  I know two. One in my native tongue, and one in english.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lisp⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You can edit titles on Lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I do to make this more secure?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I would rather just making a wireguard vpn and having control of my data, but privacy might not be his concern.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotdl alternative for Navidrome⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  +1 for Deemix. ARLs are easy to find and the metadata is flawless for the 1-200 or so songs I have.

  Yeah they do. It’s quite pricy iirc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Gmail continuously nagging to enable Enhanced Safe Browsing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I mentioned in my comment that the prices were based off the cheapest “premium” plan. If I were to include freemium, tutanota, mailbox.org and others would also be free.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Gmail continuously nagging to enable Enhanced Safe Browsing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s alot of good options (prices are for the base/cheapest premium plan plan) :

  • Tutanota
    • 3€/m billed yearly
  • Protonmail
    • $4/m billed yearly
  • Mailbox.org
    • 1€/m billed yearly
  • Posteo.de
    • 1€/m billed yearly
  • Fastmail
    • $3/m billed yearly
  • Runbox
    • $1.66/m billed yearly ($19.95)

  all are good options, do your own research though.

  Tutanota does the same for e2ee, don’t know why OP didn’t mention that.

  Really refreshing after a year of a shit show.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft's recent EULA changes place heavy restrictions on Java servers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure it’s because of performance issues. 250 or so players loading chunks with a render distance of 10 chunks causes a shit ton of lag, even on their older, more optimized version of 1.12.2. They want to update to 1.19, but performance is the main reason they haven’t updated the game yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What to Look for in a NAS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course! This type of info would have greatly helped me out when I started, and saved me money and time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What to Look for in a NAS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah power consumption is a big worry I have, specially with the cost of electricity rising. I still have 2 main servers (1 as a router and 1 as a NAS) and I’ve been working on a new build for my nas which focuses on power-efficiency, something which continues to fascinate me. Currently I am down to 38 watts idle for the new machine (compared to 120+ on my NAS rack) and I’m still trying to find ways to optimize it; hardest part is finding a good balance between power consumption and stability, fuck me it’s hard to do it properly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What to Look for in a NAS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I would recommend making your own NAS instead of buying a Synology or something similar. Check out !selfhosted@lemmy.world. Hardware will cost a bit, but it’s far more worth it.

  An extremely good resource to begin learning the server environment would be esc.sh/projects/devops-from-scratch/. He has youtube videos that are really well done, I would strongly encourage you to watch atleast the first few videos as they cover topics that you will need to learn, such as : networking, explaining how linux works, etc.

  After watching a couple of his guides and learning from them, I would recommend starting a basic server using an old computer or the likes that hosts a couple of apps you will be using. Nothing important like a password manager, file storage, etc, just yet; simply the basics so you get a better understanding of using linux as a server. My recommendations of stuff to try out:

  • Installing PiHole using docker / docker-compose
  • Installing Wordpress using docker / docker-compose
  • Setting up a Wireguard server (there are also docker images, such as wg-easy) so you can connect to your home network from wherever, and use whatever services you are hosting (important if you wish to use your future NAS while not at home)
  • Installing Nginx Proxy Manager and learning how to reverse proxy your services to a hostname

  After that I would recommend you transition to Proxmox as your OS, learn from there, and then start hosting file managers/file storage (Network Attached Storage part), zoneminder/frigate for the camera system, etc. Patience is key with this type of learning.

  For the hardware part it’s all up to you: amt. of storage, amt. of ram, how big the chasis will be, power-efficiency, motherboard with features you want (ex. more pcie for 2.5gbps network card), cpu depending on how much processing power you need, … You will need to do your research on this, but I recommend getting a NAS after you understand how docker and the works function, and to tailor to your needs.

  If you have any questions let me know, hopefully you can understand what I was trying to say, not the best at conveying this type of information lol.

  Not many people care about privacy anymore. I mention it to my family, friends, etc and how they should do certain things online to stay more ‘private’ (not anonymous) and they laugh it off saying they have nothing to hide / don’t care about their stuff being online… Sucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨make dumb TV work with subscriptions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I would recommend trying different skins for Kodi, was a game changer for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tutanota vs Proton Mail⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  for me it’s pretty nice - though it varies between tastes for sure as my brother really hates it.
