A bit of a PSA for LG owners running webOS:
I rooted my tv and now have adless youtube, but apparently root is not a prerequisite - there also installation using dev mode. Admitedly, haven’t tried it and it’s probably less convenient to get it set up, but then it should be a one time thing.
How do you control it? Any fancy integration or just good old mouse?
I’m a syaadmin now, but self hosting nextcloud is what got me my first IT job. I now host a bunch of stuff (even email!), lemmy included.
how did you decide that you would like to self-host? I wanted my friends to play a cs1.6 map I had created.
dire problems, including those that accumulate over time
That’s not a thing. You create problems over time by experimening in what is, effectively, production load. If all you ever did was install any distro and kept it up to date - not much can break. Granted - shit happens, but it’s incredibly rare.
As an example - I’ve set up my mail server in May 2019. Chose archlinux, because I never wanted to go through a big upgrade. The only exta software installed there is mail-server related. Direct from the repos. I’ve become confident enough that now there’s a nightly cronjob to update the system with a hook to reboot if kernel or init gets updated.
In all those 5 a bit years I’ve had one issue where I hqd to revert a kernel update.
Another example is tang on an ubuntu server. This was at a previous workplace, but essentially it’s a piece of software from the repos. Originally installed on 16.04, has gone without reprovisioning all the way to 22.04. I’ve now left the company, but I hear it’s still running.
Upgrading an ubuntu desktop fleet with a myriad of custom software, on the other hand… let’s just not talk about it.
I’m not the best person to query about backups, but in your situation I would do the following, assuming both server and desktop run on BTRFS:
Have a script on the desktop
that starts btrfs-receive
and then notifies the server
that it should start btrfs-send
.
You can also do rsync if BTRFS is not a thing you use, but It would either be expensive storage wise, or you would only ever have 1 backup - latest
.
Same as the other commentor. Good read!
I’m running Graphene on a pixel - google camera works as it would normally. The only issue is the preview-click-to-open-gallery bit not working. It needs the Photos app which I have not installed on purpose.
I’ve found this.

It does seem suspicious, though.

Pick one.
Fair enough. What stuff do you run on your regular week?
I’ve not had anything like that since… forever. But then I’m not a kde nor fedora user. Naturally raises the question - have you considered switching from kde, fedora or both?
I’ve been running mine for just over 5 years now - initial setup was ass, but it’s very much hands off now - email simply doesn’t change anymore.
If you have a domain to test - I can host it for you. If you then decide that it works well enough for you - I’ll show you how to set it up on your own server.
Wireguard works best for private traffic, but you can’t host a public site with that.
Of course you can! Nginx and wireguard on a VPS and actual services wherever you want.
If you can dedicate some time to constant keep up - pick a rolling distro. Doing major version upgrades has never not had problems for me. Every major distro has one.
My choice is Gentoo, but I’m weird like that. Having said that - my email server has been running happily on Arch for just over 5 years now.
The lemmy instance I host is on Debian testing - Gentoo was not available on DO - no issues so far.
Even when it’s mostly containers - why waste time every n years doing the big upgrade? Small change is always safer.
Is this the repo of the tool?
@Weslee@lemmy.world has already answered, but in general - you can see [de]federated instances at an <instance url>/instances. In my case that would be lemmy.cafe/instances
If not for an occasional comment like yours - I would never remember I’ve defederated them. Thanks!
That’s not what I meant.
For those already owning one - try setting up pihole or an equivalent. Sony could be serving ads from a domain used by something like a cdn, but I bet they don’t.
