Self-hosted media server to share with 5+ people? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

Yes, you can expose jellyfin via a reverse proxy or through a vpn like tailscale to your friends.

Quality and speed depends on what client they use, what transcoding hardware is in the server and your internet speed. For most usecases, a newer Intel based CPU can do 5-8 streams at once without issue, so it will likely depend on your internet connection.

I have an Intel N100 based mini PC on a 1Gbit/s upload connection running Jellyfin that I share with some friends. Usually 2-3 streams at once and it handles it well. Most of my media is in H264/MP4 with AAC audio, so they rarely transcode.

How do you like to transfer large files between friends across the internet? in c/[email protected]

Matter sounds neat and all, but it's still wireless on the 2.4 GHz band, so it will still have the same amount of noise that Zigbee does.

How are you feeding this cat, while you are gone?

Get someone to take care of the cat while you are away. Either relatives, friends or some kennel/petcamp. You will feel better knowing the cat is in good hands if it's condition should worsen and the cat will feel safe.

Are there any self hosted news aggregators? in c/[email protected]

I'm sure one of the self-hosted RSS servers can do what you need. Look up TinyRSS, FreshRSS and the like.

Fish 4.0 Shell Released With Code Ported From C++ To Rust in c/[email protected]

I tried fish a couple of years ago, but it was just different enough from bash, that it hindered my work.

Maybe 4.0 is when I try it out again...

Yeah, I'm also waiting for a couple of "apps" to have NC 31 compatibility.

What hardware do you use for Nextcloud? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Mine is a small N100-based machine with 2 SATA SSDs in it. 16 GB RAM and it also runs many other services.

The better the hardware and connection, the faster the interface will be.

The about page says it started as a one-developer team, but is now expanding. They mention both a US and a UK postal address.

Nextcloud Hub 8 (version 29) is here! (nextcloud.com)
 

This seems to be a pretty great release.

If they are to be believed:

  • Federated chat using Nextcloud Talk
  • Performance optimizations for most things
  • Circles enhanced to Teams with lots of new features
  • Assistant 2.0 brings new AI features for productivity

I'm most hyped about the performance improvements. 😁

Resolution restrictions on Plasma Wayland? (lemmy.linuxuserspace.show)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi all.

Happy KDE Plasma user for a long time and I generally love the desktop experience. But I do have one small issue.

At work, I have 2x 4K displays. connected through a Dock. But in Plasma it's only able to give me around 1080p resolution on both of them. In contrast, the display manager SDDM and TTY displays 4k on each fine.

So am I missing a trick to get the max resolution in Plasma? My install is Arch Linux, kernel 6.4.12, Plasma 5.27, Wayland session.

I did install the displaylink AUR package, as I thought it might be the dock limiting the video output, but it isn't as TTY and SDDM seems to display it correctly.

Happy to hear any thoughts and any ideas. :)

EDIT: The screens turn on and work fine with 4K resolutions in a Plasma X11 session.

Using Linux in a Windows work environment (lemmy.linuxuserspace.show)
 

My work place is a Microsoft shop through and through, so all their stuff is based in Azure, Active Directory, Outlook, O365 and Citrix. And they provide my with a Windows laptop for work, which is really great.

The only issue I have with it, is the Windows part. So I took it upon myself to see if I can use a Linux install for work in a Windows environment. So I took my already installed private Linux laptop to work and it seemed to be going alright, expect that it's an old laptop at this point, so the GPU was not good enough to run the screens and the Bluetooth version was to old for the peripherals.

So this weekend I took the plunge. I cloned the Windows drive with CloneZilla (in case of emergency, you know) and installed Arch Linux on my work laptop as the only OS.

And so far, everything has worked. Except for 1 small detail that I totally forgot about! Printing. Specifically label printing, as we do ship some stuff around the country. The printer in question is a Zebra label printer G420-something and is set up on the internet Windows network at work.

I've been at work all day and I haven't been able to setup this printer at all.

This is mostly a rant and acknowledgement that running Linux in a Windows work environment is possible, but it's also a small whimper for help to see if anyone has managed to be able to connect to a network Windows printer.

I've setup a default Samba and Avahi system, but it won't "probe" for the printer. I don't know the exact name/hostname/IP of the printer either.

Lemmy Safety now supports cleaning local pict-rs storage from CSAM (github.com)
 

tværpostet fra: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/3076577

I posted the other day that you can clean up your object storage from CSAM using my AI-based tool. Many people expressed the wish to use it on their local file storage-based pict-rs. So I've just extended its functionality to allow exactly that.

The new lemmy_safety_local_storage.py will go through your pict-rs volume in the filesystem and scan each image for CSAM, and delete it. The requirements are

  • A linux account with read-write access to the volume files
  • A private key authentication for that account

As my main instance is using object storage, my testing is limited to my dev instance, and there it all looks OK to me. But do run it with --dry_run if you're worried. You can delete lemmy_safety.db and rerun to enforce the delete after (method to utilize the --dry_run results coming soon)

PS: if you were using the object storage cleanup, that script has been renamed to lemmy_safety_object_storage.py
