@poVoq@sxan I have a 200MB/mo data connection, and my XMPP client (Cheogram) is barely a blip. The main driver of data usage with it is when my family is sending around 0.5MB images to each other.
@ItJustDonn@486 Hang on, this runs chromium as root? That seems like a really bad idea. And unnecessary, since there's a hoarder user installed later in the script...
@Coldmoon@Steamymoomilk I mean, a few months ago I bought a 10TB used HGST drive from 2018 (from goharddrive). The bigger issue imo is buying a drive that old and having only a 90 day warranty. The 10TB drive I purchased came with a 5yr warranty.
@Smash@Limonene Right, it was proprietary. Which is why adoption of it by free software devs is so slow. Ubuntu only got dotnet packages in the past few years! (RIP @vorlon )
@sxan@shortrounddev jmp.chat uses XMPP, and it's a very viable replacement for Google Voice (and generic SIP options like voip.ms), so that's what got me back on the XMPP train. No one else other than my family is using it with me, though, but it's still nice to have SMS, (encrypted & decentralized) family chat, and IRC (via biboumi bridge) in one desktop client.
is there such a problem? honest question. But I think that might be a different issue
Yes, that is a problem. We're still in a world where you need to manually enable port forwarding in order to get better seeding for bittorrent clients, and if you have CGNAT you're SOL (short of using a VPN or something to bounce through an external host).
It's likely because torrent software is older (& in crappier languages), and came about before CGNAT was a thing.
@Shimitar@whysofurious Same. Getting an enclosure that can properly use linux's uas driver rather than the usb-storage driver is a night-and-day difference. Read the reviews and get a dedicated single-drive enclosure for like $30, and don't overlook cooling. Sometimes an external usb fan is a better option than an enclosure with built-in fans but poor airflow.
@Sunny Backups are done weekly, using Restic (and with '--read-data-subset=9%' to verify that the backup data is still valid).
But that's also in addition to doing nightly Snapraid syncs for larger media, and Syncthing for photos & documents (which means I have copies on 2+ machines).
@werefreeatlast I do this with yggdrasil. Every yggdrasil host gets its own unique private IPv6 address (routeable only to other yggdrasil hosts). As long as you have a single yggdrasil host that's located in public (I use a VPS for this), you can reach any of the yggdrasil hosts from any of the other ones via their IPv6 address. I then map those addresses with DNS, so I don't have to ever type them.
@ohshit604@AbidanYre Nah, they are still doing releases, but they're hidden. You have to combine the past few releases to unlock the url for the latest release.
@ikidd@scrubbles I'm in a similar situation, though not hosted at home (rather, at a linode VPS with an IP that I don't think has changed in almost 20 years).
They were set up in 2006, and I've only ever had a blacklist event or two related to not adopting/upgrading to some new standard like SPF, rather than any kind of spam thing.
@Disaster@Sunny I found tmobile's 5g to be reasonably priced ($50/mo) and solid speeds. Much better than spectrum, but it depends on how close to a tower you are.
