Hey all,...

I tried my hand at rigging a proximity sensor to the water meter in my house. Sadly it doesn’t have the spinning magnet for the sensor to pick up....

I've been feeling uneasy about the privacy implications of using Lemmy and similar platforms. The ability for anyone to view your entire posting history feels to me like publicly sharing my browser history. In contrast, most other social media platforms allow you to limit your feed visibility to just friends or followers....

I wanted to install Debian Linux after a weird journey with Gentoo Linux. My partition layout is this:...

I'm a happy user of Inoreader. I like it so much I'm considering buying a premium plan. However, I'm looking for an alternative I wouldn't have to pay for. I came across FreshRSS. The only thing that's keeps me from moving is the sync. I don't want to expose it to the internet but I want to be able to access it on a move. My...

I am setting up a new Jellyfin server, and I am looking at using a NAS to host it through Docker. However, I don't want to make the mistake of forgetting about the power needed for live transcoding (MKV 480p -> MP4 (I haven't set up a good conversion method yet)). Are any of the following NAS options okay for standalone...

I am currently using an old laptop (circa 2015) with a 250GB SSD in it, and 4GB of RAM. It runs Fedora 39 Server, and only hosts a Jellyfin instance through Docker right now (though I want to use Nextcloud later too). There is only 15GB of storage left on it, and the CPU is constantly overloaded (due to forced transcoding). I...

Saw this comment on a local news post about the mayor's state of the city address and the mayor mentioned some of the new public transportation initiatives including adding another line to the train, I was under the impression that Amtrak was a success until the rails became denationalized and corporate greed limited the...

Hey hello, self-hosting noob here. I just want to know if anyone would know a good way to host my writing. Something akin to those webcomic sites, except for writing. Multiple stories with their own "sections" (?) and a chapter selection for each. Maybe a home page or profile page to just briefly detail myself or whatever, I...

I am currently setting up a Proxmox box that has the usual selfhosted stuff (Nextcloud, Jellyfin, etc) and I want all of these services in different containers/VMs. I am planning to start sharing this with family/friends who are not tech savvy, so I want excellent security....

Edit: Thanks for the help, issue was solved! Had Traefik's loadbalancer set to route to port 8081, not the internal port of 80. Whoops....

I've used matrix-docker-ansible-deploy to set up Dendrite and the Sliding Sync proxy. Is there a way for me to test the sliding sync functionality?

Hi all, I moved away from Flex just yesterday and installed Jellyfin. Liking it so far, it's clean and uncluttered, but unfortunately it seems not all my files are being recognized and aren't showing in the library....

Well I totally borked my ZigBee network, and it looks like I'll need to factory reset and re-pair everything. I ignored the warning, and attempted a channel change. Lost everything and can't get any device to connect....

Had to share with this community, I decided for my second game to just rip off the band-aid and I entered a game jam targeted at beginners. I placed 3rd - with 1st and 2nd going to more seasoned game developers. I never imagined that, going in, I would be on the pedestal. I just have to thank everyone that participates in game...

I've been in the HA world since the time the government placed the world under house arrest. Since then I've seen all sorts of amazing things people can do with an esp32 device....

Mostly I'm curious what people's setups are. Are you using docker or a VM? Which tools are you using to stream and play your roms or steam games?...

I recently added some files to my Jellyfin instance, and some of them had their metadata scraped incorrectly. This was no big deal, they weren't named very well. These files ended up being displayed in a "Season Unknown" season of the show. So I fixed the names, and the files' metadata was corrected automatically. However, the...

I'm struggling to find the easiest solution to connect a set of active speakers that have BT/Optical (Toslink)/Coax. I currently use a tablet to stream Deezer via BT, but I want to be able to use them in Music Assistant....

I wanted to degoogle since Google has been most annoying so far with S21FE. Was thinking of getting Pixel 8a but due to mixed reivews I was looking for other phones. Thoughts on this? Would be also nice if I can get some opinions from people who have the phone as well.

Is anyone currently self hosting an Anytype backup node? In case you don't know, Anytype is a privacy focused, local first note app. Can be found in anytype.io....

Why do we focus solely on this one aspect of life?
