Take the ZFS plunge - My only real concern is the overhead

you shouldn’t worry about ZFS overhead if you are planning to use mergerfs.

you can tune the memory usage of ZFS significantly. by default it targets using half of your RAM, but on a home setup that’s wasting resources, you should be able to limit the arc cache to 1-2 GB, maybe somewhat more depending on how you want to use it. It’s done with sysctl or kernel parameters.

And the issues are locked so if something nefarious happens, discussion will only occur somewhere else instead of the repo

people shouldn’t count on that anyways because the repo owner can delete issues, comments, also edit them

and the code must be a replicable build by F-Droid’s internal apk signature copying process

that’s not a requirement. or was it already being built reproducibly?

it means android api changes, google play restrictions and removals

its funny how the up and down votes are almost in sync for all comments.

let me clarify for everyone: email is not needed for a selfhosted setup, and shouldn’t be. I am in doubt that the majority of selfhosters run mail servers.

Tailscale is wireguard with automatic configuration. OPs problem will remain: it needs an app

set up a tailscale client on their networks, and set up a reverse proxy on it for your services. then you can just point these tvs to the local proxy

AI music is a way to generate propaganda and spread manipulative messages for the masses in a way they won’t even notice. This way they don’t need to find the talent who are willing to make it, but also they can churn out songs faster. They just prompt the AI with some mean wishes and the recipe for a song people have formerly enjoyed, and the next “top hits” fall out. even if people are not looking for that shit, spotify’s next song algorithm will helpfully boost them for some reason.

I don’t use spotify but I wonder how many plays were because the next song algorithm “decided” that these songs will now be heard by everyone.

it sounds fun but

And since this is being done to one business at a time,

how can people coordinate that?

corrupt files will have glitches in the best case, but more likely have noticeable decoding errors, and completely unplayable files in the worst case (some parts of a video file are essential for processing the rest). that could also happen if the file system metadata gets corrupted, and the OS cannot piece together the file extents or the whole directory anymore.

modern data storage relies on reliable storage medium. to protect yourself against bit rot the only thing you can do is to keep backups on different storage devices. but what does it worth if you don’t notice (in time) there’s corruption. you need some way to detect it. a catalogue of some sort, like a checksum file for a whole directory tree, automatically extended with new files, ran in checking mode on schedule, and notifeably notifying you about issues. it can be a custom made solution for traditional file systems like ext4, ntfs, xfs, the FATs, etc, or a filesystem that has that function built-in like zfs or btrfs. the latter two don’t implement the notification and the schedule part, but they do the majority of the work. also if you want to notice not just corruption but erroneous deletion or modification too, you should also use their snapshot functionality. you can diff them to see if there’s any unexpected changes.

well, to some people. but if you think about it this way: it’s an entertainment website with no useful content, then I can agree with it

if I had to guess? 200 miles, at least (CBP range in USA from borders*)

I think it wouldn’t be a good idea to go back to china

It’s not a divorce if one of the parties just dies

you start with authenticated things, like forgejo and such, and always double check that anonymous visitors don’t see any data.

but generally it’s also not wise to just expose most services to the internet. jellyfin for example had lots of leaks because lots of API functionality was accessible without authentication. I don’t know if it’s been fully fixed.
expose a wireguard, it is safe, it is security software, and access everything else through it. you can keep using your domain for internal services.

with copyparty there’s an added risk. if police finds you hosted child porn, they won’t care if it wasn’t you who uploaded it. someone reports it to them, they steal all your computers, worst case you can even end up in jail.

weird, I thought its in the default selection. did you maybe register with a different language (I don’t know if possible)

yeah tick in both english and undefined (or how it’s called), maybe others too

I don’t think it was a demand but you do you
