  • As far as I can tell the USA, Britain, Germany, Denmark, Italy, New Zealand, Russia, Australia and China are fucked. Fascism, nationalism, corporate capitalism, segregation, genocide, history erasure, political extremism and regression.. Looking pretty fucking bleak. I'd include Palestine but it was formatted by Britain and replaced with Israel, and it doesn't technically exist like it used to.

  • Fun

    Fuck it, thousand year Reich, global edition

    If the Nazis lose, I live, and the future is good. If the Nazis win, I die, and the future doesn't matter.

  • 'Ship' means 'vessel for navigation' so I do not like - if it doesn't travel

  • Thank you! Definitely looking into that. That's another thing I've never understood, why I lose connection to a local service when the broadband cuts out.

    If I get a router with split DNS, and not need an Internet connection... That would be huge.

    So that's DNSSEC.. I do have to occasionally let my browser know it's okay aha, but that's how Google (I used to use Chrome) added my old admin password to a list of breached passwords..

  • It hurts, but you may be right. I hate trendsetters for price hikes. Hopefully releases like Peak for $20 can help remind folk that AAAs aren't always worth the base cost. I just really dislike how capitalism ruins everything, in this case the obsession over currency has led to the games development industry being corporatized; for all but indies it's largely about how to appease the consumer and maximize profit, instead of how to make something people will love and get enough sales to make another game.

    I came in to the franchise at Vice City Stories and San Andreas, loved them! I do know a little about the chronological releases and that there were spinoffs that for some reason weren't numbered aha. So:

    Vice City (Miami 1980s) GTA III -

    • Liberty City (sort of NYC) San Andreas -
    • Los Santos (Los Angeles)
    • San Fierro (San Francisco?)
    • Las Venturas (Las Vegas) GTA IV -
    • Liberty City (New York City) GTA V ( -
    • Los Santos again
    • North Yankton (North Dakota)
    • Surroundings are a mashup of several real-life counterparts GTA VI -
    • Vice City again

    I preferred San Andreas, and liked it mainly for the size and beauty of the map (post storyline appeal) and radio stations, Vice City for the collectibles, GTA IV for the brilliant and crazy storyline characters, and GTA V for the same reason as San Andreas.

    A couple of my all-time favourite games were Rockstar (Need for Speed Most Wanted and Midnight Club 3, underground street racing).

  • I migrated back. :)

    I chose Matrix (continuwuity) because it's less involved for others to chat and set up settings, and that's key to bring more folk into a new ecosystem - as little friction as possible. It's far from perfect, as I have no call functionality*, but it's simpler to handle chat encryption, plus Element, Matrix and the maintainers of each server project are working hard to catch up to the mainstream.

    Element are hoping to implement Element Call, as well as a QR scan that handles all of the security key validating for a new device, and MAS authentication) so people will be able to register accounts and set up 2FA.. And I concluded that, in the end, backwards decryption was more valuable and sacrificing previous messages was just too extreme a move. I have security, moderating traffic, and I'm self hosting. That's enough for my family.

    *I swear I had calling available with Conduwuit, coturn and Element, but hey ho.

  • Self-hosting be like ^^

    I think I had issues similar to that. Perhaps the PiHole is running a conflicting DHCP server? I have my own set of weird issues.. Bad connectivity so I need a WiFi range extender, but it's not a true extender and has its own IP address, acting as a router sometimes and not forwarding DNS queries to the main router.. That, a lack of NAT loopback functionality, a lack of changeable DNS settings and the AdGuard Home apparently taking precedent in that side of the house, and I have a cocktail of connection issue bs lol. The main router can DNS perfectly fine, but if I'm connected to the extender I have to add DNS rewrites to AGH.. which works for most services..

    The journey is largely about overcoming obstacles aha, and the reward for doing so.. Hope yours goes well!

  • Yes! This.

    I have one machine for network sharing storage and thus a user for login and r/w powers. The same storage is used by other machines to save the files, and so each autonomous user for CCTV and qBitTorrent needed to have the same UID as the Samba login, so each program had rw permissions.

    And those containers had to be privileged iirc in order for each root (UID 0) to access the shared storage properly. I may be wrong though

  • I have a router given to me by my ISP, which incidentally has less features than their older model, so I was wondering, if you know: Would some 'aftermarket' gateways also be a DNS server? Sometimes it'd be great to have the resolution handled completely by the gateway instead of a separate machine - especially as some of my services just don't seem to declare their names. And my stock router has a terrible downside - no NAT loopback. And - the reason I'm in this pickle - they've removed custom DNS settings.

  • Currently I only have my fiancée on board, but the moment something requires more than setting a custom login domain and user+pass, her patience dwindles. She's a good baseline for me to know that most people won't be happy with a manual cryptographic handshake between contacts (Matrix/XMPP) or fucking with IP:port settings. I dont like to damage someone's feeling of independence but sometimes these things need someone who can blitz through the settings themselves, especially if you have to troubleshoot why it didn't just work.

  • Exactly.

  • On your DNS provider, the domain name must point to the public IP of your router. All devices connected to your network use the same public IP.

    On the router, ports 80 and 443 must be forwarded to the (local IP of) the machine running Nginx.

    Nginx must have the domain name point to the local IP of the machine running ABS.

    Are you using Nginx or Nginx Proxy Manager?

    Edit: If Nginx, as they're on the same docker setup, instead of the Nginx config pointing to ABS' local IP you can use 172.17.0.1 (iirc) and the port you used, or the container_name from compose.yaml, e.g. audiobookshelf:3748

    I use NginX Proxy Manager so my methods may differ slightly.

    Note about domains: It's always good to buy one.

    RIP DuckDNS.. it used to be a fairly reliable Dynamic DNS (DDNS) and it cost nothing to make an account and five domains.. However, apparently, it was shut down without notice under a month ago.

  • I mean, fall, for Americans, is a period within autumn in which the leaves of most trees fall.. Not the whole season. Here's some sauce from the world's worst English dictionary.

    Edit: Excerpts:

    A number of writers used the phrase "the fall of the leaves," which then came to be associated with the season. This phrase was shortened in the 1600s to fall.

    And quoted from a poet, in turn their friend:

    "In North America the season in which this [the fall of the leaf] takes place, derives its name from that circumstance, and instead of autumn is universally called the fall."

  • I just want a picture of a god dang hotdog

  • Coal hurts kids' brains

    Yeah so does American politics, and any country whose government hinders the progression of society.

  • The theory is that it will scan on device before it's encrypted. Would XMPP clients (as long as their developers don't comply) be safe?

  • I second the controversy, owners of the program kinda suck (like Lemmy really) but mainly I was using a fork of Conduit for my server called Conduwuit but the single maintainer got bullied off the internet and they couldn't hack the abuse, so they had to retreat and stop maintaining everything to recover their health. Here is their statement. They were open about having a furry/puppy kink and so constantly got people attacking them, spreading rumours and accusing them of bestiality and paedophilia.

    Anyway, as my favourite fork was no longer maintained, and as Matrix the devs were working on proprietary modifications (Element X) that were basically already invented, plus some security issues alongside trusting them, the first of which being that some of my traffic between my server and my client was routed through them, I chose XMPP.

    Speaking of Matrix, there is a recent vulnerability for federated servers that needs to be addressed by hosters.

    XMPP does have its downsides, though. No pretty desktop clients, and the OMEMO verification with no backward decryption meaning when you use a new client, your previous encrypted messages are never readable.. In this Matrix trumps.

    It's just really hard to stay mindful of ethics, privacy and stuff.

    I just learned that Conduwuit has been officially taken on by both a stable team of developers under a fork called Tuwunel, and an unknown amount of volunteers under the name Continuwuity. The whole situation is messy as fuck. I might migrate back.

  • Yeah, exactly. Any client works with varied features, and the OMEMO key encryption is solid and - while it is a pain with no backwards decryption - worth it. Movim is really popular iirc. I use Monocles on Android

  • For inspiration, here's my list of services:

    Here is the overhead for everything. CPU is an i3 6100 and RAM is 2133MHz:

    Quick note about my setup, some things threw a permissions hissy fit when in separate containers, so Media actually has Emby, Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr and two instances of qBittorrent. A few of my containers do have supplementary programs.

  • An LXC is isolated, system-wise, by default (unprivileged) and has very low resource requirements.

    • Storage also expands when needed, i.e. you can say it can have 40GB but it'll only use as much as needed and nothing bad will happen if your allocated storage is higher than your actual storage.. Until the total usage approaches 100%. So there's some flexibility. With a VM the storage is definite.
    • Usually a Debian 12 container image takes up ~1.5GB.
    • LXCs are perfectly good for most use cases. VMs, for me, only come in when necessary, when the desired program has more needs like root privileges, in which case a VM is much safer than giving an LXC access to the Proxmox system. Or when the program is a full OS, in the case of Home Assistant.

    Separating each service ensures that if something breaks, there are zero collateral casualties.
