See my vest!

The stack I use has been pretty solid:

• Calibre docker container accessible via Guacamole
• Calibre-Web docker container as "front-end"
• Readarr docker container to obtain new books via Usenet (primarily ALTHub)
• SABNzbd docker container to download

Readarr searches Usenet for books, then sends what it finds to SABNzbd, which downloads the file to a folder that Calibre watches, which then imports the book and adds it to its database, which Calibre-Web has access to, so in a minute or two it's available in Calibre-Web for download/reading/conversion.

If for some reason the book isn't available via Readarr/Usenet, it can be downloaded via other methods and uploaded to Calibre-Web, so everything ends up in the same place.

NewsBlur. The "full article text" feature is excellent.

Orthodox Jews aren't allowed to interact with certain things on the Sabbath, so the temperature display is turned off and other stuff is automated so no adjustments can be made on that day.

Not just listening, but also sending. Your instance also needs to be able to send your stuff elsewhere.

The post title should really be "The Internet is a Privacy Nightmare If You Think You Might One Day Want To Send a Takedown Request to a Malicious Site".

YSK that deletions are federated just like everything else. If you delete a post on your home instance, that deletion request is sent to all other instances that federated properly/are not malicious, and your post will be deleted from those instances as well.

YSK that images are only ever stored on your home instance. All other instances only link to the image on your home instance. So deleting an image deletes it from the server and breaks the link everywhere.

Great, so some governments operate like a fridge in Sabbath Mode

More content and also much longer retention - many providers retain files for 4000+ days (11 years).

It doesn't matter if that one guy in Macedonia is still seeding, if it's on a server with good retention, you'll get it immediately and at very fast, non-Macedonian speeds.

Good article, thanks for writing and sharing here!

I'm not an Android developer, but I do know Linux, and it sounds like Samsung's maintenance mode could just be another user with different permissions, with access to system directories but not user home directories.

If, as you say, Google gives the primary user full rights (like having admin rights in Windows), that would mean that Samsung might be creating "regular" users without those rights, and "maintenance mode" could simply be another regular user - by default, regular users don't have access to other regular user's home directories.

An instance contains a database that stores usernames, what users are subscribed to, and more.

It also contains code that requests data like posts, upvotes, links to images, etc. When you post something from your instance at your domain on a community on lemmy.world, your instance sends that post to lemmy.world and also watches that post so you'll be notified of replies, upvotes, etc.

This is the "federation" that makes Lemmy work, and all instances that have users who interact with other users on other instances do it. So the answer to the question "who checks that" is: your instance and every other instance anyone on your instance interacts with.

Simply subscribing to a community from your instance is also part of federation, because you're requesting data from other instances. These other instances require an address to deliver the data to, in the same way the postal service cannot deliver your mail without an address.

An instance is basically all the stuff that allows you to do the things you want to do on Lemmy. If you don't want to set up an account on someone else's server, you'll need to do it yourself.

This is the easiest method I've found to set up an instance: https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy

You will need a Linux server and know how to update, configure and secure it, and you will need to know how to point your domain name at your server via DNS A record.

If you can do those things, you can get a Lemmy instance up and running with that script in a few minutes.

You need 2 indexers (in case one goes down temporarily) and two providers with different backbones - one primary and one to backfill if all portions of the file you want aren't available on your primary.

Here's a good overview of Usenet backbones. For example, Newsdemon with Eweka is a decent combo.

This all works best with an *arr stack + SABnzbd. *arr apps will connect to the indexers so you can find stuff to download when you search for something - for example, Sonarr for TV shows.

When a file that meets your requirements is found, Sonarr will download the nzb file and put it in a directory that SAB watches. SAB then downloads the file and puts it in "completed" directory that Sonarr watches.

Sonarr then moves the file to that TV show's directory, which your media player (like Jellyfin) watches, and then it shows up there for you to enjoy.

If you get everything dialed right, it works perfectly and is super reliable.

The hard way: Fake email address via anonaddy or something, fake employer review "Walmart sux lol".

Or you could try one of these in the console:

$("#ContentWallHardsell").remove();window.onscroll = null;$("body").css({"height": "unset", "overflow": "unset"});

("#HardsellOverlay").remove(); window.onscroll = null; $("body").css({"height": "unset", "overflow": "unset", "position": "unset"});

My main system is a Dell Wyse 5070 Extended running Pop-OS, but its main purpose is to be small on my desktop while being just enough computer to run ThinLinc (which is like RDP for Linux). ThinLinc connects to a much more powerful VM in my Proxmox cluster that runs Debian 11, which is my "real" desktop where I spend all of my time.

However, I'm currently working on setting up a new server with a better CPU, more RAM and a Tesla P4, after which my "real" desktop will be a Nobara 38 VM (based on Fedora) with the Tesla card passed through.

For me, yes. My instance is considerably faster and has better uptime than any of the instances I have created accounts on. Mostly because I'm the only one using it.
