I’ve never heard of this, but what happens if it shuts down? How is this really self hosting vs getting an generic we hosting service and storing files there ?
Is it more reliable now? I used it for a while then used new pipe but it always had problems loading content, and I’ve been meaning to go Foss with YouTube and buying a pixel and using graphine
Perhaps do you know where I could find a potential list of piped instances?. Also thanks for letting me know about libretube and stuff, I didn’t know there was different instances of piped
Both assholes. Their “are you sure OwO???” tactics is just typical assholery that I’d have straight up made illegal were I the FTC, but you did go in specifically intending to abuse them, so I would urge you to take the loss as some sort of “lesson learned tax”.
Well, the loss of the first month, don’t have them be entitled to more. Those three other months are assholery that should never be rewarded.
Edit: I also don’t think this belongs in /c/Technology. There’s asklemmy for this stuff.
no, being able to move the home server of a community is different from being able to join the community from other servers. It would mean that if a server has an issue or becomes an undesirable place, the community can live on by moving somewhere else.
I manage them by not. My configs are gone when I wipe my drive and I simply recreate them from memory. Things get forgotten, new things get changed. Holding on to the past too tightly will make you unable to leave it.
I’ve struggled to put in words my stance on this, but you said it well. If I backed up my configs, I would get stuck doing things the exact same way for ever. If I backed up my configs I’d be still using Vim with Vungle plugins, now I use Neovim with Packer plugins. I would be still using urxvt with powerline-status bar, now I use Alacritty with starship status. I’d be still using my old favourite Inconsolata font, now I use Fantasque for everything.
There are always newer (and sometimes better) and certainly different ways of tweaking your PC to suit your needs. If you hold on too tight to your old configs, you might miss out on discovering the next cool thing to enhance your experience.
Note: there are of course some home dir things I definitely keep backed up that are irreplaceable, like SSH private keys, GPG keyrings and private keystores, and even my Firefox profile directory.
Maybe etckeeper fits your use case? It’s specifically built for managing /etc files with version control systems. I can’t say much about it since I’ve never used it, though.
I’m replying here because I think yours is the right answer (etckeeper), but for other readers I want to note that for Arch Linux in particular, an alternative is aconfmgr.
You REALLY don’t want to use the things posted in ich_iel as learning material. Most of them use deliberately poor language, not just puns, but our memes are frequently based on badly translated English memes (which means that even if an English “translation” seems to make sense, you’d be learning nonsense). They don’t make sense to native speakers who aren’t “in the know” and they’re useless if you’re just learning. Any machine translation would be lost entirely because there is no context, no grammar or anything. Do yourself a favour and flee this place until you’ve built a solid foundation of German to recognise what is a normal sentence and what is dumbassery on the internet.
Keine Sorge, it’s ok. Stuff happens. I do want to ask though, if I’m focusing on making memes with proper grammar and such, and interacting with the community in the comments, is that better or would it still be doomed to fail because of the “needing to be in-the-know” stuff? Cause I did make a meme for ich_iel here on lemmy, and I think it went alright.
I mean, as long as you’re hyperaware of the risk and that if something seems weird to you, it very likely IS weird and shouldn’t go into your Anki deck, and even if it seems to make sense, it might still be VERY wrong language, you might use ich_iel as a kind of indicator to see how far you’ve come?
There is the “SPRICH DEUTSCH DU HURENSOHN” thing so anything even remotely English (or other non-German language, except Dutch if we’re having a good day) will be rewarded with loads of snark. But if you already feel comfortable (shit)posting in German, you’re not a total beginner anymore anyway. We’re generally welcoming of people trying to learn the language, even on ich_iel. So if every once in a while you ask very nicely about a detail or two (preferably not just “hey where am i what is this”), you might have someone try their best to help you as well :) there just might not BE any accessible explanation for a LOT of things that doesn’t require several paragraphs of background information so ymmv.
Yeah there HAS to be a way to cache all the posts comments replies etc at a certain point. Maybe every so often it flashes a cache on your server; saves everything; and lets you either create new with what you had OR move or.
there was this jerk working as an intern at red hat. lennart. he made the decision to break the linux dogma: do one thing and do it good. systemd was born. red hat drools. an important step towarda ending open-ness. later snaps. later closing red hat stream. profit.
if you use systemd or snaps you could just fast forward and use apple.
It depends what you are looking for. Your description is actually kinda confusing.
Do you want something to allow the install of games from a self hosted server? Then you’re looking for gamevau.lt
Do you want “one launcher to rule them all” that allows for local aggregation of all available games from all platforms? Then you’re looking for playnite.link
kbin.life
