Not OP. I guess it depends on the frame of reference. Comparing to other inefficient methods it might seem OK :)

- Comment on We should have elections with no candidates. 3 weeks ago:
That won’t really work. Had an exact thing in an unofficial capacity - more along the lines of “answer the questions to see what party you align with most”. The result - the biggest lying traitor shitbags were the match.
Declared views != actual views.

No.
- Comment on A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse | Users own their content, and Loops doesn’t sell or provide videos to third-party advertisers or train AI on them. It will be open source 3 weeks ago:
It is created by the samw dev as pixelfed - wouldn’t be surprised if parts were reused to bootstrap quickly.

Irc is not federated, though. Servers don’t talk to each other
- Comment on “I am still alive”: Users say T-Mobile must pay for killing “lifetime” price lock 3 weeks ago:
Takes half a minute to start playing, which gets annoying real quick when a toddler gets involved with all the short videos.
Random buffering every 10-15 minutes on most 1080p as well as 4k videos.
Random buffering every couple of minutes on certain videos - the whole of
the office usis the last one I remember.Crappy multi audio track support - some of them play, but most don’t. What was most infuriating at first was jellyfin happily selecting the track I want in UI and then just playing the default one anyway.
The UI is kinda crap - I understand moving on a tv screen is more difficult, but god damn - what jellyfin is doing with arrow navigation is plain masochistic.
When it works - it’s beautiful. But it rarely does so for long enough.
I really want to like it, but it’s doing its best to push me away.
And before you suggest anything - I’ve already tried everything there is to try that’s available on the open internet. Happy to hear something that’s never been posted anywhere, though!

I can only vouch for my setup; many variations are available.
- Nextcloud - files, photo autoupload, contacts, calendar
- Postfix and dovecot (and a bunch of friends) - email
- Pixelfed - private instagram. Can federate, but I’ve never enabled that.
- Opnsense - firewall, vpn, adblocking via unbound. Wireguard is my choice, but any would do. I get all my lan stuff available everywhere.
- Jellyfin - media library. It’s kinda sucky, though, thinking of going back to plex, unfortunately.
- Lemmy - well. You know what it is :)
- Graphene on a pixel
Hit me up if you ever decide to go self hosting route and need a hand with a thing or two!

For those already owning one - try setting up pihole or an equivalent. Sony could be serving ads from a domain used by something like a cdn, but I bet they don’t.

I’m a syaadmin now, but self hosting nextcloud is what got me my first IT job. I now host a bunch of stuff (even email!), lemmy included.
how did you decide that you would like to self-host? I wanted my friends to play a cs1.6 map I had created.
- Comment on How to avoid "things going wrong" and immutable distros? 2 months ago:
dire problems, including those that accumulate over time
That’s not a thing. You create problems over time by experimening in what is, effectively, production load. If all you ever did was install any distro and kept it up to date - not much can break. Granted - shit happens, but it’s incredibly rare.
As an example - I’ve set up my mail server in May 2019. Chose archlinux, because I never wanted to go through a big upgrade. The only exta software installed there is mail-server related. Direct from the repos. I’ve become confident enough that now there’s a nightly cronjob to update the system with a hook to reboot if kernel or init gets updated.
In all those 5 a bit years I’ve had one issue where I hqd to revert a kernel update.
Another example is tang on an ubuntu server. This was at a previous workplace, but essentially it’s a piece of software from the repos. Originally installed on 16.04, has gone without reprovisioning all the way to 22.04. I’ve now left the company, but I hear it’s still running.
Upgrading an ubuntu desktop fleet with a myriad of custom software, on the other hand… let’s just not talk about it.

- Comment on am i an idiot: selfhosting a Signal Proxy and/or a Tor Relay 3 months ago:
I’ve skimmed over the blog post briefly - the post itself has nothing, but the link in it to the git repo has a (what appears to me) very straightforward set of instructions.
Text is difficult, I don’t mean to be an ass; I don’t want to spell it out for anyone, either. Part of magic dies that way :)
Let me know if there’s any step you need a hand with.

No it won’t. That’s such a stupid thing to write about. I don’t remember tomshardware being this clickbaity.

I agree in general, but would like to point out that it is possible to escape. Not completely, but I have managed to set up an environment where it’s mostly fine. And by mostly fine I mean not perferct, but using somebody else’s device makes my eye twitch.

Technically, I guess. Any country that’s not US will do.
- Comment on My take on selfhosted photo management 8 months ago:
I don’t have your requirements, but nextcloud with Memories works well enough for me. Nextcloud does the file things, including auto upload from phones. Memories then displays those photos.

Never had the chance to seriously look into libressl. Do you think it would work fine if most of the world was running it rather than openssl?

I think this is a fruit of the labour that was done by some guy reverse engineering gta vc. It got shut down by rockstar, but the source was public, so it lives on.

Higher quality video comes chaptered most of the time, I use that to skip the intro fairly reliably. No need for plex pass!
