Due to the federated nature of Lemmy, and the need to prevent one account voting multiple times, and the ActivityPub protocol it’s all built on… all votes are effectively public, though Lemmy does try to obscure this a bit. But anyone can set up an instance, link to other instances, and be sent all the votes and who did them.
Lucky for you there is a site https://lemvotes.org/ that saves you this hassle, it’s in the form of looking up votes for a post rather than bulk data.
What’s your solution to this problem for the rest of your digital life?
So testing on animals?
Don’t forget the Breezy live wallpaper, where it shows a wallpaper based on the current weather.
On my wife’s phone it has tabs along the bottom. On mine it has the same options in the hamburger menu at the top left. I have no idea why they are different 😅
I think I tried this when troubleshooting and didn’t notice a difference. Nevermind, I pretty easily taught her how to bring up the menu and switch audio streams so she can solve it herself now.
Thanks, I didn’t manage to find many options in swiftfin, you don’t know if I can enforce it for a user from the server side?
I set up Jellyfin on my mother-in-law’s TV, it’s just push play.
My mum has an Apple TV (the device, not the subscription) and on there she uses swiftfin. The only issue has been sound not working on certain audio tracks on certain movies, but in general it is easy for anyone.
Both are very familiar interfaces for anyone used to playing something from a streaming service.
How so? I have HTTPS on internal sites, I just use DNS validation to get the certificate.
What is the security risk of adding HTTPS to a site going via VPN?
I highly recommend spinning up a Nextcloud AIO instance. It’s the recommended and supported method, and it will likely run a lot nicer because all the database, redis, etc tweaking are done for you in a known good setup.
If you try that and it’s still no good, then OCIS might be worth trying depending on exactly what you are trying to achieve.
I’m also here on AIO with a great experience. It’s snappy and the website loads faster than Onedrive ever did.
I had a docker install prior to AIO being available, and there was a lot of tweaking to get it running nicely (though it did run nicely). AIO takes care of it all for you.
Others might have suggestions. I run everyhting in docker. I then use Traefik as the reverse proxy in docker, where you add labels to the containers you want it to handle and it works things out on it’s own. I have also configured it to do certificates automatically, including automatic domain validation using a Cloudflare API.
Caddy and Nginx Proxy Manager are other popular ones that can configure HTTPS certificates for you.
You don’t have to overthink it. Choose a reverse proxy you like. If it does automatic certificates, that’s great. If not, Let’s Encypt (which most of these services use for the free certificates) have a certbot program you install and run on a cronjob to renew certificates.
Owncloud Infinite Scale was a rewrite of the codebase to get away from PHP. In theory this should be better able to run on lower end hardware. People tend to say they use it if they are only wanting the file part and not all the apps. Personally I use Nextcloud because I want the apps.
Automatic certificate renewal is built into many reverse proxies, and can be done for free, so I don’t see a reason not to do it.
Nextcloud has federation of some features so I’d guess that would be a key reason you can’t change the domain (you also can’t change a Lemmy domain once set up). However, you’re using it for file sync for yourself, right? Regardless of what you pick (even Nextcloud), you could surely just set up a new instance under the new domain then move all your files over.
I don’t think it’s really true these days that it needs a lot of config. Maybe reverse proxies will do it for you automatically without much setup.
I am curious what the security risks are for HTTPS for a service that will already be accessible remotely?
OwnCloud Infinite Scale might be the option you missed?
Nextcloud was forked from the PHP Owncloud some years back, and they added all the apps and things. But Owncloud is like Nextcloud but focused only on the files.
I am a bit concerned that you’re talking about not wanting HTTPS and see it as a bad thing that something requires it. Given you can get free certificates these days, why would you not want a secure connection? Even if you’re accessing via a VPN to server tunnel, I see no reason not to have it.
Not only that, but they said they tried really hard but weren’t able to make it work reliably (though they don’t go into the reasons why).
Ooh I think I know how to pronounce that one!
As someone with a public facing website, there are significant volumes of scraping still happening. But largely this appears to come out of South East Asia and South America and they take steps to hide who they are so it’s not clear who is doing it or why, but like you say it doesn’t appear to be OpenAI, Google, etc.
It doesn’t appear to be web search indexing, the scraping is aggressive and the volume will bring down a Lemmy server no matter how powerful the hardware.
