  • What to do with a Z69 Android Box?

    Jump

  • Haha :-) I was seriously considering hosting my own KBin or Lemmy Instance on my Homelab for a bit, but then I figured it would be just for fun (which is not a bad thing) and will just consume electricity and space for something I use once or twice a day and I use almost exclusively alone. So it won't even contribute to the community. I am not even sure if it would be fast enough, but that sounds like a nice Sunday afternoon project to just prove that it works (or doesn't) for fun :-)

    Jump

  • That's a good Idea too. If I find nothing else, before it sits here any longer, I will ask around my friends and colleagues and ultimately it will go to a thriftstore. I do not like to throw away stuff that still works, so this is a really good idea. Thank you :-)

  • Hmm... Smart Mirror like Magic Mirror? It's the first time I hear this... looks really interesting! I will look into this. I always wondered where to put a panel you easily see, but is not intrusive to show some information you should know for the upcoming day... Smart Mirrors sounds like they tick all the boxes!

  • It could have been a cheap entry into the Z* topic, that is why I asked specifically for those 2. I have no real need currently for Z* devices at the moment, but I am curious and might start with a USB dongle in the future... but that one then can go directly into my Homelab anyway. Thanks for the suggestion :-)

  • What to do with a Z69 Android Box?

    Jump

  • That is what I did until recently with my other Box that has an AMD T40E... but then it had to run Nextcloud that I wanted to move from an external hoster to my Home and it was just too slow to be usable. So my Homelab (just a MiniPC) has to run anyway 24/7 for the family and it has all the other Containers as well. To save a bit of power on that one, the Minecraft Server (that even in idle consumes quite some CPU cycles) can be turned on / off by the family via a button in Home Assistant :-)

  • Ooooh, I totally misunderstood then. Thank you very much. So everything is allright then :-)

  • [D4] How to get to those peeps?

    Jump

  • I must have klicked it a few seconds before I spotted the guys on the left. But I can not tell for sure if they spawned when I clicked the altar or if they where already there.

    What is the math behind that?

  • [D4] 1080p players, do you see a difference with the high res textures?

    Jump

  • Thank you! That is what I thought, probably not noticable during normal gameplay. I saw some pixelated textures when creating my character yesterday and I had the impression some textures looked better during the cutscenes which are zoomed in very much, but this is like less than 1% of the game. I think I will just save my bandwidth and ssd space for now.

    Liftoff not available an all Android devices?

  • Pre-register to get notified when Boost for Lemmy is available to install

    Jump

  • I'm glad to read that! Boost was the Android App that did not melt my ancient tablet and drain its battery within 45 minutes. I am happy to see that it will come with Lemmy support... and 2nd that wish for Kbin support :-)

  • I have the feeling that there exists a song about this...

  • Steam Next Fest wraps up today, what did you play?

    Jump

  • The Invincible was the only one I tried and I was really looking forward to it. I love the artstyle and although it does not seem to be a game that´s very "gamey" (if that makes sense), it has the potential to tell a great story in a fantastic setting... but I will wait for the reviews once it is out. But I really liked what i saw in the Demo.

  • Why we need to move on from kbin.social

    Jump

  • That is also holding me back. I am hosting tons of stuff myself, all dockerized, but I was not able to get kbin up and running yet. I wish someone would manage the images, so we can just pull, edit a .env and run / upgrade it.

    For me the whole process always hangs at a step that seems to have something to do with the php setup. I tried on different servers, even created a fresh Ubuntu 22 LTS and still had the same problem. I am sure I am doing something wrong (probably editing something incorrectly in the settings), but the process it not as easy yet as it is for the other services I am hosting at the moment.

  • A Visual Guide to SSH Tunnels: Local and Remote Port Forwarding

    Jump

  • SSH Reverse Tunneling is super useful to get remote systems connected which only have very limited internet access through mobile carriers. They usually do NAT and you have no chance to connect to these sites with a dial-in VPN or other technologies that require YOU to connect to the remote system. So we just create a reverse ssh tunnel with autossh that is kept alive by the remote system itself and we connect back to the system to the ssh tunnel. Since ssh is installed anyway, that is one of the simplest and most versatile options to connect to these systems for us.

  • Should we be cross-posting to equivalent communities between instances?

    Jump

  • I see. Thank you for your reply, also to @grus. I will go the manual route for now too until we can do it right from our posts :-)

  • Should we be cross-posting to equivalent communities between instances?

    Jump

  • OK, dumb question probably but a quick web search did not help me (also my fault probably). But how do you crosspost? Do you need to @ place the other community names in the Subject or in the Tags or in the Text of your post?

  • Which to host for a single user instance: lemmy or kbin (or others)?

    Jump

  • I really want to self-host Kbin, since I like the interface and approach of it a bit more than Lemmy. But since building the docker images failed on my Homelab, I spun up a fresh Ubuntu LTS 22 Server at my hoster and ran through the Admin Docs again... sitting here still after 15 Minutes it trying to build the PHP image and it does not seem to make any progress. I wish we could pull the images and run it without building them ourselves. But kbin is in its early stages, maybe someone will push built images to a registry in the future.

    If this runs for another hour without any progress I guess I will call it a day and try Lemmy next.

  • Deep Rock Galactic - Season 04: Critical Corruption - Out Now!

  • Rock and Stone brother!

  • What are some of your LEAST favorite game mechanics?

    Jump

  • I hate stealth mechanics in general, it is just not my type of gameplay. It is the reason I stopped playing Death Stranding, although I loved everything else in it, but being forced to use stealth mechanics was so off-putting to me, I just stopped playing and can't go back.
