Wow, imagine how upset they’d be if they listened to the rest of the lyrics!

I have a single Raspberry Pi 3b as a local file/media server running Jellyfin. I’m also running BOINC and seeding torrents of various Linux distributions. External HDD for storage, plus a thumb drive for the local media and another for the torrents so it only has to spin up when someone’s actually using it.

It’s not super-fast by any means, but it’s fast enough to listen to music over my LAN, which is the main thing I need it to do quickly. Though eventually I plan on setting up a better NAS on something with faster I/O.

If I was only using it for file sync, maybe. Though as it happens, the Linux desktop file sync client works fine on here, and I can work on files locally.

But that doesn’t help for things like, say, account settings, or tasks, or getting the right caldav URL to be able to plug it into a local client.

I’m using it for multiple services, not just one, and while some have apps available, not all do, and some features aren’t supported in the corresponding app.

I’m using Nextcloud for a lot more than just file sharing. Calendar, contacts, tasks, RSS reader sync, etc.

Same. Thunderbird now has native support for CalDAV and I use DAVx5 to sync it with my Android devices.

I’ve been using it for a while now. Currently on the “main” instance, cross-posting reviews to my website.

I used names of fictional robots, androids and self-aware computers (though I avoided HAL for obvious reasons) for a long time. These days my wife and I usually go with an indirect reference to the function or hardware - Ex. a device named Anathema, or a Raspberry Pi server named Marie (as in Marie Callendar, a former local pie/restaurant chain). I had an expendable frankenputer for tinkering that I called RedShirt.

Currently trying to come up with a name other than Chris for the PineTab 2.

Edit to add: Places I’ve worked have used Roman emperors, drink brands, Simpsons characters, and of course basics like “IIS1” “MAIL4” “QA-3” and so on. Some would add numbers to the names sequentially, others would use the last octet of the IP address.

At least until the NUCs run out, now that Intel’s discontinuing them

I tried setting up both for a local music server last year, and found Plex’s cloud requirements and constant upselling were more of a pain than it was worth. Jellyfin was the one I kept.

Similar experience here, esp. with the comments.

I think the tutorial posts are a great idea! Looking forward to the first one.

Reminder to self: buy physical copies of the shows I want to watch again.

Finally! That’s one of the things that’s made it hard to deal with following a lot of people on Mastodon (to the point that I almost set up new alts just to categorize who I was following!)

I’m sticking around here, but then I wasn’t on /r/startrek to begin with

I don’t know if this will work, and I’m going to have to try it, but Mastodon has a feature when looking at someone’s profile to ignore boosts. My understanding of how Lemmy federated to other platforms is that the comments appear as boosts by the community, so turning on that option might do what you want.

(This is also why I stopped following communities through Mastodon, but I only thought of the no-boost idea just now when I saw your comment!)

Edit: It doesn’t seem to work. The top-level posts don’t show up in Mastodon either, which makes sense, because now that I look at it again, they’re also federated as boosts.

Yep. DigitalOcean specifically recommends SendGrid as an alternative: https://docs.digitalocean.com/support/why-is-smtp-blocked/

KeePass, mainly.

Makes sense.

I’d also think that establishing relations, by itself, wouldn’t be considered a violation in this case. By that time the Horta already knew about the Federation presence and there was no way to isolate that knowledge. So the hearing would mainly focus on the initial contact (digging into Horta territory, destroying the eggs) as a possible violation, with a side question of whether the negotiations afterward were carried out in accordance with it. (Probably yes)

So that leaves the miners’ initial incursion and determining whether it was resolved sufficiently (in this case, probably deferring to the Horta).

I just commented on this in another thread: https://lemmy.world/comment/76011

TL;DR: The server-to-client interactions on Lemmy are a lot heavier than the server-to-server interactions, so even if you’re just using your own server to interact with communities on other servers, it should still take load off of the servers you would have been using directly.
