Not something so complex that it requires docker. Not something that requires you to install a separate database. Not something that depends on redis and other external services.

This comment is a bit silly. Databases just make sense for many services, although many could just use sqlite which would be fine (and many do). Redis etc is usually optional and might increase performance in some cases.

I wouldn’t be a fan of something requiring docker, but it’s often just the easiest way to deploy these types of services (and the easiest way to install it as a user).

Anyway, I’ll echo that clear, up-to-date documentation is nice. I shouldn’t have to search through actual code or the bug/issues section to find current information (but I get this is very challenging). And I’d rather projects didn’t make Discord a source of documentation (especially not the primary one).

I’ll add that having a NixOS module is a big plus for me, but I don’t expect the developers themselves to maintain this.

Beyond the other comments is your public IP on ipinfo.io etc something like 100.64.X.X or 10.X.X.X?

If so, you’re behind a CG-NAT and raw wireguard will not work. I say this so you don’t waste time configuring something that will never work. Ignore the below if you have a real public IP.

Some ISPs will allow you to get a real dynamic ipv4 address for free, or you can configure ipv6 but any clients that you connect will also need public ipv6 support.

Otherwise, consider tailscale/headscale/netbird (SaaS or on a VPS) which have NAT traversal support.

I remember.

Agreed. Leave immediately to other services, and tell them why you’re leaving. It might not make a dent, but you’ll be doing the right thing at least.

Well Gaetz was blocked so it does seem they do have some sort of limit (even if that limit is deep underground).

Seems fine. I have an affordable NAS that mostly serves files and has a few containers, and a second server using one the Lenovo Tiny machines that has many more services and a lot more RAM. And it works well.

Wireguard does have a KeepAlive option, but I found it didn’t seem to help in practice.

Could be bugs with the client, which is pretty barebones.

It may since have been fixed, but the Android client didn’t handle IP changes well in my experience. From my understanding, it only checks DNS when it initially connects, and so if the public IP changes the connection just stops working. This might be fine if the public ip changes infrequently or if you frequently connect and disconnect rather than leave the client always on, but not so much otherwise.

Tailscale (and headscale) handles this gracefully, and you also get the nice NAT traversal features so no need to worry about CGNATs which are becoming more common.

When Trump won and starting talking about how unlikely it was, I half-expected him to break out into evil laughter ala Sideshow Bob in this scene. Which certainly would have been more honest.

I remember when they’d accuse everyone of being NPCs, then use the same collection of vapid catchphrases ad nauseum.

And then complain that all of the snowflake liberals don’t want to talk to them anymore.

I use SearxNG’s redirect functionality to redirect all reddit links in the search results to a Redlib instance. It won’t affect URL bar links but that’s okay, I don’t directly go to Reddit anymore.

A number of the technical subreddits made their own forums on discourse, and the subreddits are either closed or in a zombie state.

There’s a dearth of options, honestly. I was tempted to write “none of the above” for the chat app section.

They’ve moved on to Proxmox and NixOS for self hosting/NAS purposes. I don’t think OMV is being intentionally ignored, they just don’t use it anymore themselves.

Ah, Poe’s law and all of that.

Only thing I’m missing is the ability to only download a subset of videos from a channel. There is a workaround by making a playlist but I believe that requires a Google account.

No, evidence is evidence. Not all things are a debate between two or more legitimate interpretations.

Saying “climate change is real and caused by humans” or the “sky is blue” are statements of fact, and not up for debate.

Check status here. It looks like it may be a little better than the past, but I’m not sure I’d trust it.

An alternative approach I use is mergerfs + snapraid + snapraid-btrfs. This isn’t the best idea for a system drive, but if it’s something like a NAS it works well and snapraid-btrfs doesn’t have the write hole issues that normal snapraid does since it operates on r/o snapshots instead of raw data.

No reason not to. Old reputations die hard, but it’s been many many years since I’ve had an issue.

I like also that btrfs is a lot more flexible than ZFS which is pretty strict about the size and number of disks, whereas you can upgrade a btrfs array ad hoc.

I’ll add to avoid RAID5/6 as that is still not considered safe, but you mentioned RAID1 which has no issues.
