• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft releases lightweight Office taskbar apps for Windows 11⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  “Lightweight”

  So in Microsoft terms, only 5GB or so to install, 20% of my CPU and 2GB of RAM while idle doing nothing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Over engineering my homelab so I don't pay cloud providers⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’m running ZFS with raw disks, and most things are in containers anyways, just a few VMs for Windows or stuff that doesn’t like containers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Over engineering my homelab so I don't pay cloud providers⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It could be depending on the underlying filesystem and how it’s set up, I’ve run into that before.

  But my self hosted stuff doesn’t need particularly fast disk IO, so I don’t really notice even if there is a bottleneck lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Over engineering my homelab so I don't pay cloud providers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds neat!

  I’ve always read the performance hit of a VM is pretty minimal, like 1% or less on most tasks. Is it really that much faster for you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I stop Docker trying to pull from IPv6?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if it has an IPv6 address that can’t route, it’s odd that the OS isn’t falling back to IPv4.

  But disabling IPv6 in the OS should fix it, as this is not a docker problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This boomer couple would be hit with $700,000 tax bill if they sold their mansion⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The tax is only 20%, like you get to keep the other 80%. That sounds pretty good to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The future is NOT Self-Hosted, but Self-Sovereign⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That web page is 24MB and took over 11s to load on a gigabit connection and fast PC, to show some text with a font that I find very hard to read.

  87 individual .js files !

  24MB to read some text written by an LLM just makes me sad about the current state of things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  For what it’s worth there are smartwatches with good battery life too, my Garmin Venu 2 lasts at least a week with sleep tracking, workout tracking, and some GPS use through the week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Backblaze B2 for storage, and I host Healthchecks myself at home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can do USB-C at a basic 5V level with 2 resistors, and for a watch that would be plenty of power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨selfh.st: improper etiquette by 2010 standards? (trackers, no RSS) Thoughts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Referral tracking with the URL is fine IMO, it’s useful for someone running a site to see what other sites they are getting traffic from, and it doesn’t really affect my privacy.

  I have noticed the RSS feed thing, I assume they want to get site traffic and are preventing people from reading with a feed reader or something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Help request] How do I go about debugging my router?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you trying to access the domain from inside your own network that it forwards to? If so that may not work due to the way NAT works.

  Try from your cellphone data plan to verify.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Opnsense is also great, and has a webUI for easier setup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Healthchecks is incredibly nice for this kind of thing, it’ll notify you if it doesn’t receive a ‘success’ ping on whatever interval you specify.

  I use it for all my Restic backups.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So I wouldn’t put Pihole on the internet, but instead set up a Wireguard VPN on your devices and access Pihole via that.

  Then you can use the dynamic DNS hostname for Wireguard, and a direct IP for Pihole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great Advertise⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They all have this exact art style, you’ll start to see it everywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Random Screenshots of my Games #64 - Enshrouded (Revisited)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Enshrouded is my most played game over the last few months, it’s such a fun time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this the end of Bootloader Unlocking in the EU?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Secure boot force enabled with preset certificates would essentially do that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proton releases a new app for two-factor authentication⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well hopefully the 2FA data is encrypted and the app requires a pin or password to access.

  Plus my password manager also needs a pin after it times out, and my computers all have their drives encrypted too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proton releases a new app for two-factor authentication⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like it has encrypted sync and desktop apps too, so that’s nice if you need stuff on multiple devices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to disable Microsoft Recall & stop the AI from taking screenshots of your desktop.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  MacOS doesn’t really run on my hardware, but yeah editing software and CAD software are the reasons I’m on Windows still.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm never going back to Matrix - Terence Eden⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The awful spam was the reason I left, I got mass invited to rooms with really nasty names, and there’s no way in the clients to mass ignore invites, you have to go to each one and click ignore.

  That wouldn’t be the end of the world, except their client seems to rely on waiting for the server to respond to an action in the foreground, so every time I click ignore it sits there processing for like 10-20 seconds before I can click the next one.

  Also they said even after banning the accounts, there’s no way on their end to remove the invites the banned account sent out.

  Overall it’s just painful to use, the clients are bad, the moderation system doesn’t work (what kind of system lets 1 account send out thousands of invites), their cleanup system doesn’t work, and everything just feels slow as molasses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You need to learn some docker stuff, but the underlying OS can be anything including Windows, and the database is part of the docker-compose stack and is handled automatically, I used the SQLite docker-compose file they provide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Noob Tailscale questions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The phones hotspot will bypass the VPN, so you’ll need to run it directly on the device.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of the stuff I run on my server is just a basic docker-compose.yaml file and it’s up and running. Some random examples:

  • Immich
  • Peertube
  • Pinchflat
  • Vaultwarden
  • Mealie
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most things are super easy, like 2-5 minutes of set up and it’s running and working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s gonna be like 100 years before Matrix and the clients are in a good place at this rate. It only seems to be getting worse right now with more fragmented clients and servers with more and more spam issues, and the performance just keeps getting worse too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t get your hopes up, I deleted my account on matrix.org because of that same spam, and there’s no way to mass ignore invites to the hundreds of rooms from all the spam accounts they let run rampant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Problem is then you miss important info, for example if friends are talking about a game server they’re running and post the connection details, or if they plan an event with a location and time to meet, if you don’t have a bouncer and were offline then you can’t see those messages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6G mobile could divide the world⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Likely more efficient use of spectrum, which means more clients on a tower without everything grinding to a halt.
