Luckily I have auto snapshots on the Jellyfin data dir so restoring it to 10.10.7 was pretty trivial.

Friendly reminder to use snapshotting filesystems for your app data. E.g. ZFS, Btrfs. Then most fuckups can be unfucked with a single zfs rollback.

It’s the FOSS alternative of Plex. If you run Plex or were curious about running Plex, setup Jellyfin. Then setup the arr-stack.

Scaled with Subscribed, then liberally subscribe to any and all communities I think I might be interested in. Check the Scaled + All firehose once in a while and subscribe to new communities if anything new shows up.

I’ve been trying Mastodon for as long as Lemmy but it’s not nearly as good due to the “who to follow” problem and the lack of ability to sort a topic by amount of interaction. E.g. can sub to say #Canada but within that, there’s no good way to surface highly faved or replied-to posts. The upcoming Starter Packs should help a lot because you’d be able to follow bunch people who tend to discuss some topic, which means you’d get the more active posts in your feed by means of those people intercting with it. It doesn’t replace the need for sorting algos but it addresses the problem partially. Perhaps it would be good enough. Circles (same concept) worked wonders in Google+.

We’re here.

Yeah, I wouldn’t bother implementing local storage if I could easily roll a local S3 in the docker-compose.yaml.

Yes

The 5800X is a really fast processor unless you need more cores. 😁

I think the very first step to building resiliency is to sign up for Proton’s cloud services. That will give you access to mail, both from Gmail via forwarding and a new inbox with a separate address. You’d also get a password manager and cloud storage. From there you can start self-hosting alternatives. Probably start with Immich as Google Photos is a big deal and it takes a ton of storage. Proton is a Swiss non-profit so the probability for enshitification is not nearly as high as with Google.

As soon as you have redundant storage, do a Google Takeout and download a full archive of your stuff. This feature may not be there for long given the current corporate climate.

To the surprise of no one here. This is the first thing I think of when a system wants me to upload an ID.

Bluesky pioneered a brilliant solution to this “empty feed problem” in 2024, with the introduction of “Starter Packs”, a feature that allows users to curate and share their own collections of recommended accounts.

Bluesky pioneered, eh? I distinctly remember using a feature called “circles” on Google+ back in 2011. It allowed people to create arbitrary “circles” of people, share them and have others bulk-follow/unfollow the people from a circle. It worked incredibly well and Google+ became a lively social network even with its small userbase at the time.

Independent brand, tools and mission, not company independence. 😊

Not quite. Paralegal and juniors in software are two off the top of my head that are here and affected. Maybe the nums are too small to register.

Skill issue

All the buttons are of the bank’s color.

Oh yeah, I think qemu runs as something with higher priv. On Debian/Ubuntu that’s all pre-setup. You just make yourself a part of the libvirt group and Bob’s your uncle.

Not sure what you mean by QEMU system session. I might be able to shed light if you elaborate.

Use virtiofs. There’s a driver for Windows. Very fast. We use it in production with a different hypervisor and Linux VMs. Different client driver but I suppose the Windows driver should be fine too.

I mean, what you really want long-term is ZFS but the setup becomes significantly less trivial and docs aren’t nearly as abundant and LVM+Btrfs gives you a good subset of the benefits. I recently converted my laptop to ZFS on root and I can now do lightning-fast backups of the system while it’s running. And that’s only really possible if the backup machine also runs ZFS.

Oh on the partitioning side, you probably want LVM with Btrfs on top. LVM makes expansion, migration very easy. Could even turn a single drive into raid later on without much difficulty. Btrfs gives you data integrity checksumming.
