I have offered logins to a couple family and they just say hmm, never heard of it, sounds illegal and don’t use it lol

Yes, it took me a long time to figure it out. Which is why Plex feels comfortable charging for it

Yes, it does introduce insecurity, so not for everyone. I have it behind a domain on cloudflare (let’s encrypt cert) with nginx reverse proxy

I just confirmed it has it. You need to be on the same subnet, which is why VPN won’t work. But then everything shows up as castable

IIRC it has it. Not if you’re behind VPN or a tunnel. Only over HTTPS.

I finally set up Joplin server. It is a revelation after too long using Syncthing to sync databases. I wasn’t able to use Joplin on Android anymore- the sync to file system had gotten too slow. Now everything syncs pretty much instantly!

They can’t really switch later, though. At least, all of their submissions and comments stay at the old account

People can follow and comment to my WordPress from the fediverse. My posts are long enough that they don’t really look right on Mastodon (and images all show up as attachments rather than inline), but nice for shorter format blogs

I do the same, but I’ve run into a bottleneck where Joplin syncs encrypted notes really, really slowly to local storage. So looking to switch to hosted Joplin server

There was a point in time in OG Facebook, maybe the early 2010s, when they let you have really granular control of the timeline. Like they allowed any post to be clicked and you could change the amount you saw from that person or page on a sliding scale, and it actually worked! They of course got rid of it

Which is amusing, because the UX for Facebook, X and TikTok are horrendous also. So much stuff buried under layers of settings

I use Home Assistant DuckDNS and Nginx addons. DuckDNS handles the dynamic DNS updating when my ISP inevitably changes my IP address. Let’s Encrypt for certificates. Nginx for proxying to IPs on my network

Same, also the Readrops app. Less features but faster sync.

If they did that, anyone could spin up an instance and start just fabricating votes and there’d be no way to know

I think part of the motive is to make brigading harder (show if users or bots are colluding to vote things up or down)

It is the aggressive megacolony of fungus embedding its mycelia in the base of the tree

I use self-hosting for home assistant and jellyfin (behind two duckdns domains). I started to add more (Joplin server, Immich, tiny tiny RSS etc.) and found my workload increasing a lot, So I’ve paused that effort for now. For Joplin, I use syncthing with my Pi as a hub instead, which is much simpler.

It works! At least, I have a server on my domain name that people can follow, which is pretty cool. Fortunately, I have a new blog post planned to test it out in the next few days :)
