Instance suggestions - a new home for me

Jump

  • I self hosted my instance to avoid the issue once and for all

    • How to reverse proxy?

    Jump

    • My take on Alpine as a platform for selfhosting

    Jump

  • On gentoo, yes they are distributed as packages

    • Should Lemmy Consider Implementing a Voice Chat Feature? Exploring the Pros, Cons, and Implications for a Federated Platform

    Jump

  • Nope, I would say no.

    • Best option for hosting ebooks and audiobooks?

    Jump

  • +1 for audiobookshelf

    I use it for audiobooks and podcasts.

    Does it support ebooks? Never known.

    Anyway I wouldn't use it for ebooks, better to use a dedicated reader. Even if they seems to be the same stuff (books) they really are not as one is pure audio and other pure text. Way different way to use them that I think no good reader supports both formats at once in a satisfactory way.

    • How do you document your Homelab?

    Jump

  • Here: https://wiki.gardiol.org/

    Based on Dokuwiki and my own experience. Mostly started to track what and why I do stuff, and published because I truly believe in a free internet.

    • Why don't these code-writing AIs just output straight up machine code?

    Jump

  • They would not be able to.

    Ai only mix and match what they have copied from human stuff, and most of code out there is on high level language, not machine code.

    In other words, ai don't know what they are doing they just maximize a probability to give you an answer, that's all.

    But really, the objective is to provide a human with a more or less correct boilerplate code, and humans would not read machine code

    • audiobookshelf listen to podcast without downloading

    Jump

  • Yes, if you mean not download to the client. By default they are streamed to your client.

    If you are asking NOT to download them to the server itself.... Nope, make no sense after all... You are selfhosting...

    Just use antennapod instead or another podcast client and don't use abs in that case.

    • How do I become stronger? (physically)

    Jump

  • It take months, years... It is a long con game... Don't give up and keep working hard, nothing comes easy!

    • Plex staff leaving review on Play Store for Plex

    Jump

  • This is misinformation.

    I run my jellyfin behind reverse proxy and use SSO pretty well. There is a OIDC plugin for jellyfin that just works with your preferred SSO.

    Indeed Plex is easier to use, and manage all that for you, but this is self hosted community after all, there is smart people capable of running a reverse proxy and a proper SSO.

    For the others, Plex indeed is forth paying for (?).

    • Plex staff leaving review on Play Store for Plex

    Jump

  • Feels like you patrol lemmy to post again and again the same list of "bugs" about a single specific piece of software meanwhile there is an open war moved by a commercial company against that specific piece of software, so yes this is why I think you work or have some personal interest in Plex.

    And the fact you run both means nothing, it only make sense that Plex people checkout the market

    Also, jellyfin has real downsides to Plex and security is not one of those.

    Jump

  • I am monitoring my stuff, yes, I think its basic selfhost good practice when you expose stuff.

    Beside the monitoring, if I got hacked, they did nothing with that hack so, what's the point.

    Unless of course all my collection has been converted to porn or something without me even noticing...

    • Plex staff leaving review on Play Store for Plex

    Jump

  • I am pretty positive you are a Plex shill too at this point...

    Keep popping up every time somebody speaks good of jellyfin...

    If there are really all those safety holes... Please explain why my publicly exposed instance never got hacked all these years.

    • When did you start working around with Linux?

    Jump

  • Cool, no, not my version but very close to it...

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • I use radicale with great success. Highly recommended. It's simple and barebone, get the job done, doesn't get into the way.

    Is it fancy and has bells and whistles? No. But who cares given how solid and easy it is.

    It has no web calendar, you need an additional tool for that.

    • When did you start working around with Linux?

    Jump

  • Kudos gentoo colleague! Its the best distro all around.

    I started when I was less than 18. It was some prehistoric redhat, like redhat 0.1 or such (joking, but really, it was the '90s)

    Then around -can't remember- guess 18 or 19. It was Linux From Scratches because... Gentoo didn't exist back then...

    Gentoo has been love at first sight and still today I only use gentoo everywhere. Servers, laptops, mediacenters....

    I even ported gentoo on an android tablet 10 years ago.

    • Linux kernel is leaving 486 CPUs behind, only 18 years after the last one made

    Jump

  • Yeah, me neither... I moved from an 8088 (8Mhz) to a 386dx (40Mhz) directly to a Pentium 90Mhz.... Skipped the 486...

    • people whose have been through Long Distance Relationship, before internet is very accessible, whats your story?

    Jump

  • Tank you, I had a few more partners both close and long distances. and ended up marrying the girl that was working the desk next to mine. So I guess I was fed up with LDR after all ...

    • TIL there was a woman pope.

    Jump

  • Nope, no female pope...

    • In regard to Hyprland and Fascism

    Jump

  • Fixed that, you are correct.

    Still, I don't care if they are gay or straight communist or fascist, black yellow white or gray. Software is a tool and its apolitical.
