Mama told me not to come.
She said, that ain’t the way to have fun.

Grayjay on my Android phone. I like that it supports a lot of different services, and I have subs on Odysee, Rumble, and Nebula (I pay for a sub there). I sometimes download videos for offline use if I’m going to listen on my commute or something (no point in using up data if I don’t need to).
On my desktop/laptop, I just use YouTube directly w/ uBlock Origin on Firefox (to block ads) without logging in. I don’t watch much YouTube on my desktop/laptop, and when I do, I’ll just look for a specific video or whatever.
I also have NewPipe installed on my phone for when I want to find something specific (i.e. background music or something), because Grayjay’s search kind of sucks.
I liked FreeDNS when I used them, but that was something like 10 years ago. Could be worth looking into.
I’d look into Hetzner, their pricing is pretty fair and they have some nifty features.
Also check out Vultr, they have block storage and some interesting addons.
That’s where I’d start, but I haven’t needed to host anything like Lemmy.
Here are two somewhat reasonable routers that support 10G (via 2 SFP+ ports):
Both have max power draw under 50W, though I don’t know what they’d actually draw (would depend on how much traffic and whatnot).
And here’s a switch with 2 SFP+ ports with max draw of 11W: https://mikrotik.com/product/css610_8g_2s_in.
I only have a GPU because my CPU doesn’t have any graphics. I don’t use the graphics anyway, but I need it to boot. So I put our crappiest spare GPU in (GTX 750 Ti) and call it good.
I wouldn’t bother. If you end up needing it, it’ll take like 15 min to get it installed and drivers set up and everything. No need to bother until you actually need it.
Ooh, sounds quite practical. Would work even better with a cow, and you’ll get milk out of the deal too!
Hmm, is that waddling or flying power? Swimming?
Also, the only reason for the 3 horsepower is so the others can rest, so we’d probably need far fewer than 393.6 ducks, I think we could get away with <100, provided we can manage their sleep cycles properly.
Switches and routers are pretty low-power, so we could probably get away with some form of body heat -> electricity thing. Or a battery and put the horse on a treadmill every so often.
Eh, I’d much rather have a dev-defined SemVer that’s sometimes inaccurate than something that just arbitrarily increases every release. The first provides some information, the second doesn’t.
If Chrome is at v162 and you’re at v3, people perceive the version numbers to reflect the quality and development.
I don’t think it is the case. Ask some random person what version their browser is and they probably won’t even know how to check.
It doesn’t matter for the vast majority of people, the only people who care are power users. And what do power users appreciate? Clear communication. If there’s a major UI change or something, bump the major version. If there’s a new feature, bump the minor version. If it’s just bug fixes, bump the patch version. Or even simpler, since Firefox has the ESR build, bump the major version whenever an ESR build is cut, bump the minor version every regular release (4 weeks?), and bump the patch version every patch release like we do now. That way I know how much the ESR build has deviated from the regular build, which is valuable information (just look at the minor version for the latest Firefox).
How you manage versions doesn’t matter to the vast majority of people, so it should be tuned for the minority who actually kind of care, so make it mean something. A year would be fine and useful, a number that increases w/ the ESR refresh would be useful, an ever-increasing number isn’t useful. Pick one of the useful options…
Eh, my Ubiquiti AP works pretty well, though it’s a bit annoying setting up the server software. I get way better range with it than I ever got with my previous routers, and I never have to reboot it (my Mikrotik router needs to be rebooted more often, and that’s rock solid as well).
I honestly haven’t had any issues, but I have a very simple setup:
That’s it. No mesh, just a single AP and a single router. It works well, and I largely forget about it because it just works.
That said, I’m considering upgrading to a newer wi-fi standard, so I’ll be doing some research again. Ubiquiti was the best at the time, but I don’t have any particular brand loyalty, so I’ll get whatever seems to work well and is a reasonable price. I will probably keep this AP and add a second, so that’ll factor in as well (i.e. can I have two APs serving the same SSIDs? If so, how do I get them to work seamlessly?).
I use Linux full time and I tried using my desktop as my NAS, and even then it was annoying.
Just get a second device to use as a NAS if you actually need one, or if it’s just you, share files on a separate drive/partition between Windows and Linux. It’s not worth getting fancy with one device.
Your photo and docs
At least in my case, it’s really handy to share photos with other family members. But certainly you don’t need all of them available on the same public service.
Is a vpn always safer then a reverse proxy?
Depends on what you trust, I guess.
A reverse proxy on a standard cert is a bigger target for automated scripts than a reverse proxy on a non-standard port. A VPN runs through the VPN’s authentication, whereas a reverse proxy relies on whatever that app’s authentication is. So whether it’s secure enough depends on the VPN configuration, what you’re hosting, etc.
I’m behind CGNAT, so I have limitations you don’t, but here’s my setup:
I like this approach because I can eat my cake (nice domain names instead of IPs and ports) and have it too (fast connection inside LAN, can disable reverse proxy if I want better security). You could get the same w/o the VPS, and if you require WireGuard VPN access outside the LAN, you get better security than a public-facing service.
Yeah, if it’s unlockable in a reasonable amount of time (say, 5-10 hours per hero), then it’s basically the same as those stupid F2P mobile games where you can pay to “speed up time” or whatever. Or if there’s a rapid churn where you lose access to heroes after some amount of time (i.e. even if you pay, they’d disappear).
But if you can grind for a few hours to get the hero you want, then yeah, not P2W.
It’s not P2W though, right? I thought they only sell cosmetics w/o competitive advantage (outside a mistake here and there), everything that actually impacts competitiveness is provided equally to everyone.
If that’s not the case, could you link something that indicates that?
This sounds likely. Unfortunately, when the problem doesn’t go away a few months from now, it’s not like they’ll reenable Linux support…
How well does that work though? My understanding is that there are still quite a few caveats, but it’s been a while since I actually looked into it.
It’s really not. Windows XP had its source leaked, it’s not source available. Grayjay is source available, so I can see every new commit before it hits my phone. That’s a pretty big difference, and it’s the most important when it comes to public security audits.
