I don’t like the idea of security by obscurity, seems like a lazy way of trying to protect a resource.

You can host your own instance to share your opinions.
Still don’t expect other instances for allowing content they don’t want to be federated with, so you might have where to say something but it might not reach everyone.

Not OP, but I’m thinking about the example in vs code: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/userdefinedsnippets
Some boilerplate code for libraries and frameworks I constantly use.
I’d be more interested in syncing the VS code snippets as they are automatically available in a file for each language and have the autocomplete stops.

What do you mean?
The frontend yeah, but seems the S3 objects would still need to be public.

I resorted to buy a new one with android tv, so now I just have tailscale installed in it and can directly play jellyfin.

The issue is the chromecast can’t resolve back to the tailnet with subrouting. Probably connecting the chromecast to a network which resolves the connections for it could work, but I don’t know how to do that or if it’s actually possible.

Damn, I let that offer get away since I was reading mixed reviews from it (it’s already gone in Canada). Plus I got advice to wait for Black Friday.

It’s funny they think 5 seconds of no content is worst of 10~30 seconds of ads.

Windows: you’re going to use wsl, right?

I want instances that block as few other users as possible so I can decide for myself what content I see.

Then you want to selfhost, otherwise you’ll always be at the will of someone else to decide which instances they want to federate with.

Even then, you’ll still want to have in mind instances known for spam, bots, or shady content have been blocked.

I installed https://vikunja.io/ last week, it has nice features.
The main one for me is the ability to set a repeating task, when I mark it as done it reappears with the next due date.

The actions are amazing, and I was also able to integrate them with tailscale so I can build and deploy everything within my network automatically.
I run it in a vps with 1cpu and 2gb ram along several other services.

Well, not only this data, all activity on lemmy is public since it needs to be federated (sent to all instances subscribed to the community will receive all activity).
Which means any person can track anyone if they subscribe to the same communities the user’s instance has.

AFAIK the only activity not sent is saved content, and downvotes from content hosted in instances which disabled them.

EDIT: for more example, here’s my upvote to this post

And all instances which are subscribed to this community need to receive this information to keep it updated.

Are they actually backed up?
I don’t use google photos anymore but I remember just clicking a “free space” button somewhere and it deleted photos from all folders which I had marked to sync.

human faces, and body parts

Wait, what? Weren’t there ads saying you could change the faces of your friends so they’ll be smiling?

EDIT: yep, here it is https://youtu.be/1qjnB2uZMqw?t=30s

The last time I checked postgres gets big becouse of a log activity table used for deduplication, it stores the data of 6 months. The devs mentioned you could be deleting it up to some point (IIRC they said 3 months, but confirm first).

As for pictrs, lemmy caches a lot of stuff, so it copies a lot of data from other instances even when it’s advertised only media from your instance is stored in your server.
My solution was to disable pictrs since I don’t upload media.
Other solutions I’ve heard about are to ask users of your instance to upload media to any other media hosting service, the images uploaded to lemmy are just seen as urls, so it wouldn’t be any different.

It’s been great and not that expensive using a VPS.
$6 for the vps and $1 for 40GB HDD.
Although the HDD probably is making my instance slow, to improve it it’d be $4 for 40GB of SSD, but since the instance is only for me I don’t have any issue in waiting a few minutes.

Several from here https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted and here https://github.com/awesome-foss/awesome-sysadmin

The most recent one was vikunja to manage to-do’s without cluttering my calendar.

I’ve been thinking on pre-processing my library to be able to serve it on a low level device, have you thought about that option?
In my case since I know what content I’ll be watching the most in what devices and have the space to duplicate it (since I don’t want to lose the original files)

That’s exactly what 1:a:0 does, from the first stream, from the audio streams, select the first stream.
In this case since the audio is the second stream 1:a:0 is the same as 1:1

I just tried it the other way, moving the audio from the mkv to the mp4 and it works properly.
Probably I can try to bundle the video of the mkv into an mp4 since Jellyfin is going to be doing it anyway when I try to stream to most devices.

Wasn’t there some concern about branch?
The adlist I have for my PiHole has their domains blocked.
Or is this a different branch?
