I use my laptop for anything that requires a real keyboard or bigger screen. Then I have my server, and my phone. So I mostly just use the laptop and the phone. I do have a dual screen phone though so that helps a bunch for multitasking.

A simple yet loaded question. Overall I think I am. I spend a lot of time working and commuting but I’m in the growing years of my career and working hard to prove myself. The late night work is usually things I enjoy doing but don’t have time for during the day and I’d otherwise be sitting in front the TV so I might as well make money.

I make time for family as well. For example leaving early for date night every now and then, taking days off for family events, going on family vacations. It’s important to have balance.

If I were to pick an area of my life that I’m unhappy with, it would be friendships and hobbies but I think most of that is due to undiagnosed mental issues. I don’t make connections easily so friends have always been hard. I have one good friend that I’ve known for almost my whole life, every one else is an acquaintance. The only hobby I have is the same thing I do for work. I don’t really enjoy or get excited about anything else.

Monday: Get kids ready for school and drop them off. Travel 45-60 minutes to work, work 9+ hours and travel back. Eat dinner and help clean up (wife cooked after she got home from work). Get kids ready for bed. Work another 3-4 hours. Sleep.

T-W: Leave for work an hour early. Work 9+ hours. Get home and help make dinner for the family if not yet made, help clean up, get kids ready for bed, work another 3-4 hours, sleep.

Thursday: Get kids ready and drop them off at school. Work from home for the day. Help make dinner. Help clean up. Get kids ready for bed. Work some more, sleep.

Friday: Get kids ready and drop them off. Travel to work and work 9+ hours. Travel home. Either get ready to go out with the wife or, if we’re staying in eat dinner and help clean up. If staying in, spend some time with the fam before sleep.

Saturday: Both wife and I are off work so we run errands, take the kids to do something fun, visit family, home projects, etc… Saturdays are busy.

Sunday: Wife is working, spend most of the day working on home projects (yard work, laundry, cleaning). Make dinner, get kids ready for bed, sleep.

Do it all over again.

Wife works in retail so does a lot of shopping for household needs and groceries throughout the week. She also cleans the house and works on home projects on her days off if she’s not running errands.

I worked with a debt collection agency from an IT perspective and dealt with what I believe to be the same company. It is an industry that I never want to support again if I can avoid it. I met some good people but it’s just an unhealthy work environment overall.

The usual go to for self hosted password managers is VaultWarden. There’s no deb or rpm package but you can get it spun up with docker pretty easily. Any reason you’re specifically looking for “included” or packaged solutions? That’s going to severely limit your options.

I feel like the average person doesn’t need a computer most of the time. Anyone who’s a “power user”, for lack of a better term, probably does. I run a VM with a desktop OS on my Proxmox setup that I remote into from my phone for things that I require a full OS for but don’t want to break out my laptop. I often find myself remoting into it from my laptop anyway just for continuity.

This is the way. I’m routed through cloudflare with private registration as well. The exposed IPs belong to Cloudflare and only they and I know where it goes after that.

Ah ok. So the only thing left behind really is your name which again I suppose could cause problems out in the ActivityPub world but that’s way too deep into the development of Lemmy for me so I’m only speculating. Basically my random theory is if @[email protected] is somehow tied to a particular instance ID and now that instance ID is different, I’m not sure how ActivityPub handles that or if that even matters.

Did you purge your database when you destroyed the old instance? I’m not sure how Lemmy handles instances and databases under the hood but I suppose a database from a different instance might cause problems.

Seeing you on my personal instance as well.

My list:

• Home assistant
• Jellyfin
• Lemmy
• Lidarr
• Pihole
• Prowlarr
• Radarr
• Readarr
• Sonarr
• Tdarr
• UniFi Controller
• Windows VMs for domain, and clustered file storage.
• Zoneminder

Not OP but yes. You configure your desired output format as well as a number of other options like stripping subtitles etc… and just let it rip. It’s saved me terabytes of space with my collection.
