Not wrong, it is shady. Though the NTDEV guy behind it does have some (sparse) information on their patreon about how and what tools, mainly seems to be done with osdbuilder. Comes down to trust as with anything on internet, I just need to run chkdsk.exe on drives from time to time and the smaller it is the better.

Tiny11 iso

Quick google search it seems your only options for HA are Xiaomi scales with bluetooth paired to a mcu with esphome.

I’ve enjoyed The Will Of The Many (J. Islington) between reading/waiting for Stormlight books, it’s a bit on the YA side but the world and “magic” system is interesting and the second book should release (I think) in early 2025

I’ve read the Long Earth which is co-authored with Terry Pratchett and loved it. Haven’t had the chance to read his solo works though.

The closest thing with the remote stuff and media will probably be https://libreelec.tv/

Usually if the author pulls the game you can’t get it anymore if you didn’t already have it before, afaik.

There is also Tiny11 iso flying around somewhere which is a lot smaller and less resource heavy then usual windows vm.

I would really recommend just trying it out too (when RL time allows), all of the low-level stuff is often well hidden or not required to deal with unless you need it, well most of it is and everything having mostly one solution is a nice refresh compared to the hells of scripted languages.

- A long time python dev.

“Import-time” execution was a huge mistake.

Your use-case and situation seems very close to mine except I specifically do not host communities.

First of all, you can run as many services from single nginx as you want (or can handle), usually you do this by having each service on it’s own (sub)domain and routing it all to the same IP, nginx then proxies the requests to the corresponding service running locally on a given port (see nginx reverse proxy).

I would definitely recommend docker images unless you have specific needs, afaik the ansible recipe installs and manages a docker compose project too (unless they also added official bare-bones ansible setup). Might be wrong here, I do docker and manage it myself, updating is usually a file edit and two commands away.

About the VPS being enough - from my monitoring, every foreign subscribed community increases the load, with bigger/more active communities increasing it more.
The main limiting resource for my setup is disk space, sometime ago I’ve calculated my database size is increasing about 1G per month with about 500 subscribed communities and that’s only the postgresql database size without any media. The stats from my s3 provider (you can host images locally too), hint that I am gaining 1-5GBs of media per month.

I don’t have any metrics how much the amount of active users drains the server as my instance is intentionally small, but I can imagine that having 10-100-1000 active users at the same time would drastically increase the load of at least postgres as well as increase the bandwith.

And about my setup for comparison, I am renting a dedicated server from Hetzner (AX41-NVMe) running a bunch of other services as well (minecraft server, factorio server, file sharing service, …) and as of the last 30 days my monitoring reports the “average” load average (same for all 1/5/15m) being around 1 core (out of 12 core processor, 6*2 smt).
Memory is sitting at about 50% month average out of 64G.
Though, most of the services are really under-utilized (minecraft) or don’t require much (factorio).

Rule of thumb, if your users subscribe to a lot of outside communities expect at least increased disk space consumption, at worst also increased bandwidth and load.
If any of your hosted communities get popular on the wider fediverse, definitely expect increased bandwith and load - more servers hitting your server with more data (upvotes, comments, edits…) means nginx, lemmy and postgres also need to process more.
At baseline there will be a lot of a spiky but small chatter from other instances and the biggest resource drain will be postgres.

I wouldn’t personally go into this with anything less then 4 vCPUs, 32G of RAM and non-shared/virtual storage (disk latency kills postgres performance).

You might have more success with something like wireguard tunnel for escape hatch/reverse tunnel.
I did the forever reverse ssh tunnel once and it wasn’t really stable.

Weird, did not load at all or just got stuck ?

TLDR: Not a bug, feature; Or works as intended:)

…but few-to-none of the comments/votes did. Everything since subscribing is entirely in sync.

That is by design, if every instance automatically synchronized (federated) every post and every comment from every other instance …the whole fediverse would explode?:) well it would at least require a loot more resources hosting any/every instance.

As for the “loading history”, if you take a true url[1] of a post or comment, insert it into the search bar of your instance, it will load it (and it will be visible in the corresponding community). One problem are votes, afair lemmy does not even offer a mechanism to let other instances see all historical votes, do not confuse this with votes that are already federated, the moment you subscribed is the moment the instance hosting that community started forwarding everything happening from now on in that community to lemmy.ml (your instance).

[1] - true url here means from where the resource originates/which instance is hosting that comment/post/community; You can find it as the little fediverse button on each non-local resource (comment/post/community).

E: I see others beat me to it haha

Are you browsing from jerboa ? I’ve noticed it doesn’t play the gif:/

I know, I’ve linked that to show the correct mimetype.

Is your web server returning the correct mimetype for the FooBar.mp4 file ? Also codecs part should probably look more like this: type='video/mp4; codecs="av1, ogg"' (omit the ogg in your case)

E: if you are opening the html with the <video /> element as a file:// in firefox, you probably wont be able to load resources from http:// (only https:// it seems), and it will show the same error in this case but it’s because of security not because it can’t decode the media. You can see the detailed error (for loading the file) in developer tools ctrl+shift+i and switch to network tab.

Your second example has wrong type for that file should be video/mp4.

There is winapps that does the bottle thing for you in a background vm.

Absolutely valid move here, we started a mp server, three total players and while we didn’t do any kind of rush, we all agreed most of us will need a lot more hours to actually get to play with everything properly.
