I’ve got Idrive backups at 5TB for like $5 a month or something.

And they PAID to be there!

Oh that’s dope. How many hours are you running? Do you also use them for things like encoding or something like that?

Sweet!

What’s up is everything I’ve been running and down is what I haven’t.

not working

I haven’t been able to get friendica to connect to Maria DB, so I’ll eventually try just MySql. Grafana isn’t running bc I would need to change a lot of things to get an exporter into each container and the truenas apps don’t really allow that configuration - fine if you have docker compose though, which I’ve started doing more and more.

new

I just got up and running with Stirling pdf, a free (and paid) PDF editor. That looks pretty sweet.

But I’m now also using 15GB of the 32 on the system, which is still plenty for Arc cache for me

what I want

I want to rent a VPS to host various fediverse apps, probably Lemmy, pixelfed, and write freely to start, for the nomad/expect communities. I’ve been looking at netcup and they have some decent arm offerings.

I’d like to put Talos Linux on it so I can get some kubernetes experience. They have a good sized server for €10, so I could expand to add a DB server or one specifically for logging and metrics.

I was looking at Hetzner, but I’ve read that their block storage is super slow and causes timeouts on DB.

Of course, can I even run these apps on arm? I guess I gotta find that out.

One thing I’d like to do is make a web page that makes signups super easy and would create an account on all services, ideally. Not a huge deal of that isn’t reasonable, but it’d be nice to allow doing it once rather than multiple times. If I could get sso, that’d be good, but I don’t know how supported that is.

I’m actually watching a video about that, complete with studies and everything.

How does your skin do in the sun?

you’d probably be better off setting up your own domain server and trying to get that working

Have times changed? Yes. Do you need to approach women? Yes. Don’t hide behind a screen. Get out there and talk with women.

Talking with people is not disrespectful. God, what a sad society is that?

There’s a saying that goes something like, “Enlarge your territory, linger in public, walk through open doors.” That’s a good start. Get out of the house and linger in public places. Strike up conversations and be a social animal. Talk with everyone: men, women, young, old - get that practice in. If you talk with everyone, then you’re not putting as much pressure on yourself. Don’t get attached to an outcome, but challenge yourself to talk to people.

I think you’re making excuses. I strike conversations with strangers all the time, including women. I go dancing for swing, salsa, bachata. You wanna see something that challenges your beliefs on interactions between men and women? Go watch Bachata.

But anyway. Social skills are a skill and they need to be worked. Put yourself out there and get rejected. (You’ll learn it’s not so bad).

Removed by mod

That’s technically a subdomain and the same reason email went with @

That’s TrueNas. It can run docker compose files so I’m abusing the crap out of what it’s supposed to do haha.

Yeah, just me and my family for now. I have gotten a lot of knowledge setting stuff up and hope to eventually get some VPSs set up for some public Lemmy, pixelfed, and maybe mastodon instances for digital nomads and expats.

Eh, it’s a document viewer. I figured they’re referring to Plex and jellyfin when they say media.

Indexes and pagination would be good starts

All these. I just added calibre web and may phase out Kavita.

Elena Rossini (@_elena@mastodon.social) is a journalist who’s gotten into the fediverse and self hosting with Yuno Host. She’s documented it on her blog. It’s worked out really well for her.

Hardcore history is one of my favorites.

The Blow back Podcast is a great one that goes into detail of the US doing fucked up evil shit around the world. Each season is a different country and they have Afghanistan, Cuba, North Korea, and Iraq.

yeah, you bring up a lot of good points there.

I was thinking there’d have to be different levels of the process, such as “submitted, reviewed, published” as well as “in the general repository” and “by this organization”. The discoverability would still be hard due to the nature of federation.

This is super cool! You really get a lot just by making a FE for the lemmy API. Good work! 👍
