  • Why did we stop using Firefox?

    Jump

  • I never stopped using it. There are privacy issues with all browsers. I like how Firefox works, but I regularly end up using Firefox, chrome, and edge all at the same time. I use them for some compartmentalization of my tasks and work lol

  • Backblaze responds to claims of “sham accounting,” customer backups at risk - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • Certainly has me concerned. I'll have to investigate a bit more into the financial solvency of the company to better understand whether they are at least covering bills and such... but honestly sounds like they aren't and haven't been.

    Going to need to start looking for alternative S3 type storage.

  • Is there any lemmy server hosted from the USA ?

  • qBittorrent / Is there a way to automatically detect and activate demanded torrents with no active seeders?

    Jump

  • I’ve got qbit running in the following configuration…

    Core i5-8500T hardware > proxmox > Ubuntu virtual machine > docker > qbit. Currently seeding nearly 500 torrents and using less than 4gigs of ram. Qbit itself is running on ssd, while all torrent files are running on hard drives over SMB share. Something is up with your system.

    Jump

  • That or they have failing hardware or really bad upload or something. Maybe they’re using a bad client or something. Seems odd for sure.

  • Do you have a unique pet name for your sweetheart?

    Jump

  • I’m a geek, my wife claimed I love my Wi-Fi more than her (in a playful way) so I said, I love you just as much as my Wi-Fi…. Called her my Wi-Fi… Then it just kinda stuck.

  • Do you have a unique pet name for your sweetheart?

    Jump

  • Wi-Fi

  • qBittorrent / Is there a way to automatically detect and activate demanded torrents with no active seeders?

    Jump

  • I’m part of a private tracker and am hosting some low seeder torrents all the time.m using my servers. If you want I can download them from you, set them to their own category so they don’t get removed and just seed them for ya. Feel free to message me.

  • [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to?

    Jump

  • that's pretty obvious. Their body panels are falling off and showing how little there actually is their vehicles :D

  • [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to?

    Jump

  • Assuming that Tesla goes bankrupt, actually shuts down forever, and shuts its servers down…

    At a minimum someone would have to find out where the software sends and receives data from. Then you’d have to reverse engineer the software to control the vehicles.

    Then you’d have to reprogram the software to send to your C&C server. I don’t think it would really take all that much to host that… it’s getting there that’s difficult.

  • How do you like to transfer large files between friends across the internet?

    Jump

  • I’d have to have friends across the internet that wanted files first…

  • Youtube Downloader?

    Jump

  • I’ve been using pinchflat which is essentially a front end for yt-dlp and it’s been working fine for me. Mind you, i have all YouTube traffic from pinchflat running through a vpn to a different country so but that’s because that system also sails the high seas 🏴‍☠️😂

  • What podcast(s) do you recommend?

    Jump

  • Some that I’ve been on and off listening to (because I struggle to consistently listen to anything in particular)

    • UNBIASED politics
    • ChooseFI
    • do it yourself

    There’s a bunch of other financial coaching type podcasts that I’ve listened to, but I haven’t been much in the financial coaching game in a while

  • I've been using it since I started 10 years ago, and it's always been enough

    Jump

  • 😂 kinda figured.

  • When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job?

    Jump

  • 100%. That’s how I started, that’s how I continue to operate. Currently have a few HP prodesk and elite desk mini pcs, my old desktop converted to be a proxmox node that runs OPNsense as a vm, and an even older desktop that runs TrueNAS. However, I would like to replace my current truenas system with something newer and lower power as it consumes quite a bit for what it’s doing.

    Jump

  • “Yit”? From a search of GitHub I’m not seeing a YouTube downloader that rivals yt-dlp.. got a link?

  • I've been using it since I started 10 years ago, and it's always been enough

    Jump

  • Just recently started using it again… but that’s mainly because I found “pinchflat” which gives a great front end for yt-dlp and a bunch of the options. Mainly thought it was a great project that I could use to start archiving channels that I want down the line like all of Demolition Ranch, but I came to realize it’s just a great front end for yt-dlp lol

  • Just found Redirecterr and set that up, but that’s just for me since no one else seems to use Overseerr.

    Purchased a new to me EOL enterprise switch that will enable me to expand my network while replacing existing hardware that is limited. It also enables me to move to 10G networking woot!
