  • What were your parent's rules on video games?

    Jump

  • My parents simply didn't buy any games beyond roller coaster tycoon 2, myst 3 exile, and MS combat flight sim WW2. So it didn't really matter what the content was in any other games because that was it.

    I ended up pirating whatever I wanted and my parents didn't seem to care, I think it was more about being opposed to spending money on games. We didn't have any consoles whatsoever.

  • What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday!

  • My homelab has been mostly on autopilot for a while. Synology 6 bay running most lighter weight docker stuff (arrstack, immich, etc) and an Intel nuc running heavy stuff (quicksync transcodes for Plex+jf, ollama). Both connected to digitalocean via WG for reverse proxy due to CGNAT.

    I had my router SSD either die or get corrupted this past week, haven't looked much at the old SSD besides trying to extract the config off of it. I ended up just fresh installing opnsense because I didnt have any recent backups (my Synology and nuc back up to rsync.net, but I haven't gotten around to automated backups for my router since it's basically a plain config, and my cloud reverse proxy which is just a basic docker compose + small haproxy config). Luckily my homelab reaching out to the cloud reverse proxy means there's basically no important config on my router anymore, they just need DHCP and a connection.

    Besides that the arrstack just chugs along on its own.

    I recently figured out I can load jellyfin playback URLs into vrchat video players, either direct stream or through the transcoding pipeline as an m3u8 that live transcodes based on the url parameters you set. This is great because the way watch parties in VRChat works is that everyone in an instance loads the same URL pasted into media players and syncs the playback. That means you need to have a publicly accessible url (preferably with a token of some sort) that can be loaded by an arbitrary number of unique IP addresses simultaneously, which I don't think is doable with Plex.

    I'm now working on a little web app to let me log into Jellyfin, search/browse media, and generate the links with arbitrary or pre-set transcode settings for easy copy/pasting into VRChat. The reason it's needed is that Jellyfin only provides the original file without transcoding when you use the "copy stream" option, so I believe the only way to get a transcoded stream url currently is to set the web interface to specific settings and grab the URL from the network. But that doesn't let you set arbitrary stuff like codecs and subtitle burn in and overriding what it thinks you support. So a simple app to construct the URL will make VRChat watch parties a lot easier.

  • Once when I visited a friend of my partner's, I met a dog they were taking care of that was rescued and hated men. To everyone's shock we ended up spooning within an hour. I guess add that to the pile of signs lmao

  • Back in the day I home hosted shit using http over 443 because my ISP blocked 80 inbound but not 443. It was a little weird but it worked lmao.

  • Hot take: 3D printing toys kinda sucks

    Jump

  • I don't think this is a hot take at all. This is the main reason why I've printed fewer than like 5 non-functional prints in my entire life, and most of them were requests from friends. I make lots of custom mounts, replacement parts, custom cases, shims and jigs, custom measuring tools, etc.

  • Jellyfin over the internet

    Jump

  • Imo that's perfectly fine and not idiotic if you have a static IP, no ISP blocked ports / don't care about using alt ports, and don't mind people who find your domain knowing your IP.

    I did basically that when I had a fiber line but then I added a local haproxy in front to handle additional subdomains. I feel like people gravitate towards recommending that because it works regardless of the answers to the other questions, even their security tolerance if recommending access only over VPN.

    I have CGNAT now so reverse proxy in the cloud is my only option, but at least I'm free to reconfigure my LAN or uproot everything and plant it on any other LAN and it'll all be fine.

  • Jellyfin over the internet

    Jump

  • This is 99% my setup, just with a traefik container attached to my wifeguard container.

    Can recommend especially because I can move apartments any time, not care about CGNAT (my current situation which I predicted would be the case), and easily switch to any backup by sticking my boxes on any network with DHCP that can reach the Internet (like a 4G hotspot or a nanobeam pointed at a public wifi down the road) in a pinch without reconfiguring anything.

  • Is there any way to connect the bsky android app to the atproto.africa relay or a third party appview that uses the atproto.africa relay? I wouldn't mind using bsky more if there was a clone of the android app that doesn't use the bsky relay/appview. Looking at whtwnd it appears to be just web and not native apps?

    I would like to host my own PDS and access bsky through a native app using third party relay+appview, but I haven't seen a way to do this yet.

  • I'm not sure if you realize, but the meme responses are to bump the post activity and increase visibility. I've personally fulfilled a handful of requests there and often the op doesn't update the post, which I personally don't care about - people are struggling and I'm happy to chip in. As it happens, I've given to this particular user twice.

  • What communities or instances do you have blocked to make your Lemmy experience more enjoyable?

    Jump

  • Some foreign language communities don't seem to have their language marked so they still show up despite my language settings, so I blocked them to make things easier.

  • This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!

    Jump

  • Yes this and also scrubs and smart tests. I have 6 14TB spinning drives and a long smart test takes roughly a week, so running 2 at a time takes close to a month to do all 6 and then it all starts over again, so for half to 75% of the time, 2 of my drives are doing smart tests. Then there's scrubs which I do monthly. I would consider larger drives if it didn't mean that my smart/scrub schedule would take more than a month. Rebuilds aren't too bad, and I have double redundancy for extra peace of mind but I also wouldn't want that taking much longer either

  • The Decline of Battery Life

  • It looks like they didn't even need to sort it that way to show a trend, I was curious so I re-sorted it.

  • "Stringy" parts

    Jump

  • Since you want to avoid supports and cleanup, what I would do is modify the model to flatten out the inside of the dome. You can do it easily in most slicers by adding a cylinder part and squishing it until it's more like a disc.

    A flat roof to the inside of the dome will cause it to switch to bridging for that section which won't be perfect but will be a lot better than stringing, especially if you play around with thick bridges.
