I am the administrator of Laguna.chat.
I sirt it manually. I just rip a CD, edit its metadata with MusicBrainz Picard then place all the MP3’s in a folder for just the book and then move it to the folder of the author.
Once scanned by audiobookshelf I modify the metadata a bit more and then let audiobookshelf combine the book to one file.
Probably welcoming, not every Reddit employee stands behind the decisions made by their management.
If they enjoy to browse Lemmy more then Reddit it doesn’t automatically make them unloyal to their job or a enemy of Lemmy.
I use duplicacy to backup to my local NAS and to Storj.io. In case of a fire I’m always able to restore my files. Storj.io is cheap, easy to access from any location and your files are stored and duplicated on multiple different locations.
I have used duplicity before but restoring from a new installation takes a while, as duplicity has to reanalyze the storage.
By having an actual policy. That lists the usage of data, 3rd parties and the responsibilities of the instance owner.
Is this the federation killer?
The Netherlands/ASML has no choice. The US is threathening NL with trade allegation, because the US fears the Chinese’s technical advances.
Well, you joined the most overcrowded Lemmy instance. Its administrators a currently working on it. But they didn’t expect this many users.
In the meantime I recommend joining smaller instances. Which are able to handle the load. Like my own instance :).
Well, Windows isn’t that popular in the computer scene. Linux is by far more popular for servers, IoT devices (payment terminals, heartrate monitors…) and critical systems. But Windows has an edge in the PC scene. But to be honest a Apple Mac is also in the formfactor PC. These charts are always way of, just because their definition and monitoring techniques are not trustworthy.
The problem with Linux: it is opensource and free, and everyone can rebrand it. But at the same time everyone wants to make a euro out of it. There are a lot of companies that misuse its license by closing the source.
Audiobookshelf is da bomb! You are going to have a great time while installing it, using it and sharing it with friends and family.
If you need help just send me a DM.
The top three instances a currently overcrowded. I recommend checking out a smaller instance (for example https://laguna.chat).
Smaller instances are still able to access to same content. But it is just a different server that processes the content.
Page loads are snappy and lightning fast at laguna.chat :). Open signups and open for new communities. Hosted in Germany and GDPR ready. https://laguna.chat
First of all, I’m not a lawyer or a legal consultant, just a instance admin that wants to make sure that his instance complies.
Lemmy does not store any PII (birthdates, legal names, addresses,securitynumbers). But users are able to share whatever they want. And that can be a problem.
Check out my instances legal page: https://Laguna.chat/legal
In the future I want to make sure that my instances content can only be shared by GDPR respecting instances.
Fairphone 4 running /e/OS. I love the modularity, quality and robustness. Just the fact that if I drop my screen I can just replace it for €80 using my own hands.
/e/OS is still in development, which you sometimes notice, but I love its privacy focused aspects. It is decoupled from Google, includes a tracker monitor and blocker, an appstore that can download apps from the Google Play store anonymously and best of all the developers do deliver. All their releases are well tested.
The only thing I struggle with are in app purchases. If they use the Google Play platform they just won’t work.
I bought this phone from Murena, which is a branch of the /e/Foundation that sells devices with /e/OS preinstalled.
I accidentally posted using the wrong account. I tried to delete the other post which seemed to work on the instance but doesn’t seem the federate.
Have you tried integrating a caching mechanism? Or tried assigning more memory to PHP?
I am a fan of Namecheap.They have lots of exotic domains. Domains are easy to manage, free domain privacy but their support is really slow and a bit incompetent.
For local domains, like: .UK, .US, .DE, I register there locally. Thus making sure that all my service providers are capable if handling the local privacy laws.
For DNS I use cloudflare.
Still faster than Windows :)
I didn’t know that KDE and Xfce are that close to each other. I really KDE on my daily driver, at first I wouldn’t run it on a server, but now it seems to be a perfectly viable option.
Welcome to Lemmy!
KDE is my daily driver. I love its infrastructure, its programs, its software, and that I can subscribe to new developments.
That’s great. I really want to play Apex.
Contabo and NetCup are really cheap. But only if you use their shared VPS option. If you are lucky the CPU steal is low.
