This is pretty much how I expected it to go. All we can do now is hope whatever scabs take over are terrible at the job and the ship continues to sink.

I recently found out Nova was purchased by an analytics company. I don't have any proof or solid reason to think they're up to no good necessarily. But I have zero desire to use something as integral as a launcher that's owned by a company like that.

I moved to Neo Launcher and it's been 95% as good as Nova. The knock is just some fine tunings that Nova had, but I'm not having any issues with Neo.

Sorting by hot has been broken for me the entire time I've been here. I usually sort by top day or new

It's crazy to me just how much praise I got from my mother in law when I would immediately change my newborn's diaper or really do anything my wife had asked when we brought the baby home. I signed up for literally all of this when I got married and we decided to have kids.

What a wild world we live in in which doing the absolute bare minimum to support your significant other and your child is met with praise.

It feels kind of silly but I'm also looking forward to buying it again.

Anything not on the linked list I believe can be added if someone from lemmy.one subscribes to a community on whatever instance

Yep, I would have happily paid for the ability to keep using Sync, just like I happily paid for Sync Ultra. I'm probably not in the majority though

Another vote for downgrading. I also started trying out "Connect for Lemmy" and it's been pretty slick.

+1 for Liftoff. I've got 4 apps and wefwef pwa going and I keep finding myself going to Liftoff more and more frequently.

I turned my last two gaming PCs into Proxmox hosts and I have a Hetzner vps that will host something eventually.

2010 Gaming PC:

• Pihole VM (w/ Unbound)
• Docker teet VM
• Piwigo
• Chevereto

Pihole is running on a keepalived vip that acts as my secondary DNS server. Gravity sync keeps it in line with my main Pihole VM (push/pull) and then I have an old rpi also on the same keepalived vip that has gravity sync set up that pulls from the secondary VM

Anything I run as an evaluation or that needs testing also runs here. This machine gets Proxmox updates first as well.

2016 Gaming PC:

• unRAID VM
• Pihole VM (w/ Unbound)
• Nextcloud
• Nginx Proxy Manager
• Gitea
• Dozzle
• Docker container registry
• Diun
• Caddy (moving away from NPM)
• Photoprism
• Jellyfin
• Plex
• Tautulli
• Bookstack
• Heimdall
• Netbox
• Unifi Controller
• Wikijs
• Paperless-ngx
• Uptime kuma
• Gluetun
• Deluge
• Homarr
• Lidarr
• Miniflux
• NZBget
• Radarr
• Sonarr
• Readarr

These are split amongst a few VMs depending on criticality and further broken down to needs (VPN, whether or not I can reboot and not affect my wife/kids, network share requirements.

I'm pretty much always tweaking something and having fun with it

You're thinking of lemmygrad, but the rest is right

I have a base Debian template with a few tweaks I like for all my machines. Debating setting up something like terraform but I just don't spin up VMs frequently enough to wan tto do that. I do have a few Ansible playbooks I run on a fresh server to really get it to where I want though.

I see the anybody but GoDaddy thing a lot too. The controversies page on Wikipedia does a decent job at pointing out some of the reasons people dislike them.

Looking at feature set though, I'm in the same boat as you. Part of it is me being lazy though. When my registrations come up for renewal in a few years I'll take a serious look at porkbun.

Might be pineapple slices.

I've had issues doing it from mobile, but on desktop this is what I do:

• Search the community on this Lemmy Community Browser
• Copy the link (e.g. https://ttrpg.network/c/dungeonworld)
• Come to lemmy.one, click search
• Make sure everything is set to All (type, sub/local/all, community, creator)
• Search the link in the box (https://ttrpg.network/c/dungeonworld)

It sometimes takes a bit to search, but eventually it will and will present you with a link titled [email protected] with a destination of https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected]

And voila. If a community hasn't been subscribed to from your home instance it's my understanding that this is the only reliable way to get it federated. Once you do this search it will show up but no comments or anything come across until someone (e.g. you) actively subscribes to the community.

I did this for dungeonworld so you should see something now, but give it a go for bassment.

There's definitely still some growing pains going on with Lemmy/Kbin right now. Glad you got it sorted 🙂

Same thing here. It's also bled over to Mastodon for me and it's been quite an enjoyable experience.

My mission critical services are:

• Unraid
• Nextcloud
• Gitea
• Nginx Proxy Manager/Caddy
• Pihole

NPM/Caddy accomplish the same goal (reverse proxy with lets encrypt SSL) but I've had much better performance out of Caddy. Things that require web sockets in NPM are very hit or miss but in Caddy they work without any extra tweaking for me.

As for where to start, it depends on what you want to accomplish. Do you want to replace Google Drive/One Drive/Dropbox etc? Then Nextcloud is a fantastic place to start (coincidentally this is what I started with 5ish years ago.)

I prefer to have Proxmox as my hypervisor and then run whatever I need in VMs (and some VMs run docker containers.) Others prefer to have unRAID on baremetal and use their implementation of docker. There's also TrueNAS SCALE which I haven't looked into.

There's also the world of the seven seas, matey, in which case the *arrs are my absolute necessities.

Ultimately, there are lots of options and it comes down to what you want to do with the hardware you have. I started off with a gaming PC and slowly added hard drives and an LSI card (which gets passed through to my unRAID VM.) But really all you need to get started with messing around is to figure out what you want to do first. The hobby has turned into a labor of love for me lol

Thanks for the .atom tip. I've been messing with Diun to try and keep up on updates but I run so many different things it ends up being useless by the time I get around to wanting to actually do the updates. I'll add the ones I super care about to Miniflux though and see if that's more doable for me

I saw something that a fix was in the works, but also that it seems to only affect chrome based browsers. I set it as a PWA from Firefox and have never had the orientation change on me unexpectedly
