Self hosting is hard. How do you overcome?
  • My advice would be, be pragmatical, an error on a backup script I did not notice wiped the time tracking data I had been collecting on my self hosted database for over a year. I got really anxious at first, because of my mistake and because of the data lost. But at the end of the day... Who cares, life goes on, this is only a hobby.

  • Any Volunteers
  • No joke, I once met a guy like this in an indie game developers meetup, and on top of that he was extremely vague about his idea because he told everyone he once managed to get a coder on board and "that rat wanted to take advantage of him and his idea", literally.

  • App Idea: Location History

    I like the fact that my Android phone records my location timeline from Google Maps, but the fact that this is stored in Google servers creeps me out.

    I know you can download the entire location history database from Google so I was planning on building a custom app to store and browse this data.

    I was also curious if there would be the possibility of making the phone send locations to this app instead of Google, but I don't know much about Android and I don't know if this would be possible.

    What do you think about it? Is there already an app like this? Do you think this is a good idea?

    Disney Renaissance. Was it for videogames too?

    When I was a kid, during the 90s I lived what it is considered the Disney Renaissance: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Renaissance

    And I was wondering if this was happening with Disney videogames as well. Some very high quality games came to my mind, like Aladdin and The Lion King for 16 bits consoles, Hercules for the PS1? And so.

    Do you think there was an equivalent to Disney Renaissance un games during the 90s? And if so, what games would define it?

    Why so many POST requests?

    I've been running my self-hosted one user Pleroma (like Mastodon) instance. When I discovered Lemmy I started following some communities from it and also posted some comments.

    Since then lemmy.ml makes one request per second to my /inbox url.

    Can someone who knows ActivityPub explain why is necessary one request per second always? What are all these POST requests for?

    On top of that, is there any way to tell a server or a relay to stop sending information to my inbox? Like if for example I followed someone in that server, but I don't follow them anymore, is there any way to tell the remote server to stop? If I start returning a 403 or something like that will it stop?

    My experience with Lidarr

    As much as I like radarr, lidarr has some problems radarr doesn't. Some bands nowadays do not release albums and directly release singles on YouTube or Spotify, so the albums organization doesn't work that well anymore.

    On top of that, the content you find in the trackers is very heterogeneous, entire albums as a single track, discographies as zip files, different file formats, single albums... and it seems to confuse lidarr all the time so it cannot figure out what is what.

    What do you use for your music collections? How do you organize them?

    Do you run locally?

    I was curious, do you run Stable Diffusion locally? On someone else's server? What kind of computer do you need to run SD locally?

    Essential reads for new parents?

    Hello everyone! I'm about to become a parent in a few months and I was wondering what books would you recommend reading to get myself prepared. Is there a new parents bible or something like It? The baby won't come with instructions. Thanks!

    Op-ed: Why the great #TwitterMigration didn’t quite pan out
    arstechnica.com Op-ed: Why the great #TwitterMigration didn’t quite pan out

    The flight from Musk's Twitter to the "free" fediverse never really took off.

    I've been using fediverse stuff (Mastodon and, most recently, Calckey—I'm just going to use "Mastodon" as shorthand here; purists can bite me) for over a year now and have been doing so full time for about six months, following Elon Musk buying Twitter (since on principle, I decline to give Elon Musk money or attention). This latter part coincided with the "November 2022 influx," when lots of new people joined Mastodon for similar reasons. A lot of that influx has not stuck around. Everyone is very aware at this point that active user numbers of Mastodon have dropped off a cliff...

    What do you think about this article? Have you perceived anything similar?

    I'm impressed by beehaw

    I started moving from Reddit to Lemmy a few days ago, and since then I've been forcing myself to spend time here and getting myself used to it. I quickly checked the list of popular instances and decided to join lemmy.world and not beehaw because I didn't like their decision of defederating other big lemmy instances.

    I've been lurking lemmy.world for a bunch of days, and I like it enough not to look back at Reddit anymore, so props to that. It feels a bit chaotic though, with many tiny communities being created all the time with very few post and comments in them.

    Today I decided to take a look at beehaw's and in perspective it feels so organized and content rich that I'm quite impressed.

    I guess it comes with a big amount of moderation and organized content creation work and I wonder how sustainable is that in the long run, but props to them so far for the project!

    What do you think about beehaw?
