  • New to Authentik - Challenges with getting my first application working

    Jump

  • I have self hosted for years using Authentik and have 50 + services. Postiz has been one of the most challenging to spin up and maintain. The documentation is not up to date, the software is constantly changing and I had to tweak lots to get it to work. Even now, it seems to crash after a few days and haven't had the chance to investigate. All these posts I set up didn't go through and now if I turn it back on, it'll release them all in one go before I can get in to stop it, or have to revert to a fresh install...

    The vast majority of services and not like this so don't get disheartened! Try some other ones first them come back to this when more experienced. I recommend Bento PDF, ConvertX, outline wiki, vikunja and immich (if you have the storage space).

    At first, try to stick to software on Authentik's guides (https://integrations.goauthentik.io/). Once you do a few OIDC and forward proxy services you'll get the hang of it.

    When I get a chance I'll share my docker compose SSO settings and authentik redirect uri that worked for me with the caveat that the software crashes for some reason.

  • We're all fine with piracy because of enshittification and the spread of shows/films across too many services. Happily paid for Netflix when it was good but it slowly got worse and worse. If there was one fairly priced single (maybe max across 3) source(s), I'd switch back.

    In terms of stream vs arr's. Quality of video and sound matters to us but not for everything we watch. I actually use Stremio with Debrid for most items, especially my family choosing what to watch. When I want top quality I will use my arr stack. When stremio fails I'll use my arr stack. For TV shows we watch regularly we use the arr stack, partly to remind us when they're released. For TV shows we regularly re-watch I use the arr stack.

  • When other countries say Americans are loud, what does this mean?

    Jump

  • Others here have covered great points, especially that it is a physical loudness and presence.

    I would add that everyone tends to be very knowledgeable about US culture, history, geography, politics etc from TV, films and news but with the "typical Americans" you are talking about, they know almost nothing about other countries or cultures. They might know very high level things like what Buckingham Palace is where the King lives but not much beyond that. The worst of the stereotype just don't care and don't show an interest in learning anything. It's almost like a tick box to see certain things and then that's their holiday done.

    Slow an interest and curiosity and you'll be fine. Look at what the locals are doing and try to copy them. If you go to London, everyone will stand on the right on escalators. Anybody with eyes can see that! Yet you'll find so many people don't look or care so get in the way.

    Also, all countries have stereotypes that apply to most people but not everyone - the British are horrible binge drinkers who go for cheap beers in the sun. Im not like that but can certainly agree with the sentiment after seeing Brits abroad! Just sitting back and noticing goes a long way.

    Shopping and service culture is very different. Most retail staff don't have to welcome everyone, make small talk, fake an interest or have to stand up all day at a checkout to not be lazy. Restaurant staff often seem "rude" compared to America but in reality they're just trying to do their job and we don't always want the American style customer service. I'll ask if I need help!

  • After Traffic Stop for Phone in Right Hand, She Called Out the Problem

    Jump

  • Reminds me when a PCSO (UK police community support officer) knocked on my window and told me off for driving while on my phone. I was literally just scratching my ear. Also, I had managed to forget my phone at home when having to visit a clients office and didn't have time to go back and get it - I was in the car grabbing a quick lunch. I was already annoyed with myself anyway so was livid after that. Told them you shouldn't go around accusing people of things unless you can actually see it. They just doubled down and walked off without apologising or anything.

  • Influence is far more valuable than a public veto. They get full access to laws before they are passed and access to senior politicians through things like the privy council.

    This leads to several carve out of laws including tenant protection laws, human rights/discrimination laws, environmental laws etc.

  • Replacing Tailscale with a 2-VPS WireGuard setup (No port forwarding)

    Jump

  • Awesome idea then, I'll have to kook into it.

  • Replacing Tailscale with a 2-VPS WireGuard setup (No port forwarding)

    Jump

  • Just to clarify for my simple brain - vps1 has just 80/443 open, vps2 just has a wireguard port open (51825 or whichever). Vps2 has no domain pointing to it's public IP, vps has your domain pointing to it. Vps1 and home server have wireguard configs pointing to the vps2 public IP, so punch through automatically. Is that all correct?

    I think I have the same setup but with vps1 + 2 combined but that means it's public IP is easily found by the domain (one includes a public business website) and has WG ports open (although my understanding is this in itself is not an issue as WG gives no reply)

    Have you opened an SSH port on both vps1 and vps2 for backup or happy to rely on wireguard? Thinking about it, you could open up the port on the vps but use the providers firewall to block the port - if needed can login to their site, open the port and then SSH in - would this work? They have KVMs for emergencies but just trying to think of worst case scenarios.

  • Game Library for Friends and Family

    Jump

  • Good point, Romm can integrate well with MuOS, Playnite and other client side software you and others can install onto their actual devices. I've used Playnite on my devices to manage the emulator side and download the ROMs from the ROMs server.

    In theory, you could also try a sunshine server and moonshine client to steam the games from you're server but guessing it would only work well over a local network, not over the internet to friends

  • Convinced my mum to splash out on an Amstrad Emailer. It looked really cool and could store your phonation, and had emails.

    3 months later, my Dad is checking the landline phone bill which is expensive for some reason. Turns out the Amstrad phones a premium rate phone lime every night. Managed to switch it off but then the whole thing stopped working saying it needs to do that to work.

    Nowhere did they mention this, or at least it was not clear to both of us. Absolutely dodgy fuckers.

  • Those in countries with universal healthcare, what's it like?

    Jump

  • UK here too and agree with the everything but the national insurance part is a common misconception. The amount you pay in national insurance has no direct tie to benefits or the nhs, and has not been connected for a long time.

    All national taxes go into a big pot which the government allocates any way it wants in the budget. For example, the recent class 1 employers national insurance rate increase from 13.8% to 15% does not mean that increase in funding goes directly to the NHS.

    The amount of years that you paid national insurance for in your life does effect the amount of pension you received. Once you've worked x number of years, you receive the full pension available. The amount you paid has no impact. In fact, you just have to have been paid a salary of the lower threshold, which means technically you don't pay any national insurance, for that year to be marked as qualifying. Lots of owner managed business pay themselves salary of the lower threshold (£6.5k), then pay the rest in dividends - results in them meeting the pension eligibility for that year, pays no national insurance, pays no income tax, and then pays the lower income tax rate for dividends.

    Fun fact, once you hit the legal retirement age, you stop paying national insurance even if you carry on working. This makes it a regressive tax!

    Successive governments have not made this clear because it is politically easier to raise national insurance rates ("helping the NHS") than income taxes, even though income tax is a more progressive tax and it all goes to the same pot.

  • For those of you with a living room or multiple rooms; do you have a TV in your bedroom? Why or why not?

    Jump

  • Yes because it's another room we are able to chill in separately and it was my very old TV before I decided to upgrade to 4k. We have a living room but on some occasions we want to watch our own shows. It gets used about once a week. It's not used before bed. I don't see the issue if you're able to use it without fucking up your life. We don't have a TV in the children's rooms. We have a kitchen with a small dining table - no mobile devices allowed so makes sense not to have a tv. We don't have any other rooms.
