What kind of issues do you have? Never had any using Debian, Ubuntu or arch

Really cool, thank you.

I have a small issue with some dark themes, but anyway I stuck with vapowave-dark even so :)

I love darkspace.

Well, I don’t know if that’s really sad, I think people should have a minimum of knowledge to host online services. Doing it while learning system administration from scratch and hoping it will be easy is kind of naive.

I did not read the docs but if it’s not the case maybe some basic knowledge should be listed as requirement along with some links to tutorials?

I do exactly the same that way I always get new content as I check in a few times a day. I have trouble understanding the trending and active sorting methods.

Those are very nice, thanks for sharing!

Too bad I did not check for how long the service was running before restarting, I’ll check next time.

I think I had to do this twice so I guess at least several weeks but I was up to 7GB then only 65MB after restart. And I had to do it on both my test and production server.

Yep I noticed that as well, though I don’t detect it right away since I have lots of available memory on my server. I just restart the pictrs service but indeed a more long term solution would be great. I haven’t created an issue since I don’t use a supported deployment method so I was not sure which was the culprit.

Well that’s too bad, you should open an issue. It worked for me, I even tweaked it to install the latest 0.16.0 and it worked as well.

Indeed, the home page is quite vague, there is no working link to the documentation, not very engaging

It has just been updated to 0.15.2!

Thanks for those answers.

I use I3wm and don’t play games on my gnu/linux computers so for now I think I’ll stick with it but it seems sway would be the way to go for me if I was ready.

Maybe that’s a stupid question (some might say there’s no such thing), but why would I run Wayland?

It looks like I would have to jump through hoops whereas x11 just works. I’m not being sarcastic or ironical, just genuinely wondering.

Oh, I always saw it as a voice chat client with text chat functionalities, never thought it was the other way around.

Good to know.

Some domain registrars offer some e-mail plan when you get a domain. I know I got a domain with 2 mailboxes for like 10€ a few years ago (it was OVH but I’m pretty sure other providers offer the same kind of deal).

The thing is sometime the web interfaces are not very good but you can use any other mail client AND can use a custom domain name for your address, that’s cool.

Then I ended up hosting my e-mails myself but if it wasn’t by curiosity I would have stuck with the offered plan.

It seems OK and the interface looks slick but I tried a few months ago and could not make it work following the documentation, I thought I would wait a little bit before trying again.

I think I read somewhere they would think about federation in a second time. That doesn’t bother me so much as I would probably use it like mumble with a small group of friends. That being said I do think federation would be a great feature to have, specially for the software adoption.

This is a voice chat app unlike rocketchat and the other you name.

Thanks for sharing.

Also for this you can use tldr

Also,it would be nice to have some sort of moderation/ban federation to avoid having to do the work on each instance.

I’m sure it’s easier said than done but would be very beneficial to the project and community.

Hi, I did not use the ansible playbook so I have no confirmation of what I’m saying here, just talking from my experience with ansible.

1. Yes, you need to clone it to your local machine even if it would also work from your VPS it’s much more practical to run ansible from a separate host.
2. Those {{ values }} are defined somewhere in your ansible inventory. For example {{ domain }} is defined in the hosts file you have to copy (domain=example.com)

This looks like a great tool.

I can’t think of any use case but I can’t help thinking I could do fun and useful things whit it.

I’m not convinced this will find much success.

First of all, like @const_void@lemmy.ml said I’m not sure we need and entire distro for this.

Second I think tiling managers require a lot of customization and it seems to me it would be rather complicated to package sensible defaults for those. Then why would you use a specific distro for tiling workspace managers if you need to spend time customizing it anyway?

I mean what added value would a distro bring?

Indeed asciinema is an awesome piece of software.

Bonus points for being FLOSS and being easily self-hostable.

I don’t know about your error but maybe it would be easier to help you if you posted your logs and confs in text format, bonus points if you avoid google.

I suggest you use some pastebin, it would be much easier to read, you can choose any privatebin instance for example.

As long as it’s opt-in and they don’t harass you I don’t see the problem.

Compare this to companies that make this stuff opt-out and put the setting behind several menus and “really, are you sure you want to take money from me, I mean are you really really sure?” confirmations, then reactivate it at the next update.

I can’t say I went all the way but I think I’m past the middle.

I try as much as possible to own the tools I use through self-hosting (mail, mastodon, pixelfed, matrix, lemmy, blog, cloud, firefox sync, photo hosting, rss, …) and when it’s not possible I choose privacy-oriented ones but sometimes floss alternatives just aren’t good enough and I won’t/can’t sacrifice the required efficiency.

That’s the case for search engines, I use my own searx instance but sometimes I just can’t find what I’m looking for so I switch to google for those.

My biggest issue is that I could not find an alternative that suits me to Youtube, I like peertube but there isn’t enough content for me and I don’t have the resources to host it (to control the federation settings).

As for android, I used to bother with aosp projects in the past but I don’t have the time anymore so I just rooted my device and disabled as much junk as I could and use f-droid as much as possible.

That is so absurd I find it hard to believe…

Good old vim

Can’t really say much about the cryptocurrency stuff but I do agree that some people want to run their own servers and that ignoring those would be a big mistake. But being one of those I am not objective.

This, with a good backup plan, looks like the sensible way to go based on what you want to do. I see people mentioning piwigo, that is a great choice if you want some advance photo hosting features, have multiple users, manage permissions (or not), but the content is not stored in a way that makes it easy to retrieve.

With nextcloud (and the autoupload on your phone), all your photos are accessible from any browser and you can still easily share content with generated links with preconfigured expiration, … Sure nextcloud does a lot more and may be a bit overkill for what you need but it should be easy to get running and the other features could be put to use without any doubt.

The other simple solution would be a simple photo gallery, with a sftp client on your phone, I used minigal nano in the past but it seems to be unmaintained. I’m sure you could find an alternative. From a quick search lychee and librephotos seem like a couple of good examples and photoprism which has been mentioned here.

Yes, but then you need another application to handle the synchronisation, I like that Joplin works with webdav and nextcloud. That being said I do admit it would have been better if it stored its content in plain text.

I used to have that issue, not anymore

This one seems to be lacking a mobile client, deal breaker for me.

Yes but it’ll only show content for communities that have already been subscribed to/searched for from your instance

Hi, I had this problem on my instance since I’m the only user. I found a workaround to get all lemmy.ml communities to show up on mine, I posted about it here: https://lemmy.coupou.fr/post/10428

For those who use yunohost, there’s a package for it

Oh that’s good news, thanks!
