Ooo I just found out element added support for drop-in/drop-out voice and video rooms. That’s the real killer feature they’ve been lacking I think. Will have to try it out.
- Comment on SpacebarChat - a selfhosted, Discord-compatible communication platform 1 month ago:
Yeah, I saw that element is using jitsi under the hood for its screensharing. If that makes for a seamless user experience, that’s great. It’s been like 10 years since I last tried Jitsi, but it was not smooth.
- Comment on SpacebarChat - a selfhosted, Discord-compatible communication platform 1 month ago:
TBH both disc and slack have their downsides, disc more so, so I’m fine if they just take the best of all worlds.
But yeah, screensharing is the deciding factor for me. As much as all my friends hate discord, we use screensharing all the time (it’s just a bit jankier getting it working on Linux).
- Comment on SpacebarChat - a selfhosted, Discord-compatible communication platform 1 month ago:
This one is clearly made to look like slack, which is great I need to try this out. Just wish someone would make one that looks like disc. And then matrix needs screensharing support.
- Comment on SpacebarChat - a selfhosted, Discord-compatible communication platform 1 month ago:
Discord compatible bots run on whatever server you run them on, they’re not owned or run by Discord.
It says the client is compatible with both space-bar and discord.com, so yeah, if you use it with discord, expect all the downsides of discord.
- Comment on How can I keep my forwarded port secure? 2 months ago:
Normal for who? I wouldn’t expose SSH on 22 to the internet unless you have someone whose full time job is monitoring it for security and keeping it up to date. There are a whole lotta downsides and virtually no upsides given that more secure alternatives have almost zero overhead.
- Comment on Full open source and private camera monitoring system 2 months ago:
I see several Amcrest options that look like they have integrated AI object detection. Frigate on the other hand says you should get a “Google Coral Accelerator”. Do you know if Frigate (or RTSP, I guess) has a way to leverage the built in detection capabilities of a camera (assuming they are built in, and not being offloaded to the cloud)? Or am I better of looking at the “dumb” Amcrest cameras, and just assuming all processing for all cameras will happen on my Frigate hardware?
- Comment on TriliumNext's first stable release is now available! 🚀 2 months ago:
Hah I had the same thought. Trillian, though. Named after the character from HHGttG.
- Comment on AMD won't patch all chips affected by severe data theft vulnerability — Ryzen 3000, 2000, and 1000 will not get patched for 'Sinkclose' 3 months ago:
I feel like this is the perfect place for Right to Repair legislation: the product is broken? And it’s outside your support window? Then give customers what they need to make the fix themselves. It’s not good enough to say “meh, guess you gotta buy one of our newer chips then 🤷”
- Comment on I spent ~$35 on new cables and my LAN speed increased 6x 3 months ago:
I forget the order 5 times in the middle of crimping each side, so you’re doing better than me.
- Comment on Immich v1.109.1 released with optional paid license 3 months ago:
I like having more ways to support the project, but I don’t think “license” is the correct terminology they should use, unless they intend to release paid-only features which I’m not a fan of at all.
- Comment on Now I have 1 GBit fiber and can't benefit :-( 4 months ago:
Something to look for besides bandwidth is actual packet routing throughput. It’s possible you enabled a feature (ex. Deep packet inspection) that is limiting how many packets can be routed per second given the speed of your hardware.
- Comment on I have a IBM eServer xSeries 346, does anyone has experience with the ServeRaid-7k, to create a RAID array? Also, you can ask me anything about this 2005 beast! 7 months ago:
Why is that? Does the motherboard effectively just not have enough inputs for all the disks, so that’s why you need dedicated hardware that handles some kind of raid configuration, and in the end the motherboard just sees it all as one drive? I never really understood what SCSI was for. How do the drives connect, SATA/PATA/something else?
- Comment on Pause alerts during the night 7 months ago:
Modern Android Do Not Disturb is configurable enough for you to do this. Allow your family contacts through, block the rest.

You’re saying you see a bunch of login attempts on your router, but you don’t think they actually got into it?
- Comment on How to auto-reboot if CPU load too high? 8 months ago:
I would assume that wouldn’t cause so much contention that the system is unusable, though, right? Unless they’re busy waiting.
- Comment on Backblaze B2 vs other storage providers to store legally ripped media 8 months ago:
Sounds like OP is asking about file storage. Video streaming could be spotted using info leaked regarding traffic behavior. But uploading an encrypted file for storage shouldn’t leak anything except the size.
- Comment on What is your preferred method for backing up several TB of data? 8 months ago:
I’ve been using TrueNas with a nightly sync to Backblaze for years and I like it.
It used to be called FreeNas and used FreeBSD. Now the BSD version is called TrueNas Core, and a new Linux based version is called TrueNas Scale.
I would go with TrueNas Scale if I were starting a new one today. You probably won’t use the “jail” functionality immediately, but they’re super handy, and down the line if you start playing with them, you’ll run into fewer compatibility issues running Linux vs BSD.
- Comment on Should I bother with HTTPS over Tailscale? 9 months ago:
Yes, I misread and immediately deleted my post lol. I think you were talking about tailscale VPN, and I was thinking something more like cloudflare tunnel.
That said, the risk is still there that tailscale (or whichever middle company) can read your plaintext packets.
- Comment on How I accidentally slowed down my nextcloud instance for months 9 months ago:
Good job debugging it. Where’d you get that list of IPs?
- Comment on YSK: Indeed and other job sites are saturated with scams 9 months ago:
This is literally what public/private key signing was invented for.
The person affiliated with the company signs their posting/emails with their private key, and the company maintains a list of all public keys corresponding to anyone working for them. That way, anyone outside the company who is allegedly talking to someone from a certain company can validate the signature against the public key to ensure it came from who they say they are.
- Comment on Open casting alternative (by Amazon?) 9 months ago:
I’ve seen Thread mentioned twice so far, but I don’t think I’ve heard of it, and apparently a name like that makes it impossible to find any information about it. Do you have a link plz?
- Comment on Open casting alternative (by Amazon?) 9 months ago:
If something could cast from one of my devices to another of my devices using the cast button, that’s all I want. I can strap one of those devices to my TV and be golden.
- Comment on Open casting alternative (by Amazon?) 9 months ago:
This looks neat, though sounds like only the grayjay/futo app can cast to it, and I doubt any app would natively adopt it. Assuming it’s not just casting a video feed from your phone, my guess as to how it works is, it just copies the relevant cookies over to the fcast device where it can just pretend to be your phone as far as the server is concerned.
This would be fine if it supports all the apps I use, and I’m the only one ever casting, but I don’t want to force guests to install and configure another middleware app to just to cast stuff. My hope is that Matter will somehow solve these, but I probably shouldn’t get my hopes up.
I should try setting up fcast either way though, see how it goes. Thanks.
- Comment on Open casting alternative (by Amazon?) 9 months ago:
It’s the same Matter afaik, but yeah, I had forgotten about the interop standard and originally thought “Matter” was specific to this casting spec.
- Comment on Open casting alternative (by Amazon?) 9 months ago:
I don’t know the specifics of Miracast, but my impression was that it is specifically used to cast a video stream from one device to another device. That is sometimes useful, but not what I typically use my Chromecast for.
The most useful feature of my Chromecast is the ability to be logged into Plex/Netflix/HBO/Spotify/YouTube/etc on my (or my guest’s) mobile device, and effectively send a link and a (probably ephemeral) token to the Chromecast so that it can stream directly from the server to the Chromecast without my mobile device spending battery power and bandwidth being a middle-man.
And I assume the difficult part here is down to copyright reasons. Most of those streaming sites already limit the number of devices you can permit to stream content (which sucks, but is besides the point), so my impression is that they need to have some kind of under-the-table agreement with the Chromecast/Roku/Firestick/Apple TV/etc. folks to ensure that the device will correctly validate the credentials, not save any of the content, and properly dispose of everything when it’s done. And I assume Google has similar talks about when a device on the network is allowed to be listed as a casting device to apps.
Does Miracast already handle this?

- Comment on YSK: You can search (most of?) lemmy as a search engine 11 months ago:
I don’t think it should be necessary to tell a search engine where the most relevant results are located. That’s literally the only point of a search engine. I want to enter a search term, and if the best results are on reddit, I want to see those, or if it’s on Lemmy I want to see that, or if the best result is somewhere else I don’t know about, THAT’S what I want to see. The fact that we have to manually tell search engines where to search is completely backwards.
Not ranting at you, you’ve done good work. Just disappointed at the current state of “search” engines.
