Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How many containers are you all running?English
3·1 month ago
64 containers in total, 60 running - the remaining 4 are Watchtowers that I run manually whenever I feel like it (and have time to fix things if something should break).

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How do I make the Wordpress media library be somewhere else?English
1·2 months agoA hacky solution would be to copy all images into a directory on the other server and sshfs-mount that to where WordPress expects it on the current server.

2·2 months agoINWX seems to offer .at Domains as well as an API.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Alternative to Gmail? I currently use my own domain for email, but i miss the priority inboxEnglish
4·2 months agoThis probably won’t help you much, but Apple Mail has this feature regardless of the server.
Check out GL.iNet products. They’re all based on OpenWrt with a more beginner-friendly GUI on top. (LuCi can be installed via a few clicks.) And very affordable. Some can be flashed to vanilla OpenWrt as well.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Wondering if running a single user Lemmy is an overkillEnglish
14·2 months agoI did it for a while but my system was constantly busy and there was this controversy about the image cache and possible CSAM which then prompted me to switch to using the flagship instance. Haven’t tried any of the alternatives, though.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Reitti v3.1.0: A year of self-hosting my location history (1.1k stars and 46 releases later)English
7·2 months agoThis GitHub and the README in there say otherwise. Also the fact that I’ve got it running locally. 😉

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Anybody out there self hosting Searxing?English
14·2 months agoSame here. Once in a while I update the config with all the changed engines. But that’s about it.
I’ve got a so-called “Asteroid” with UberSpace. You just have to bring your own domain and configure DNS to use their servers. Unlimited mailboxes, unlimited aliases, Sieve scripts … and SSH access.
Apart from that, I’ve got a free account with disroot for emergencies.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Looking for Software to Track Watched ShowsEnglish
2·3 months agoItems are tracked using IDs. But if a movie was imported from Douban, NeoDB only knows the Douban ID. Same with IMDb. However, since TheMovieDB records often have IMDb IDs as well, it’ll import both identifiers if you import from there.
And there’s a feature to merge duplicate imports into one. This will make that resulting record available under all the different IDs.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Looking for Software to Track Watched ShowsEnglish
1·3 months agoYes, whenever you mark a movie or an episode as “to watch”, “watching” or “watched”, this gets published like a Mastodon post. You also have the option to automatically retoot this from your main Mastodon account. Others can follow you from Mastodon and react to your events. (For some reason, they don’t properly show up here, though.) And, of course, it all shows up for other users on NeoDB.

4·3 months agoYou can always join one of the mainly English instances like Eggplant.place or ReviewDB or host your own. But as long as the majority of NeoDB.social users are Chinese, the dominant language there won’t change.
OTOH it’s easy to use the API - so, instead of doing it manually, I’m tempted to write a small tool that you can throw a link to a movie or show at and it’ll change all Chinese actor names to their English counterparts.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Changing to Openwrt router made my Homelab slower. Could you help me dissect the issue?English
4·3 months agoHave you tried it with the original GL.iNet firmware? There might be some optimisations in there that are missing from plain OpenWrt.

10·3 months agoTo quote myself:
There’s just one little quirk: since this app started out in China, many actors show up with their Chinese names - but can be easily edited to their English names.
The author of the app is Chinese (but speaks English, too).
The actors get imported upon the very first import of a movie/show. And when a movie is imported from Douban first, the actors will all show up with their Chinese transliterations. If you import a new movie from TheMovieDB, they’ll show up with their English names. But as mentioned above, you can edit the names - which is what I usually do for US-movies. Descriptions support multi-language, though. Once an English description has been imported, it should show up for you while Chinese people will continue to see the Chinese description.
And the more English-language users start to use NeoDB, the more initially-English content will pop up.

13·3 months agoAfter Trakt changed to a subscription, I’ve went with NeoDB. This is a federated network, so you can also host it yourself if you like. All entries there can be published into the Fediverse, too. It tracks movies, shows, books, and games. And it automatically imports from IMDb, TheMovieDB, Amazon, Steam, and many more. There’s just one little quirk: since this app started out in China, many actors show up with their Chinese names - but can be easily edited to their English names.
There’s also eggplant.place which is the development build of NeoDB and might be unstable but has more English content.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What folders do you make in addition to the default ones ?
31·3 months agoMy home folders on any OS have a
Developmentfolder (which conveniently sits right next toDocumentsandDownloads) and in that folder, I’ve also got subfolders per programming language that have the respective projects in them.The other folder I usually have is
SyncThingwith whatever synced folders are relevant for that machine.
