.dev domains are required to only be reachable via https. You’ve not mentioned that in the post, so I’m guessing port 443 is not serving or even listening.

I’d delete the screenshot with your IP visible. You never know…

But he doesn’t even wield absolute power. The bit he does hold seems to have been enough.

Majority of openrc/hardened/selinux binhost setup is done, need to figure out the small things.

Lemmy was also giving a bit of a headache, fiddled with limits some more.

I’m fairly certain there’s been an attempt to play with some opnsense config, but there was only time to install the updates. Or maybe this was last week 🤔

Whole path has to be accessible, not just the file itself. All dirs above the file need to have the executable bit set that affects the user accessing the file.

Lemmy.cafe checking in

So does mumble!

I’ve not read all of it, but if you’re referring to the stuff at the beginning - none of those limitations apply to 5700xt.

If you mean something else - then, naturally, I would ask if it actually affects your media in the first place. It might, but I wouldn’t expect that.

I mean if you’re keeping the GPU - you can just set jellyfin to use VAAPI and utilise the gpu that way.

• https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/VAAPI
• https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration#Configuring_VA-API

in case you want to tell me what I have is fine and I don’t need an upgrade

What you have is fine and you don’t need an upgrade 😁

But we’re not looking for fine, are we? :)

I would keep the gpu and get as many cpu cores and ram as my budget allows. Once you cross into “stupid amount of RAM” territory you can start utilising tmpfs for transient things such as jellyfin transcode directory to:

• preserve those precious ssd writes (not really relevant anymore)
• make it more efficient (feels-good kind of relevant)
• running a filesystem in ram is really cool (most relevant, naturally :D)

No, comercial IPs are fine. You’ll have trouble with some of them - Digital Ocean is a notorious example - where the provider itself blocks outbound port 25 and there’s nothing you can do. I think DO only does that for new accounts.

I myself am running it on Linode - it did get purchased by Akamai a couple of years ago, so I can no longer blindly recommend it - but so far it’s been working fine. One thing I did recently discover was the ability to request a /56 block on Linode - my pre-assigned IPv6 got blacklisted somewhere as at least the whole /64 and simply generating another IP from the same /64 did not help. Getting a fresh block solved it for me, though, and now I know that if this /56 gets blacklisted - it’s my fault. Unless, of course, I get caught up in a /48… 😳

You won’t be able to host email on a residential IP - all of them are on a permanent blacklist. I understand the money argument - and it’s a real argument - but host your own email is just so cool!

Look, ma, we’re famous!

Yea, exploding heads made the rounds a couple of times, but after actually checking them out it became clear it’s run by a teenager surrounded by other 10-15 teenagers. A few main instances blocked it and it died. The main teenager then started hilarious chaos as a whitelist-only instance, but because it did not attract anyone - federation was reenabled at some later point.

There’s a difference between a couple of edgy teens and a big set of ideological morons who keep causing trouble.

Defederation is a nuclear option - at the time user-level blocking was not a thing; nowadays it’s not a problem.

TL;DR - freedom of speech as much as possible, with limits when it becomes necessary.

That is literally the way it works now. As an example - go to https://phtn.app/. Photon is a UI for lemmy. That specific website is hosted by the developer and you can log into any instance. I think Alexandrite and Voyager webapps act the same, but I haven’t tried them, so can’t be sure atm.

I’m a syaadmin now, but self hosting nextcloud is what got me my first IT job. I now host a bunch of stuff (even email!), lemmy included.

how did you decide that you would like to self-host? I wanted my friends to play a cs1.6 map I had created.

dire problems, including those that accumulate over time

That’s not a thing. You create problems over time by experimening in what is, effectively, production load. If all you ever did was install any distro and kept it up to date - not much can break. Granted - shit happens, but it’s incredibly rare.

As an example - I’ve set up my mail server in May 2019. Chose archlinux, because I never wanted to go through a big upgrade. The only exta software installed there is mail-server related. Direct from the repos. I’ve become confident enough that now there’s a nightly cronjob to update the system with a hook to reboot if kernel or init gets updated.

In all those 5 a bit years I’ve had one issue where I hqd to revert a kernel update.

Another example is tang on an ubuntu server. This was at a previous workplace, but essentially it’s a piece of software from the repos. Originally installed on 16.04, has gone without reprovisioning all the way to 22.04. I’ve now left the company, but I hear it’s still running.

Upgrading an ubuntu desktop fleet with a myriad of custom software, on the other hand… let’s just not talk about it.

Democracy does seem to cater people just below average. Good monarchs can easily beat that, but then the new problem presents itself very quickly - good monarchs are far and few between.
