And just looked them up, saw their $2 a month VPS has a 3TB bandwidth limit and I signed up immediately lol.

Thank you!

• and they have Los Angeles, which is perfect

Thank you! I haven’t heard of racknerd/low end box, I’ll have to check them out. Yeah I’m not worried about the CPU just the bandwidth haha.

I have 30 people on my Plex share and never had to care about bandwidth so I’m a bit worried for my end

How much bandwidth is used via the VPS in this instance? I’ve seen most VPS in the USA have a limit of 1TB of bandwidth.

How many users are you sharing with?

I know Hetzner does 20TB bandwidth, but that is only EU servers as far as I know.

I use KeePassXC/DX with Syncthing for 5ish years now. I think I had one database sync conflict in all that time.

Super solid, never have had to worry about these shenanigans with LastPass or 1pass or bitwarden or whatever

And another thing I have not heard yet. Dokploy looks really enticing just from a brief look at their site, I’ll definitely add it to my list of things to look into. Thank you!

How long have you been running this type of setup?

How is swarm support/integration with Dokploy? Are you able to initiate the swarm and also connect other docker nodes to that swarm all through the webgui or does Dokploy just see and attach to the swarm after its been setup? Are you able to manage it all through the gui? Swing/motion containers to other nodes, etc.

I’ll definitely need to deploy it in a test environment and see how it all works. Thank you again!

Glad to hear I’m not crazy with different distros haha. I wanted to be able to have different “enviroments” to keep familiar with release schedules, package managers, and just the flow of the distro. I’ve been using nothing but Debian/Ubuntu in my homelab for ~10 years now, at work we use RHEL, and for my desktops I’m on Arch. I’ll have to look into pinning.

I’ve never heard of Nomad(love the name) so I’ll definitely add it to my list of things to research. Looking at their site it looks solid, but want to weigh my options once I’ve loomed at everything.

And thanks for your comment! I’ve been doing this a long time and nothing “tickles” my brain more than something in my homelab breaking and I have to figure out how to fix it and then prevent it going forward.

Hmm, I’ll have to play around with it a bit more then to see if I can trigger it.

My only gripe is the browser autofill. Sometimes it triggers correctly and sometimes it doesn’t. I’ve noticed if I let KeePass add in a new login itself after I’ve manually entered it then it’s much more receptive to suggesting that login correctly going forward. So I’m tempted to create a brand new database and login everything manually so KeePass will create the database entries itself to fix my gripe.

I’ve been using KeePass with Syncthing for 5+ years now and I think I’ve only had a sync issue once in all this time.

Granted I do make sure I only use the database on one device at a time (so not making edits on desktop and my phone at the same time) and I’m using XC and DX clients not the OG KeePass program.

I’m curious what is causing sync issues to make it “common”, I use my db every day.

Yup, been doing this combo for 5-6 years now.

I use KeePassXC on desktop and KeePassDX on Android. No issues whatsoever.

I do have a NAS so that’s my “always on” device for Syncthing. Everything syncs up within like 10-15 seconds when a device connects.

I also use a key file as a pseudo 2FA that I keep on a flash drive, so you’d need my master password and my key file to unlock the database.

Thanks! I had no idea about this, wish it was a little more robust but I’ll definitely be sharing this app with others!

Well I found good alternatives(Fossify stuff) or most apps I use already have GitHub releases. I just need to try these apps out and if I dont like them then find other alternatives. Like map apps, calendar, voice recorder, etc. Again I found alts, just not sure how they’ll actually function until using them.

My biggest one is the Steam app for their authenticator. I read some stuff online that Aegis supposedly can work as a Steam auth, but yeah.

I’m about to make the switch myself. I have a Pixel tablet and a P9 Pro. I swapped my tablet over just so I can test things out. I want to deGoogle completely. No play store.

So far I’ve had to make a list of all my apps I have on my phone and go one-by-one seeing if there’s an apk for it somewhere outside of play store, and if not, then if there’s an alternative app, and then website or PWA it is.

I’ve come to realize I have a lot of unnecessary bullshit on my phone to begin with. Think I’ll make the switch this weekend, just need to find a few more alternatives to specific apps.

netbook

Damn, I haven’t heard that in a long time…and you’re completely right. It is a netbook and we do need more of those in this new world(even though I don’t like what that means(ownership of hardware or lack thereof)).

Right, kick ass. Well, don’t want to sound like a dick or nothin’, but, ah… it says on your chart that you’re fucked up. Ah, you talk like a fag, and your shit’s all retarded. What I’d do, is just like… like… you know, like, you know what I mean, like…

It’s hilarious how Apple was caught off guard to begin with.

Just going off of the triangle of “cheap-fast-good”, the Neo literally hits all three categories really well.

The majority of standard users only need a web browser nowadays. I’m not sure if it can view/sign PDFs and send print jobs, but I’m sure it can, and all of this covers the 99% use case for a household device.

I’m the tech guy of the family. Linux nerd, GrapheneOS on my phone, blah blah blah. If my mom needed a new laptop I would 100% recommend the Neo and be done with it. No frills, no bullshit. Shit I want to pick one up just to play around with it because it’s CHEAP, even though I dont like Apple’s ecosystem.

I’m not sure how it would fare as a college device(test taking, remote screen sharing, proprietary programs, etc) but even for middle schoolers and high schoolers this should cover most, if not all, bases.

I really don’t get it either. Like it’s some impossible task to just stop using certain apps or some shit.

I don’t use social media(except Lemmy, I guess, if you count that(I don’t)). The only notifications I get on my phone are from texts. I haven’t touched Tiktok since 2019. I don’t scroll YouTube shorts 24/7.

Everyone’s acting like this is some drug or addiction. And maybe it is to some, but again it goes right back to self control.

Read the article, just a bunch of morons who have zero self control.

Isaacs specifically pointed to the 1990s as a time with “a lack of phones, more personal experience, but also still some of the ease of modern technology.”

Just this alone shows they have no idea what the 90s were like.

“Waaah my phone does too much, I just want an iPod!”

Delete social media, download Spotify and boom, your phone is an iPod again. Or turn off all notifications on your phone and buy one of those iPod clones.

“Gen Z” acting like the world was better before social media but they have no idea how to function without social media. If they went in the theoretical time machine back to the 90s they’d have a mental breakdown trying to find their way to the local McDonald’s.

I mean I get where you’re going with this, but I still don’t see how this effects Linux. Oh no I can’t access reddit without a government ID…cool I don’t use it anyway?

And if Lemmy or whatever else requires one then oh well, I’ll find the dozen or so forums that don’t care then

This has been the biggest and dumbest take I’ve seen come from the GenZ/GenA crowd. Polaroids were a big hit a few years ago and I can’t help but wince at this stuff. Yeah it’s cute or whatever to hold it in your hand, but in 1, 5, 10, 30 years…when that photo or DVD is bent/scratched/lost, you’ll be kicking yourself in the ass for even bothering with it.

Just pirate your content, take photos with your $1000 phones and print the photos out, and learn to backup your own shit. Buy a 2 bay NAS and backup your shit to it. And then backup your NAS to a cloud like backblaze.

My dad has been doing this since the early 2000s. We have our family photos AND videos from 1990-2026 all backed up on a NAS, which syncs to backblaze. ~600GBs of data. And the cloud backup on backblaze is $7.25 a month for that data.

Literally anyone can go buy a a $200 2-bay NAS, then grab two 1TB hard drives for $40 each. $280 for a NAS that will last you YEARS. And then figure out whatever service you want to backup to for a cloud backup.
