I’m disabled and would love to have one I could remote control around the house and garden to help with chores. But they don’t even seem to be good enough for that.

I mean, it probably is the easiest way for them to carry it. But the sense of urgency with which they were running towards it was hilarious.

I knew this sounded familiar! https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5763#issuecomment-2959296044

Thank you, the part about the database is important.

Of course that depends on the apps in question and if you are even able to install additional apps in a managed environment.

But not all apps are so limited. The cookbook app for instance saves all recipes as markdown files you can easily share with others, download or backup.

Managed Nextcloud is definitely easier than hosting it your own. I bet they also have the hardware to guarantee good performance. With any luck Hetzner also offers AI features like face recognition and automated tagging.

But don’t go in there expecting a fully fledged Google Photos alternative. Even when Memories is much better than Nextcloud’s own Photos, it lacks many essential features like easy filtering of your collection. You basically have to sort your photos yourself.

Unless Hetzner offer something on top of Nextcloud file sync is done via Webdav, not sftp or rsync. But basically every OS has Webdav clients.

Calendar and Contacts are also synced via DAV. CalDAV and CardDAV. Works well for me on Android with DAVx⁵.

I just googled something. Don’t remember what I ended up on. Probably some blog post combined with rspamd’s website. It depends on your mailserver anyways.

It’s hard to find anything VLC doesn’t support. Just try it. It’s great on any device.

rspamd is used nowadays. Add sieve filtering to automatically move mails with a 7.0 or higher to a spam-folder. Manually move mails there that haven’t been detected and move mails out of the spam folder that have been falsely detected (personally don’t have any false positives with rspamd).

Then set up bayes learning with rspamd, either when mails are moved between folders or every few hours.

Jellyfin on the PC.

Or using Windows file sharing and running VLC on the TV and tablet.

It’s even in the FAQs of piracy forums. It’s awesome how far Linux gaming has come!

I use Nextcloud. Of course that only makes sense when you use the other Nextcloud stuff as well.

Bold strategy.

Signal doesn’t send anything in the payload. They just use it to wake the phone up and then download all messages that are waiting to be delivered through the usual encrypted means. All Google knows is that something happened at that time. They don’t know anything else.

But they only instruct Signal to wake up and download whatever is waiting. They don’t contain the message contents.

That’s what the scaled sort is supposed to solve. It pushes up posts that are popular relative to other posts in their communities. So even if they regularly get 0 upvotes they should still show up.

I use the scaled sort on subscribed together with hiding read posts and marking posts as read when I scroll by. That way I usually see the posts made in smaller communities fairly regularly.

This depends on the server you sign up on. lemmy.world is just one of many. No idea which one doesn’t require an email address. Since you’re already on lemmy.world I’d stay there for a while to get a feel for the other servers out there.

Switch and Click had a video about that recently: https://youtu.be/M9qJI2u_be0

Reminds me of the time I was working on something for Mercedes but they couldn’t supply me with the computer for testing. I had to go into the super cramped actual car that was parked in a super expensive secure garage.

Left the company and when I went there for a visit I saw that the new guy actually got to test and develope on a computer they had ripped out of a car.

I was and still am on HDD. The CPU was upgraded as well. I migrated to a new server.

The main culprit was the database. As far as I’m aware Lemmy is missing some indexes and due to the ORM they used didn’t always have optimised queries. Now with 64 GB RAM the whole database (almost 30 GB) fits in there fixing most of those issues.

The real fix will probably come with Lemmy 1.0. They radically changed the database layout and queries.

Image proxying wasn’t bad for performance. Just storage space. It was growing really really fast. Now that only I am using it to host the pictures I uploaded it is still much too large (24 GB). But its directory structure is so convoluted that I can’t really debug it. My stuff really shouldn’t be taking up more than a few hundred MBs.

I am the only one using this instance. I am subscribed to a hundred communities or so. I am always pretty up to date with my Lemmy versions.

RAM. Maybe 32 would have been enough but 64 cost as much as 32 so that decision was easy.
