Oh and the lack of more hobby-oriented communities is a major short-coming, and probably why Reddit still maintains a large userbase. Self-hosted and the radio instance are great examples, and more communities around those topics can bring folks over here.

Hobby communities need a community to survive. This is always the same argument against Lemmy. Or most Reddit alternatives. “I’m not going there. Not enough users.” It’s a self fulfilling prophecy.

On my instance nobody younger than the admin is allowed.

Slop coding?

Sure, don’t rush into things. But when you have a fix that’s just a few lines that’s languishing in your repositories for years something’s up.

I’m not talking specifically about this issue. There are several drivers for the Steam Deck controller and the thermal system that I have to compile myself to be able to properly run a vanilla kernel on my Steam Deck LCD. There has been more than enough time to fix the stuff.

Still glad that it’s open source so that I can just grab everything I need. But it would be nice if I could just forget about it and find all fixes in my kernel half a year or so after they’ve been successfully in production in SteamOS.

What I hate about Valve’s Linux efforts is how slow they are with upstreaming their changes. I think there are still some LCD fixes not in the vanilla kernel.

I’m in a similar situation. Looking for a used car with a big trunk. I hate that none of the used car websites have the trunk size of a car. And they really like to put all the mini cars into the same category as big cars.

Maybe mention the domain and IP in question so that we can help better. Your end goal is to have them publicly accessible anyways.

Thank you, the part about the database is important.

Of course that depends on the apps in question and if you are even able to install additional apps in a managed environment.

But not all apps are so limited. The cookbook app for instance saves all recipes as markdown files you can easily share with others, download or backup.

Managed Nextcloud is definitely easier than hosting it your own. I bet they also have the hardware to guarantee good performance. With any luck Hetzner also offers AI features like face recognition and automated tagging.

But don’t go in there expecting a fully fledged Google Photos alternative. Even when Memories is much better than Nextcloud’s own Photos, it lacks many essential features like easy filtering of your collection. You basically have to sort your photos yourself.

Unless Hetzner offer something on top of Nextcloud file sync is done via Webdav, not sftp or rsync. But basically every OS has Webdav clients.

Calendar and Contacts are also synced via DAV. CalDAV and CardDAV. Works well for me on Android with DAVx⁵.

You probably think that systemd-boot is tied in any way to the rest of systemd. It is not. Systemd-boot is just a very simple EFI boot loader that is hosted by the systemd project. It does not require any part of systemd to work. It has no problems booting a distro without any systemd components.

I just googled something. Don’t remember what I ended up on. Probably some blog post combined with rspamd’s website. It depends on your mailserver anyways.

rspamd is used nowadays. Add sieve filtering to automatically move mails with a 7.0 or higher to a spam-folder. Manually move mails there that haven’t been detected and move mails out of the spam folder that have been falsely detected (personally don’t have any false positives with rspamd).

Then set up bayes learning with rspamd, either when mails are moved between folders or every few hours.

Thanks, setting up the runner and actions works great! Permissions are a bit wonky but not unsolvable.

I use Nextcloud. Of course that only makes sense when you use the other Nextcloud stuff as well.

Huh, TIL.

Honestly, that’s what most web API’s are. You are just pushing data around. The “hard” part is that everyone has their own opinions on how it should be formatted.

And of course the minor inconvenience of having to give the user a way to make data entry easy, convenient and consistent.

But deep down it’s all spreadsheets. The faster you can wrap your head around that the easier programming is for you.

Probably easier to hook those panels up to your balcony. You’d charge at home anyways, right?

Are those 15 km under ideal conditions? With static panels you can control those easier. On the car the panels will usually have the wrong angle. Plus the added weight and wind resistance further decreases the effective range they provide.

I’ve got a really obscure one.

Anyone here heard about FLI4L? Floppy ISDN for Linux? Built from the ground up to be usable on your really old PC as a router. Originally it fit on a single floppy disc and was able to turn a 386 into a modem or ISDN router. Later they added the ability to route between LANs and DSL.

By now the requirements have been raised to super beefy 586 PCs. It probably doesn’t fit on a floppy disc anymore.

Sure, but having /boot on BTRFS won’t save you if the bitrot fucked up your ESP.
