Tarte , to selfhosted in How do you handle secrets in home automation?
@Tarte@kbin.social avatar

I generate a unique key pair (or token) for each service that I want to access from the host machine. I see no issue with storing that dedicated private key locally in plaintext (obviously in a folder where only the required user can read it and I except it from backup and versioning). I use one dedicated user per externally accessible service.

Should the machine itself become compromised this would indicate that my personal master key and master password have been compromised or someone gained physical access. That would require me to restart from a blank page anyways.

I haven’t played around with it much, so this is a pretty uninformed suggestion, but BitWarden have a secrets manager, currently in beta. You can create projects, then grant human or service accounts access to secrets. Looks promising, but I have to say I’m a bit of a BW fanboy so I concede some bias.

redballooon , to selfhosted in r/selfhosted is still rising, WTF? Come to Lemmy!!!

Why would you care about getting banned from Reddit?

peregus OP ,

Because Lemmy has about 0.something % of the users that Reddit has and I still find useful some subreddit.

redcalcium , to selfhosted in r/selfhosted is still rising, WTF? Come to Lemmy!!!

If you look at the charts you linked, you can see the users activity (post per day and comments per day) is falling sharply since last month. Subscribers count mean nothing if a big proportion of the active posters leave.

peregus OP ,

Post per day seams steady at about 30/40, comment per day seams to have dropped from 3/400 to 250/300, I would have expected a great fall.

redcalcium ,

If you compare post per days from before the strike, it definitely falls. It’s no longer an upward trajectory despite subscribers growth.

@x4740N@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I wouldnt be surprised if spez is bolstering subscriber numbers for larger subs with bot accounts

ghostwolf ,
@ghostwolf@lemmy.fakeplastictrees.ee avatar

You need to compare with the same period last year.

redcalcium ,

If you look at the chart, pretty much nothing comparable to the same period last year. January 2023 is a lot higher than January 2022 for example. July 2023 is also higher than July 2022.

mim ,

Makes sense, the people who have both the tech knowledge and conviction on the advantages of selfhosting, were probably the most active posters.

Jackolantern ,

The new subscribers are probably bots.

Gladory ,

100% how spez started out initially and made it appear that reddit had a lot of activity. So this definitely smells like spez-tricks

Jackolantern ,

Definitely. Inflating numbers for the sake of the upcoming IpO

DrQuint ,

It’s interesting how Lemmy shows active users before subscribing. Even reddit shows “readers” (people currently online), but people hyperfocus on subscribers (which can be dead accounts).

theothersparrow , to nostupidquestions in Why does freedom of speech seem to invoke the right to be an arse?
@theothersparrow@lemmy.one avatar

The simple answer is they’re attempting to insulate themselves from consequence or challenge.

Free speech doesn’t work like that (it only protects you from gov’t retaliation, not other private citizens), but it doesn’t stop them from trying because as some of the responses here exemplify, people will fall for it and let them continue saying whatever, regardless of whether it’s true or harmful to the vulnerable.

DasKibby , to selfhost in [Question] Anyone know a selfhosted cloud gaming panel?

you mean gamevau.lt?

MoogleMaestro , to selfhosted in r/selfhosted is still rising, WTF? Come to Lemmy!!!

You would think, of all the communities that would be comfortable with migration, it would be the folks from /r/selfhosted!

Fellow user from there, btw, nice to see we've got a decent pool of people on this board instead.

garret ,
@garret@lemmy.ml avatar

Totally agree. Thought the same when the reddit shitstorm happened.

emhl ,

Well that’s probably a reason why this community is so strong compared to other nieche communities

@raccoon

Out of curiosity what are your issues with jellyfin? I haven't had any myself.

LuckyCharmsNSoyMilk , to nostupidquestions in Is it really a mass exodus? And is it really a mass exodus to lemmy?

I still use Reddit on the computer but most of my mobile use is gone.

coagulatedlube ,

Same here, for the most part. I have an app called Stealth (Android) that allows you to browse Reddit without logging in and I use it occasionally to browse some subreddits that do not have a Lemmy equivalent yet.

kia , to selfhosted in r/selfhosted is still rising, WTF? Come to Lemmy!!!

If you link to Lemmy on Reddit, the admins sometimes delete the comment.

Hahaah some mods in r/greece are doing exactly than too

sdjmchattie ,

Admins or mods? Two very different groups.

@sv1sjp@lemmy.world avatar

Oh, oops you are rught sorry *mods

brad ,

Lol I used a script to overwrite my 13 years of fairly active redditing with a join-lemmy.org link

peregus OP ,

I’ve read that Reddit was recovering them all. Are yours still gone?

brad ,

I checked earlier today and, at a cursory doomscroll, everything appears to remain deleted so far

b3an ,
@b3an@lemmy.world avatar

Help? What did you use?

brad ,

I used this: redact.dev

forkball , to showerthoughts in If you have reddit coins that are about to go to waste... I would search for a "fuck u/spez" post and award it as much as you can
@forkball@lemmy.world avatar

This isn’t really a shower thought…but it stays up cuz fuck u/spez

klyde ,
@klyde@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve hardly seen any actual shower thoughts on here. Just like how no stupid questions isn’t being used correctly either.

MrShankles OP ,

Sorry, I’ll be posting another actual shower thought later. Maybe on my lunch break if I get one

Kissaki , to nostupidquestions in is there any way to add a back button on the left margin?

I miss it too.

That’s a UI thing. Lemmy UI does no such thing. So there’s no user-fix.

You could hack it in through code injection or a contribution to the Lemmy project though, or create a feature request.

Reddit loaded a post within-page. Lemmy loads a new page for the post specifically. A back navigation would not be too much effort. Changing to a in-page load would go against Lemmy’s current UI approach.

rustyriffs OP ,

I wish I knew how to hack some code in, that would be badass! Looks like a feature request will be the best route for me. Thanks.

rustyriffs OP ,

Look into Alexandrite if you’re interested. It does what I was asking.

andruid , to linux in Does anyone actually like the default GNOME workflow?

Gnome does make it feel like I should have like 3 apps open and anything more is a mental burden. I personally really like the overview though! If I could get gnomes overview as my meta key in KDE it would be killer!

Holzkohlen ,

KDE Plasma has an overview. By default it’s a topleft hotcorner thing. It’s just awful cause it mashes all desktops into one. Absolutely useless

    I met a vagabond recently, and he does as you say.

    He saved money for a while before starting, and does pick up odd jobs on the way.

    He visit cheap places. He’s been in Asia, Africa, and South America.

    Also, he saves money doing couch surfing.

    So many interesting people and conversations have happened from hosting couch surfers over the years for me.

    Well new project for me to look into thanks. I have only seen petals as a distributed inference engine, so seeing more in the space would be promising.
