Interesting, I’ve never had this problem and have been using the auto upload for many years. I only use it for the photo taking, though. Any time I go through a phone cleanup and delete photos and videos, I’ll look at the folders I backup to on nc and actually go through them carefully to make sure everything was uploaded.

My install comes from f-droid so not sure if that’s something to do with it (unless yours is too).

I’ve got it setup automated on all my external domains, but trying to automate it on my internal-only domain is rather tedious since not only do I NOT want to open a port for it to confirm, but I have 2 other devices/services on the network not behind my primary reverse proxy that share the same cert.

What In need to do is setup my own custom cron that hits the hosting provider to update the DNS txt entries. Then I need to have it write and restart the services that use the cert. I’ve tried to automate this once before and it did not go so smoothly so I’ve been hesitant on wasting time to try it again… But maybe it’s time to.

What would be ideal is if I could allow it to be automated just by getting a one time dns approval and storing a local private/public key to prove to them that I’m the owner of the domain or something. Not aware of this being possible though.

I’d hesitate disabling it altogether, unless you’re absolutely certain nothing will need it. One suggestion I haven’t seen mentioned is looking at the other sysctl options that might be tweaked. Check with netstat how many of those connections are stuck in established, close wait, time waiting, etc. It’s possible you just need to lower the default values of things like nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established, for example. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/nf_conntrack-sysctl.html - naturally, research anything you think you might want to change before you do.

Unnecessary rant: I actually just had to downgrade my 575(?) driver after spending a few days trying to troubleshoot a freezing laptop. One day I walked away when it happen and that actually gave me the logs I needed to find the Nvidia driver was freezing the machine and then spitting logs out after giving up 10 minutes later (but still keeping things frozen). Was driving me nuts, thinking my hard drive was seeing the light, even though all tests for it were passing with flying colors!

I’m hesitant to try this new version since I didn’t see anything in the changelog about freeze fixes lol.

Daily on my Gentoo server, through a Cronjob every morning. It’s a custom script though, so there’s more than just doing an emerge update. It’ll send me ntfy notifications for the update results, if there are new news items, and if there are any time config merge updates to make. A few other things as well but that’s the main stuff.

Other servers, typically weekly or only manually when I ssh into them (for the ones I don’t really feel the need to update frequently).

“Backfirewall_” from a little while back. A masterpiece that deserved more attention! Highly recommend to anyone here who is big on tech (especially programmers)!

I use it for my media server and have been for a long time.

Tldr: started so I could learn and understand Linux, still use it since I’m comfortable with it and it’s familiar/fast for my needs.

How it started: I kept going back and forth between windows and Linux, but never truly understood Linux like I did Windows. I eventually decided that I should try to install a Linux distro from scratch and learn the entire process manually so that I could understand it at a strong level. Gentoo has some of the best, if not the best, documentation for this. After spending several days going through the entire install process to finally get that login screen and UI up and running, I had learned more about Linux in those few days than I did the previous 3 years. I wanted to keep going, so I kept it on that laptop and continued to learn and become way more efficient than even Windows.

Why I still use it, specifically for my media server: partly because I understand Gentoo more than any other distro I’ve used, so I’m extremely comfortable with it. But mostly because I know every little thing on my server. I never find things I don’t recognize, because I installed it. I made the explicit decision to all the software I installed on my system. And I truly do feel like I’m in absolute control of the entire thing, in and out. On top of this, it’s truly as high in performance as it sounds.

As I type this, my media server is running 76 docker containers (no, not 76 services), 4 of which are game servers I host 24/7 for friends, and I’m only using 32GB of memory. CPU is rarely, if ever, above 20% (12 core Ryzen). The need to upgrade is really far out there, so that just adds to my reasons to continue using it. That being said, I’ve never run something like a Debian media server with all the same stuff on it… It’s very possible it’s just as good, but I really don’t know. I’m too comfortable where I am to spend time finding out lol.

Anyone know of an open source self hosted alternative for apps like this?

I’m shocked how far I had to scroll down before it was mentioned, I was getting scared I would have to say it lol

Add

PATH="${PATH}:~/.local/bin"

To your .zhrc or .bashrc (whatever you use) and either source the file or open a new terminal. Should be as simple as that (assuming +x permissions)

One of only 3 games I’m interested in from today’s announcements. Really hoping to see this one come through soon!

Serious question: am I the only one who couldn’t figure out what this game was called because of the poor font decision (Specifically the first letters)? I now know only because of this Lemmy post lol. Seems more obvious now but my god I couldn’t figure it out earlier
