cantankerous_cashew@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Cloudflare Tunnel AlternativesEnglish4·12 days agoYes, unless you use a provider that doesn’t have bandwidth caps; I personally use OVH for that reason
Unethical life pro tip, but I use the free tier of Cloudflare tunnels and Cloudflare access to gate access to my jellyfin instance. This is technically against their TOS but I don’t cache anything and my bandwidth usage is low so it’s probably not too noticeable. I’ll update this post if I get banned at some point 🤡
cantankerous_cashew@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in AprilEnglish232·2 months agoSo basically… this is a blatant cash grab, and a nearly 200% one depending on the level of service you pay/paid for. Wonder how long it will be before the lifetime pass is discontinued and everyone gets forcibly moved over to a monthly subscription model
cantankerous_cashew@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•FCC to get Republican majority and plans to “delete” as many rules as possibleEnglish19·2 months agoCan’t wait until we’re forced to access the internet exclusively through starlink!
cantankerous_cashew@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•*Permanently Deleted*English261·2 months agoThis perfectly illustrates America’s 2-tiered justice system: one for the wealthy and one for the little people. If I torrent copyrighted material, I risk fines/jail-time. If a big corporation like meta does it, then it’s allegedly “fair use”. To be clear, what OpenAI is requesting isn’t remotely close to the original intended purpose of fair use. Worst part is that small/independent creators will (if they aren’t already) be most adversely impacted by such selective application of copyright law
cantankerous_cashew@lemmy.worldto Open Source@lemmy.ml•What projects does the opensource world lack1·2 months agoA self-hosted photo/video viewer which presents itself as an Open Directory that maps closely to the underlying file system and also includes the ability to view images and stream videos. If videos are too large/incompatible with the user’s browser, they should be transcoded on the fly (optionally with the gpu). Genuinely surprised something like this doesn’t exist
cantankerous_cashew@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Least terrible domain registrarsEnglish6·2 months agoSame, I also use Cloudflare dns, tunnels, and pages. Having these all in the same place makes it easy to deploy/keep track of everything
cantankerous_cashew@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•'Jetsons' robot finally arrives: Sweater-wearing Neo Gamma android helps with household choresEnglish2·2 months agoI see this being useful for senior/assisted living care. This isn’t a job many people want to do, doesn’t pay well, and requires ungodly amounts of patience
cantankerous_cashew@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Looking for a VPS. I don't know who to choose.English7·2 months agoI use OVH. Reasonable prices, very reliable, and no bandwidth caps
cantankerous_cashew@lemmy.worldto Greentext@sh.itjust.works•Anon tries to download videos from youtube15·2 months agoIf you’re technically inclined, you can selfhost metube for your friends/family
cantankerous_cashew@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Just discovered #spotdl (https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader). It's a great way to download songs from #youtube with metadata and lyrics, or to just quickly listen to that one song somebodyEnglish2·3 months agoOh yeah don’t get me wrong I love nicotine+ too! I figured I’d link to slskd since this is the selfhosted community after all 🙃
cantankerous_cashew@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Just discovered #spotdl (https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader). It's a great way to download songs from #youtube with metadata and lyrics, or to just quickly listen to that one song somebodyEnglish6·3 months agoI’m not a fan of YouTube’s audio compression algorithm (optimized for saving google’s bandwidth but sounds awful on higher fidelity audio setups). If quality is a concern, I can’t recommend slskd enough
cantankerous_cashew@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Landing page for all my servicesEnglish3·3 months agoI use wiki.js in the linuxserver.io flavor. I have 3 URLs for every service I run: public, LAN, and tailscale url. My “homepage” is a big markdown table with links to all the services. It’s not pretty by any means, but it’s very functional
you can also delete them recursively with
find . -name '*.DS_Store' -type f -print -delete

cantankerous_cashew@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Gimme some evidence that anyone at all in the government is pushing back on Trump with any effectiveness at all. Someone throw me a bone here. 😬2·4 months agoIndeed. Western portrayals of Jesus are likely historically inaccurate, it’s more probable that he was dark skinned
Fun fact, this is from Wikipedia
cantankerous_cashew@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Mini pc arriving tomorrowEnglish3·4 months agoThe pi zero is good for small projects that don’t require a lot of compute, however I personally haven’t found it to be useful in a self-hosted context. Unless you really don’t care about performance, the low specs make it unsuitable for hosting most of the services you listed above
cantankerous_cashew@lemmy.worldto Apple@lemmy.world•Apple Releases iPadOS/iOS 18.2.1 With Unspecified Bug Fixes5·4 months agoI can’t speak specifically to apple’s testing process, but as someone who has worked in software QA, it’s simply not possible to catch all the bugs. Obviously no one wants bugs, so I’ve witnessed past employers try everything from adding more manpower to attempting engineering culture changes to adding public beta programs. None of these meaningfully reduced production bugs. If you or anyone else knows a better way, I’m listening :)
cantankerous_cashew@lemmy.worldOPto Apple@lemmy.world•Apple Says Siri Data Has Never Been Sold or Used for Marketing61·4 months agoThis. Also lawyers are expensive, and hiring a team of experienced lawyers is even more so. A bean counter probably crunched the numbers and found it would be more cost effective to settle now than to fight it out/ run the risk of losing (in which case they may also have to pay for the plantiff’s legal fees)
It was only a matter of time. Plex is a Series C startup, employs 100+ people, and has taken substantial VC investment. Those investors are expecting exponential returns, and a “one-time lifetime payment” will never sustain that sort of growth
