  • What Are People Still Doing on X?

  • Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why.

    Jump

  • I use apps on my phone, but have no clue how to troubleshoot them. I have programs on my computer that I hardly know how to use, let alone know the inner workings of. How is running things in Docker any different? Why put down people who have an interest in running things themselves?

    I know you're just trying to answer the above question of "why do it the hard way", but it struck me as a little condescending. Sorry if I'm reading too much into it!

  • How to reverse proxy?

    Jump

  • To access things outside of your LAN (for example from your phone while at the grocery store), each service gets a DuckDNS entry. "service.myduckdns.com" or whatever.

    Your phone will look for service.myduckdns.com on port 443, because you'll have https:// certificates and that all happens on port 443.

    When that request eventually gets to your router and is trying to penetrate your firewall, you'll need 443 open and forwarded to your Debian machine.

    So yes, you have it right.

    Also forward port 80.

  • How to reverse proxy?

    Jump

  • That question is a little bit out of the scope of a forum like this. A question like that would better be answered by the nginx documentation. Sometimes the project documentation might have a blurb about nginx configuration specific for that project. For example, Immich.

    For the most part, you only have to reference the nginx documentation. I've never looked at the Immich config above until now, and my Immich server works great.

    I've had a reverse proxy for years, but the config files are very foreign to me because I use Nginx-Proxy-Manager. NPM makes nginx usable for dummies like me, at the expense of gaining a deeper understanding of how it works. I'm ok with that, but you might feel differently.

  • This photo is taken out of context, though. I mean, he slapped his chest before the salute, and he did it twice in a row... Ah shit nevermind, he's a Nazi.

  • Are there solar powered window blinds?

    Jump

  • I'm not up to date on the current market, but I have Ikea blinds that are battery operated which I control from HA. The batteries are rechargeable, and the batteries themselves have micro-USB ports for charging.

    One option would be to buy these, see what kind of charging port they come with these days, and try to make some physical modifications to jam a USB connector in there. From there, you just have to figure out the solar part. A lot of solar charge controllers have USB ports which should work to charge the battery, but they are clunky and you'd have to mount it on the wall probably.

    For what it's worth, the batteries in these shades last quite a long time... Looking at one of them, I last charged it in September 2024, and it's still at 72%. It goes up/down at least once a day I'd say.

  • My doctor's office now has ads when checking in online

    Despite technology, do you still regularly rely on pen and paper?

    Jump

  • Nope. If it was something that I'd need to refer to later I might go the photo route, but since it's all temporary reference I just toss it in the trash.

    Despite technology, do you still regularly rely on pen and paper?

    Jump

  • I do for my job, where I need to quickly jot down important information. The info I jot down is temporary in nature, and after a particular "job" (I might have a few jobs in a day), the info is useless.

    Paper and pen is great because it's fast, custom, doesn't take up screen space, and you don't have to click buttons to throw it away.

    Jump

  • Yeesh. I'm glad I have uBlock Origin and also AdGuard Home. uBlock Origin is much easier, but both combined means pretty much no ads in my entire house.

  • Lemmy needs more donations

  • GOOD point

  • Lemmy needs more donations

    Jump

  • Yes, I agree. Maybe that will happen, or maybe it won't.

  • That's not quite how a pool of money works.

    Once you fill the gas tank in a motorcycle, you can't pick which molecules of gas go towards acceleration and which ones go towards idling at a red light.

  • Are we to assume you think this is an apology?

  • Lemmy needs more donations

    Jump

  • There are other options... Lemmy development could stop and plenty of people would keep using it in its current atate. Maybe it'd even continue to grow.

    Or maybe the developers quit and another team steps in? Open source projects are never fully tied to a single developer team.

    The low server cost doesn't change anything for me. I'm just a person who won't donate if any amount goes towards keeping that place running under the current admins.

  • Lemmy needs more donations

    Jump

  • Some fraction of my donation would go towards the $30. Any amount of money going from me to .ml, be it $10 or $.00001, is too much.

    I know $30 is "not much", but the amount doesn't change my principles.

    Jump

  • For someone like me who wants to see Lemmy be a place that's owned by users, run by users, and moderated sensibly, what should I do? I have a problem with supporting the lemmy.ml instance.
