So far no one has mentioned this, but typically images or other uploads only exist on the original server. When lemm.ee went down, all the content those users uploaded was lost.

The text content of posts and comments is copied across all the linked servers, but the images aren’t. Some instances will proxy images from a short term cache, but it’s far too expensive to store the images permanently.

What’s your solution to this problem for the rest of your digital life?

Yeah that’s a pretty good argument for it.

Why group it into language instead of say a ‘web’ directory or ‘android’/‘mobile’?

I’m just curious, I am more of a ‘throw everything in one directory and home I remember what I’m looking for’ sort of organiser.

Multiple people in this topic say they organise in directories for different programming languages, something I have never considered and I find it to be an odd way of organising for some reason I can’t explain.

Where do you put a project with a Javascript frontend and a Python backend?

Ah thanks!

Don’t forget the Breezy live wallpaper, where it shows a wallpaper based on the current weather.

On my wife’s phone it has tabs along the bottom. On mine it has the same options in the hamburger menu at the top left. I have no idea why they are different 😅

I think I tried this when troubleshooting and didn’t notice a difference. Nevermind, I pretty easily taught her how to bring up the menu and switch audio streams so she can solve it herself now.

Thanks, I didn’t manage to find many options in swiftfin, you don’t know if I can enforce it for a user from the server side?

I set up Jellyfin on my mother-in-law’s TV, it’s just push play.

My mum has an Apple TV (the device, not the subscription) and on there she uses swiftfin. The only issue has been sound not working on certain audio tracks on certain movies, but in general it is easy for anyone.

Both are very familiar interfaces for anyone used to playing something from a streaming service.

Ah yip, makes sense, thanks!

Ah haha, I actively avoid using google so don’t log in to an account. If you don’t mind me asking, if corporate surveillance isn’t what you’re avoiding, what’s the main reason you’re using a VPN?

No it’s a paid VPN, and it starts fast but after the first 500GB or so it slows right down.

I do suspect many of the issues are from activity on the VPN rather than specific VPN blocking, but that doesn’t change the issues.

How do you handle the Google Captchas that never end? That was the worst part for me.

I have, thanks. The impossible to complete captchas are the worst for me, so many sites that are basically broken.

Browsing lemmy is probably fine, but the general internet is a god damn nightmare to browse on a VPN. Can’t load that one reddit search result with what you need. Endless google captchas making you do traffic light after traffic light and won’t let you pass no matter how many you do, on sites you didn’t even know used google. Downloading games from GOG is capped at like 0.5Mbps. And I’ve had plenty of instances of cloudflare blocking VPNs to certain sites.

How so? I have HTTPS on internal sites, I just use DNS validation to get the certificate.

What is the security risk of adding HTTPS to a site going via VPN?

I highly recommend spinning up a Nextcloud AIO instance. It’s the recommended and supported method, and it will likely run a lot nicer because all the database, redis, etc tweaking are done for you in a known good setup.

If you try that and it’s still no good, then OCIS might be worth trying depending on exactly what you are trying to achieve.

I’m also here on AIO with a great experience. It’s snappy and the website loads faster than Onedrive ever did.

I had a docker install prior to AIO being available, and there was a lot of tweaking to get it running nicely (though it did run nicely). AIO takes care of it all for you.
