Same. Like, I'm relatively confident in the systems I have running, but not so confident that I'd trust them with my most important passwords.

I'm relatively competent installing server software, but the Lemmy instructions completely flummoxed me. Their docker instructions just don't work.

I ended up using the ansible docker scripts and filling out the blanks because I'm unfamiliar with ansible.

If this is as good as it sounds, you're doing everyone a massive favour.

I use NGINX because it's what I'm familiar with. If I was starting again, I would probably use Caddy.

The Detectorists is incredible. It's my go to comfort watch.

I 100% agree here. Each instance should focus on a single topic. It makes no practical sense that there are multiple identical communities across different servers.

All true. And RPIs aren't even cheap anymore. It's much more cost effective to buy a refurbished lease PC and get the extra processing power, expandability & reliable storage. I run everything on a HP elitedesk and it didn't cost much over £150.

Hi! Count me in as a beta tester. I'm willing to suffer!

Try a delivery test to an Outlook / Exchange server. I'll be amazed if it goes through.

Fair!

Out of interest, did you get a reasonable scrap price?

I was talking to someone the other day that said they got nearly £1k for theirs. Last time I scrapped anything (years and years ago) I had to pay them to take it away because scrap prices were so low.

I've never understood why we don't build more houses from timber.

PiVPN is great. Works on just as well on a standard server with Ubuntu.

I read an amusing anecdote about him this morning:

When he was awarded the $236,000 MacArthur “genius” grant in 1981, he carried on cutting his own hair and preparing meals on a hot-plate. And he only ever signed 250 copies of his Pulitzer Prize-winning 2006 novel The Road, all of which he gave to his youngest son John. When the boy turns 18, McCarthy said, “he can sell them and go to Las Vegas or whatever”.

I enjoyed The Road. Couldn't get on with any of his others though.

Same technique for railway crossings.

Wallabag is what most people recommend, but I couldn't get on with it.

First I've heard of Boolwyrm. Looks neat!

I'm not really sure why I'm paying OpenAI this point.

You need to change the line starting in your docker compose file and make sure it reflects where the nginx internal config file actually is.

Mine is in the same folder as the compose file, so it's ./nginx_internal.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Using 'hours of use' as the metric, it would be Plex. The ones I use every day are Libreddit, TT-RSS, Huginn and Reddit-RSS - and my own journalling app and pocket clone.
