Omg… I have the EXACT same goal. Qnap and make a better offsite backup process… Been procrastinating for years now

I’m thinking a diy NAS running openmediavault.

Currently doing encrypted backups to google storage archive tier. Very cheap to store, expensive to retrieve.

Thinking maybe i can set up a small box at a family members house for nightly backups

Geez, that still exists too??? Is sharebear still around? Limewire? Kazaa???

awesome! i’ll check this out!

sorry for the n00b question, but why do i need to self host a persistent daemon and then connect to it using a webUI? can’t i just use a soulseek client on my local machine? i’m not really familiar with the architecture of soulseek.

Cool!

Is there any good content on soulseek? The last time i downloaded music from that era, it was all 96kbps realplayer audio files totally mislabelled with the wrong artist

I’m relatively new to lemmy, so i guess i missed all the other events

Personally, i loved voidfest. I spent more time on lemmy to catch them all!

I feel like what you described should be a big fat warning on the nextcloud page

OP is a lot more gracious than most internet users by accepting some responsibility. But i wouldnt blame them. I might have done the same, and i’ve been self hosting nextcloud for 8 years now.

Thats why i said client side view. Each servers community doesnt know i’m viewing 3 communities together on my phone and it doesnt affect them

The biggest problem with lemmy for me is the multiple “duplicate” communities.

There should be a feature to combine them at the client level. So the 3 different “privacy” communities could just be viewed as one on my lemmy client

There is a good statistically proven reason why so much money flows into it.

Too many smug people think, “advertising doesnt work on me! Hah! Only weak minded normies fall for it…”

Wrong… Advertising works. And that’s the reason a shit ton of money that goes into it.

You want to know the reason why i run adblockers in my browser AND DNS levels? Because i KNOW advertising works on me… i KNOW i’m not smart enough to outsmart the army of engineers, and copywriters generating this stuff.

Source: i work in advertising lol

I hope you’re upgrading from debian buster to bullseye!

If buying isnt owning then piracy isnt stealing

Weather underground is owned by IBM now

Anyone know of a community driven, non-profit weathet platform we can share weather station data with?

Wow, did not know this…

I think i will accelerate my plans for a new NAS lol

QNAP is taiwanese and still providing software patches for my 8 year old NAS. I think they are reasonably trustworthy

But i agree with you, i’m going to build my own NAS from scratch this year…

end up with all kinds of dependencies and leftover files from shit that you didn’t like.

I’ve been using debian for 10 years and never had this problem. Apt keeps everything very neat and tidy

Are you downloading random .deb packages off the internet and installing them manually?

I’ve been reading nextcloud forums/reddit/lemmy/etc. for years now, and i feel like 90% of the problems are from people using docker or whatever easy one-click solution is out there

I’ve been running NC the old fashioned way for years now and i’ve never had problems of NC dying for no reason.

Have i had issues? Of course… Not not like the ones people keep coming here and shitting on NC

The only times i’ve had major issues and it was actually a problem with nextcloud, is buggy major version releases… So i never install a new major release until X.0.1 these days. Havent really had problems since

Nextcloud can be self hosted… It’s not really “the cloud”. Can be LAN only if you want

I stopped using docker because of this terrible behaviour…

How can anyone design a container that silently rewrites the firewall rules on the host??? Makes no sense

Podman manages to work without doing this

What is the error you get when you try to connect from another device? If not a webserver error, then maybe a firewall issue. Docker might do weird things to your firewall rules when you first install
