I think it has to do with data differences between self hosters and data hoarders.

Example: a self hosted with an RPI home assistant setup and a N100 server with some paperwork, photos, nextcloud, and a small jellyfin library.

A few terabytes of storage and their goal is to replace services they paid for in an efficient manner. Large data transfers will happen extremely rarely and it would be limited in size, likely for backing up some important documents or family photos. Maybe they have a few hundred Mbit internet max.

Vs

A data hoarder with 500TB of raid array storage that indexes all media possible, has every retail game sold for multiple consoles, has taken 10k RAW photos, has multiple daily and weekly backups to different VPS storages, hosts a public website, has >gigabit internet, and is seeding 500 torrents at a given time.

I would venture to guess that option 1 is the vast majority of cases in selfhosting, and 10Gb networking is much more expensive for limited benefit for them.

Now on a data hoarding community, option 2 would be a reasonable assumption and could benefit greatly from 10Gb.

Also 10Gb is great for companies, which are less likely to be posting on a self hosted community.

Interesting. For me it was a set and forget. I check the change notes before updating every month or so, make a very small change to the yaml compose, and I am back in action in under 10 minutes.

Different experiences I guess.

No, the autocorrect literally doesn’t exist.

Do you have the Intel drivers installed on your machine? Are GuC and HuC working?

sudo reboot
sudo dmesg | grep i915
sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/gt/uc/guc_info
sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/gt/uc/huc_info

On Debian I had to manually download the i915 full driver Zip, extract it, take out the Intel drivers, and put it in /usr/lib/firmware

Then hardware acceleration worked on my Arc380.

If you use QSV, your CPU iGPU will be the one that can use it, so make sure to set your render device in docker to the iGPU and not the RTX 2060

You can sync with immich also.

It literally is as simple as choosing which folders to include with the backups. You can set backing up just like google photos.

Otherwise you have to deal with their external library mechanics which has ballooned my 5k photos to a 1.3million in the database which broke immich.

But piracy is a product of their free market, don’t they want their mythical free market to be a free market?

Or maybe that was always just bullshit and they rely on using their money to suppress competition while they deliver a terrible, inferior product.

OK that is fair, though that is not self hosted…

VPS machines are a completely different beast than self hosting. But I guess I only said home use, not specifically self-hosting though we are in a self-hosted community. There are 1000 guides for setting up a VPN on your home network.

To be fair, if something is open by default or very easy to enable without informing about the risks, tons of people will have it exposed without thinking.

It isn’t that “tons of people do it so it is normal and perfectly fine” but more “people don’t realize.” It also uses some nontrivial amount of resources to process and block those attempts, even if they never have a chance of getting in.

There is yet a reason I can find to have it forwarded for home use. Need to ssh into a machine to fix it? VPN.

There are plenty of secure web-based tools to manage your server without a VPN also.

Google keep used to (don’t use it anymore) store your notes “backed up” by email. You could view all your notes in gmail.

Maybe it was something like that?

People have hit on most of them here, but here is another big one:

Fitness apps. Mainly calorie tracking, workout tracking and heart rate tracking

Health app

Sleep as Android

(No, gadget bridge is not a replacement for 99% of cases and doesn’t even support the gold standard for heart rate tracking, polar H10)

For calorie tracking, the massive food databases required, barcode scanning, and crowd sourcing are generally not compatible with the open source community’s privacy ideals. OpenNutriTracker has promise though!

For workout tracking, none of them have any device support and most of them are dead and abandoned. Not to mention heart rate zones, stats and training trends, etc… FitoTrack and Opentracks are good starts though.

And then a google fit alternative. Something that can integrate sleeping, workouts, heart rates, sensors, etc… Data all in one aggregates place. It is a huge task and it makes sense that there is no open source alternative for it. Especially when the components aren’t individually there to aggregate.

Title of the book? I am looking for some fantasy or sci fi to read.

Or I guess that might be doxxing yourself…

Sadly it doesn’t work almost at all with the *arr suite even with flaresolverr.

I have had to move mainly to the small private tracker and knaben because torrentgalaxy and 1337x both stopped working in prowlarr because they had to up their bot fighting game…

Does inkscape have diagram connecting? One of the best draw.io features is the wide array of premade shapes, styles, and auto connecting for flow visualization

I will go out on a limb and say FreeCAD and KiCAD specifically in examples. Right now you have to search forum posts and videos to find out how to make something work and it is always an older version completely irrelevant to the current version.

For other things that need note basic general and setup documentation:

Traefik: It is only decodable to experienced people right now. I tried about 15 tutorials a few years ago and SmartHomeBeginner was the only one that actually was able to connect to the internet and didn’t “rest of the fucking owl” it

Authelia could also use some documentation updates specifically around the area of integrations.

Libopencm3 also could use some more complete documentation instead of basic API descriptions, but the project is not very active anymore

Opensuse Aeon and Kalpa could also use some documentation love, especially Kalpa.

Bandcamp has so much vinyl that I want from artists that I want to support, but shipping it overseas double or triples the cost (even if you buy 10 different LPs at a time, shipping is seperate for many of them) and I can’t afford it. AFAIK, there is nothing like band camp on this side of the ocean

Honestly, go for a Ryzen 5 and use the extra money you save to buy a new gen AMD GPU. You won’t notice a difference between the 7700 and the 7600X. Gaming never utilizes the 6 cores even when having videos and stuff up in the background.

Always overspend on the GPU instead of the CPU for gaming.

You want a prebuilt NUC. That is pretty much it. A Pi generally doesn’t cut it, plus by the time you get all the accessories to make it usable as a server, you are at the price of a much more powerful small PC.

I run a ryzen 3600 with 32GB RAM in a Node 304 and it is very quiet with 12TB red pro helium drives. 4 HDD capable with a GPU and 6 without. However, it still draws 20-30W idle or 50W with an Arc A380 installed.

There is one neat trick: don’t expose SSH.

There is still not a reason anyone has been able to give for 99% of self-hosters to expose SSH.

If you need to access your machine via ssh while on the go. Wireguard to your local network, use SSH. Done. Unless you are running an always-up public facing site, the amount of times you have to access your machine that can’t wait until after work is very low anyway.

Bots will scan all ports. That is just how it works. Less than 22, but you will still get spammed. Why force your computer to go through the fail2ban loop and take up resources when it is simply not needed at all and you can block it on another machine?

Outside of a select couple instances where even mentioning an opposing view without disgust and insults results in furious down voting, reporting, and a ban lol.

Privatevpn allows it over openvpn, but not Wireguard (also independent and not a part of the big corporate vpn net)
