Check out torbox. Its like a seedbox/debrid but the pro plan also comes with Usenet. I just started using it but seems really promising.

They have been having a lot off issues lately because they don't have enough servers yet. They are supposed to get new servers setup this week.

Newpipe is working. Just make sure you are on the latest update. YouTube broke it twice in a row not long ago. But latest update has been working for weeks now. Check the github. Looks like v0.27.2 is the latest.

Why? Passkeys are great. Though X can probably screw them up somehow.

Can't say if its "normal" or not but I'm exactly the same. It sucks sometimes cause I want to work on multiple things. Developing a project, learning a instrument, learning a new language, training cardio. But I seem to only have time for one at a time. Because I'll put soo much time into that one. Whichever one is most interesting at the time.

At the same time though I kind of think its a good thing cause when I'm interested in something I can have a lot of fun and make a lot of progress fast.

But yeah if I find a new TV show or game I have to completely finish it before I can get back to being productive.

This is what made me finally completely switch my email and docs to proton. I'm so close to being able to delete my google account now.

Well this and the docs live collaboration feature they recently added.

Depending on where you live. It could be a issue that without db you're just straight up torrenting and may need a VPN to keep from getting copyright notices. Also it will probably buffer a lot without having the db cache.

I self-host a lot of stuff. But password manager just feels risky to me. Like what if I mess up and lose all my data or something.

With bitwarden being encrypted and all I just didn't see any down side to using their server. Plus more convenient since I don't have to VPN to use it. Or open a port.

All of that just to ask. Am I missing something? Should I be self-hosting it? I wondered about using both so I'd have a backup ether way. Or in case their servers go down for awhile. But that's super rare.

Since I use a good password manager. And use TOTP on everything I can. Which admittedly I do store in my password manager as well. I don't think passkey really improves security very much in my case.

That being said though I'm a big fan of passkeys and use them everywhere I can. But I don't store them on devices only in my password manager. So I don't have to worry about if I lose a device.

I think where passkeys really shine though is for people who still aren't using a password manager. While I've tried to get everyone I know using bitwarden most still don't. And the ones that do still don't have half of there accounts in it. They are still reusing passwords across multiple sites. So I think passkeys will massively increase security for the majority of ppl. And for those of us using password managers I still think its a slight improvement to convenience.

Finally. I've been so excited for this. I have managed to never try any of the extensions so I won't be disappointed lol.

Not really a answer to your question but I thought it might help.

I tried the next cloud setup since I already self-host a bunch. And I didn't like it. Like you said updates can mess it up and sharing is annoying. Just in general it was buggy for me.

So I switched to proton. Which even though is hosted on someone else computer, it feels plenty private to me with the E2E encryption. I use proton drive which is easy to share things just like google drive. I use proton Calendar. And I use proton Email. Its slow progress but proton really seems to be fully replacing google for me. They even just added live collaboration to drive. Which was like the one thing I still use google drive for sometimes.

Depends on use case. If your trying to remoting to a friends PC to help them do something. Rustdesk.

If your remoting to your own PC. Say connecting to a windows machine at home from your work computer. RDP.

Also as others have mentioned. Best to use RDP through something like tailscale or zerotier. So you don't have to open a port for it.

I'm not sure if they are the best, but two good ones I know of.

Nomachine

RustDesk

And if some reason your using windows. Just use RDP.

There is a file system you can use. A alternative to ext4. I think its Btrfs. I never tried it. But it let's you take snapshots that you can restore to. That's not just system files but everything. And pretty sure you can use it with a disto like arch and Debian. I think that's how snapshots work. But as I said I never actually tried it out.

If I'm understanding the question right. This is what Immutable Linux distros do. Such as Nixos, fedora silver blue, and vanilla os.

I use nixos myself. But its quite different then most distros. The way you config it and install packages. For the better in my opinion.

Something like silverblue works pretty much the same as normal Fedora except you can't install packages like you normally would. Because the system files can't be edited. You mostly use flatpak for everything. Except the system updates. Which you have to reboot to switch to the new updated image. But past images are saved so you can rollback if needed.

From what I understand Chromebook os is a Immutable Linux distro same as the ones I mentioned. Just with Google with built in.

This headline would have had me over the moon and ready to move to the UK if it was still pre 2020 labor party.

Unless it was a recent change factorio doesn't "require" a account. When I host my server I disable verification and my friends who still haven't bought it are able to join no problems. If server has verification on then they can't.

Can someone explain why so many comments saying this is bad and want their instances to block threads? Seems like it would be a good thing to make the fediverse bigger and more accessible.

Fusion would be better, but the fission tech we have is already enough to fix the energy problem.

When I joined Lemmy I was on the FMHY server, but it shutdown some reason. And when I search FMHY I can't find any active communities. I still use the website all the time though.

That just happened about a week ago for me. For the second time since I starting using them. Just randomly upped my storage and upload limit. I plan to keep my box with them for the foreseeable future. I don't ever want to have to mess with VPN port forwarding. I have a home server I move my files to when I need more space on my box. But I don't use the home server for torrents.
