That’s unfortunate, but I hope the voice actors get what they want. I really love the English VAs for the new regions so I want to hear more of them. In the meantime, I’ll be using the other languages.

… and since !genshin_impact@lemmy.world doesn’t get pulls megathreads, I’ll be bragging my pulls here instead :P

I used to do beets and cmus but eventually moved to MusicBrainz Picard and Strawberrry Music Player. I sync to my phone with syncthing.

It’s time to learn Dwarf Fortress.

I also really like the tunnels feature. It makes self hosting at home easy for those under NAT/CGNAT or whatever it was called.

Porkbun asks for your ID now so that might not be “privacy-respecting” but their CS is very helpful from my experience.

I have domains in Netim and Spaceship, and I have no problems with either so far.

You should be taking a screenshot of your desktop, not taking a picture of it at a weird angle.

Wait a minute.

The closest I achieved was Firefox with Tridactyl and Minima theme.

pict-rs has the option to compress images. Ours is set to WEBP with 1280 pixels either side max.

ArchWiki has a list: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Discord#Third-party_clients

Ripcord is really unique and it’s still my favorite third party client. Abaddon might be worth trying. Unfortunately, most other third party clients are wrappers.

I found discord-screenaudio to be a better solution.

I’ll check it out. I use discord-screenaudio myself.

I don’t remember which update it was but newer versions of Lemmy use significantly less database storage.

I recommend checking out lowendtalk.com if you’re shopping for VPS hosting providers.

Sounds good! NVIDIA cards work well with Resolve on Linux.

Are you using an AMD card? You might run into some trouble.

Also there’s a codec suppport list here: https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/SupportNotes/DaVinci_Resolve_18_Supported_Codec_List.pdf

It says that for Windows, only 8-bit H264 is support on free. For Linux, H264 is only supported on Studio. On MacOS, it’s supported on both free and Studio hence why you have no problem there.

One of the GitHub issues says it’s closed source now.

I’m sure the original spirit of selfhosting is actually owning the hardware (whether enterprise- or consumer-grade) but depending on your situation, renting a server could be more stable or cost effective. Whether you own the hardware or not, we all (more or less) have shared experiences anyway.

Where I live, there are some seasons wherein the weather could be pretty bad and internet or electricity outages can happen. I wouldn’t mind hours or even days of downtime for a service whose users are only myself or a few other people (i.e. non-critical services) like a private Jellyfin server, a Discord bot, or a game server.

For a public Lemmy server, I’d rather host it on the cloud where the hardware is located in a datacenter and I pay for other people to manage whatever disasters that could happen. As long as I make regular backups, I’m free to move elsewhere if I’m not satisfied with their service.

As far as costs go, it might be cheaper to rent VMs if you don’t need a whole lot of performance. If you need something like a dedicated GPU, then renting becomes much more expensive. Also consider your own electricity costs and internet bills and whether you’re under NAT or not. You might need to use Cloudflare tunnels or rent a VPS as a proxy to expose your homeserver to the rest of the world.

If the concern is just data privacy and security, then honestly, I have no idea. I know it’s common practice to encrypt your backups but I don’t know if the Lemmy database is encrypted itself or something. I’m a total idiot when it comes to these so hopefully someone can chime in and explain to us :D

For Lemmy hosting guides, I wrote one which you can find here but it’s pretty outdated by now. I’ve moved to rootless Docker for example. The Lemmy docs were awful at the time so I made some modifications based on past experiences with selfhosting. If you’re struggling with their recommended way of installing it, you can use my guide as reference or just ask around in this community. There’s a lot of friendly people who can help!

Matrix but then I realized I only used it for the bridges so now I use Beeper instead. RIP my Matrix server which only served two people.
