up works!

If only. Most people I know have never heard of F-Droid… Only privacy-savvy people have.
- Comment on Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid 2 months ago:
I’d be more worried about having to send gov ID docs - more creepy control by Google.

Contact your representative. And here’s F-droid’s article about it (including how to find your representative at the end of the article): f-droid.org/…/google-developer-registration-decre…

I bought one for self hosting and flashed it with Linux.
- Comment on Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address? 3 months ago:
If I install ddclient on my mini-pc is that what you mean by having a server with ddclient?
My Asus router is not shown in their docs as supported - does that matter?
Also - can I just keep using my current domain name registrar, and not use Cloudflare?
- Comment on Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address? 3 months ago:
That doesn’t seem to be appropriate for a specific domain. Unless I’m reading it wrong.
We need to expose the Ghost blog on a specific subdomain of the domain we own ( blog.ourdomain.org )
doesn’t Tailscale Funnel assign a funky domain name rather than let you use your own?
- Comment on Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address? 3 months ago:
Hi, I’m using Docker - one container for Ghost and one for Nginx Proxy Manager.
I’ve decided to go with DDNS but am having trouble choosing a reliable free provider. I’ve seen Dynu.com recommended but that is not available in the dropdown list of servers in my router’s section on DDNS. Is that relevant?
Or would I just ignore the router settings and set it up some other way?
- Comment on Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address? 3 months ago:
Wouldn’t that be just for me - in my Tailnet - rather than to the general public?
- Comment on Starting out with Selfhosting 3 months ago:
You can use Tailscale to access your stuff from outside the house.
There’s also a self hosted open source alternative but I’ve forgotten what it’s called.
- Comment on Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address? 3 months ago:
I was going to use Cloudflare to sort this, but I’m uncomfortable how big they are getting / lack of competition in that part of the market. So we looked at Pangolin as an alternative, but it’s a faff to self host.
Hence why we’re back at exposing it straight out the back of Nginx Proxy Manager.
- Comment on Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address? 3 months ago:
My router says it has NAT enabled (in the WAN settings section - for the internet connection)
- Comment on Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address? 3 months ago:
Thank you for your replies everyone!
I’m looking into DDNS. Before I go with a provider, I notice that my router has this functionality built in. Should I use that?
(It’s an Asus RT-AX86U Pro - so fairly chunky in terms of spec)

- Comment on As governments around the world are set to make the Internet more restrictive and privacy-invading, we need a solution 4 months ago:
The UK moves are very worrying. We’re trying to help people to move away from big tech at our site www.rebeltechalliance.org
We recommend fediverse protocols wherever possible - so I’m interested in the comments here about how that is affected
- Comment on Is the Fediverse stalling? 4 months ago:
It could be a reducing interest in posting totally public stuff. Perhaps people want to just use group chats in Signal instead?
- Comment on The strenghts and weaknesses of atproto and activitypub. 5 months ago:
Would SSO every be possible with ActivityPub?
Like if you built a new app (network) on AP and allow people to sign in with their Mastodon handle?
- Comment on PeerTube crowdfunding to develop mobile app 5 months ago:
They don’t have to be, as far as I understand it. I’ve installed a few websites as apps on my phone (because their app had trackers in it) and they can work really well. Examples are Bluesky and Flipboard.
An example where I agree with you is LinkedIn - installed as a web app due to trackers - but they know this, and the whole point of their app is to get you with Facebook and Microsoft trackers, so they make the web app experience miserable on purpose.
But (and correct me if I’m wrong) a PWA made by a non-surveillance capitalist could be just as good as a native app.
- Comment on PeerTube crowdfunding to develop mobile app 5 months ago:
Valid. Except on some browsers e.g. Vivaldi you can put sites on a list that retain their cookies even when you clear the rest.
- Comment on PeerTube crowdfunding to develop mobile app 5 months ago:
Why not a PWA?
- Comment on Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse? 6 months ago:
Oh wow, you’re right!
I wonder how they set that up? DDG has thousands of bangs but not one for Lemmy - probably because it is not at one single URL?
- Comment on Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse? 6 months ago:
It would be cool if there was an operator that would force the search into Lemmy content. Are they called bangs? Like starting with !r
- Comment on InlineStyle, open fediverse based cloud 6 months ago:
Great idea! Two things
- E2EE is a default in privacy by design so consider CryptPad for docs instead
- change the name. Inline Style is terrible (sorry but to a native English speaker it sounds lame). How about just Inline?
- Comment on Has anyone tested yunohost? 6 months ago:
I thought that I would need Yunohost to take care of all the web hosting stuff in the back ground…? Are you saying to just push files into the VPS barebones, or into Yunohosts website app shell? (Sorry I’m new to VPS stuff).
And how would you push the files from Codeberg? what is the method?
