Great! Thank you!

Thank you very much for the info! Maybe I’ll give it a shot again.

I’d also suggest Immich, but with a warning. On their GitHub page, they state:

Did anyone actually use this over a longer period of time, including updates, etc.? How did it work for you?

I think …

If I remember correctly …

I don’t want to fact check what I said right now, because I’m in the bathtub. I’m just talking from the top of my head.

I probably had this in my head, so nothing major.

Questions:

I think, the default docker-compose.yml and lemmy.hjson state that the PostgreSQL password and the pictrs API key have to match? If I remember correctly, they both have something like {{ postgres_password }} as default. I found that weird, but I also didn’t question it.

What do you do if one service requires PostgreSQL 15 and another service requires an older version or something like that? Again, if I remember correctly, Lemmy devs recently downgraded PostgreSQL in the default setup for some reason.

I don’t want to fact check what I said right now, because I’m in the bathtub. I’m just talking from the top of my head.

Don’t get me wrong, I use a similar setup for my homelab, because I hate spinning up several instances of entire database servers just to get a service running. But I’d be lying if I claimed that I never ran into issues with that setup.

Did you look at the logs? If you’re running through docker compose, that’d be docker compose logs --follow container-name.

Oh, it was just a couple days ago and I’m not 100% sure if it was that instance. I faintly remember something about a hated episode or entire series? I’m not sure. I’m not a trekkie. I just remember that it gave off powermod vibes to me and I saw that a couple times. Didn’t spend any more attention to that, though, because I live by the standard live and let live. As long as nobody on my instance reports anything, I’m not going to act in most cases.

For amd64, Lemmy dev Dessalines pushes images to his Docker Hub repo usually right after a new version comes out.

Since they don’t release arm64 builds anymore, I build them regularly and push them to my repo, which can be found here.

I’m not sure what to think about that instance. I saw some weird stuff in the mod protocol recently, if I remember correctly… Like some drama going on, etc.

LOL no.

I have a VM at OVH that’s a couple years old by now. I pay only a couple € for it each month. On that I run Mailcow and it works just fine.

For anyone else wondering: This is an alternative YouTube frontend, nothing federated.

You can’t log in with Google, you can log in with your Piped account.

Content is scraped from YouTube’s site the same way NewPipe does it.

Wonderful!

LibreTube. Uses Piped as backend and has pretty much all the features that NewPipe has, including SponsorBlock.

You can create an account on one of the numerous Piped instances and log in with LibreTube, to have things synced. Since Piped is open source, you can even selfhost it, if you know how. My Lemmy instance (FOSSware) also has a Piped instance.

Thanks for the heads-up. 😀 It’s not that I consider VB.NET to be my favorite language. I just wanted to say that I don’t feel alright with all the “hate” that I’ve seen in the past when it comes to programming languages. I often see people ask what their first programming language should be and the “gatekeeping” answers are really annoying. Maybe gatekeeping isn’t even the right word…

Got it, but on the other hand (and as someone else commented): With the right settings, VB.NET can be en par with C#, for instance. They both compile to the same MCIL code, so it should really boil down to a matter of personal preference, right?

I feel that many people don’t know that and tend to think back to C64 Basic, etc. and just laugh it off.

I mostly use it for personal projects, yes. I also enjoy other “hated” languages like PHP and Java. To me, they’re just tools to accomplish a task. I also like to play the UNO reverse card: I personally hate projects that run with Electron, for instance. Such a waste of resources, things don’t integrate well into the DE, etc.

May I just ask how VB.NET code isn’t maintainable? Not attacking you here, just out of curiosity. My board game server and client together amount to multiple thousand lines of code, as they’re very feature rich and at the moment, it’s not really hard for me to maintain things. It’s not public yet, though. Still active development phase.

I can use both VB.NET syntax and also C# syntax just fine. I’d even go as far and state that, apart from the syntax, VB.NET is just as good as C# (after some settings adjustments, like Option Strict On, etc.).

I do understand that Visual Basic syntax is kinda alien, though.

I didn’t make it! :) I think, @fmstrat@nowsci.com made it.
