Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.
Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.
Virtualtabletop can be selfhosted.
We use it to play Blokus, Rummikub and more with family all over the country. All a player needs, is a device with a browser, and a link to join a given table. Grandma uses an android tablet to play Rummikub with us.
The games already implemented are many, and you can contribute your own.
This particular thing IS a common-sense technicality. Without it, every new instance, the second it came online, would start to try and mirror THE ENTIRE FEDIVERSE.
The ideal would be some kind of in-between, but that’s a lot more complex, and involves the developers making decisions for you in terms of what to pull in and what not to.
It’s not just getting your communities seen.
Content from other instances for you and your users won’t show up in the all feed unless someone on your instance (or a bot) subs to the relevant communities.
Only off-instance communities with at least one local subscriber will federate.
You also wont immediately see new instances and their communities, and they won’t see you.
Heck yeah!
I’m gonna make a couple celebratory posts on [email protected].
Also, a tip on quickly getting up to speed with federation, is to get your instance and communities set up on lemmy-federate.com.
Since content only shows up for users on instances with subscribers, the idea is to use a bot account on each participating instance to have that one required subscriber, so that posts from new communities actually show up on other instances, rather than just the originating one.
It basically allows you to kick-start federation, actually allowing users to organically discover your instance and communities.
edit: There is an active Balatro community at [email protected].
If you have access to another device, you can log into icloud.com and remotely log out of the phone.
Files “deleted” from icloud can also be restored on icloud.com/recovery for up to 30 days after deletion.
Yes. But you don’t have to switch.
People say “start” with simpler distros because if you go past just using it as-is, and grow to understand linux closer to the system level, you’ll likely eventually end up preferring something more complex.
There’s little point to starting at the deep end, like arch, since you don’t know whether you’ll end up staying in the shallows yet. Either way, it’s the start. It can also be the end, but that is unknowable.
Sorry, I must’ve misremembered about systemd. It’s how my installs start up, and the unit file is not in the usual location for systemd units I’ve created myself, so my assumption was it came with Kopia. There is no systemd timer though, and one isn’t needed.
Edit: Just confirmed no systemd file came with kopia on my system either, my mistake.
in the past week, it did not backup anything. Hence, there is no scheduler built into kopia automagically as described/ hinted in the docs.
Was Kopia running during that time?
If you run a Kopia command, then it will perform the instructed task, and then exit. It will obviously not do anything after completing whatever command was given, as the process will have exited, leaving no kopia process running on the system. This is for when you use it in cron or your own scripts.
The other way of doing things is to run it in server mode kopia server start, which will set it running as a background daemon. When running, it allows you to log into the web interface or configure it via cli to do whatever you like. And as long as the process starts along with the host system, that’s all there is to it.
How the daemon is set up to start, doesn’t really matter.
Nah.
Just do what Valve did with Wine.
Officially fork and contribute to Heroic.
My current setup, is as follows:
Personally curated music I buy and organize using Picard into folder A.
Lidarr is configured with folder C, which is a mergerfs volume consisting of folder A and B. Folder A is read-only, and any writes on C go into folder B. This way Lidarr can “see” all my existing music, while any automated downloads go into folder B, keeping them separate from my organized files.
Lidarr actually works, because it is hooked up to Soulseek using Tubifarry with ytdl as a fallback. I also have an import list hooked up to my last.fm recommendations to automatically download new stuff I might like.
When I feel like it, I go through folder B using Picard, moving things I want to keep into folder A.
To access my music, I use Jellyfin, also through folder C. My clients are Feishin and Symfonium.
In Symfonium, I use smart playlists for discovery. These playlists populate based on stuff like “unlistened tracks” or “multiple plays without being favorited” and “recently added from favorited artists”.
My favorite feature however is the tag-based endless playback which allows me to pick a track to start with, and then swipe through music with at least some kind of logic to the progression. This is my main way to browse my library.
It works extremely well, with the exception of files that don’t contain many tags. Hence my main pursuit has been to find a good way too add at least some genre tags to ALL my files. I haven’t found a final solution.
For iOS support, look at Navidrome for the server and maybe SubStreamer for the client.
I’m antitheist, personally.
We have the power of god and anime on our side.
How did you install kopia? What system are you on?
I’m not yet sure about that
It needs to be running, if it is, it will follow the policy. Systemd can start it with the system, but you can also start it some other way. Or you can execute snapshots without it constantly running, via cron/script. It’s up to you.
Abrubt power off shouldn’t damage the drives, but it can absolutely corrupt files that are being written, and even entirely delete things in the write cache.
Depends. If you are running it as a service that starts with the system (sudo sysemctl enable kopia should work with most install methods, as kopia comes with a systemd service you only need to enable) then yes, it will use its own scheduler.
If you want to use your own scheduling, you’d use anything that can execute a command on a schedule.
The main advantages of Kopia, are speed and destination flexibility.
The off-site storage does not need to have Kopia installed. It can be a mounted network location, an FTP server. Whatever. A generic cloud storage bucket like Backblaze B2.
That’s why just a router with and external drive hooked up is able to suffice.
For all of these, you can connect multiple Kopia instances to that same destination, and each client can browse backups, restore from them, and backup their own files to the destination. It even performs file deduplication across different source device. All while that destination device or service, has no access to your encrypted files.
With borg, you need something like a Pi that can have borg installed. (You can also do this with Kopia, in which case the Kopia instance on the destination device is also able to manage the backups).
Kopia also beats borg and restic in speed. My daily backups typically complete within a minute or two. I used to use Duplicati, with which it was common for it to take up to an hour. When it started regularly taking more than an hour, I switched to Kopia.
Kopia is not the fastest for initial backup. The speed of this varies depending on destination type. It does not compress by default, but you can enable almost any type of compression you want. No, what it is fastest at is updating backups. If there is nothing to update, it does not take forever for it to figure that out. Kopia does it in seconds.
Really common, actually. RAM doesn’t really wear out, so if you do get hit with some faulty DIMMS, look into RMAs.
Neat! That was a dealbreaker back when I last tried it.
I use Jellyfin with the Symfonium mobile client.
Navidrome is popular but does not support multi-tags for some fields, like artists.
Yes there are.
If you used rufus or ventoy, you’ve just applied them without knowing.
Unmodified Windows 11 ISOs will refuse to install on any hardware with a CPU older than Ryzen 3000 or Intel 8000.
What?
On the vast majority of systems, the vast majority of linux distros will install and run with zero “hacks” of any kind. Literally just boot the ISO as-is and have at it.
No. On many machines, while windows will install just fine due to the modifications to the installer applied by rufus/ventoy, the yearly major version updates can fail catastrophically.
A lot of hardware will update without issue, but there ABSOLUTELY is risk.
You are confusing functional, and supported.
Something can “technically still work” without being officially supported.
Not being supported means Microsoft can make breaking changes in updates, because they made no promises your hardware would be accounted for in the future.
Just because it works today, no longer means it will tomorrow.
