  • If you're starved for RAM, there's nothing wrong with a shared instance, as long as you're aware of the risk of that single instance bringing down multiple services.

    I run a three node Proxmox cluster, and two nodes have 80GB RAM each, so my situation is very different to yours. So, I have four Postgres instances:

    1. Mission critical: pretty much my RADIUS database, for wireless auth and not much else (yet)
    2. Important: paperless-ngx, and other similarly important services
    3. Immich: because Immich has a very specific set of Postgres requirements
    4. Meh: 2 x Sonarr, 3 x Radarr, 1 x Lidarr (not fussed if this instances goes down and takes all of those services with it)
  • Wasn't Proton forced to log and handover an activist's data, after a Swiss court order? I feel I read something to that effect a year or two back.

  • it is all for the environment right… right?

    That's what my daughter tells me

    ¯(ツ)_/¯

  • Just about anything from Working Dog is a winner. If you liked Utopia, and can find it, check out The Hollowmen.

  • It also applies to cardboard UHT containers, so how the fuck else should I buy milk?

  • There's a bulk depot near us, in Hallam. I've emailed to ask if I need to count them all up before I go or not. What was your experience at your bulk depot?

  • In older generations, the shitty programming appeals to gullibility and a fucked up sense of voyeurism. My 70+ mother thinks ACA is still the bastion of good current affairs reporting, and that MAFS is great prime time entertainment.

    There's only a few things I'll watch on ABC, but the rest is on my Plex server.

  • Did you catch Fisk? Tragic lawyer from Sydney moves to Melbourne. Kitty Flanagan, with a great Aussie supporting cast.

  • Each to their own. Immich devs themselves strongly recommend not relying on Immich as a backup solution.

    I don't, therefore I don't consider it critical enough to worry about.

  • Lol - Immich is one of those stacks that I let Watchtower auto-upgrade. I don't consider it mission critical if it breaks and it takes me a day or so to notice it (all my photos and videos are also backed up using Syncthing).

    I've gotten used to just going to the repo if the error message for the container doesn't immediately lead me to the fix.

  • Oh fuck, this is too funny. My wife and I watched the 4 Corners piece last night, and I said that the dumb cunt will probably be made to fall on his sword for being such an inept tool in the interview.

    For context, the journo was presenting some observations from Rod Sims, the former head of the ACCC. This dickhead's response was to state that Sims was retired. Which he did... in 2022. Journo's response was on point, about how that didn't invalidate Sims' understanding of consumer law and rights. At which point, Mr Dumbfuck Fuckface got up and walked away.

    Funniest shit I've seen in a while!

    The sad thing? Because he "voluntarily" retired, I'm fairly certain this incapable moron will still get all his fucking shares and other benefits, as part of his contract.

    Fuck Colesworth.

  • What sort of network library integrations are you referring to? The version I install directly from repo has Project Gutenberg and Internet Archive preconfigured, and I can add my own Calibre and OPDS libraries too.

    Edit: the Play Store version (Pro) is also available via the repo, along with the F-droid release. Another reason I avoid F-droid and install direct from repo using Obtainium.

  • Flawless for me, using the Qantas app here in Australia. Just a shame their service itself has turned to absolute flaming dogshit.

  • Hmmm - maybe I should be using "fewer" less times than I should be using "less" fewer times...

    ¯(ツ)_/¯

  • Librera Reader - either from F-droid, or you can use Obtainium to install directly from repo.

  • I'll answer this from my perspective, which is that of someone who started out in a tech support role 30-odd years ago, and now run engineering operations teams in data centres.

    One of the best teachers is experience, but it's hard to get that experience until someone gives you a chance. Support desk/helpdesk are great entry-level jobs that'll get you started. To help with your self-study for something like this (and if you have the means) consider starting a small homelab and growing from there.

    Perhaps you can find a cheap managed network switch - either new or second-hand - that lets you start playing with VLANs. Maybe an SBC or two (Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, etc) so you can start to experiment with Linux, and hosting servers. That'll open the door to playing with other things down the track - Docker, nginx, etc.

    The point is, when interviewing for entry level roles, I (and many hiring managers I know) will usually ask if a candidate runs a home network. By no means does that mean a candidate without one doesn't get due consideration but, when I see someone's eyes (and passion) light up when talking about their homelab, I know I'm onto someone who will grow and develop well in the role I'm hiring for.

    If this sounds like a path you want to go down, a couple of useful communities where you can get info and advice on homelabbing are !selfhosted@lemmy.world and !homelab@lemmy.ml.

  • OK - count me as another convert to Heliboard. This is what I hoped Openboard would achieve. Awesome.
