Bitwarden/vaultwarden is a popular option for selfhosters.

Oh! Thanks! I like that link. Definitely researching that more.

Personally, I think IPv6 is not a good choice for any service you don’t want associated with a specific device. As I understand it, the prefix delegation comes from the ISP, but often the interface ID is derived from the machine’s MAC address which is a link to specific machine hardware, can reveal information about the host, and possibly deanonymoized across networks.

I’d stick with IPv4 because NAT gives a tad more anonymity. Just my $0.02 though.

That’s good news! It would be great if relays made it difficult to be targeted. I last tinkered with TOR almost… Jeez!.. 20 years ago haha!

I ran a relay too way, way back in the day and I remember almost a third of the sites I used blacklisted my IP address within days. It wasn’t cool.

I ended up shutting it down, resetting my cable modem, and spoofing a new MAC address on my router to get a new IP address to get everything working again.

Using a VPN is smarter. I wouldn’t run that on IPv6 whatsoever.

Meta sued “to prevent them from advertising CrushAI apps on Meta platforms”

Dude, it’s your platform, Meta. You decide who uses it. If someone is abusing your platform, that’s a you problem. Vette your customers like Apple if need be.

There’s your solution. Reassign a couple content moderators since they’re on the ball. Much easier to review/ban a commercial account than individual posts anyway.

I just did something sort of like what you are doing and after a few hiccups, it’s working great. My Synology just couldn’t handle transcoding with docker containers running in the background.

Couple differences from your plan: I chose a N100 over the N150 because it used less power and I wasn’t loading up CPU dependent tasks on the thing. The N150 is about 30% faster if memory serves, but draws more power. Second, do you really need a second m.2 SSD BTRFS volume? Your Synology is perfectly capable of being the file storage. I’d personally spend the money you’d save buying a smaller N150 device on a tasty drive to expand the existing capacity then start a second pool from scratch.

Finally, I wouldn’t worry about converting media unless you are seriously pinched for space. Every time you do, you lose quality.

Ditto to your comment except power usage. I moved my Plex/Jellyfin (and hopefully Immich soon) docker containers to an N100 for the hardware acceleration. TDP is 6 watts on some of these devices and CPU use sits around 2% unless Plex is doing DB optimizations (about 60% for a bit). I haven’t measured consumption or my older server, but I feel moving some CPU intensive services to hardware GPU is saving a few watts.

This conversation just got Quasimodo-esque for a number of readers real fast.

Totally get it. And if you find a cool solution, let us know.

I’ve been slowly, very slowly, migrating away from Synology stuff, but everything you mentioned are my holdouts because they have been rock solid for decades. Even the cheap used products can swing those apps.

I hate to be the bad influence (no, who am I kidding, not really) and suggest more servers, but if you can find something cheap, I’d maybe give it a try.

Copyright was created to solve a real problem back then and definitely has merit.

However, the behemoth modern copyright has morphed into does need to be put to pasture; it no longer protects, but weponized by gatekeepers.

I’ve started learning the Canadian national anthem.

Take my state, please! 4th largest economy in the world at the moment. Doesn’t that have a nice ring to it?

Your comment made me realize I’m (and I’m sure I’m not alone) sort of the problem with Linux.

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the massive community of tools and programs out there like free open source software. But I’ve never actually bought anything for a Linux system with one exception: Debian in a box, on a CD for like, $15.

Buuuut, I have bought FOSS, games, and utilities for Mac and Windows that started as Linux apps and work on my new system.

I guess there is a mindset of get something free to suffice with Linux systems rather than pay for polished apps, and I totally get that thrill, but is there business to be made in this market, or a sunk cost at the end of the year.

I’d really like to see the app, and it takes bold risks to populate this platform, and there’s certainly pushback, but that’s also what separates Linux from windows. No point in having a machine if there are gaps in workflow or utility.

I tried to update my lemmy instance and it all went so horribly wrong. DB never came up, errors everywhere, searching implied I updated to a dev branch sometime in the past (not a dev, don’t think I did) and it’ll be console and DB queries for a fix.

Ran out of time and overwhelmed, I restored backups and buried my head in the sand. Nope, not now. Future, yes, but oh not now.

Welp, I know what I’m doing Sunday.

Never crossed my mind and sounds amazing. Sorry poor, overworked NAS, you’re hosting another something.

They’ve been locking down the play store, important features, and I suspect revanced had blown a gasket or two in meetings. Time to crack down, DRM up, and enshittify.

Time to break another monopoly.

Same here. I don’t like some of the recent decisions, but I remember the time I looked at the value and thought “yeah, this is working, valuable, and I can get behind it”, and bought the lifetime pass.

And I used the hell out of it! I don’t regret supporting the developers at all.

But features like plugins disappear, rolled to in-house teams. They work better, but cost more to maintain.

It’s ambitious, and gives developers plenty of work, but I feel the new redesign bit more than they can chew and overran budgets. They may be trying to balance budgets.

Jellyfin certainly took off. Great for them. It just wasn’t polished or an option when I set things up way back then.

Same boat here. I chose Plex because the apps were everywhere. Smart TV’s, phones, web…

I can switch, no problem. I don’t want to have to teach my parents a new app. OMFG!
