  • 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.


  • 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.




  • Thanks, and surprisingly I feel like I’ve been doing alright all things considered. It was a tough couple of days at first and felt pretty traumatic losing someone who I saw face to face for years, especially when there was never any indication of any health issue, and they’re the lynchpin holding together our small team - it’s pretty hard to think about how we all wished each other a good weekend on Friday and that was it. But I’ve been trying my best to process in a healthy way and come to terms with the reality that anyone can be taken away at any moment - as if life were a battlefield. This is the first loss I’ve really experienced as an adult and never really had to face that reality. I also find it somewhat comforting that it’s probably unlikely that all the future losses I experience will be so sudden, as well as the fact that our team is all going through this together in our own ways.

    I’m lucky that I have a great partner as well as the sweetest cat who is keeping me on my routine. Even if I’m not actually being productive with work, just going through my daily routine and getting used to seeing only the faces of the rest of the team feels like it’s helping. Even making my morning coffee makes me sad because I’m used to seeing my boss shortly after, but I guess the more I do it the less painful it’ll be. I initially wanted to take a week completely off, but part of me feels like showing up on zoom every morning is helping my coworkers as much as it helps me to maintain a sense of normalcy and adjust to how things are going to be.

    We basically can at my job, but despite our coworker/manager passing away over the weekend it still feels like we’re all obligated to show up to our daily zoom check ins because everyone is trying to process and seeing faces every day probably helps. If it weren’t for that I’d call in sad for the week.




  • 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

    So if I post a meme to c/tenforward, people on mastodon and pixelfed can see it if they subscribe to @tenforward, is that correct?

    Yep! I’m not sure how it works for pixelfed but I think I remember something about text posts so I would assume it works the same there.

    Afaik the way to tell if a user is on Mastodon vs Lemmy/mbin/etc is if the instance part of their username is a path instead of a bare domain, it’s something like user@instance.com/users or something that includes “user” in the path, I can’t remember exactly and I can’t find an example but if you look at usernames enough you’ll find one.

    Edit: Actually maybe that changed because I found a comment from Mastodon and it looks normal just with a domain that you can see is a mastodon instance when you visit it, so idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Edit 2: I double checked in the sync app and it looks like users from mastodon show up as someone@instance.com/users/someone so it looks like it’s a UI specific thing

    It all just depends on whether it makes sense or not, and also whether the developers of each software coordinated to make it translate.

    Like you point out, text posts don’t exist on a video platform (at least if you’re not counting youtube community posts), so peertube devs didn’t write any code to receive or display them.

    How you get stuff to show up also depends on the platform, but I believe most will do it if you search the account handle of the account on the other service - so you can follow a peertube account from mastodon by searching @account@example.com and then it starts showing newly posted videos in your feed.

    Since all the translations are decided by the devs of each software, some of it is a little funky - like IIRC lemmy communities are displayed in Mastodon as an account that you can follow, and each post to the community is a post on that account (or maybe it’s boosted by that account, I can’t remember), so if you follow the “community account” from Mastodon, you will start seeing new posts in your Mastodon feed, and can reply to the comments by replying to the post. You can also post to the community from Mastodon by mentioning the community at the beginning of a Mastodon post, and I think it will boost it.

    It’s kinda weird IMO - I get the feeling a lot of posts from Mastodon in Lemmy communities might be made by accident because it often looks like the Mastodon user was just trying to tag an organization (like tagging @Plex or @Netflix to complain about their software or something) and then saw the account suggestion from Lemmy and didn’t realize they would be posting to a community instead of tagging an individual.

    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.
