I left several months ago due to the spam. Got that old Reddit itch so came back. Looks bleak.

AlternateRoute , to Technology in Biggest gauge cluster screen mod for Tesla Model Y

There is a way to get carplay into the testla browser on the existing screen

Horsey OP ,

No knock to you and your tip, but I’d never use a browser CarPlay solution🤐 the touch responsiveness is too slow and it’s too much of a hassle to start up at every drive.

Did you post this 3 times on purpose?

Horsey OP ,

No totally not. I think it’s time I move away from kbin because I constantly have this issue lol

eveninghere , to Fediverse in I think we should slightly rethink how login works on most Fediverse apps (Mastodon, Lemmy, but not only)

No, because security. Look up how oauth works and why.

Email providers also have oauth

pearsaltchocolatebar , to Technology in Is there an opensource package that uses a ML model to identify people/objects in video content?

I'm also interested in this. I want to set up a camera and speaker to automatically yell at my dog when he's digging up the garden beds.

OpenCV may be fairly set for purpose for your needs already. If you could train the Cascade classifier (See: https://docs.opencv.org/4.x/dc/d88/tutorial_traincascade.html) with enough data of what constitutes your dog in the garden, you'd be able to string a video feed through a script and have it trigger audio playback whenever it identifies the naughty doggo. (See: https://docs.opencv.org/4.x/db/d28/tutorial_cascade_classifier.html)

seba , to Selfhosted in Trying to understand the different selfhosted monitoring solutions

Hi ! I'm also trying to navigate the monitoring solutions, I thought it will be easier ... :( Maybe someone has a recommendation:

I'm looking for a lightweight tool for my personal home lab (Ionos VPS 2GB ram 2cpu), so no need for scalability or big data, etc. I'm experimenting with some services (syncthing, silverbullet-md, wireguard) and there is not much ram left for anything else.
I've being reading about Prometheus+Grafana, but sounds like an overkill, like checkMk, Zabbix , Graphite, netdata...

I mostly need status of the hadware (ram+cpu) and containers running.Ideally, I can see an historical of a few days in a web based dashboard.

Currently I'm using Glances because it was easy to install and very lightweight but if I want to visualize the persisted data, I need something like Grafana, etc.

(sorry for the long comment I wasn't sure if I should have to start a new post)
Thanks a lot 🤓

I asked Ernest 1 year ago about delegating and empower the software developers, but that didn't happen and will never happen. That was the reason to create Mbin.

iso , to Fediverse in (De)centralisation of Lemmy communities in numbers
@iso@lemy.lol avatar

Nice post but hard to read. How about using tables?

head 1 head 2
body 1 body 2

like this:

| head 1 | head 2 |
| --- | --- |
| body 1 | body 2 |

Edit: are we sure the data is correct? For example; Lemmy.ml has 16 communities over 10k. Which are linux, memes, asklemmy, technology, worldnews, privacy, opensource, gaming, fediverse, unixporn, linux_gaming, reddit, science, lemmy, selfhost, jerboa.

You are looking at subscriber numbers, and this table counts Monthly Active Users (who posted, commented or voted) of the community.

(yes, it is a table now :))

WhiteHotaru , to Selfhosted in Beginner looking for NAS advice

Hi! I was in your situation in January. I went for a used two bay Synology 720+ model, that came with 10GB RAM and a used WD Red 4 TB WD40EFRX.

The main reason I switched to a NAS was an easy way to share our children’s photos with my SO. Synology is perfect for this, because the photos app has face recognition and can search through location data, which is coming in handy with 25K photos.

Second thing I wanted to do on the NAS was the whole backup strategy of our laptops. At the moment we rely on cloud backups, but I wanted to change this to a solid 3-2-1 strategy. On top the cloud backup never really worked on my SOs laptop.

I had no ambition with selfhosting, but am familiar with Linux. At the moment I have a paperless instance and jellyfish running. I plan to put some shows for the kids on it, my CD collection and am ripping my DVDs.

Until now the process was very smooth. Paperless has some minor hiccups I could iron out, but the whole Synology infrastructure is really solid.

I picked the 720+ because the perks of a 723+ seemed negligible to me. This page offers a good comparison: https://nascompares.com/guide/synology-ds720-vs-ds723-nas-which-should-you-choose/

Showroom7561 , to Selfhosted in Beginner looking for NAS advice

My first real NAS was a Synology 920+, which I'm still using after several years. I knew nothing about NAS', and it's been amazing!

I'm self-hosting numerous applications via docker; have replaced quite a few paid services (google drive, Evernote, etc.); and it's already come in handy to retrieve deleted documents from my wife's computer (several times!), which we back up to the NAS.

My only real suggestion is to go with as many bays as possible. Mine is a 4-bay, and I've already filled AND upgraded the capacity of several drives. I wish I had gone with 6 or 8 bays, but I really had no idea that my NAS would be this versatile.

I do also have an 4-bay external HDD enclosure, but it only serves to make local backups of my NAS. I see my NAS as the main hub, and place for ALL of my data, so external drives are either feeding data to my NAS or storing backups.

  1. I connect HDDs and even an action camera to the USB port when I need to make backups of my NAS, or to copy data into my NAS. I haven't needed to reformat anything just to work with the NAS.
  2. my docker use is pretty basic: rss aggregator, podcast storage, bookmark storage, etc.
  3. Drives don't make any noise, other than the typical "HDD read/write" noise that you'd get from a spinning HDD. The fan can be adjusted to different levels, and rarely do I ever notice them.
  4. I expect any NAS to last as long as a typical desktop computer: at least 10 years. Drives can be swapped out and replaced when needed, but this is far easier to do the more bays you have, since you'll have redundancy in at least one other drive. Theoretically, I can lose an entire drive and not lose any data. In fact, even upgrading a drive is very seamless, and the data gets rebuilt into the new drive. Pretty cool stuff.
  5. I don't use syncthing. On my computers, I'll sync/backup local files to the NAS using Synology drive. On my phone, I have Synology Photos backing up photos and videos, and Synology Drive backing up my "documents" folder. I do also use SMBSync2 (Android) to copy music files from my NAS to my phone, so I can listen offline.

What Evernote alternative are you self hosting?

I'm looking for one myself, but it needs to have a top notch search engine and web capture.

Showroom7561 ,

In all honestly, I migrated all my Evernote data to Synology Notes.

I do still use Synology Notes, however, I've also made it a point to separate certain things like receipts (something I used Evernote for) to plain PDF files organized in a file folder structure for better data portability.

Synology global search is pretty great, so it will read inside of PDF documents, and I haven't had any issues with finding large amounts of data when needed.

I do miss Evernote, but I got sick and tired of their constantly increasing prices and making their software worse. And I used Evernote from the very beginning... even got a shirt! But self-hosting, while adding a few extra hoops to jump through to get working, is the best thing ever.

That's the real issue I have with any note taking software is the data portability or lack of. Even Synology Notes will be a challenge to migrate away from (if I ever do), so anything that doesn't need to go there gets put somewhere else! But Notes has been seamless to use and "just works" for my needs.

peter , to Technology in Ethical alternatives to commercial social media. Is it possible?
@peter@feddit.uk avatar

The truth is that for something like Facebook groups the biggest feature is that everyone is already there, and by that metric there is no alternative

FarraigePlaisteach OP , (edited )
@FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.social avatar

True, but the format is unique. The post format breaks up the flow of chatter into easily discernible units of conversation.

IRC, Discord and others have the continuous stream of thought with no beginning or end. On the other extreme, Instagram and TikTok require an image or video to post at all.

So I would say that FB groups have a distinct utility / identity separate from just other users being there.

Lemmling , to Selfhosted in Multiple HDDs in a RPi5 vanish

I faced the same problem when trying to run two SSDs connected via USB in btrfs raid0. I used a cheap 30W power brick from amazon. You can see dmsg warnings about this. Look for low voltage/current. Problems were resolved after using the official Raspberry 5 power brick.

I know you got your answer but wanted to mention the Google DNS is going away and being migrated to square space.
