Nextcloud it just too heavy I totally agree, and everything feels slow and sluggish.

For just files I use Syncthing and couldn't be happier, it just works in the background without a central server just syncs the files between phones, PCs and laptops by itself. I set it up like 5 years ago when I had enough of Nextcloud and to be honest most of the time I forget that I have it, but I use it every day to sync my password database for KeePassXC, my music, my private and work documents between all my devices.

I also still look fondly back on Objective-C

Interesting, April 20 is also Hitlers birthday so it has symbolic significance to all the neo nazis.

But don't all other servers host copies of it? So if a server is hosted in Turkey then they could tell that server to block access to that content a least from Turkey or not?

Two things can be true at the same time.

I saw rimu is already in contact with rikudou about it in the piefed matrix chat. It seems there are several things preventing it from working.

I have the same problem. It shows this error:

There was an api error: We could not discover any admins for this instance software. Please Ensure your software exposes this info. If it's exposed in a novel manner, consider sending us a PR to be able to retrieve this infomation.

Perhaps it is because I have a PieFed instance and not Lemmy?

That's a good investment Jensen.

I'm not sure if bullies respect and like you more if you give them your lunch money.

Most of the time the VPS provider offers some backup solution. It's not only about your configuration files which can easily be recreated, but about all the user data like pictures databases, etc. Which once lost can't be recovered.

Best practice is a 3-2-1 backup: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/the-3-2-1-backup-strategy/

But you could back up your stuff on your laptop if you want, it's not such a bad idea actually. For that you trigger the backup script from your laptop, you can do it automatically there too. This makes sure that the laptop is on while you're doing the backup.

The easiest way is a crown job and a bash file which runs a couple of rsync commands to get specific files and directories from the server via ssh.

A more involved way would be a backup system like restic, which does a lot of things for you but is a bit more involved to set up.

I totally understand him, the Americans, Russians, Chinese, North Koreans in the end are on their own to fight against their authoritarian governments.

 

A survey of over 100,000 Germans revealed that 94% won’t buy a Tesla vehicle. It doesn’t bode well for the automaker, whose sales had already been falling off a cliff in the important European market.

In 2024, Tesla saw a 41% reduction in sales in Germany compared to 2023 despite EV sales surging 27% during the year.

This has already raised red flags about Tesla’s future in Germany, but it is nothing compared to Tesla’s performance so far in 2025.

Tesla’s sales were down 70% in the first two months of 2025, and again, that’s compared to its already poor performance in 2024.

 

Donald Tusk told parliament on Friday that if Russia took control of parts of Ukraine, then Poland would find itself in a “difficult geographical situation.”

He said: “We are preparing large-scale military training for every adult man in Poland. Our goal is to finalize the plan by year’s end to ensure a well-trained reserve force ready for potential threats.

“If Ukraine loses the war, or if it accepts the terms of peace, armistice, or capitulation in such a way that weakens its sovereignty and makes it easier for Putin to gain control over Ukraine, then without a doubt—and we will all agree on this—Poland will find itself in a much more difficult geopolitical situation.”

Talking to reporters, Tusk later clarified that he was not announcing a resumption of basic military service.

“If I were proposing a return to basic military service, I would say so. We have several models. One of the most appreciated ones is the Swiss model,” he said, adding that in the latter system training is “not compulsory, but there are incentives that cause men to opt for annual training.”

 

I've been using different software during the years to keep track of my pictures. None of them - other than Facebook - allowed to tag faces in pictures manually when the AI failed to do so. That was always very frustrating because some of the most important pictures I wanted to have there were not tagged and there was no way of manually doing it.

This is until today where this feature finally landed, I'm so excited, this will make the app much more useful. Now we could even pretend our cat Leo is a person and just tag his face manually ;)

 

"The real benchmark is: the world growing at 10 percent," he added. "Suddenly productivity goes up and the economy is growing at a faster rate. When that happens, we'll be fine as an industry."

Needless to say, we haven't seen anything like that yet. OpenAI's top AI agent — the tech that people like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman say is poised to upend the economy — still moves at a snail's pace and requires constant supervision.

 

Over the years I accumulated very many services which I host myself and each of them has it's own URL:

  • 6 websites, mine and my sisters
  • 3 instances of home assistant
  • Uptime Kuma
  • Synology with photos on it
  • Matrix server
  • Firefox sync
  • TinyTinyRSS
  • Mastodon
  • PeerTube
  • PieFed
  • Immich
  • Open WebUI (for local large language models)
  • UniFi (CCTV)
  • Baïkal (Cal- and CardDav)

I'm probably forgetting some of them now and I'm planning to host more in the future.

The problem is how to remember all of those URLs or domains. I have a system how I call them, but my extended family can't really remember them.

I think it's time for a landing page. Do you guys have any suggestions?

I run my HomeAssistant on a RaspberryPi 4 from a SD card. Two days ago I did a upgrade to the newest version (I don't remember if it was HomeAssistant or the Operating System) and since then it does not boot anymore.

I connected it via HDMI to a screen and got those errors:

It looks to me that the SD card is corrupted or something. Any idea if I can fix it in any way or do I need to redo the setup from scratch?
