Recommend me a good and cheap VPS.
  • Contabo and NetCup are really cheap. But only if you use their shared VPS option. If you are lucky the CPU steal is low.

  • Audiobookshelf media sorter
  • I sirt it manually. I just rip a CD, edit its metadata with MusicBrainz Picard then place all the MP3's in a folder for just the book and then move it to the folder of the author.

    Once scanned by audiobookshelf I modify the metadata a bit more and then let audiobookshelf combine the book to one file.

  • The user-repairable Fairphone 4 is finally coming to the US
  • GrapheneOS probably won't. Their main dev literally jokes about the phones security. While GrapheneOS was originally made for Pixels.

  • What if a Reddit admin participated here?
  • Probably welcoming, not every Reddit employee stands behind the decisions made by their management.

    If they enjoy to browse Lemmy more then Reddit it doesn't automatically make them unloyal to their job or a enemy of Lemmy.

  • What mobile OS do you use?
  • /e/OS it is degoogled but most of the "Google" applications have been replacedby great opensource alternatives or adapted. The app store still allows us to install apps from the playstore but anonymously.

  • How do you guys back up your server?
  • I use duplicacy to backup to my local NAS and to Storj.io. In case of a fire I'm always able to restore my files. Storj.io is cheap, easy to access from any location and your files are stored and duplicated on multiple different locations.

  • Lemmy Instances Community | For sharing and finding Lemmy instances
  • Great! It is important for the existence of Lemmy that there is no central server.

    Here are the other links:

  • YSK: If you want faster and less buggy User experience, move to a smaller instance that is hosted close to you.
  • By having an actual policy. That lists the usage of data, 3rd parties and the responsibilities of the instance owner.

  • Instagram’s Twitter competitor launches July 6th, according to the App Store
  • Well, if they launch. I will certainly block then from interacting with the content of my instances' users.

  • Europe has fallen behind America and the gap is growing
  • What a journalistical mistake, you can't directly compare a group of countries with a single country. In this case fallen behind means in money. Which is quite a bad assumption.

  • Dutch slap new restrictions on chips exports to China
  • The Netherlands/ASML has no choice. The US is threathening NL with trade allegation, because the US fears the Chinese's technical advances.

  • Why is the most popular computer os closed source while the most popular mobile os is open source?
  • Well, Windows isn't that popular in the computer scene. Linux is by far more popular for servers, IoT devices (payment terminals, heartrate monitors...) and critical systems. But Windows has an edge in the PC scene. But to be honest a Apple Mac is also in the formfactor PC. These charts are always way of, just because their definition and monitoring techniques are not trustworthy.

    The problem with Linux: it is opensource and free, and everyone can rebrand it. But at the same time everyone wants to make a euro out of it. There are a lot of companies that misuse its license by closing the source.

  • Audiobook Hosting
  • Audiobookshelf is da bomb! You are going to have a great time while installing it, using it and sharing it with friends and family.

    If you need help just send me a DM.

  • Lemmy resembles the old reddit experience so well that they even emulate the old reddit server performance
  • The top three instances a currently overcrowded. I recommend checking out a smaller instance (for example https://laguna.chat).

    Smaller instances are still able to access to same content. But it is just a different server that processes the content.

  • YSK: If you want faster and less buggy User experience, move to a smaller instance that is hosted close to you.
  • Page loads are snappy and lightning fast at laguna.chat :). Open signups and open for new communities. Hosted in Germany and GDPR ready. https://laguna.chat

  • So, libreddit and nitter are dead, what now?
  • I have no idea, they probably found a way to simulate the mobile app during the authentication fase.

  • Anything else to consider when hosting a Lemmy instance in the EU?
  • First of all, I'm not a lawyer or a legal consultant, just a instance admin that wants to make sure that his instance complies.

    Lemmy does not store any PII (birthdates, legal names, addresses,securitynumbers). But users are able to share whatever they want. And that can be a problem.

    Check out my instances legal page: https://Laguna.chat/legal

    In the future I want to make sure that my instances content can only be shared by GDPR respecting instances.

  • So, libreddit and nitter are dead, what now?
  • Teddit doesn't hold any data. It's "data" was reddit. It's developers think that when you use the free key for 60 requests per second, that it will probably be enough.

    Libreddit is trying to use the private Reddit API . Which is currently being used by the official Reddit app.

    Running Teddit using a free key seems fairly usable, as long as you are self hosting an instance. Libreddits's approach tries to bring back the old situation

    Projects will deviate and find ways to be useful again.

  • Europese Commissie presenteert voorstel voor digitale euro

    De Europese Commissie heeft vandaag een voorstel gepresenteerd voor een digitale euro. De munt krijgt de status van wettig betaalmiddel, is online en offline te gebruiken en zal niet programmeerbaar zijn. Brussel claimt zelfs dat offline betalingen met de digitale euro een "soortgelijk privacyniveau" bieden als met contant geld het geval is. Volgens vice- commissievoorzitter Dombrovskis is de digitale euro niet bedoeld om cash te gaan vervangen en blijft contant geld bestaan.
