Defederation is weird and I don’t fully understand it. For example, the community will still exist on a server after defederation, and people can still post to it (albeit now there’s no moderation, and that’s a separate problem). Maybe feddit is pulling in posts from users outside of dbzer0, linking it to the orphaned comm, and populating the posts that way.

Feddit and dbzer0 have (mutually?) defederated, so you’ll only see posts there from your own instance users.
What I get out of self hosting services: Full control of my data and something to tinker with when the fancy strikes.
Graphs? Monitors? Failover? I get enough of that shit at work. If it’s down then whatever: I’ll fix it when the inconvenience is too great to ignore. External users? I only invite people who understand that this is my hobby, not my job.

rpg@ttrpg.network•Cracking a player character's egg out of game?English
1·5 months agoIt seems like the problem you ran into began when EJB left the table and began to act separately from the game.
Personally, I would never let players create a character who is a 1:1 match for a person in the real world. Now you have that player “my guy’ing” about real world events instead of letting the story and other characters impact what they would do. At that point, why don’t we just read that real person’s biography or journal or whatever and skip the game entirely?
Another complication: would this 1:1 IRL person even be comfortable with being in the game at all? If my friends told me they were playing a game and I was a character, I’d ask them to stop. My question, as someone who is not at all familiar with headmates: Why would T/EJB want to be in the game at all, with someone else controlling them? And if T/EJB plays herself, then she’s already getting ejected from my game for misogyny.
I’ve never had to deal with a case where the 1:1 real world person came to exist because of the game, but I probably would ask the player to create a new character at that point. I understand the argument that off-table events can be considered fan fiction, but when there’s a feedback cycle between play and real-life, I don’t think such events can be easily separated.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•[Meta] Removing definitions from Decronym?English
4·5 months agoI agree with the person who suggested linking to Wikipedia articles.
For example, it’s not much help to learn that PCIe stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, because nobody calls it that. As an outsider, now I’m wondering what a component interconnect is. It’s much more useful to link to a page that gives context about how PCIe is actually used.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Is it possible to run a docker host that has no harddrive?English
3·2 years agoYou can host docker volumes over NFS, but the actual container images need to exist on a filesystem that supports overlay (which NFS does not) unless you want things to be slow as shit. And I really do mean miserably slow. A container image shared over NFS will take forever to spin up because it has to duplicate the entire container filesystem instead of using overlays, and then it’ll blow up your disk usage by copying all these files around instead of overlaying them. It’s truly unusable.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plebbit is a peer-to-peer Reddit alternative that allows you to self host and own your own communityEnglish
47·2 years agoFrom that same discussion thread:
We plan on supporting any token/nft/coin for tipping, awards, curating, less captchas, etc. Each subplebbit owner should be able to create their own tokens or nfts to monetize their effort and incentivize their users to participate. Avatars will also be curated NFTs.
The protocol does not use blockchain for data, but the web service itself looks like it would use crypto and NFT to manage aspects of user identity, spam prevention, and monetary incentive.

4·2 years agoThere used to be a similar bug in the Roku jellyfin app.
If you can recreate the subtitle issue using test file 5 from this repo, it might be worth submitting a bug report. https://github.com/ietf-wg-cellar/matroska-test-files

6·2 years agoLook up the GPU on these charts to find out what codecs it will support: https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new
NVENC support will tell you what codecs your GPU can generate for client devices, and NVDEC support determines the codecs your GPU can read.
Then compare it with the list of codecs that your Intel can handle natively.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Migrate Docker Containers from VM to NFS Share?English
6·2 years agoIf you want to move your containers to a different location, look into configuring docker’s
data-root: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24309526/how-to-change-the-docker-image-installation-directoryYou copy
/var/lib/dockerto a new location and update/etc/docker/daemon.jsonI will say: Moving data-root to an NFS mount isn’t going to work well. I’ve tried it, and docker containers rely on filesystem features to run their overlays. On an NFS, this feature isn’t present, so your services will duplicate the container’s entire filesystem. This will tank your performance and is basically unusable for anything but trivial examples. Docker data-root basically needs to be a “physical” disk.
I’ve had no issues using NFS shares mounted as docker volumes. It’s just the data-root where it’ll fail.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How RAID system reliable? possible of raid system failureEnglish
2·2 years agoIf you’re doing it from scratch, I’d recommend starting with a filesystem that has parity checks and filesystem scrubs built in: eg BTRFS or ZFS.
The benefit of something like BRTFS is that you can always add disks down the line and turn it into a RAID cluster with a couple commands.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How annoying is it to connect to VPN/use Tailscale instead of being able to access the service directly?English
22·2 years agoisn’t it an annoyance having to connect to your home network all the time?
It’s less annoying than the gnawing fear that my network might be an easy target for attackers.
Maybe just say “Hey, X isn’t running this game. I am”. If you’re open to their participation, you could add “But if you’d like to join us, would you mind introducing yourself?”. If you don’t want them to join, you could say “Sorry, but I already have enough players for this campaign”
Yes, OP I highly recommend a GL.iNet device. It’s pocket sized and always does the job.
It’s also great for shitty wifi that tries to limit how many devices you can connect. The router will appear as one MAC and then all your other devices can route traffic through it.
As someone who has owned enterprise servers for self-hosting, I agree with the previous comment that you should avoid owning one if you can. They might be cheap, but your longterm ownership costs are going to be higher. That’s because as the server breaks down, you’ll be competing with other people for a dwindling supply of compatible parts. Unlike consumer PCs, server hardware is incredibly vendor locked. Hell, my last Proliant would keep the fans ramped at 100% because I installed a HDD that the BIOS didn’t like. This was after I spent weeks tracking down a disk that would at least be recognized, and the only drives I could find were already heavily used.
My latest server is built with consumer parts fit into a 2U rack case, and I sleep so much easier knowing I can replace any of the parts myself with brand new alternatives.
Plus as others have said, a 1U can be really loud. I don’t care about the sound of my gaming computer, but that poweredge was so obnoxious that despite being in the basement, I had to smother it with blankets just so the fans didn’t annoy me when I was watching TV upstairs. I still have a 1U Dell Poweredge, but I specifically sought out the generation that still let you hack the fan speeds in IPMI. From all my research, no such hack exists for the Proliant line.
Assuming that the disk is of identical (or greater) capacity to the one being replaced, you can run
btrfs replace.https://wiki.tnonline.net/w/Btrfs/Replacing_a_disk#Replacing_with_equal_sized_or_a_larger_disk
I’d recommend BTRFS in RAID1 over hardware or mdadm raid. You get FS snapshotting as a feature, which would be nice before running a system update.
For disk drives, I’d recommend new if you can afford them. You should look into shucking: It’s where you buy an external drive and then remove (shuck) the HDD from inside. You can get enterprise grade disks for cheaper than buying that same disk on its own. The website https://shucks.top tracks the price of various disk drives, letting you know when there are good deals.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•A System for Handling 1 Compromised KeyEnglish
12·2 years agoWhat you’re looking for is a revocation key. You can generate one in GPG at the same time that you generate your identity key. The method of securing it is up to you. In your example, a simple way would be to encrypt it with the 5 sequential keys. Or you could break the revocation key up into K parts with Shamir’s secret sharing algorithm.
This example assumes that you’re using existing Web of Trust PKI to manage your public keys: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59664526/how-the-correct-way-to-revoke-gpg-on-key-server#62644875
