I just got my home server up and running and was wondering what you guys recommend for backups. I figure it will probably be worth having backups on cloud servers tjay are external, are there any good services yall use for that?

My other instance has been down for two days and I’m not sure where to go to see updates/discussion etc....

Old habit, I opened rif and it loads current posts! What’s going on?

I can’t get my DualShock 4 controllers to work on Arch without ds4drv. I am pretty sure this method isn’t required anymore, because the dualshock 4 work just fine on NixOS. What am I missing? Do I need to load modules? Specific kernel or Bluetooth package? I am running the latest zen kernel with Nvidia. Same hardware as my...

Not counting the Steam Deck, since KDE isn’t actually turned on while you’re running games....

I’ve been using Real Debrid for about a year now, but there’re a couple of things making me want to switch....

The recent post about what people are using for webmail got me thinking about a perhaps irrational policy I have with my own self-hosted software: I don’t install anything written in PHP, because I have this vague notion that PHP software is often insecure. I think I probably got this idea because years ago I saw all the...

Hi! I’m currently running a bunch of docker containers on an old optiplex desktop I got from a local used PC store a year or so ago. Since I’ve been really enjoying this hobby and it’s stuck around, I now want to upgrade my hardware while also downsizing the physical size. I was thinking of getting an Intel NUC but it...

I’m looking for a suggestion for compact-ish NAS cases. I only have a few drives, 4 at the moment, so I don’t need a ton of space. But I’d like to downsize without getting a brand new motherboard and PSU it possible (both are ATX at the moment)....

Is there a place I can go on lemmy where I can say “is there a community/magazine that has people’s weird ideas they thought of in the shower” and if anyone knows of a place they’ll point you to it?

I just installed debian 12 on an old laptop, and it has gnome. I’ve installed KDE, but when I log in it still pulls up gnome. How do I change it to KDE? Thanks.

i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

One of the only things I find myself missing about reddit is the videos. I’m aware that it’s not really feasible for videos to be hosted on a lemmy instance at the moment, but I’m curious if that might change

Hi All. I have been running my own lemmy instance for a while now. I set it up sort of as an experiment, and then I realized that I liked having my own instance, as it makes me (mostly) immune to outages due to things outside my control, defederation drama, etc. So I decided that I am going to stick with having my own instance....
