What services do you selfhost?
  • Currently:

    • Caddy (reverse proxy & website)
    • Matrix (Synapse)
    • E-Mail (maddy)
    • Vaultwarden
    • Xonotic server
    • Resonite headless
    • Prometheus + Grafana (internal, monitoring)
    • dnscrypt-proxy & dnsmasq (for internal DNS)
    • gotosocial (testing)
    • cage (kiosk wayland compositor) with kitty and btop for a nice stat display on the device

    All of it running from a phone with Linux :3

    I used to have Nextcloud on this thing, but I found it to be insanely heavy for what it does and not very useful when I can just chuck files to the web server if I want to share them.

  • What Does It Mean To Be A Signal Competitor? - Dhole Moments
  • I think what they mean is that someone unfamiliar with your line of work might even read the entire post and come away with it with the view of "Okay, and?" since the title told them this was going to be about "What Does It Mean To Be A Signal Competitor?"

    The problem there is that what Signal is is different to different people, someone might for example use it like any other chat application, in which case even something like Telegram (ew) or Discord could be an alternative to them.

    Again, if someone is familiar with your blog, they'll know what you mean, but the blog post can be viewed by someone in isolation, in which case it won't be so clear, especially since it's also in relation to moving off of Telegram, which is not an E2EE platform at all by default

    If you could design your own body and hit a button and have it immediately implemented, would you keep your natural self or would you make changes?
  • I think hands with pawpads and some proper claws are a good compromise :3

    I'd be an anthro, so all the benefits of being hooman without being hooman (except sweating, so you'd be able to outrun me eventually)

  • If you could design your own body and hit a button and have it immediately implemented, would you keep your natural self or would you make changes?
  • Depends, if it's only biological changes, I'd get myself two hearts, and minimize the chances of any disease or aging knocking me out, then become an anthro folf because being hooman is overrated

    If cybernetics are allowed, I'd probably get rid of the damn body and just have a virtual one, with my brain connected to some machine deep underground

  • Hi!

    I think it's valid, I would love to be able to do that myself, but I am content with my human body for however long it takes to get there (except the part where it's slowly deteriorating over time)

    Other than that, VR is pretty nice

    [Book Review] Imperium Lupi by Adam Browne
  • It's honestly pretty hard for me to find media I can swallow because of having an anxiety trigger that is so common.

    Most media has depictions of death or loss in it, and I've come across first person descriptions that were so immersive that my heart was actually pounding and I had to take a few days to stop feeling down, and it's not something the authors usually mention explicitly. So in the end I don't really watch or read anything serious these days.

  • Steam's killer feature
  • That's really the thing with Steam in general, from a consumer perspective it's a very good and honest service, it actually adds to the experience of playing games instead of being an annoyance.

    A lot of other stores feel like only shells made around popular titles to promote more stuff and lock people into using them. More launchers won't solve the monopoly of Steam, you'll just end up with as many as there are streaming services.

    That's not the case for GOG and Itch, but there you don't get the same level of experience.

    The future of selfhosted services is going to be... Android?
  • Hmm I think my main concern would be lack of kernel/firmware updates, running something like postmarketOS could partly solve that and still be nearly as easy to set up (just unlock and flash a prebuilt image)

    But firmware is still almost entirely dependent on the vendor, since it's all signed and unpatchable.

    Next issue would be lack of connectivity on a lot of phones, which have gone backwards and include USB 2.0 now. WiFi is an option, but less stable, I personally decided to just go 100Mbps and suffer.

    As for the battery, it would help a lot if phones were designed to boot without one and they were removable, it all worked well for about half a year until I found out I had a spicy pillow and had to replace it with direct power to the board, which made the whole setup much less elegant and required soldering.

    It all comes down to how devices are designed in the end. If someone took the time to make a computer instead of just a phone, and included features that make it useful past its initial life that aren't that popular (display output, microsd, headphone jack), mainlined all the drivers and maintained firmware, that would be a different story.

    But that's not a very profitable model, because it's all about reducing waste and thus selling less. A lot needs to change.

    Tried reasoning with an anti-furry, went about as well as you'd expect
  • Yeah, it's probably worth it to slightly push back against these people irl, because there is a chance that's the signal they need to change, but online they can just copy your responses around and use them to further their crap. They probably love getting attention inside furry spaces like this one.

    Best option is to ignore them, or if you must interact, troll around so it's at least fun for you instead of being exhausting.

    What's this for?

    With the stuff happening around YouTube and some people using different frontends, I thought it'd be nice to have a shared space to post interesting content and bypass the algorithm, which doesn't really work unless you have an account. Personally I'm also a bit tired of having awful videos recommended to me that impact my mental health.

    So feel free to post anything cool you find here so we can have a more organic way to discover content!

    IT Devs of of Lemmy, How do You Cope with Being Forced to Contribute to 'Social Media Pornshow of the Web'™ or Die?
  • Not sure myself, I'm trying to get into some IT jobs (not necessarily programming) that aren't anywhere near social media and are more focused on internet infrastructure, but getting any job is hard when you're starting out and I would like to avoid the evil ones at all cost.

    But just as there is no ethical consumption in capitalism, there's no consensual work, so the values of wherever you end up working won't align with yourself or the other workers fully, it's just a question of degree.

    How the web became unreadable
  • I feel like that's where online payment systems really let us down. If there was an easy universal way to pay a few cents to view content and it wasn't a privacy and fee nightmare, I'm sure people would have no problem doing that. Digicash systems come to mind, I hope they could make a comeback one day.

    But I also fear a lot of the damage could've been done already, kids who grow up with the internet now will probably only remember big tech platforms and may not be very eager to try out something more complicated.

  • 👋 Have you stopped using Google much because of ChatGPT/Bing ?👀
  • Not really (I wasn't using Google directly anyway), I think it fills a slightly different niche than search engines.

    It's good as a fuzzy search for the sum of public knowledge, since it can understand quite complex queries and point you in the right direction, then you can go to regular search engines to find more specific stuff.

    Bing was fun to exploit, but I don't really see why it's useful, it tends to always look up information which means it provides less of its own knowledge, I can do the searches myself better than an LM. Maybe it can provide more concise answers than all the SEO crap everywhere, but that can be avoided by searching on specific websites like reddit.
