Running minipc with immich pointed to NAS drive with photos. I had issues with uploading files in the background on previous version but it seems to be fixed right now.
I had issues uploading big files to it due to it stopping uploading once app is minimized. As long as app is open on screen, it would upload files with no interruption. New version seems to fix this issue for me.
My TV was sending so much telemetry (blocked by piHole) that from time to time it would freeze and/or lag to the point when it is unusable. I turned wifi off - never had any issues yet.
Also, it TV had over 80% of requests off all my devices in a half a year. It basically tried to ping home every 5 seconds for days.
I'm a newbie to the whole selfhosting thing. Been doing NAS+minipc for past 6 months with a few services running. 2 days ago I embarresed myself.
So, I been running 5 services on nginx proxy manager. But I heard that NPMplus is slightly better and can renew certs automatically. I had transferred settings from NPM to NPMplus by hand off the photo and for some reason NPMplus couldn't work with services ran on NAS. I went back to NPM and haven't touched the issue til last Sunday.
During troubleshooting I found out that my dumb ass didnt pay attention and put '':'' instead of ''." . So 192.168.xxx.xx became 192:168:xxx:xx and that was the reason I spent whole day troubleshooting the issue.
Next goal: go back to my homeland and set Pi3 at my parent's place to be my VPN so I can setup an arr stack and automate media downloads in a way that govt. of my current residence couldn't put a deep hole in my wallet.
I have just realized that in of 2020 TikTok was about to get banned in US by Trump administration and he even signed an executive order for the ban. But since he lost elections later that year, ban was reversed by Biden administration.
THE FUCKING SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED IN REVERSE IN 2025 when Biden's admin ordered it to be banned in january and it was unbanned (postponed ban) 3 times with the last one lasting until September.
I call extreme sus on this one. There are weird powers around tiktok that are/were important in info-war and elections in general.
The reason all these delusional posts getting even upvoted to begin with is due to many like-minded people are gathered together in the same sub. As an example, reddit's r/democrats and r/republicans. One is clearly more sane than another, yet try to say something in a wrong sub - get downvoted to oblivion. But if you spill your delusional shit in a r/republicans - upvotes galore and comments of praise.
Facebook groups are the same shit. And so is Lemmy. One thing in hexbear that is allowed could/will be the reason you got a ban in .world. Up/Downvotes cant fix that.
tl;dr Village idiots can join together to accumulate their own conspiracies in a big ass circlejerk, and social media has no power to stop it.
DNS sinkhole doesnt help with youtube ads but UBO does. DNS doesn't help with twitch ads and neither UBO does. Why is that youtube doesn't do the same what twitch does?
On a side note, my ads on twitch are basically "ad is in progress" screen and not an actual ad. And lately YT has couple of seconds with no video in the beginning as if it loads (1Gbit connection) but eventually loads up and plays with no interruptions after.
The amount of comments thinking that Lemmy is totally not like a typical social media is absurd.
Guys, we only don't have major tracking of users here.That's it! Everything else is the fucking same shit you'd see on facebook. The moment Lemmy gets couple tens of millions of users, we gonna become 2nd facebook.
I live in a big city of an decently big country. Here we got many of them particularly around large train stations. I never give to them any money.
Reason is - this country has a safety system in order to help people in need like this. If homeless people go against the rules (crime, drugs, abuse of the system) they get kicked out of the shelters. They get help with all sorts of things there and if they really are in dire situation and want to get back to normal life, they would get all necessary help they ever need and more. If they got kicked out, I believe they didn't really wanted to get back their normal life. And in some cases, I see just youth smoking weed on the side of the street and begging for money. They are not in need, they have families and homes. They just collect money for weed. Fuck those guys, really.
I give money to street performers all the time. This brings life and color to the city.
I am freshly into selfhosting and am running Beelink s12 pro with Jellyfin on. Ripped tons of DVDs and about to get blu ray drive for ripping. Never paid a cent to Netflix or any other streaming sites. Dunno why my wife pays entry subscription to Netflix. Cant watch FHD or higher, got ads, cant mirror screen to a TV with entry subscription, no choice in what movies to watch, shows from competitors are not on netflix. Fuck this shit, man. I pay for DVDs and blurays anyday as long as I can chose what to watch and to keep it to myself.
Got recently raspberry pi 3. Planning to setup private VPN in my homeland where pirating is not an issue yet.
Latest Spotify crackdowns on revanced apps and a very recent GrayJay plugin issues made me look into Spotify cracking scene. I found an app that works. But for how long?
Even tho I live where type F/C is common, I know that type G is the best. Reason is that ground pin always connects first and disconnects last. This is an ultimate way to make ground pin.
Also, type F/C and some other types sometimes doesn't have ground. There is literally not a single type G plug/socket without a ground. Simply safer.
