Illecors

What has worked for me quite well over the last few years was answering the phone without saying anything. Spammers usually are dead silent as it’s just a voice recognition bot waiting for a “hello” or similar and hang up within a couple of seconds if nothing is said. Regular people have “static” most of the time. I’ve had a few recruiters call while having their mic on mute, but they start talking themselves fairly quickly.

Thanks for a genuine laugh!

Maybe different pricing? Loading https://membership.theonion.com/ from across the pond shows 99 annual or 9/month

OMG this is a thing! Seriously evaluating my need for 9 bucks every month!

Testing this hypothesis on your comment.

I only have the indoor one, but Reolink is fine. Used it as a baby cam. No cloud bs, supports an rtsp stream. App has gone downhill, but due to rtsp I sort of don’t care.

Happy it works for you!

I’m running it on arch so that I never have to go through big upgrades. Been over 5 years now - so far, so good!

In regards to docker - it’s just a container. You can make any executable run a container. I quite like a lean system myself, though.

I don’t use voyager, but worst case - you could just use a browser.

Does this link work? irc

Be the change you want to see!

I’ve never heard of mailcow specifically, but I was intentionally avoiding all-in-one packages when setting up. Life has proven that good things aren’t easy and easy things aren’t good.

And so far I’m happy with that decision - setup is modular, was already able to extend it with postfwd, dual dkim signatures (rsa and ed25519), mta-sts and some other policy I can’t recall right now.

I’ve also specifically wanted to run as little code as possible that’s exposed to the internet - as such, I chose to not have webmail.

I don’t, but I could probably come up with one next weekend.

I roll my own. Postfix, dovecot, spamassasin and dmarc friends. Easy to setup? No. But takes about an hour/year of my time to maintain once the ball is going.

Thanks for getting into the specifics!

No, it’s not just EU. Proton mail is the first one I saw, haven’t checked for others.

It is created by the samw dev as pixelfed - wouldn’t be surprised if parts were reused to bootstrap quickly.

Irc is not federated, though. Servers don’t talk to each other

Takes half a minute to start playing, which gets annoying real quick when a toddler gets involved with all the short videos.

Random buffering every 10-15 minutes on most 1080p as well as 4k videos.

Random buffering every couple of minutes on certain videos - the whole of the office us is the last one I remember.

Crappy multi audio track support - some of them play, but most don’t. What was most infuriating at first was jellyfin happily selecting the track I want in UI and then just playing the default one anyway.

The UI is kinda crap - I understand moving on a tv screen is more difficult, but god damn - what jellyfin is doing with arrow navigation is plain masochistic.

When it works - it’s beautiful. But it rarely does so for long enough.

I really want to like it, but it’s doing its best to push me away.

And before you suggest anything - I’ve already tried everything there is to try that’s available on the open internet. Happy to hear something that’s never been posted anywhere, though!

I can only vouch for my setup; many variations are available.

• Nextcloud - files, photo autoupload, contacts, calendar
• Postfix and dovecot (and a bunch of friends) - email
• Pixelfed - private instagram. Can federate, but I’ve never enabled that.
• Opnsense - firewall, vpn, adblocking via unbound. Wireguard is my choice, but any would do. I get all my lan stuff available everywhere.
• Jellyfin - media library. It’s kinda sucky, though, thinking of going back to plex, unfortunately.
• Lemmy - well. You know what it is :)
• Graphene on a pixel

Hit me up if you ever decide to go self hosting route and need a hand with a thing or two!

I’ve always wanted to archive stuff, but storage costs keep getting in the way. Any idea if there’s some trick people use to get around it? I’d love me a tape robot, but that’s stupid expensive.

Can’t recall what the title was, but I do remember reading a guide of sorts that essentially boiled down to “start following tags first, you can filter people later”.
