Yeah I’m not a minimalist

I’m using Authentik with openID or saml for all my sso. I don’t want to ever touch LDAP.

Rehike. It’s meant to be a re implementation of the older hitchhiker youtube layout that youtube had back between around 2015-2020. It doesn’t do anything for privacy but that’s not the point of it so I don’t mind. I’ve tried things like newpipe and invidious but youtube is around 90 percent of my media consumption so having my history, likes, playlists, and recommendations synced between all my devices is too much for me to give up.

So far I’ve managed to

Mine is very prone to this because I’m running it myself and I’m a dumbass

Whatever I’m feeling at that moment My server is “bigdellthing” because it’s a Dell r620 My laptop is “lily-legion-5-pro” because I was feeling unoriginal My other laptop is “hunterbidenslaptop” because there were some dumbasses talking about the damn hunter biden laptop conspiracy theory by me

My first Plex server was an old laptop running windows 8

Not on my server but it’s the distro I’m most familiar with and that means it’s also helpful for my laptop

*she

A recent Arch Linux ISO is usually all I need

For awhile I just constantly ran a stress test on one core

This is why I don’t use any of the *arrs. 90 percent of what I pirate is anime or music which they don’t work well with at all.

my server is just server

It’s caching posts from other servers so that if you have an instance with a few hundred or thousand people on it and they all open the home page you don’t send out thousands of requests for each post and end up DDOSing a bunch of other servers.

Yeah with matrix it’s really bad. I’m aware of a whole 5 matrix servers. matrix.org, the one that’s run at my university, mine, and my 2 friend’s matrix servers

Also all matrix clients are currently shit

ZFS on server. Btrfs on laptop.

Not accidentally buy a server that takes 2.5 inch hard drives. Currently I’m using some of the ones it came with and 2 WD Red drives that I just have sitting on top of the server with SATA extension cables going down to the server.

I have my monitoring software running on my VPS so that if my server goes down for whatever reason I can still look at what might’ve caused it to go down. I also have Authentik running on it because I need my authentication system running to be able to login to said monitoring software. Lastly I have Mastodon on my VPS because the internet at my parents house doesn’t have the upload bandwidth for it.

I have all of this running on Oracle Cloud Free Tier. I don’t trust oracle in the slightest but I’m a broke college student so I take what I can get.

fucking hope not

Considering this is going to be around a 5 user instance at most I think I’ll be good for awhile. Thanks!

must’ve only copied the text layer out of gimp instead of the whole image

A NAS or Nextcloud or some other way of having files available remotely.

Having a big box with a lot of storage that you can put things on from anywhere is so incredibly useful.

did i finally get a functional lemmy instance running?
