  • 'Someone's butthurt': Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hits back at Elon Musk's conspiracy theory

    Jump

  • It's not going to do much at this point, but I'll give you a +1. I'm all in on AOC, but this isn't even an article. No insight, no attempt to discern any truth, and barely even able to contextualize the tweets. It's trash for clicks.

  • Looking for a good RSS Reader

    Jump

  • I installed Capyreader for the capybara, but stayed for how nice the app is.

  • How do you not feel overwhelmed using Mastodon?

    Jump

  • I think a lot of the responses here get at the fact that Mastodon does take a little time and work to curate a feed that you enjoy.

    I run a little instance with a few active users, so I follow them. I don't tend to follow hashtags, but I check them out now and then to look for interesting posters. Browse the FediFollows account and https://fedi.directory/ . Use a hashtag or two when you post sometimes and check out the accounts that share or like your post.

    Follow accounts liberally, but unfollow just as liberally they just don'tdo it for you. Eventually, you'll end up with something that you enjoy.

  • Need tips for moving forward

    Jump

  • Everyone has said Nextcloud, and I agree.

    I will also add though that I keep Nextcloud on a VPS rather than hosting it at home. Easier for me in terms of backups and storage, plus I don't have to worry about a kid or my wife unplugging the PC to charge a phone or something. 🙃

  • Secure Storage That Won't Die With my Server

    Jump

  • My reasoning and setup are different, but I'm also looking at DAS solutions this week for a media server.

  • What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday!

    Jump

  • After just about a month of hosting some things on a Raspberry Pi 4, I think it's about time to work on repurposing this mini PC that hasn't been doing much the last few years and keep growing my services.

    To that end, can anyone point me to a good, thorough guide to getting going with Sonarr? I installed it, but then realized I needed to add a client and Prowlarr and I feel like I just started in the middle.

  • Starting to self host

    Jump

  • I agree with this. I'm running CasaOS on a Pi4. Having the initial ease of one click installs gives you a great start, then you'll start to find that you need to manage some port assignments, then you'll start learning about Docker environment variables, then you'll be managing custom installs.

    Awesome-Selfhosted is a great resource. Just browse and try something interesting.

    My own recent journey went like this:

    Run AdGuard Add DokuWiki, Navidrome, Mealie Set up Cloudflare Tunnels Add FreshRSS, Homer, SearchXNG

    I also have Nextcloud on a VPS, but the fun is on the Pi.

  • What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread

    Jump

  • Thanks! It just threw an error at me when I launched it, but I'll see what I can do. Based of the warnings in the admin panel, there isn't anything critical for me to address, I just hate that orange.

  • What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread

    Jump

  • Since it's winter and I mostly don't want to leave my house, I busted out an unused Raspberry Pi 4b a couple weeks ago. Started with CasaOS and AdGuard. Have now added a few other services including Navidrome to serve up a lot of local-area music for myself and friends. Got a Cloudflare tunnel set up, then some authentication through CF as well. And finally secured a static IP from my ISP. This is the farthest along I've ever gotten with any of this and it's been going great. Nearly every hurdle I've encountered I've been able to work through.

    Two things causing me grief today though:

    1. I also have Nextcloud hosted on a VPS and I cannot get to the point of running occ commands. First it wasn't found, then no php cli, then just errors. I gave up.
    2. I'm using Homer because it's just so simple, but the theming and CSS is driving me nuts. Sure, I can change colors, but will this little bar in the neon theme change from 4em to 100% for me? NOPE. Override fonts? Nosir. All good though.

  • Happy #GlobalSwitchDay

  • I've been looking for something to track my physical book, music, and game collections. An instance of this might work nicely. Thanks!

  • This is an excellent explanation! Nice job simplifying it.

  • Salesforce Will Hire No More Software Engineers in 2025, Says Marc Benioff

    Jump

  • I'm a Salesforce admin. On a personal level I like it because it's kind of a mess and I can spend time on random crap. That's not to say that I think it's GOOD.

    Last week I had some issue and decided to give Agentforce a chance before opening a case. It rephrased a standard help page I had already read. I rephrased my question with more detail. It rephrased the same help page again. I opened a case.

    Turns out what I was seeing was a known issue. Support gave me a link to the page and a fix was already pending. So the bot that they are using for case deflection doesn't appear to search known issues at all. If you're trying to get everyone to buy into a product, your implementation of it should be strikingly good at what it's supposed to do.

  • Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon?

    Jump

  • I was really impressed by this feature when I signed up recently! It baffles me a little bit to see newspapers and things not taking advantage of it.
