My Self Hosting Journey

  • Been running one from Radxa for a while. Just make sure to check the power requirements of your drives.

    • My Self Hosting Journey

  • The HAT-ability of RPi makes them enough for me. You can add sata ports, PCIe, and more with a simple HAT.

    • Google's Web DRM is Worse than I Thought...

  • Doesn't make them less clever.

    • Google's Web DRM is Worse than I Thought...

  • I feel it's worse than this. Imagine being the brightest mind in college, have a ton of experience, just to invent new algorithms to get people to click on more ads.

    • Ad blocking on android

  • I've been using NextDNS for a while now. It's great compared to VPN implementations like Blokada because it frees up your phone to use an actual VPN.

    I've found PDNSQS for when I need to temporarily disable ad blocking, a really nice addition.

    • Sync for Lemmy is now available for everyone

  • Free as in freedom. Not free beer.

    • Until there's a community for Enterprise Networking you have to suffer my meme.

  • You gotta admit, it's fun to meme the opposite camp. Whether you are a GUI or CLI person.

    • Lemmy.world Hexbear Statement

  • What is it with Lemmy and far-[left | right] politics...

    • What are the main challenges in Linux adoption for New users, and how can it be addressed?

  • Things break in weird ways on Linux due to dependencies. Snap/Flatpak/AppImage has yet to show if it's enough to fix the issue.

    • Top Extensions to Make YouTube Bearable

  • They gathered as much data they could on dislikes before it was removed, so it also shows actual numbers on older videos.

    • LG to offer subscriptions for already purchased appliances and televisions, evolving into a provider for “Home as a Service”

  • Curious, what's wrong with Spotify?

    • What operating system do you use on your main computer?

  • I've been in the same boat, and ended up installing a lot of utils just to keep my sanity. I used this guy as a primary resource: https://youtu.be/cfsNO14hikA

    • Denuvo wants to convince you its DRM isn’t “evil”

  • Where I'm from, it's legal to download cracked games so long as you've bought it legitimately. Paying for games isn't a problem, it's treating everyone as suspects that bugs me.

    • Question: People who still frequent Reddit, has it gone back to business as usual or are the protests still having effect?

  • I feel like this has been happening for a few years. Maybe it's age, but I increasingly find better tech related content on HN.

    • Setting up selfhosting without a terminal

  • It's also part of what I want to avoid with something GUI-based/low maintenance.

    Setting up selfhosting without a terminal

    Every single time I talk to my friends, whom also want an *arr/Plex/VPN/Home Assistant setup like I've got, I can see the fear in their eyes when I mention Debian, Docker, and the terminal. It could be a case of "git gud", but I want to help them out with a setup like this, but with as low friction as possible. Ideally something completely GUI based, and very low maintenance.

    I know of unRAID, and Portainer, but does anyone have any experience in setting up something like this for people whose knowledge of self hosting and networking aren't as good as yours?
