Unfortunately, as Lemmy doesn't appear to have an indexed search function I am not sure if this is a common question or not. Please point me to the necessary thread/s if this is answered elsewhere.

I'm looking to continue the ball rolling on my home server. Jellyfin setup was a nice dive back into networking, which I haven't done for quite some time and the logical next step is to get all the data we want to retain into a single hub.

Most searches seem to point to syncthing with nextcloud, but before I get started, I want to check I am really going in the right direction.

I would like to primarily remove the space burden from my devices and dump them all onto a few drives and a cloud backup (in case of physical loss of drives). I believe syncthing can do this, but some appear to say that it is not an effective archive tool.

I would like to be able to retrieve this data without much hassle for e.g. photo editing, and place the finished file back on the server. Preferably the local copy would be removed again, to reduce the need for extra space on each device. I would like to run this over nextcloud, but might be misunderstanding the software a bit.

Allons nous assister à un retour des Gilets Jaune dans les prochains jours ? Depuis plusieurs semaines, le climat politique et social en France s’enflamme. D’un côté, un gouvernement fragilisé : François Bayrou, Premier ministre, s’apprête à jouer son avenir dans un vote de confiance décisif le 8 septembre, sur fond d’austérité budgétaire et de coupes sociales massives.

De l’autre, un pays traversé par la colère : la mobilisation du 10 septembre, née sous le mot d’ordre « Bloquons tout », se prépare à paralyser le pays pour dénoncer le trop plein d’une population à bout de souffle, rappelant forcément les mobilisations de la période 2018-2019. Un mouvement avec pour toile de fond, une société fracturée où les crises s’accumulent – explosion de la pauvreté, précarité grandissante et inégalité sociale se multipliant sans que des réponses durables ne soient apportées.

Dans ce contexte, dans notre nouvel “Entretien d’Actu” nous recevons aujourd’hui François Boulo, ancien avocat et figure des gilets jaunes de l’époque. Avec lui, nous allons décrypter ce moment politique : qu’est-ce que révèle l’isolement du gouvernement Bayrou ? Quel rôle peuvent jouer les syndicats, les politiques et les mouvements sociaux dans la séquence qui s’ouvre ? Et surtout comment transformer cette colère diffuse en véritable rapport de force ?

A short while ago, I saw a blog post from someone about modernizing their shell. Unfortunately, I lost the blog post, but there was some really good stuff in there. Just mentioning this in case someone knows what I'm talking about.

One tweak I remember they mentioned was about fixing programs that have broken formatting. It prevents scenarios like

user@hostname:~$ echo "hi"
hiuser@hostname:-~$

where the output and shell prompt get placed on the same line. I noticed this happens with bash with C programs that don't include a \n in the final printf statement.

Fuck Rockstar. I changed my email accounts a few years ago but forgot to change Rockstar first. This wasn't a problem. Now, after buying GTA V on Xbox and Steam and sinking a lot of time into it over two accounts, they added some mandatory launcher on Steam that forces you to login to their Social Club. Mandatory launcher calls an account that I can't unlink, triggers mandatory 2FA to an email that doesn't exist. They refuse to help despite my willingly handing over a lot of private information - their support system is as good as fake. The end result is I have sank >£100 in buying their games and they ensure that not only do I not get to continue my account on GTA V, but I have been permanently locked out and actually impossible to play any Rockstar Social - walled game on Steam.

Partial 'correspondence' of my third attempt to get help from them. Twice they ignored the support subject.

Judging by other complaints online this exact issue has persisted and screwed over players since the creation of GTA V, so at least 12 years.

I have the same issue with Activision, and here's the kicker. They're exactly the same blueprint. Same support. Same result. Same fake-ass Western names on their signature.

I feel like Rockstar needs to be continuously pressured, injustices talked about, just in case they give.

Just don't give corps like Rockstar money.

Additional:
(from Schwaggaccino • 2y ago • Reddit)

I emailed Rockstar and started a request ticket and they want me to log in to get me to reset my 2FA which is preventing me from logging in.

THIS IS PEAK CLOWN WORLD I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMEONE ACTUALLY GOT PAID TO IMPLEMENT THIS JOKE OF A SYSTEM

When I go to the fedia.io site, I only get a login site.

I am trying to understand why the mod of !bside@fedia.io got banned.

It's a super chill indie gaming community, no drama, I enjoyed the content that was posted there.

I wrote about my motivations and thoughts on switching away from centralized social media and to the Fediverse with some thoughts on self-hosting.

My rack is finished for now (because I'm out of money).

Last time I posted I had some jank cables going through the rack and now we're using patch panels with color coordinated cables!

But as is tradition, I'm thinking about upgrades and I'm looking at that 1U filler panel. A mini PC with a 5060ti 16gb or maybe a 5070 12gb would be pretty sick to move my AI slop generating into my tiny rack.

I'm also thinking about the PI cluster at the top. Currently that's running a Kubernetes cluster that I'm trying to learn on. They're all PI4 4GB, so I was going to start replacing them with PI5 8/16GB. Would those be better price/performance for mostly coding tasks? Or maybe a discord bot for shitposting.

Thoughts? MiniPC recs? Wanna bully me for using AI? Please do!

We're having an event for Software Freedom Day. It is a world-wide event, and we are having one right here at Montclair State University in New Jersey.

September 20th, 2025 from 11am-4pm

We'll have talks about what free software is, and why it's important for everyone. What kind of software is available for your existing computer, and how you can use Free Software to use your computer past the date that the manufacturer wants to keep updating it. There will be a talk on self hosting, so that you can run services that reduce or replace your reliance on outside big tech companies, and keep better control of your data. Talks about Wikipedia and Open Source are proposed. There will also be a talk on Social Networking with free software called "Mastodon and the Fediverse" that will show how you can network with people without giving your data to big tech, and without the algorithms that don't work in your best interest.

Here a link for more information:

We'll be happy to discuss any details.

Hiya,

I have a bit of a dilemma with my DIY NAS rig. I thought I was being clever by getting the cheapest 8TB seagates in existence for a RAIDZ1 pool, but I have to conclude they're Fucking Noisy^TM^. I'm very sensitive to the noise, unable to relocate the rig further away from my sleeping space and I never need the spinning drives at night anyway.

I run Proxmox with the drives passed through to a TrueNAS VM. I'm willing to turn this setup upside down to get a super convenient way to put the drives to sleep and wake them up exactly when I want to. Heck, I'll write my own webapp to do it if I need to, but I rather ask around first because this has to be a reoccurring thing.

I know it's possible to put drives to sleep with Linux. I know it reduces their lifespan and I don't care, I need to sleep. :) I'm unsure how exactly it should be done when the drives are passed through to a VM.

Do you put your drives to sleep? What tricks have you used to achieve this conveniently? Let me know!

E: Should have clarified, but there are other, SSD-backed services on the same machine that need to stay online regardless of what is going on with the spinning drives.

I just thought this might make a fun discussion thread for folks to chat about ideas and make silly pie jokes.

I'm curious to hear what folks think would be fun, or work well!
