Imo that’s perfectly fine and not idiotic if you have a static IP, no ISP blocked ports / don’t care about using alt ports, and don’t mind people who find your domain knowing your IP.

I did basically that when I had a fiber line but then I added a local haproxy in front to handle additional subdomains. I feel like people gravitate towards recommending that because it works regardless of the answers to the other questions, even their security tolerance if recommending access only over VPN.

I have CGNAT now so reverse proxy in the cloud is my only option, but at least I’m free to reconfigure my LAN or uproot everything and plant it on any other LAN and it’ll all be fine.

This is 99% my setup, just with a traefik container attached to my wifeguard container.

Can recommend especially because I can move apartments any time, not care about CGNAT (my current situation which I predicted would be the case), and easily switch to any backup by sticking my boxes on any network with DHCP that can reach the Internet (like a 4G hotspot or a nanobeam pointed at a public wifi down the road) in a pinch without reconfiguring anything.

Is there any way to connect the bsky android app to the atproto.africa relay or a third party appview that uses the atproto.africa relay? I wouldn’t mind using bsky more if there was a clone of the android app that doesn’t use the bsky relay/appview. Looking at whtwnd it appears to be just web and not native apps?

I would like to host my own PDS and access bsky through a native app using third party relay+appview, but I haven’t seen a way to do this yet.

Right, but this does have communities - they’re just called workspaces. The screenshot literally shows the equivalent to a Discord “server”. You’re getting confused by the correct usage of the term servers because this project doesn’t have backend servers

I’ve been pretty happy with rsync.net, with the promo rate I’m on I get 1.6TB for $10/mo. More than enough for backing up my most important files, private keys, camera roll, anything irreplaceable.

The rest of my NAS is 50TB of movies and shows so I’ve just resigned myself to the fact that it will never be affordable to backup more than my user folder.

It’s worth noting that Discord misuses the term “server” to mean a community. When you create a Discord “server”, they aren’t booting up a machine just for you. So the lack of servers in this project has nothing to do with the ability to create groups of channels with shared moderators that represents a community.

No problems playing the Ethel or megusta releases here. Were you able to play the files initially? They might just be corrupted. Which release group did you grab?

Sure here’s one I found of a Mastodon user making a post in a Lemmy community, they also comment so you can see how that looks as well:

https://feddit.org/post/12492506

Conveniently the post is about how interoperability between Lemmy / mastodon works haha

So if I post a meme to c/tenforward, people on mastodon and pixelfed can see it if they subscribe to @tenforward, is that correct?

Yep! I’m not sure how it works for pixelfed but I think I remember something about text posts so I would assume it works the same there.

Afaik the way to tell if a user is on Mastodon vs Lemmy/mbin/etc is if the instance part of their username is a path instead of a bare domain, it’s something like user@instance.com/users or something that includes “user” in the path, I can’t remember exactly and I can’t find an example but if you look at usernames enough you’ll find one.

Edit: Actually maybe that changed because I found a comment from Mastodon and it looks normal just with a domain that you can see is a mastodon instance when you visit it, so idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit 2: I double checked in the sync app and it looks like users from mastodon show up as someone@instance.com/users/someone so it looks like it’s a UI specific thing

It all just depends on whether it makes sense or not, and also whether the developers of each software coordinated to make it translate.

Like you point out, text posts don’t exist on a video platform (at least if you’re not counting youtube community posts), so peertube devs didn’t write any code to receive or display them.

How you get stuff to show up also depends on the platform, but I believe most will do it if you search the account handle of the account on the other service - so you can follow a peertube account from mastodon by searching @account@example.com and then it starts showing newly posted videos in your feed.

Since all the translations are decided by the devs of each software, some of it is a little funky - like IIRC lemmy communities are displayed in Mastodon as an account that you can follow, and each post to the community is a post on that account (or maybe it’s boosted by that account, I can’t remember), so if you follow the “community account” from Mastodon, you will start seeing new posts in your Mastodon feed, and can reply to the comments by replying to the post. You can also post to the community from Mastodon by mentioning the community at the beginning of a Mastodon post, and I think it will boost it.

It’s kinda weird IMO - I get the feeling a lot of posts from Mastodon in Lemmy communities might be made by accident because it often looks like the Mastodon user was just trying to tag an organization (like tagging @Plex or @Netflix to complain about their software or something) and then saw the account suggestion from Lemmy and didn’t realize they would be posting to a community instead of tagging an individual.

You can actually, that’s what the AUR votes are for:

All packages are eligible for adoption by a Package Maintainer for inclusion in the extra repository, and the vote count is one of the considerations in that process; it is in everyone’s interest to vote!

Immich is pretty good for this if you take pictures at each location. It has a global map that shows all your photos with a heatmap-style display and a drawer that shows a grid of the photos within your viewport as you can and zoom around. It doesn’t seem like you can view a specific album on the map currently but you can at least filter the map to favorites or a date range.

I think you can use Immich external libraries for this, also to be extra safe you can just mount your external images folder as read only by adding :ro to the docker volume mount so that the container won’t be able to modify anything as a precaution.

I use a .dev and it just works with letsencrypt. I don’t do anything special with wildcards, I just let traefik request a cert for every subdomain I use and it works. I use the tls challenge which works on port 443, so I don’t think HSTS or port 80 matters, but I still forwarded port 80 it so I can serve an http->https redirect since stuff like curl and probably other tools might not know about HSTS.

Gotcha thanks for the info! It looks like I would be fine with ocis or opencloud, but since my main use case and pain points are with document editing which is collabora, it probably wouldn’t change much besides simplifying the docker setup (I had to make a gross pile of nginx config stuff pieced together from many forum help posts to get the nextcloud fpm container to work smoothly). But it already works so unless it breaks there’s little incentive for me to change.

Ah I see, I guess at least that would help with the main UI, but I’m already using collabora through the collabora code server in next cloud so it sounds like I’ll probably have the same document editing experience with OCIS/opencloud. I used to use onlyoffice but after I tried out their mobile app, it started blocking me from editing documents using the next cloud app (which seemed to use the only office web UI) so I was forced to switch unless I started paying for onlyoffice.

What are the apps that you would miss? I basically only use my NC as a Google drive and docs replacement, so all it has to do is store docx files and let me edit them on desktop or mobile without being glitchy and I’ve really wanted to consider OCIS or similar.

That second requirement for me seems hard because of how complex office suites are, but NC is driving me to my wit’s end with how slow and error prone it is, and how glitchy the NC office UI is (like glitches when selecting text or randomly scrolling you to the beginning).

Isn’t the iMX 8M in the Liberty phone still made overseas? In which case it won’t be exempt from the tariffs.

After I check the usual torrent sites, if I can’t find it on Usenet then I try finding random sketchy streaming sites (just by duckduckgoing title + year + stream) because usually you can youtube-dl them with a little fiddling, then my last resort is a DHT indexer like btdig. That’s more risk with viruses but if you’re paying attention it’s not that hard to avoid, but DHT indexes have lots of ancient stuff so be prepared to wait for seeds if you find it.

Sometimes I also find what I’m looking for on like page 7 of duckduckgo results at archive.org

Edit: also check soulseek - it’s primarily for music but you can share any file. I share my entire movies collection and get a constant stream of people downloading from me daily so it seems people search for and seem to also share TV and movies so it’s worth a check.
