  • So, I just walk into the film studios lobbies(Everyone of them) and ask them for an Ethernet cord, I proceed to connect my NAS to it and download every movie released by that same film studio. I've never had an issue from them.

    Because, everything on the internet is true, right? Maybe I posted a totally false statement because it sounds good on the area of the internet I posted, or maybe I didn't make a totally inaccurate and false statement and want everyone to know how amazing it is. The world will never know!

  • According to them DuckDuckGo largely sources Bing, however they also have their own crawler called DuckDuckBot.

  • I agree, even disagreements are kept civil and pleasant unlike on certain corporate platforms.

  • We can try to break it down a little. Work notifications are not very exciting, so it probably doesn't give us a dopamine hit, however the notifications could be stressful if they are always about work and timelines. Study might be beneficial, it really depends on if it is a reminder or wants us to perform an action. Play varies widely, from a notification that a friend is or wants to play a game, to a developer has posted their weekly digest of what's been happening, these tend to give us dopamine as well as they can be interesting to learn about what's happening.

  • As an adult, we do too, and it also negatively impacts us. When I left the other social platforms I took the time to uninstall or disable many notifications, I now receive a total of 5 a day on average. It's good to see these conversations happening though, whether we react and change though only time will tell.

  • I just spun a container up to test this, it disables the registration and only allows invites after the initial account has been created, it returns an error if someone accesses the registration page and tries to create an account, https://www.focalboard.com/guide/server-setup/#registering-the-first-user

    To invite a user, click on the Focalboard logo in the top left, Invite users, Copy link.

    There doesn't appear to be anyway to manage users or non-owned boards, you can reset a user's password through commands, https://www.focalboard.com/guide/admin/#resetting-passwords

  • I agree, 100%. I never posted on other social media platforms until trying Lemmy, Mastodon, or Firefish. I find the fediverse is a really pleasant experience as long as the instance moderates can keep up with the spam, trolls, and other unwanted content. I think it's because it's not trying to commercialize the platforms that makes it more interesting and pleasant, at least for me.

  • I like that they show the team on the About Us page, always makes me trust companies more. I also like that they have fun with the branding and mascot.

  • I've used Namecheap for several years, no problems experienced with it.

  • Since all of the Reddit changes happened I took the time to try and back away from social media as I had a sort of addiction and probably still do. Now I consume much of my social media in the form of RSS feeds, even took the time to add all of my YouTube subscriptions to a RSS feed reader and unsubscribed from channels that I felt were too clickbaity, don't get me wrong there are a few I still follow.

  • There are also some of us that are/were trying and experimenting with different types of the fediverse, such as Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon, Firefish, Pixelfed, etc. I have found myself gravitating toward Firefish, and Mastodon for the feed style, where as Lemmy, and Kbin are better as a forum or Pixelfed for image feeds.

  • Take a look at RSS-Bridge and RSSHub. They provide feeds for many websites that don't provide their own RSS feed.

  • Yeah, that's kind of what I expected and I am now thinking of keeping my setup how it is currently and getting a mini PC for less important data and services to tinker with.

  • Thanks for the reassurance. What I currently have is exactly that, RAID for the local data, and a spare drive that is mounted and unmount when data is backed up, and that is rsynced offsite to a cloud provider. I figured that my current setup was really reliable as I had slowly been researching and working on this over a few years.

    I have a sort of itch to play with a mini PC, I guess it would be best not to hurt any of my important data by downgrading the setup, however this is a good time to really sort and figure out what I need and is important and what isn't as important and can be reobtained if something fails on the mini PC.

  • Thanks for that information about iSCSI, I hadn't looked into it. I will probably just stick with my primary server for the moment, maybe rebuild it into a NAS, and than use mini PCs with it as the storage.

  • I guess, my primary concern was if I didn't have the computer with ZFS(in my case btrfs but similar thing). Maybe it is for the best that I keep the raid setup to scrub and make sure important data is safe, and use the smaller single disk mini PC for services and data that isn't as important.
