  • Installed it because of this thread to my homelab today. I never really managed my phone images in any way, never uploaded them anywhere. This was the first time. About 5 gigabytes of images and videos were synced to my NAS in a few minutes, now I can search them and all that. It's a pretty cool setup, although the installation is a bit tricky if you don't go to the path they give you. I run a Postgres server in Proxmox, and you have to install just the right version of pgvecto.rs for the system to work.

    Browsing the issues I was able to figure out what went wrong, and after downgrading, no issues.

  • Talking about Stephen King, Misery is a great movie.

  • I never really watched any horror movies until this October we binge watched almost 40 movies from that genre.

    I agree, some of the absolute greatest films are from that genre, and you can find very interesting stuff from there if you dig a bit.

    I'm now kind of mad at how I didn't find Evil Dead earlier in my life. Or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre...

  • I didn't like The Dark Knight at all. It was just kind of boring and the acting didn't do anything for me.

    I also think Nolan is highly overrated.

  • I would love to spend a night with him, sitting together at a kitchen table, him constantly ranting about movies and giving anecdotes, me pouring more wine...

    I think this is the beauty of Tarantino.

  • It takes a lot of shelf space for enough mugs to have a Maß every night.

  • Rule

    Jump
  • Aurora Borealis!

  • If you ever visit Hamburg, this place will blow your mind:

    https://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/

    I don't even have words to tell you how cool that place is. We went to an art exhibition in Hamburg, and kind of accidentally went to see that place too. Like, they have day/night cycle there. They have trains with little cameras on top of them so you can travel in them. They have model planes landing and they have cruise ships going in real water.

    So damn cool.

  • Cloudflare R2 is the cheapest here, it's free for some gigabytes and egress is free too.

    To be honest, I'd just disable image uploads...

  • That and The Owl House: too great shots cancelled by Disney.

  • As said in the thread, you need some kind of tunnel that stays up and doesn't need to be fixed if the internet goes down.

    Wireguard, or if wanting super easy setup, Tailscale version of Wireguard is great for this. Now you have a private IP address in your VPN network to your home server, that stays up and answers to HTTP. Next thing you need is a cheap VPS somewhere with a public IP address. When that is running, and is in the Wireguard network so you can access your home server from the VPS, you need a Nginx proxy in the public server. Either do it by hand, or use a service such as the Nginx Proxy Manager to handle the proxy setup.

    How it basically works is you register a domain name (A, CNAME) to the public VPS service, then with Nginx you setup that anything coming in to the domain X should be proxied to the VPN IP address Y and port Z. Now you can add HTTPS to this domain and get a Let's Encrypt certificate for it. You can, again, do this manually with Nginx, or let Nginx Proxy Manager handle it for you.

    Finally. Stay safe. If you really open services to public internet from your home, be very sure to have all the latest updates and use strong passwords in all of them. Additionally, you can use the home services directly from the Wireguard/Tailscale network by accessing them using the private IP addresses. Your computer should just be in the same network with them.

  • No, I play my own music files.

  • Some people don't care about organizing their music and all that. They just want their playlists and an algorithm to tell what to listen...

    Me? I enjoy my properly tagged Plex library.

  • I'm running it in my homelab for projects I do not (yet) push anywhere public, and projects containing private items such as ssh keys. It is snappy and has a ton of features. I can imagine when the federation support works, one can set up their own git forge and contribute more easily to other forges no matter what software they run.

    And, to be honest, that is already how git works if you use the email workflow. Here we just get a web based flow with federated issues and pull requests. But if email is enough for you, you can have a full federation with email and git.

  • I borrowed an installation CD from the local library around 1998. It was RedHat 5.x, and I started messing around with it due to me being interested in alternative operating systems. Before it, I had OS/2 Warp 3.0 in our IBM Pentium 100 MHz family computer which didn't really do it for me to be honest.

    It took weeks to get anything working with Linux. I went to the library, borrowing books. In our middle school we had an internet connection, so I utilized it to learn how to configure modelines correctly to get X11 running.

    When it did finally run, the default window manager was FVWM95, almost like Windows 95!

    I used OSX a few years in the power PC times, just to switch back to Linux around 2008.

    Edit: my real love for Linux started when I got Debian running. RedHat didn't have anything comparable to apt those days. You needed to download RPM packages manually with all the dependencies, while apt just worked with one command.
