Make sure the user “bind” and whatever the owner of that folder outside of the container is, have the same user number.

If the postgres container doesn’t start properly, then something’s wrong with the config. Most likely you are trying to expose port 5432 to the host network, but you have postgres already installed there, so the ports conflict.

You can check for those errors with journalctl.

Seems functional. Good work 👍

I guess that would highly depend on how the specific national army is managed. In some cases they allow largely independent brigades to be formed. But in most cases, anarchists would probably opt for a more partisan like defense of the places where they live instead of being send to some far away front as cannon fodder.

Why would you start with such a complex and advanced tool when you are new to self-hosting?

Yeah, that was my first thought.

Probably driven by: then I can put that on my CV. But just playing around with that self-hosted is not going to give you any actionable skills.

Alternative explanation: Lemmy is big enough now for astroturfing 😑

This is a good guide: https://wiki.tnonline.net/w/Btrfs/Replacing_a_disk

Usually you want to replace drives before they fail (SMART monitoring will give you ample warning in most cases). The it is better to have an additional free SATA port to turn the failing raid temporarily into a three-way raid and use the btrfs built-in function to replace the disk in situ.

Mirror (raid1) btrfs raids are fine and are more convenient anyways.

…except email 😑

If you only use it so rarely, why not just connect a USB drive to your network router? Most have an option to serve files from that over the network.

A RasberryPi uses so little power when idleing that turning it on and off on demand makes not a whole lot of a difference. It is different though with OP’s x86 with spinning rust drives.

Well, you can certainly try. Maybe this specific design is sufficiently standardized to repair it with such an kit. As a European I am not familiar with that specific design, but these things tend to have subtile differences making repairs across decades hard. But if you can access it from the backside a full replacement as a backup plan seems doable without breaking the tiles.

If hardness is the likely cause of internal incrustations, you can try to loosen it with some vinegar or other acid. But some strategic use of force is nearly always required when undoing old plumbing.

I just kind of assumed everything was standardized, and new valves would be interchangeable.

hahaha… sobs uncontrollably 😭

Plumbing is famous for being the least standardized craft in the world…

The shower knobs are part of a valve assembly that is likely directly connected to the pipes below the tiles. Unless you are lucky to somehow find spare-parts for this specific 50 year old model, you will have to fully replace it.

It’s anyway an odd design as the mixer seems to be below the tiles as well, making it nearly impossible to replace or fix. Like wtf were people thinking back then?

A modern standard design only has two 1/2" threaded connections (for hot and cold water) exposed through the tiles, and everything else is external, so that there is no need to touch the tiles or the pipes below when fixing or replacing the armature.

Edit: going by some other remarks, this is in the US and it isn’t actually a house with real concrete or brick walls, but rather those cheap drywall contraptions people think are houses? In that case you might be able to open it up from the backside and access it from there, which would explain why they went for such an extremely bad design.

Ugh, difficult one. You might have to remove some of the tiles to replace/fix them. Might be possible to carefully open only a small section to get to the pipes and then install a larger shower panel on top, hiding the broken tiles behind it.

Is there also a way to simulate splitscreen with that?

How else are you going to use it? Ok they have an hosted instance, but that’s not great for privacy and will break as soon as it gets somewhat popular as the sites usually have scraping protections.

This really depends on your exact setup and might not be true for hardware raid.

Generally speaking, I would look into replacing that ageing raid with something more modern like Btrfs or ZFS where you are significantly more flexible with the drives used.

For you to understand: when you say “keep politics out of tech” that is an explicit political position and you are basically saying “politics for me, but not for you”. Or to put it in different terms: unspoken support for the status quo, is a deeply reactionary political position and you are trying to enforce this by “keeping politics out of tech”.

Completely depends on your use, but it is basically ever growing and larger than the typical cheap VPS includes. A few tens of GBs at least.
