Thx for mentioning infomaniak, I’m looking for alternatives to Mailbox.org as they had to increase their prices. I’ve tried self hosting but somehow it always has been a hassle, might be just me though. Also mailinabox wasn’t around back then. I’ve got my domain at namecheap, they’ve got all the tools and a super cheap whoisguard service. Prices depend on the tld you’re looking for, so you’ll have to look it up.
Hm, I could have looked at namecheap too. I ended up going with Porkbun because of well… it is cute and lovely. Not a great reason to choose a service, but it came highly recommended.
It is currently not possible. Games installed through GamePass have some kind of Windows compatibility layer which cannot be run by any wine or proton versions. At least not yet.
Yep, for steamdeck your options are to install windows or to stream. Greenlight is a good linux application that handles the streaming better than the website imo. It can also do remote play if you have an Xbox, which generally has much lower input latency.
For Matrix, I’d recommend https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit over synapse, with the expectation that all of synapse’s features haven’t yet been added (most notably support for spaces, which may or may not be a dealbreaker).
It’s incredibly easy to set-up and very lightweight. I never self-hosted synapse due to how resource-heavy it is, and constantly had issues with dendrite racking up resources as well.conduit has honestly been the easiest thing I’ve self-hosted.
What front-end are you running with conduit? I just spent two hours trying to get element to talk to it but i've put it off due to so much failure with it.
I’m curious what you don’t like about iOS. I started out on Android, switched to iOS and never looked back. I realized I was doing most customization in Android to feel like iOS lol. the privacy upgrade is priceless imo.
Pure personal preference. I’ve traditionally gone back and forth almost every time I get a new phone. It’s really only in the last 2-3 years I’ve hit the point I significantly prefer android.
For me, some of the interface choices on iOS are no Bueno. Additionally, the lack of a button, or simulated button is not something I’m fond of.
I’m also not convinced they are more private. I think Apple’s incentives line up more with mine than Google’s, but only barely. Independent researchers are pretty mixed on whether Apple is actually blocking all apps, or just making it so Apple is the only one who can profit off of people’s data.
The only reason I think they are probably more private is the giant hissy fit Facebook threw over their settings.
I run ejabberd for myself and my family/friend and use conversations on android. Mattermost I would say is the most like discord. I run one of those as well and love it.
I think ejabberd or another other xmpp server would have been my first choice for a service like this by a long shot. If only we had some good iOS clients to go to. While I’m on android, most of the family and some of the friends use iOS, so it was kind of a non-starter from that alone.
@serfraser@youshouldknow What's happening? Are you on an instance and want to see everyone's comments/post on other instances? What client are you using? Are you on the website? Are you on desktop ?
lemmy.world has been defederated at least by beehaw.org. If you want to participate there you will indeed have to make an account in another instance. IDK about other instances though. Also sometimes posts don’t propagate to other instances since population here just exploded. Lemmy’s software stack is being developed to handle the higher demand better.
which should show which instances are federated. But at the moment it doesn’t seem to work for me. Just loads infinitely until “something went wrong” pops up.
Ah, thanks. Looks like beehaw.org is still federated with lemmy.world, but just in one direction since at beehaw.org/instances lemmy.world is in the blocked list.
Then they aren’t federated and likely won’t see posts, right? If instance A defederates from Instance B, no matter what instance B does, they don’t talk.
@MadCybertist@SonNeedGym@hydra@Hedup Yep. They might seem like there talking but you will be talking to yourself. They have to federate to be able to talk and see all there comments and post. you might see some stuff now cause its cached but once they reboot or whatever you won't see anything
My main mode of transportation is by bike (I’m Dutch so that’s not surprising). For most trips a bicycle is much faster than a car. I only use my car if need to go a long distance or if I need to transport something too big to transport by bike. I only need to fill up my car with gas once or twice a year.
I own a. car, but it’s a tiny car (Mitsubishi Colt CZ3) so it’s in a very low tax bracket, I also have maximum no-claim discount on my insurance and this model car is very reliable so maintenance is minimal. It’s probably a little bit more expensive than a membership in a car sharing service but it has the advantage of always being available when needed.
We have very good public transport where I live, but it's so much easier to simply drive where you need to go instead of waiting at a bus stop for 15 minutes and then still need to walk for another 10 minutes to get where you needed to go. Yes, it's dumb and really bad for the environment, but it's easy. And more often than not, people prioritise stuff being easy rather than environmentally friendly.
Is this doable with one UPS? I’m thinking of the signal wire so the device knows it’s running on battery and has to shut itself down sooner or later. We have 2 (who need shutdown, +1 can just lose power I guess) different devices mentioned here.
I have one older APC UPS on the PC and one newer Eaton UPS on the NAS. Each UPS has a signal port with a cable connected to the main device that runs some software to notice when it’s on battery and supposed to shut itself down after X minutes battery time.
The NAS UPS also has the router, phone and zigbee hub connected, but only the NAS will shut itself down, the rest will just lose power at some point, but those don’t matter.
How do you get the server and NAS to both get the signal and both shut down after X minutes? Is there a specific UPS features required?
Look into NUT, Network UPS Tools. It runs in a server/client type of set up. You'd install the server onto the device that has the UPS data connected to it. It then monitors the UPS status and can tell all the clients to shutdown when the UPS is running low.
Hm but that adds a lot more complexity, as then every single network item has to have an UPS as well, right? Certainly not a problem for a company with server room and racks. But at home in a house, the hardware might be spread out across rooms and floors. If there is a switch somewhere without UPS, it will cut off certain clients from receiving the signal via network upon power outage.
I don’t think an additional UPS is really necessary here. I do have switches to other parts of my network, but they’re just for TVs and game consoles, so I don’t really think a UPS is needed there.
It’s mostly a failsafe so I can poweroff my NAS properly rather than corrupting data. Since my server and router are on the same power strip, it makes sense that they’re all on the UPS since they’re the 3 main items interacting with each other.
Something with NUT as [email protected] mentioned might be a good option so it can send alerts when it’s activated. I’ll have to research that more.
So, bit of a mixed bag. I enjoyed Spock smashing bloodwine, and the general idea of the plot, decent Klingons etc. I did not enjoy unexplained spacewar drugs, feels like a very non-Star Trek thing.
That being said, I really wish they would stop harping the “do the thing do the thing” angle every time anyone sits in the Captain’s chair. It’s been in every show now and it’s just such a tired and stale joke that it’s moved over time from being funny, to tiring, to outright annoying.
+1 for the complaint on the ‘do the thing’ comment. I feel like it’s because engage/make it so have become somewhat of a meme from Picard in TNG and they’re looking to replicate that.
But the idea every captain has their thing is one seemingly from the new Treks. In the past series, engage is used frequently by Kirk, Janeway and Sisko. (Kirk also frequently uses warp speed Mr sulu, ahead warp factor 1, take her out, first star to the left and straight on till morning etc.) They’ve been really pushing ‘let’s fly’ from Discovery, but it’s a terrible line and trying to force it just makes it cringy. I wish they’d used that time to expand the stealing the Enterprise plot a little more.
The big problem with the joke here is it’s totally the wrong moment. They’ve disobeyed orders and “stolen” the enterprise but haven’t actually gotten away yet… don’t just sit there messing around!
