@possiblylinux127 @A_norny_mousse ungoogled-chromium disables safe browsing, and for Debian’s chromium package I keep going back and forth about whether to pull that patch in or not.

@Alaknar @jali67 It is absolutely not cheaper. Monopolists have a tendency to raise prices once they corner the market. I took over maintenance of a journalism site and cut hosting costs roughly in half while increasing performance by switching from AWS to DigitalOcean.

@MrMcGasion @Sunny Come to the dark side (xmpp, and jmp.chat) and get decentralized messaging and SMS support with that data-only sim!

@Blue_Morpho @Onomatopoeia Hm, is that something that snapraid scrub would theoretically catch? I’m thinking probably not, as the corruption would likely happen when initially writing the files, rather than after the files have been sitting around on disk for a while.

@eddyizm @flightyhobler A lot of us are just using Tempo out of f-droid (which has been stuck at 3.8.x), and would love to have a fork or update available in f-droid. Alternatively, an external f-droid repo.

@Flamekebab @non_burglar Sounds like snapraid might be a better fit for your needs. Since it runs over top of the filesystem, if you lose a disk you can still access files from the other disk(s). It’s better than rsync, in that it would provide regular data validation (‘snapraid scrub’ once per week or so). It is more designed to work in raid5 rather than mirroring (raid1) setup, however.

@empireOfLove2 @tintedundercollar12 Yeah, that absolutely looks like a hardware issue. Memtest is a good idea, but also reseat the nvme and keep an eye out for overheating (eg, ssh’ing in and keeping the following running in a terminal:
while (sleep 5); do sudo smartctl -a /dev/nvme0|grep ‘Temperature:’; done
). Components on the drive could be failing early when temperatures get high, but not high enough to trigger warning thresholds.

@kiol Syncthing? Restic? All packaged nicely in Debian, no need for containers. I do use Ansible (rather than backups) for ensuring if a drive dies, I can reproduce the configuration. That’s still very much a work-in-progress though, as there’s stuff I set up before I started using Ansible…

@kiol And then there’s the stuff that’s not packaged in Debian, like navidrome. I use a container for that for simplicity, and because if it breaks it’s not a big deal - temporary downtime of email is bad, temporary downtime of my streaming flac server means I just re-listen to the stuff that my subsonic clients have cached locally.

@kiol On the other hand, for doing builds (debian packages and random other stuff), I’ll use podman containers. I’ve got a self-built build environment that I trust (debootstrap’d), and it’s pretty simple to create a new build env container for some package, and wipe it when it gets too messy over time and create a new one. And for building larger packages I’ve got ccache, which doesn’t get wiped by each different build; I’ve got multiple chromium build containers w/ ccache, llvm build env, etc

@kiol I mean, I use both. If something has a Debian package and is well-maintained, I’ll happily use that. For example, prosody is packaged nicely, there’s no need for a container there. I also don’t want to upgrade to the latest version all the time. Or Dovecot, which just had a nasty cache bug in the latest version that allows people to view other peoples’ mailboxes. Since I’m still on Debian 12 on my mail server, I remain unaffected and I can let the bugs be shaken out before I upgrade.

@MimicJar @moseschrute *touches finger to earpiece*

…hang on, I’m getting word that the most recent edition of this book will crash your nvram’s firmware

@Dust0741 Check out jmp.chat (i can provide a referral code if you’d like a free trial). Your number would be ported there, and then SMS would go over XMPP/jabber to any device with a client running. Your phone can stay home, and you’d get SMS messages on your laptop or whatever device you’ve taken with you.

@iii @KarnaSubarna Looks like syncthing-fork already updated to 2.0: https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/releases

It’s not in f-droid yet, though.

@Passerby6497 np! Any usb-powered PC fan will do, btw. I also have some Arctic fans that I like even better, but for the minipc I’m using an AC Infinity because that’s what I had handy.

@Passerby6497 @curbstickle I have a Minisforum hm90 that tried to cook the nvme (it triggered a smart error before actually frying, thankfully). Since the m2 slot is on the bottom near some vents, I just put the minipc on top of an AC Infinity usb fan (I forget if P12 or P14 - use whatever fits your minipc best) that blows up into the case and over the nvme.

@a @selfhosted @selfhostedchat Unfortunately no, as we don’t have any apple devices in the house.

@a @selfhosted @selfhostedchat Prosody (xmpp). The kids use Dino on their linux laptops, and Conversations on their android phones. The biggest problem we have is that the kids want to invite non-family members into the family chat, and I’m just not set up for that.

@tripflag @disobey2623 Your statement is correct; the way seafile stores files is in blocks (for de-duplication, apparently).

They offer a fuse extension that allows you to view stuff like a normal filesystem, though I’ve never tried it: https://manual.seafile.com/latest/extension/fuse/

@ssdfsdf3488sd My understanding it that they’re both pretty much the same, so I wouldn’t unless snikket has stopped being maintained or something?
