The complete guide to building your personal self hosted server for streaming and ad-blocking powered by Plex, Jellyfin, Adguard Home and Docker.
This is a freaking great guide. I wish I had this wonderful resource when I started selfhosting. Thanks for this.
People might also want to have a look at pihole as an alternative to adguard for add blocking. It is awesome.
I prefer homepage over heimdall. It is more configurable, but less noob friendly.
Jellyseer is a fork of overseer that integrates very well with jellyfin. Reiveer is promising for discovering and adding content.

Sync Ultra OTP is available for 109,99 €
I know I'm cheap and I know this app is great and is a lot of work but fuck, this is expensive. Subscriptions are the worst model capitalism can offer. And the one time payment price is ridiculous, I can't afford that.

ownCloud becomes part of Kiteworks
Fuck me. I switched to owncloud yesterday because I can't stand nextcloud anymore.
Owncloud feels lighter, faster, and just works.
Whhhhhhyyyyyy ?

What does the fear of being judged by others hold you back from doing that you would otherwise do?
I do whatever the fuck I want, unless it is unpolite or could hurt somebody's freedom.
I learnt that, as I don't give a shit about what people are doing, they must also don't give a shit either. People just care about themselves most of the time. The day I realized that, I had a strong freedom feeling.
Having kids multiplied this attitude by 1000 and actually, I see people smiling and interacting with us while we're fooling around.
GO PLAY WITH FUCKING PUDDLES WEARING PINK PANTIES ON YOUR HEAD MY DUDE ! I might join you.

Are we committed to Lemmy? or would we move if something better comes along?
Come on, give it some time. It's coming a long way, and devs are working their ass off to deliver some quality updates.
Also, there are a dozen apps in the works for iOS and Android that are to be released soon, if that's not already the case. So you should have more choice to pick a better experience browsing lemmy in the coming days.

Anyone know of any total open source servers with no admin or mod interference in communities? Many of us left reddit due to mod micromanagement of content and want a truly open source platform
Open-source and unmoderated are 2 very different things.
Lemmy is open source so you got this already.
As for an instance without an admin, there can't be such a thing. An instance has to be hosted on some server and this server belongs to somebody that has to maintain it.
A community without a mod doesn't exist, as a community has to be founded by someone to exist.
Now, do you really want a community without an active mod ? Well if you want spam, bots and shitty content, sure.
If your problem is power tripping mods, just leave the communities with such mods.
Or you can run your own Lemmy instance and see how it goes.

What's the best petty revenge for a neighbour that constantly plays loud music but doesn't answer the door when you try asking them to turn it down?
Reply in thread
I'm a sound engineer and I had awful neighbors. So I tried that to calm the monster of a kid my upstairs neighbors failed to raise.
I tried every pure frequencies from 12 000 kHz to 20 000 kHz with 1000 Hz steps at absurdly loud volumes.
The problem here was the air in our different apartments acting as an isolant, the material between our apartments, and the fact that this kid and his parents where deaf fucking morons.
In the end, the proper solution was to move. That worked as intended as I don't hear them anymore.

Feeling like Privacy is a lost war.
First, remember that you're not fighting this war alone. The most important part is educating people who are curious about it around you.
Second, it's not about winning; it's about being the biggest pain in the ass possible for people making money off our privacy.
Keep fighting in the way that suits you best.

LASIM - Migrate Your Lemmy Accounts Between Instances
While this would be an awesome feature, Lasim doesn't "migrate your Lemmy account between instances", it copies "blocked users, blocked communities, followed communities, and most profile settings" between accounts on the same or different instance. Which, if you ask me, is already pretty cool.

Is it legal to write a piracy tutorial?
Short answer: it depends on what you write, where you are, and who hosts it. High-level discussion is usually legal. Step-by-step guidance or facilitation of piracy can trigger liability regardless of disclaimers or missing links.

Official Statement from Lemmy.world admin about community removal
Absurd. None of these communities are even hosted on lemmy.world.
lemmy.world has more downtime than France's administration anyway,. so at least we can still sail the high seas while they're down.

Who / why puts a downvote on almost each new post on r/selfhosted?
Unfortunately, I erased all my content on Reddit, but I asked this same question a year back on /r/selfhosted. It was hugely upvoted, revealing that I wasn't alone wondering why.
Tldr: the community is toxic to newcomers and people learning. There is a veteran circlejerk only feeding on very advanced discussions and novelties. There is very little room for curious, anthousiasts and people stuck in the anomalous state of knowledge. I wrote a post precisely about this a few days ago.
Anyway, I find this community, and Lemmy in general, a lot more friendly and rewarding to be a part of. I really hope it will stay this way.

Defederate from threads/meta
Lemmy.ml just preemptively did it. I think lemmy.world also did it earlier but you'll have to double check that.

Finally a good self-hosted calendar frontend
Reply in thread
Fair point about screenshots.
Just to clarify though: I'm not the developer, I'm just someone who has been following the project for a while and wanted to give it a bit of visibility here because I think it's promising.
Since it's still a young project, the README is understandably a bit rough around the edges. My post was mainly meant as a heads-up for people interested in self-hosted calendar tools, not as a finished product showcase.
That said, constructive suggestions like adding screenshots are definitely useful, opening an issue, like @[email protected] did, or contributing to the README would probably help the project more than my post ever could 🙂
