Bluesky is a lot easier to use vs fediverse stuff, discovering stuff is also easier in my experience vs mastodon.

Why so angry?

This lets you share photos without directly exposing Immich to the internet.

I don't see the point in getting so worked up over someones project they made and decided to share, it's not like you're being forced to use it.

There isn't a true replacement for Wordpress because of the sheer availability of plugins it has.

But for simple sites like blogs and personal sites Grav CMS is one I've used, and it gives you a web admin panel similar to Wordpress, so the learning curve isn't too bad.

Drupal also gets mentioned a lot as a replacement.

There are also static site generators like Hugo, but those require learning a lot about the specific one you use, and are pretty complex to use, and if you need non-static content like a web form or something it can add a lot of complexity to your whole setup.

Essentially you need a load balancer hosted somewhere that the traffic hits before getting routed to one of the 2 servers. That could be a VPS running Traefik if you prefer that.

Alternatively you could both run something like IPFS and run the static site on that, but anyone accessing the site would either need IPFS installed, or use a gateway hosted somewhere (Cloudflare has a public for example).

Sounds like you need to set up the Jellyfin server as a windows service so it starts without logging in. I'm surprised it doesn't do this automatically as part of the installer setup.

Alternatively you can just set up auto-login for your windows user account, but that gives you no security from local access.

It's kind of depressing how fragmented the Matrix ecosystem is, a bunch of clients but none seem to support everything together, servers that are slow and bloated, and don't support super basic maintenance tasks like cleaning up old stuff, etc..

Can't wait for the onlyfans accounts that spam the same vanilla nsfw image into 50 different communities at once. /s

Something else is going on with your setup, I block graph.facebook.com via DNS too and Ally works fine, both app and browser.

Your screenshot looks like you're also blocking ntp.org which could definitely screw with a banking app, and launchdarkly.com may also be the problem if they're loading assets from that service.

ispot.tv is on one of my DNS blacklists, it seems to be an advertising service?

Many VPNs have built in traffic filtering that does block common malware, phishing, and tracking domains/IPs.

Their advertising claims still do get a bit ridiculous though.

With federation between different Matrix servers, what’s the holdup? Why aren’t people leaving Discord?

Poor usability, confusing to get started on, your instance may just vanish at some point, annoying encryption system you have to verify new devices on, feels slow on both browser and in app, lack of features (ie; no low latency game streaming, rich presence, easily joinable voice rooms).

It also shares the same issue as Mastodon, where if your instance vanishes you can't just log in with your account on another one and have everything ready to go, because the account is tied specifically to that original instance.

Overall as a fairly techy type user I still find Matrix, Mastodon, Lemmy, etc all pretty frustrating to use.

A lot of live images will run entirely from RAM, flash drives are typically quit slow so it makes the experience much nicer.

It just works and it's in every distros default repo, it's pretty easy to set up and can be a webserver for static files, PHP sites, etc.. It can be a reverse proxy for HTTP(s) traffic or just forward TCP/UDP.

There's also endless documentation out there for how to do something in nginx.

HAProxy is a nightmare to use in my experience. It just feels so clunky and old.

Caddy is nice, but downloading and updating it is a pain because you need modules that aren't included in the repo version.

Wait, isn't a lower frame time better? Why does their screenshot show windows having the lowest and say that it scored last?

Looking at the source article, windows did have generally better 1% lows except for Starfield, so I think this article has it backwards. They also cherry picked 2 results where windows was worse lol.

I'm all for pro-linux stuff but articles like this just reek of making shit up so it looks better.

Self hosting personal photos doesn't generally require opening anything up to the internet, so most backdoors would not be accessible by anyone but you.

IMO GUIs are always faster when it's something you've never used before, or use very infrequently.

CLI is better if you're used to the task you're doing, or automating things. But for infrequent tasks looking up the commands (or looking at old notes to find it) is very slow and rather annoying.

One reason may be that they're not actually off when the ignition is off, they're just asleep like your phone is when the screen is off but it's still powered on.

It's sounds like it could be an IO wait issue, system load will climb a ton without showing much CPU usage.

Make sure you're not running out of RAM and going into swap space, it doesn't sound like it though.

iotop might show something useful. And in htop you can add the 'PERCENT_IO_DELAY" column which can be useful.

I feel like that's gotta be pretty normal for hyped up product launches, a lot of people just join to see what it is at first.

I'm not picking up any new Google products, they kill everything off so often.

Syncthing keeps folders in sync between multiple devices, it doesn't have any concept of users since it's not designed for that.

You want Nextcloud or similar 'google drive' replacement if you want to share individual files and folders with specific users easily.

They're also useful because they're easy to deploy, contain all the dependencies needed, portable, and isolate things breaking from affecting the host or other containers.

I imagine the overlap of people who use Snapchat and people who use Firefox is pretty small, they probably see such a small amount of users with Firefox and they just decided not to support it.

A Pi 5 8GB is very expensive once you buy the power supply, case, cooling, adapters, etc.. And you're stuck with ARM64 stuff which doesn't support some things.

Personally in your shoes I would spend $80 or so on a USFF PC with an 8th or 9th gen Intel CPU off ebay.

For some reason windows will update their own app from their own app store, and then immediately apply another update when you open the app.

Their whole system is so hacked together.

Once it’s installed in the terminal, how the hell do I find docker so I can start playing with it?

Type docker in the terminal, it's a CLI application.

But it sounds like you might want to install Docker Desktop, which does give you a GUI to use.

No need, vectors can be scaled already without quality loss.

I'm always conflicted on this kind of thing, because for every person annoyed that it's asking there's a bunch that are complaining that they lost all their photos because their phone was stolen or something like that, and had no idea that they need to backup their stuff.

For some reason devs can't wrap their head around cache being temporary.

I wish the invalid SSL cert warning and the password field on HTTP warning could be permanently disabled for all private IP ranges. They are incredibly annoying.

Proprietary products just use a simple app to manage and control devices

They have a dedicated set of servers your devices and app are connecting to, that's what home assistant is essentially replacing.

It's not just app > device, it's app > server > device.

Proxmox (debian) on the hosts, and Debian for all the VMs and Containers.

Just nice and easy to use, supported by basically everything, and a minimal install uses like 30MB of RAM.

I also have an OSX VM because that's literally the only way you can test a website in Safari (fu Apple).

In a classic server-client situation, your clients should have AllowedIPs set to 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0 in their repecive configuration file.

Only if you want the VPN to be your default route! Many may not want this.

Looks like stuff put in place by the VPS provider that would run on the first startup to create a swap partition and resize the main partition.

Brave isn't doing much better with captchas lately due to having adblocking built in, google is just on a crusade against anyone blocking stuff.

Have you tried bookmarking things instead of leaving them open as tabs?

I would say that's not pirating from an ethical perspective. If it's actually legal with current laws may be another story.

My viewpoint is I've paid for the right to play the game, where I get it from doesn't matter.

That's why it would be nice if there was just a "go away and stop showing helpful tips" button when you first start up a fresh browser install.

I'm just impressed an SD card in a Pi lasted since 2017 without losing all your data on its own.

For the future the general guideline is 3 copies of your data at minimum, so definitely set up some backups.

I imagine trustpilot is where people go to vent about bad service because it'll come up when you search for cloudflare reviews.

OS makes no difference.
