Ah. Thanks for the explanation .

Is it not possible to use thunderbird (or any email client) wirh tutu (or any email provider)? I thought you could plug in your email provider’s smtp and imap/pop information and your account credentials into any app.

Did…did you start a lemmy community for people to talk about not talking on lemmy…on lemmy?

I have a numebr of backup systems going on, but if i take “cloud” to mean “offsite” then my sution to that is a proxmox backup server set up in my home (great for proxmox PVEs but you can back up anything to them) and my friend 3000 miles away also has one in his home. We each set up sync jobs so our local backups are also stored on the remote proxmox backup server.

You posted something in the wrong community? That’s mildly annoying. Oh but wait, that’s this community, so i guess you posted it in the right community, which is not mildly annoying. But that means it’s in the wrong community, which is mildly annoying…

That’s great to know!

Thanks for that info, @AtariDump@lemmy.world

I highly recommend OPNsense over pfSense for the UI improvements alone, but there are other reasons to use/support OPNsense over pfSense.

Can you list or summarize some of the other reasons?

Before Linux command line?

Thanks, @scsi@lemm.ee!

Using your own domain definitely makes it easy to get back up by just switching providers. But what about all your historical emails? If your original provider goes poof, what’s the plan? I connect via IMAP, so all my emails are stored on the provider’s servers, right? Or do email apps keep local copies, too?

Are there backup services for emails? I seem to recall Outlook having some kind of archive feature (I haven’t used outlook in decades), but I think I remember it was only recoverable in outlook and even then, it was a pain to search for a particular email.

Congratulations!

That sounds like a possibly difficult decision. Good luck.

I host tt-rss in docker and use Tiny Tiny RSS in GrapheneOS.

When I install qbittorrent via docker, I see this in the docker logs:

qbittorrent-1         | 2024-11-04T15:25:25.201955254Z The WebUI administrator username is: admin
qbittorrent-1         | 2024-11-04T15:25:25.201974066Z The WebUI administrator password was not set. A temporary password is provided for this session: H7ct3xPes

That’s the default admin credentials for the instance. I can then change the login or pw in the UI.

Same here. I get slightly frustrated by seeing the same post on multiple instances, but I understand why people do it.

When I want to interact with a post, I start with the one that has more responses, and maybe never even get to the others.

This is really fascinating. I’m on this journey, too, and do a lot that’s similar, but I’ve not heard of some of what you do/use and some of it sounds beyond my capabilities.

Well, I wasn’t able to figure this out and was just living with duplicate audio coming from the echo and the media player mostly simultaneously. But today I upgraded ESPHome from 2024.6.6 to 2024.7.0 and the problem is gone. Sheesh! :)

I’m trying to deGoogle/deFAANG/deBigData so I try to host FOSS alternatives to every service I use on the internet, though some services won’t be possible or practical (e.g., email).

I host:

• audiobookshelf (to stream and sync podcasts between my devices)
• baikal (to host contacts and calendars)
• cryptpad (for collaborative spreadsheets and kanban, though it does more than this)
• drawio (flowchart-like diagrams
• forgejo (my git repos and oauth2)
• homepage (personal dashboard of services and links)
• invidious (youtube frontend)
• lemmy (duh :) )
• minio (S3 object storage)
• mosquitto (mqtt server)
• nextcloud (can do a lot, but I’m only using it to look at Memories for photo storage and management - I currently selfhost Photostructure, but it’s not FOSS)
• peertube (youtube alternative)
• prometheus (metrics monitoring)
• qbittorrent (torrents)
• syncthing (currently only used to sync photos from my pixel to my server, but might be replaced if I switch to a photo management app that has an android app that can sync images)
• tiddlywiki-nodejs (pretty powerful wiki, but I use it just to sync text-based info between devices)
• traefik (reverse proxy in front of everything I host)
• tt-rss (RSS feeds)
• vaultwarden (password management - this is a fork of bitwarden)
• wordpress (for my personal websites)
• xbrowsersync (bookmark syncing between browsers/devices)

I use the d.rymcg.tech framework. It’s a little over my head, but the framework makes it pretty easy to use all the apps. It’s a bit tricky to add new apps to the framework, but it’s fun and all the source is there to learn from and the developer is really nice and really helpful.
