Always remember: RAID is not a backup.

Having only one backup and the server dying means you now have no backup, therefore the 3-2-1 scheme for backups is worth looking into.

That depends a lot on what you’re hosting resp. if the mobile apps are using Google’s/Apple’s messaging/notification services.

Not sure if it makes things easier than your current setup, but take a look at Mediathekwebview.de

You can use -f /path/to/compose.yaml to call it from wherever you like.

The official NC docker container uses the “www-data” internally to run the services. This will get important if you ever want to run tasks via “docker compose exec”.

Have a look at kimai.org

The have a self-hosted option and apps (didn’t test those though).

You can use quite a number of “underlying” distributions, it mainly depends on what you like (Arch-based ones, Debian-based ones, etc).

As a desktop environment, have a look at XFCE or LXDE.

What are the main advantages to plex?

AFAIK they offer more apps resp. apps for more platforms. Apart from that, nothing really. Maybe a little more idiot-proof.

Debian as a server base OS is well-tested and (for me) ultra reliably stable.

FreshRSS, + Readably on Android. Has worked well for me for years.

Overall it was fine, took a moment to find the proper Traefik settings, but after that it ran basically fine. It’s just too “unstable” for me at the moment from a development standpoint, moving too rapidly. Maybe I’ll do another one once it has matured and slowed down a bit.

How much do you think is the percentage of bot accounts?

…yes.

Is Lemmy having problem with bot farming?

Will have one at some point. For not it seems most of them are created, but don’t post anything (yet).

Wait, why only for Eva? What about all the others?

Always-online singleplayer is bullshit, and we all know it.

This means I’ll almost certainly come to rely on games which I can pause. Unfortunately this isn’t possible with Diablo IV since it requires an always online connection even though I’m essentially playing it as a single player game.

There’s a difference between always-online SP and essentially one-person MP games though.

It sucks that they did it that way, but at least it makes slightly more sense there.

A kind of “extended” 3-2-1, more a 4-3-2. As nearly everything I host runs on Docker, I usually pause the stack, .tar.bz everything and back that up on several devices (NAS, off-site machine, external HDD).

The neat thing about keeping every database in its own container is the resulting backup “package”, which can easily be restored as a whole without having to mess with db dumps, permissions, etc.
