I think that federation will help Lemmy a ton–there will be a lot of small, cheap servers rather than a single extremely expensive one!

Magically, this seems to have worked on Chrome!! Thanks for the workaround–hopefully Firefox is better supported by the Lemmy devs soon!

Edit: And on Firefox too now! Strange, but thanks for your help!!!

I’ve had a ton of issues with Jerboa, but thus far Connect for Lemmy is working well!

I’ve been running my own Nextcloud instance since 2020, which, combined with ProtonMail, has replaced basically everything I was using Google/Microsoft for

Backups could definitely be improved–currently I keep a cold backup (USB hard drive) at my girlfriend’s place, updated about once a month. I also keep the entire file storage and database synced to my laptop’s (2 TB) SSD; not a backup, I know, but it does give me some peace of mind if my server (rockpro64) ever goes down. I’d love to add an additional hot backup via rsync, but unfortunately rent keeps getting in the way of a new hard drive :(

I’ve got Jellyfin on a cheap ($20/year) VPS, and used SSHFS to attach it to some external hard drives attached to a Raspberry Pi. My upload speed is only 10 mbps, but that seems enough for most movies and TV shows, and multiple users can watch simultaneously via SyncPlay. Transcoding works too (up to 1080p)

Agreed that ChromeOS is a linux distro, weird, but a distro nonetheless! I am curious as to what percentage of ChromeOS users have actually enabled linux apps vs those who just use Chrome

I found a deal for a Racknerd KVM VPS on lowendbox.com–I’m not seeing the same one, but similar offers pop up often!
