How would you do that? You need some party to accept and hold the money and be able to give it out. And those usually have to follow a bunch of regulations.

Cats have beans, duh.

If I wasn’t using so many other Nextcloud apps besides the file storage I would switch.

The only problem that I see with this is that images and especially videos take up vastly more space than plain text.

And does ActivityPub include client APIs? I haven’t looked at it, but my completely unfounded impression has been that it only handled server to server communication.

I basically just use it to also post to the fediverse. It works. But I don’t follow anyone so I wouldn’t know anything about that side.

So, what did you do?

Just for drive redundancy it’s awesome. One drive fails you just pull it out, put in a new one and let the array rebuild. I guess the upside of hardware RAID is that some even allow you to swap a disk without powering down. Either way, you have minimal downtime.

I guess a better way would be to have multiple servers. Though with features like checksums in BTRFS I guess a RAID is still better because it can protect against bitrot. And with directly connected systems in a RAID it is generally easier to ensure consistency.

I’d stay away from hardware RAID controllers. If they fail you’re gonna have a hard time. Learned that the hard way. With a software RAID you can do what you proposed. Just put the disk in another system and use it there.

Port forwarding is what you’re looking for. You almost certainly can configure that in your router. You tell it what the port in the outside should be and to what IP and port in your LAN it should go.

Edit: Just saw your other comments. I’m a bit at a loss.

NPM won’t help you here. As you said, it’s only for http. You will have to set up port forwarding in your router. But as far as I recall Minecraft changes its port with every game. So you could either change that in your router every time you start another game.

But it would be better (for security as well) to set up a VPN. Many routers actually have that built in.

That is, if your goal is to have your Minecraft server reachable through the internet.

For DNS you will need a Dynamic DNS service to let the name always point to your public IP. For this as well many routers have built-in functionality. Maybe even a preferred service.

The app won’t have every instance on the planet. You can type in whatever instance you wish.

Have you tried different browsers? You should also enter the full URL sometimes they’re a bit stupid nowadays. So http://192.168.x.x:1500/

Maybe the browsers bring their own VPN. Some process all traffic to make it more “mobile friendly”. Or they have some other kind of proxy.

A bash script would probably be easiest to write and pluck into cron.

Edit: Clone all repos you want into one directory and then loop with a script over all cloned dirs and issue git fetch. Done. If you want to add a repo you clone another.

MythTV is the magic word. At least it was ten years ago when we were still watching TV. It comes with server and client packages. Kodi can also serve as a client. You can set up automatic recordings, timeshift, it can serve other videos and music. It’s great.

Lemmy will rewrite the image URLs when saving a post.

But instead the URL should be rewritten when loading the post. That way the original URL wouldn’t get lost and it would also work for old posts.

With docker-compose it’s almost there. Putting everything into a script with sensible defaults asking just for what is absolutely necessary should be relatively easy. It’s just that nobody bothered to do that.

Of course, if you want to have a performant instance with more than one user you will have to tweak everything according to your needs. But to simply get up and running isn’t that hard.

You never know.

Stop staring at my cable box. I don’t have a problem!

I like the trash to hook up any hard drive via USB.

Yeah, any additional VPN is unnecessary.
