I also would like to know what the desktop app is used for?

I've seen apps like xpipe that have direct Bitwarden integration if you want (way too high risk for me but I can see some people using it), but even then it integrates directly to the servers API. When I need an ssh password or something I copy and paste it from the browser extension. I'm curious if I'm missing some functionality by not using the app.

You don't have the knowledge or experience to do this for a business. This is different than a personal cloud. You will be blamed when things don't work.

Don't touch this with a 10ft pole.

If you want to help, find commercial services that offer this and suggest those.

Would appreciate a link please! Can't seem to find it on DDG

Whatever country you are from, think about the most backwards/rural/remote location that has people with backwards and regressive views.

Consider that India likely has 5 to 10x the population of rural folks in small villages that have midevil views compared to your country.

Add in long standing cultural misogynist views that is so pervasive it fully permeates all aspects of government and life and you quickly get to a point where abuse and domestic violence is tolerated.

As per usual, it's not like the entire country shares these views. It's just the the number of backwards views in India is numerically huge because of its population.

This right here. I tried to join Mastodon today.

Download the most recommended app, Moshidon

Open app and get asked which instance i want to join. There are no suggestions.

Do a search for instances and pick one, go to the website and register with email and password. Requires email confirmation. Still waiting on the email confirmation link, 4 hrs later and 2 resends.

Literally haven't been able to sign up yet.

Even if it had worked, the workflow would have been to change back to the app, type out the instance then re-login.

I'm not sure how anyone expects anyone other than the most hardcore to sign up for these services. Maybe that's the point but if the point is to grow the user sign up process to significant overall

Use aegis, export the keys and then reimport them every time you switch. Trusting your second factor to a cloud is a disaster waiting to happen.

If you want to get fancy setup your own cloud server (nextcloud, Seafile, owncloud etc) and set the backup folder for aegis to the self hosted cloud for easy restore every time you switch ROMs.

The comments here saying to not bother with 10gbe is surprising considering it's the selfhosted community, not a random home networking self help. Dismissing a reasonable request form someone who is building a homelab is not a good way to grow niche communities like this one on the fediverse.

10gbe has come down in price a lot recently but is still more expensive than 1gb of course.

Pornhub would make more money simply starting a vpn service rather than try to gather IDs

https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/30/fidelity-deepens-valuation-cut-for-reddit-and-discord/

Valued at 10 billion when fidelity bought an ownership stake in 2021.

Currently they estimate Reddit is worth 5.6 billion

Well done team, I bet the investor calls are going great!

Self hosted AI seems like an intriguing option for those capable of running it. Naturally this will always be more complex than paying someone else to host it for you but it seems like that's that only way if you care about privacy

https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI

Even better, cron job every 5 mins and if total remaining space falls to 5% auto delete the file and send a message to sys admin

"i swear it's not a lot"

Goes on the describe an infrastructure setup comparable to most medium sized businesses

I love this community!

Thank you for including oAuth options for sign on. Makes a big difference being able to use the same account for all the things like freshRSS, seafile, immich etc.

There should be a plugin that replaces the actual YouTube video with an embedded mpc or VLC player that streams the video like this on the website itself

Mastodon being 65% was a surprise to me for sure. What's the best mastodon app?

Also how do I use it efficiently for tech related news and info? I never got into twitter.

Edit: I should probably specify for Android

Please post on lemmy! I really liked seeing the devs give updates on Reddit.

An open source platform feels completely natural for a project like jellyfin!

I have an older XPS where where the CPU still supports deep sleep (S3).

Most distros have it disabled by default now because neither AMD not Intel seem to officially support it in new CPUs (so windows will have the same problem)

To check if your cpu supports it, you can run: journalctl | grep S1

You should see a message that says something like CPU supports S1 S2 S3 etc. if S3 is there then deep sleep is supported and can be enabled.

Ubuntu instructions: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029474/ubuntu-18-04-dell-xps13-9370-no-longer-suspends-on-lid-close/1036122#1036122

Fedora desktop or atomic instructions: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/laptop-appears-to-sleep-but-not-suspend/77193/4

Note, this is purely the fault of CPU manufacturers for being so shitty about proper sleep and yet another point that has to be conceeded to apple. Imagine explaining to a normal person that your XPS is really good and way cheaper than a Mac...but the batter will die overnight when you need it in the morning. Literally just shooting themselves in the foot.

Hibernate works as well but takes a bit longer. Hibernate also crashes in many modern systems but again works great in my older XPS. You have to manually activate this as well and it's really not to bad with a good ssd.

That being said his should all be very basic functionality so why do I have to do this manually. This shit is why people buy Macs.

There's also room for distros to improve here. The installer can probe the CPU and see if S3 is supported, if so it can use deep sleep automatically. Why do I have to mess with Kernal arguments?

Similar for hibernate, why doesn't the installer just have a check box that sets up the hibernate file/partition?

Vaultwarden itself is actually one of the easiest docker apps to deploy...if you already have the foundation of your home lab setup correctly.

The foundation has a steep learning curve.

Domain name, dynamic DNS update, port forwarding, reverse proxy. Not easy to get all this working perfectly but once it does you can use the same foundation to install any app. If you already had the foundation working, additional apps take only a few minutes.

Want ebooks? Calibre takes 10 mins. Want link archiving? Linkwarden takes 10 mins

And on and on

The foundation of your server makes a huge difference. Well worth getting it right at the start and then building on it.

I use this setup: https://youtu.be/liV3c9m_OX8

Local only websites that use https (Vaultwarden) and then external websites that also use https (jellyfin).

Yes, you should use something that makes sense to you but ignoring docker is likely going to cause more aggravation than not in the long term.

I'm very curious how you figured that out from the screen shot?

Highly recommend Authentik for SSO.

I run it on it's own sub domain and all my other apps on their own sub domains.

It has pretty much every login protocol you could want (oauth, saml, ldap) etc.

Currently using it for jellyfin, immich, linkwarden, freshrss, and seafile.

For others, beware that in a docker, each plugin needs its own docker container.

I run everything in docker except for HA which I run in a VM (HaOS) which makes it super easy to use.

Edit: by plugins I meant add-ons

The main reason stadia failed is because they have cancelled so many projects before stadia that people were taking bets on when stadia would close before it even started.

No one wanted to buy into a service that was going to shut down and they created a self fulfilling prophecy.

Essentially all new Google projects wikl forever be doomed to this fate.

Most people that have password managers are already using different passwords for each website. Usually randomly generated. What's the difference between that and a passkey?

This. S0idle was pushed by Microsoft and Intel and amd followed. Now all new non apple CPUs are an embarrassment when it comes to sleep ability which essentially any normal person would expect without thinking about it so when they buy a brand new laptop and it ends up with a dead batter every morning people immediately just buy a Mac and get a much better experience.

Just completely shooting themselves in the foot. Same story with shitty laptop screens for nearly 5 years while Macs had retina displays.

The general principle is called single sign on (sso).

The idea is that instead of each all keeping track of users itself, there is another app (sometimes called an identity provider) that does this. Then when you try to log into an app, it takes to the to login of your identity provider instead. When the IP says you are the correct user, it sends a token to the app saying to let you access your account.

The huge benefits are if you are already logged into the IP on a browser for example, the other apps will login automatically without having to put in your password again.

Also for me the biggest benefit is not having to manage passwords for a large number of apps so family that uses my server have 1 account which gives them access to jellyfin, seafile, immich, freshrss etc. If they change that password it changes it for everything. You can enforce minimum password requirements. You can also add 2FA to any app now immediately.

I use Authentik as my identity provider: https://goauthentik.io/https://goauthentik.io/

There's good guides to settings it up with traefik so that you get let encrypt certificates and can use traefik for proxy authentication on web based apps like sonarr. There are many different authentication methods an app can choose to use and Authentik essentially supports everything.

https://youtu.be/CPURnYaW3Zk

SSO should really be the standard for self hosted apps because this way they don't have to worry about ensuring they have the latest security for user management etc. The app just allows a dedicated identity provider to worry about user management security so the app devs can focus on just the app.

Wait starfield works on SD? I thought it was too slow. Has there been a new patch?

Is it not in the immich_pgdata or immich-app_pgdata folder?

The volumes themselves should be stored at /var/lib/docker/volumes

For future reference, doing operations like this without backing up first is insane.

Get borgmatic installed to take automatic backups and send them to a backup like another server or borgbase.

Use the multi container extension for Firefox and have all your Google stuff in one container, banks in another, social media in another etc.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/

Look into self hosting

Setup seafile for normal dropbox like functionality and immich for photogallerly.

In the end , after alk rhe effort to trick Google, all your shit aill still be on google.

MiniPCs are quite cheap now on Alibaba or Amazon etc. Wait for a sale on a large HD abd you're good to go.

SQL is literally structured query language

It shouldn't?

I have wireguard on my phone 24/7 with no discernable battery difference

100% this. Sleep on Linux is perfect in my older XPS (after I manually enable it). Lots of reports of it not working on newer laptops.

While I agree it doesn't have to be a walled garden, you do have to admit that apple wouldn't ship a laptop that couldn't sleep properly. They are so much better at real world design than other manufacturers who were happy to abandon s3 in favour of making laptops into phones as if anyone actually wanted that.

I've been running nextcloud since before it was nextcloud. Was owncloud then moved to next cloud.

Another user put it best. It always feels 75% complete. Sync isn't fast, gives errors that self correct when restarting the all. Most plugins are even more janky or feel super barren.

I wanted to like it so much but I stopped being able to trust most plugins which meant I had dedicated apps for those things and used nextcloud only for file sync.

If you only want file sync then seafile is vastly superior so that's what I now have.

You can use both without issue. I use NFS to share between two Linux servers (unraid and proxmox/dockers) and then some of those same folders are shared via smb for desktop windows or Linux laptop.

Steamos is based on arch so they are helping with upstream development

The start of ads seems to always lead to a path of enshitification. One of the reasons I really like jellyfin is because they realized this and intentionally disabled recurrent donations. They saw what it does to Plex and saw the eventually the leadership's will try to sell out and sell the company or IPO.

Jellyfin saw the way every service seemed to go once the revenue picked up and decided they want to prevent that.

Self hosted immich is by far the closest. It has many if the same features but all runs locally

We all know the answer to this. There will be a hundred threads with thousands of comments with people saying it's not bad, the company promised x and y and we should be cautiously optimistic, but in the end it always ends the same way.

Exactly the same thing happens with IBM buying Red Hat. No shortage of articles talking about how this will be good for Red Hat and the entire open source community but of course last month they started the enshitification process that will now March on relentlessly. Even now there are defenders of red hat, talking about how it's not that bad and there are workarounds, but in the end they fail to see this is just the first step.

Once started on this path, the rule is always enshitification, any exceptions are exceedingly rare. If steam ever gets bought/sold it will follow the same path and it's defenders will stay by its side until it looks like the screen shot above.
