Oh man. If I could find a way to stop the phishing emails, I would absolutely love it.

No idea why exchange consistently lets through emails asking to change exchange passwords? Surely they would be the easiest to seperate out

Peertube?

Decentralised. Federated. activity pub. Self Hosted. Open source.

Lemmy is a federated social network, similar to Mastodon, where anyone can create and run their own instance. This means it’s not centrally controlled by one entity. The reasons for having many instances include:

1. Decentralization: This reduces the power of any single entity over the entire network and prevents any central point of failure. If one instance goes down, others are unaffected. This design also helps resist censorship because content moderation is handled individually by each instance.

2. Community autonomy: Each instance can form its own unique community with its own rules and norms. This can promote diversity of thought and freedom of expression, as different communities can have different standards and policies.

3. Privacy and security: Having separate instances can provide a higher degree of privacy and security. The admin of an instance only has access to data from their instance, not the entire network.

Regarding the concern of popular instances becoming like Reddit, it’s worth noting that decentralization inherently provides a counterbalance. If an instance becomes too dominant or its policies become unpopular, users can migrate to or create a new instance. In the end, the federated nature of Lemmy allows for a much more democratic and user-driven online community.

I still appreciate the love ✌️💛

Damn. I may need to buy a couple

Just a barrier many won’t cross.

Most can detect traffic. Content itself, I do t know. Certainly some can.

Probably will remove you. Ban you. And pass on any data they may have to authorities.

It’s the main reason I don’t do it. Even if it’s extremely unlikely.

That’s what my homelab is for. But even then, it has its own problems.

Plex is preinstalled on most smart tvs’s. And in ones with very limited app stores.

Also easy for others to make their own plex account, and you just give access to that user through the UI.

jellyfin requires more on the client side. Beyond what my mum can do on her own.

Plex for sharing with others. Jellyfin for personal use only.

Yes. Because there’s no centralised list of communities, searching is extremely difficult. Or if not, very time consuming. Following every iteration of every node.

I’m not sure how that can be overcome.

I’m hosting one right now. Lemmyunchained.net

But in will have to Limit Users at some point.

I dont Think people properly understand they can be on any server. And join multiple communities. And it all Show up in their Feed. They don’t Need to worry about “which community has the Most Users”

1. Check Permissions: First, make sure that you have the right permissions to edit the lemmy.hjson file. You may need to use a command like sudo to edit it if you’re on a Unix-based system.

2. Save and Restart: Once you’ve edited the lemmy.hjson file, ensure that the changes are saved correctly, and then restart the Lemmy service for the changes to take effect. You can do this via the YunoHost admin interface, or using a command like systemctl restart lemmy on the command line.

3. SMTP Server: Double-check your SMTP server settings. These typically include the server’s address, the port number (often 465 for SSL or 587 for TLS), and your login credentials.

4. Email Verification: Lemmy requires a working SMTP setup for email verification during user sign up. If there’s an error with the SMTP setup, you’ll see an “email_send_failed” error.

5. Test SMTP: You mentioned that you’ve already tested the SMTP server with swaks and it’s working. That’s great! If you’re not seeing those settings reflected in the Lemmy admin interface though, the changes might not be taking effect.

6. SMTP Relay: If your SMTP server requires a relay, make sure you have configured it correctly. You said you’re using “brevo” as a relay. If “brevo” is the relay server, it should also be mentioned in your SMTP settings in lemmy.hjson.

7. Logs: Check the logs for any error messages. You can typically find these in a location like /var/log/lemmy/, though it may vary based on your installation.

Without logs, I can’t say much more. Sorry.

Good news 💛👍

check the Docker volume settings and ensure that the volume for mounting the folder containing your videos is correctly configured. Verify that the paths match the location of your video files.

Next, ensure that the Docker container has the necessary permissions to access the video files. Check the file ownership and permissions for the shared folder containing the videos.

Try restarting the Docker container running Photoprism as well. Sometimes, a restart can resolve mounting or file-related issues.

That’s about all I can offer without looking in closer detail at your configs.

Following this ✌️

My server is now up to 100 and something tb of storage. About 50% used. Raid 6. (Yes raid isn’t a backup. I know) Mainly media. Movies, tv, music, Books/audiobooks.

I’ve separated our media storage vs OS.

I only backup my OS and configs. It goes to an on-site nas.

If my media library dies, I’ll just slowly re-download what people want.

If I lose my os, I have one backup, other wise I’m off to work rebuilding that too.

I’m happy to pay for iCloud at this stage to backup and store sentimental or critical things.

✌️💛

Yeh. It’s strange if it’s the same config file. Works on a laptop via putty.

Surely just a configuration issue. Or like I said. Even a typo. I’m an absolute newb. I’ve spent days debugging networks, only to find a typo somewhere.

Really strange. Probably done all this, but just run through it again make sure you haven’t got a typo somewhere or something.

1.	Check Connection Settings: Ensure the IP, port, and authentication details are correct in JuiceSSH.
2.	Firewall Rules: Confirm the SSH port (usually 22) isn’t blocked by any firewalls on your network or server.
3.	Try another SSH App: To see if it’s a JuiceSSH-specific issue, download another SSH client like Termius and test the connection.

(I’d probably start with 3, might narrow it down to a juice config problem, I’m not very familiar with juice)

What’s your router ?

Spotify is the only streaming service I continue to pay for. Mainly because of the sheer size of the library, and the way they recommend new music.
