I created a post (see it here). I want to include a picture gallery. Reddit refugee, so no idea how to do it. I went to Imgur and uploaded via there. Is there a better way?
You can use the ability to put images inline in posts/comments to get multiple images working, but there isn't a convenient "gallery" functionality with sliders and whatnot in Lemmy just yet.
The host I have it with does have backups, but they cost money and I want to do this as cheaply as possible.
So far I moved the thing from ext4 to btrfs so I could do compression and deduplication to get the "on disk" size as small as I could (without killing CPU usage, of course).
And now that I have btrfs I can also take advantage of snapshots and btrfs send/receive.
My overall plan is to use my provider's snapshotting tool every week or two (likely automatically via their API), and btrfs send things to an unused laptop at home on a more frequent basis. This way, if things do go wrong, I can immediately roll back a week (or two), after which I can "fast forward" to the latest daily(?) backup I have.
Of course I have no idea if this will actually work in practice...
It is battle tested, standardized, widely used, have open source servers and apps, end-to-end encryption (OMEMO), self-hostable and are low on ressources and federated / decentralized....
For completely private services, the obvious answer is a VPN. But what about the ones that need to be "partially" public? Whether just read only, or with restrictions to publicly registered accounts....
Why YSK: You might be used to Reddit where you can't edit titles. This is important both for the errant poster, but also for the person coming from ages in the future who might stumble upon it.
I already have Nova Premium (my preferred launcher) which is what people have recommending. Was thinking of getting Stardew Valley since it's only $5 but I did some research and apparently the mobile version is a bit out of date, idk.
If you're the kind of person who already bought Nova then you probably already have it as well but look into Tasker just in case you haven't heard about it yet.
So Podman is an open source container engine like Docker—with "full"^1^ Docker compatibility. IMO Podman's main benefit over Docker is security. But how is it more secure? Keep reading......
The other big annoying thing about Podman is that because there’s no Big Bad Daemon managing everything, there are certain things you give up. Like containers actually starting on boot. [...] until you realize that means Podman wants you to manage your containers entirely with systemd. So… running each container with a systemd service, using those services to stop/start/manage your containers, etc.
Surprisingly, they have a solution for that that doesn't involve using systemd for everything. They put an --all option to podman start, and a systemd service to run it at boot with the correct --filter (yeah. because unix philosophy). Debian seems to enable it by default AFAICT.
No idea how well it works rootless though.
Edit: Oh and for rootless networking, Podman 4.4.0 seems to ship pasta which seems to be the solution to slirp4netns's existence. Unfortunately I have no idea if it works at all because I run Debian stable which is still on 4.3.1
How do you set up a server? Do you do any automation or do you just open up an SSH session and YOLO? Any containers? Is docker-compose enough for you or are you one of those unicorns who had no issues whatsoever with rootless Podman? Do you use any premade scripts or do you hand craft it all? What distro are you building on top...
And then when they inevitably get found out and scatter, use the reputation you have to keep lurking among them. Lull them into a false sense of security while exfiltrating useful information outside.
There's a ton of issues with the UI I want to address and there's a number of things I want to experiment such as how communities are subscribed to, so I started writing a new UI in SvelteKit. I also have Capacitor setup which would allow this to triple as a native iOS and Android application....
At this point I might as well release it onto the wild. No clue If I'll work on it until there is a definitive answer to the CORS question: https://github.com/ShittyKopper/lemmik
All this new excitement with Lemmy and federation has got me thinking that maybe I should learn to run my own instance. What always comes up though is how email is the orginal federated technology....
I feel like I'll eventually have to... mailbox.org upped their prices from 1 EUR/mo to... whatever they are right now, and on top of that I'll still need a VPN to access heinous sites such as pastebin (welcome to Turkey), which is another 5 EUR/mo.
For that money I could get an alright enough VPS from Hetzner and spend some time getting everything configured properly, and have bonus flexibility in terms of hosting anything else I might want to host.
The problem with this ofc is that no "turnkey" mail bundle seems to give a shit about resource usage as far as I'm aware, and I'm worried they'll end up hogging all the server resources for themselves.
I am currently prototyping (and I do mean prototyping, the code is a MESS) an automoderator-like bot. Can I host it here or should I look for another instance?
Is there a way to create a picture gallery?

How do you handle semi-private services?

YSK that you can edit titles on Lemmy, unlike Reddit.
