I second this. And the transition was made easy due to anti-consumer practices. Plus, you can take your media on-the-go for free

Strava alternative? (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by LazerDickMcCheese@sh.itjust.works to c/opensource@lemmy.ml

I need to track cardio with terrain data, but I'd rather not trust Strava with my privacy. I know there are some alternatives, but which one is the most reliable and feature-rich? I don't have smart accessories, just and android phone. Preferably, I'd like an app that let's me track added weights for calorie purposes (like rucking).

They have the money to do it. And historically, the CIA has done similar things globally for decades

I know interested people don't like to talk about it...but we, the people, should really be moving away from Discord. A bucket of water doesn't fix a burning house, ya know?

We can't take that risk

I've tried installing it about a dozen times over the past year, but it always gives an "unable to get image" error. So I'm wondering if there's an alternative that does everything paperless does...but lets me use it

First, let me say that this is the worst phone I've ever owned. I don't have have "fuck it, I'm buying a Pixel" money right now, but I'd like to try un-ruining my phone if possible. And what are the best ways to back up my phone before the switch?

Can I get your sources?

Have we gone full-circle back to MySpace?

I'm going to eat at least 5 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches today. I'm working on pushing my pb&j tummy to its max, and my record is 5. And these are thick ones too. I've found thay the secret is pre-mixing the peanut butter and jelly in a 1:1 ratio before spreading it on the bread because it doesn't leak and is easier to eat quickly.

I bounce around a few public Sear instances, its working great for me

Never thought I'd see a day where people feel compelled to circumsize their cars

I'm out of the loop and a novice, what's wrong with it?

I promise you, the Pi-hole is a great and simplistic tool. Just look at my post history, if I can get this thing running you can too. I can't give you a full detailed post right now, but you need a card to load the files up. I used an SD card loaded with DietPi (they have tutorials on this) and it sets itself up pretty easily once you set up SSH (I use putty, it's also great and easy to set up). As far as the model of Pi goes, most people say you can use whichever you want because its not resource intensive, but I went with a model that has a native Ethernet port, and its been 10/10. Good luck, I can help you out more later if you'd like

I got Jellyfin up and running, it's 10/10. I love this thing, and it reinvigorated my love for watching movies. So I decided to tackle all the other services I wanted, starting with Paperless-ngx...

What a nightmare. It doesn't have a Windows install so I made an Ubuntu VM. Don't get me started on Ubuntu. I just spent about 12hrs trying to get Portainer to cooperate and had to give up. I tried just installing Paperless the "normal way" and had to give up on that too.

My point: if you're getting started selfhosting you have to embrace and accept the self-inflicted punishment. Good luck everybody, I don't know if I can keep choosing to get disappointed.

Edit: good news! Almost everything I wanted to do is covered by Jellyfin which can be done in Windows.

Amazon Replacement? (sh.itjust.works)

Is it possible to one day replace the privacy nightmare of Amazon with a decentralized merchant network? All I really use Amazon for these day is aggregate customer reviews by query, then buy the items as direct as possible. Why can't respectable tools to this instead? I understand the cost, but could the tech be adopted?

My Pi-hole is handling my DHCP, and I have Tailscale set up for remote access.

But how to I set my devices (for example, phone outside of my LAN) to route as follows: device > Pi-hole > NordVPN? Is that even possible?

The end goal being to combine the benefits of Pi-hole with a paid VPN, regardless of location.

I have converted almost everyone I know in my age group, so some care. I think its mostly a lack of education issue, but trying to teach people probably gets interpreted as a bad sales pitch so I don't push anymore. I do my thing, people see it and ask questions, slow victory

Old PC as Server (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by LazerDickMcCheese@sh.itjust.works to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I have an early 2000s PC (pre-SATA) with 512MB RAM (I'd love to tell you about the CPU, but its under a cooler that isn't going anywhere) that's been sitting in closets for about 15 years. Assuming I'm willing to buy into it, can something like that reasonably host the following simultaneously on a 40GB boot drive:

Nextcloud Actual Photoprism KitchenOwl SearXNG Katvia Paperless-ngx

Or should I just get new hardware? Regardless, I'd like to do something with this trusty ol business server.

Edit: Lenovo or Dell as the most cost-effective, reliable self-host server in your opinion?

I'm just diving into self-hosting, and I'd a way to have a constant cloning of my phone in the background, preferably FOSS. Does anything like that exist?
