Why don't they just rename it to "AdOS" already?

login to lemmy.world travel to lemmy.ml and be able to comment.

See, this is kind of impossible because of security reasons.

Imagine logging in on gmail, going to facebook (without any further action in between) and being able to read your emails. That would be convenient but catastrophic!

Yes, I know, FB and gmail are two different things, but the concept of auth is the same. A website saves a cookie in your browser and uses it to check whether you're authenticated or not. And that website can AND SHOULD only be able to read its own cookies.

oh man... I'm such a dumb dumb .. didn't even try 10.3.0, now I did and the docker version works and is extremely fast, compared to a CPU... Thank you so much.

It would the first scenario you described... i'd just interact with a chatbot occasionally like I do with chatgpt now...but I'd also like to try to experiment with copilot like models to test and use with vscode. So no training of models or 24/7 batch operations.

I was wondering whether a custom built gaming PC is the only solution here or if there are other cjeaper alternatives that get the job decently done

I have the exact same gpu and tried that. But couldn't get ollama docker version (rocm) to work with the gpu. even changing the env variable to 10.30.1. (rocminfo reports gfx1031)

would you mind giving some instructions or a link?

I've a minipc running an AMD 5700U where I host some services, including ollama and openwebui.

Unfortunately the support of rocm isn't quite there yet and not to mention that of mobile GPUs.

Surprisingly the prompts work when configured to use the CPU, but the speed is just... well, not good.

So, what'd be a cheap and energy efficient setup to run sone kind of LLM for personal use, but still get decent speed?

I was thinking about getting an e-gpu case, but I'm not sure about how solid this would end up.

Just how secure are the various reverse proxy options? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] ad_on_is@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I think this part should be better left off to the actual tool that does a more promising job on security, like a firewall.

Google Feed alternative (lemmy.world)
 

I like how GF shows me articles (with images) of different websites and topics.

I tried freshrss, and the general RSS workflow, but it's somehow too frustrating having 20 articles of the same site when scrolling through the feeds and it also looks somehow dull without images.

But maybe it's just me not using the right tools.

What do you guys use to aggregate news about different topics?

Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] ad_on_is@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Sure, but I was talking about the basic concept of how things work in general to keep it simple for OP.

Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] ad_on_is@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago (3 children)

in a nutshell

This is how the control and information exchange of smart devices work:

Phone App -> [Server] ... [Server] -> Smart Device and vice versa

There's no way around this concept.

Now, Google gives you the phone app and the (public) server part. but these only work with their servers and apps, keeping you locked in.

HA gives you the same, a server and an app, but allows you to keep the server private (access via vpn for public)

Also who guarantees that Google Home will be there in the next few years? HA will still keep running even if it ever gets abandoned.

yeah, it's such a shame that people think X is the right place to share important updates.

It fucking absolutely is NOT!

Yesterday I went to look up Trakts X profile to see whether there are issues with their API. X shows posts from 2020-2023, but nothing from 2024 even though there was a tweet from 2 days ago.

X is dead and should officially be declared as such.

Authelia + Bitwarden + other selfhosted stuff in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] ad_on_is@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Authelia is meant to be an SSO (like Google). In order to use it, you have to create users (and passwords) within the authelia yaml file, or connect it to light-ldap and do it via ldaps web gui.

You probably have other services running, i.e. immich, etc. These can be configured to use auhelias OIDC to authenticate the user against. you'd still need to create the users within the service, since I doubt they get auto-created.

Now, you can decide for yourself, whether to put your bitwarden behind authelia or not, and I'm not sure how the mobile apps work in this sense, if at all.

If you decide to do so, you just give your users their authelia/lightldap creds, if not, you additionally have to give them their bitwarden creds.

Lidarr++Deemix - A service to automatically add albums from Deemix (lemmy.world)
 

As someone who listens to a lot of niche artists, I was upset, that not all albums were present in MusicBrainz. So I came up with a solution.

Meet Lidarr++Deemix!

https://github.com/ad-on-is/lidarr-deemix

This tool helps to enrich Lidarr, by providing a custom proxy, that hooks into the process without modifying Lidarr itself, and injects additional albums from deemix.

Is it just me, or is packaging for Flatpak a nightmare? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm trying to package and publish a tool I've been working on, but for the life of me, I'm struggling with Flatpak.

It's a wails app, that relies on webkit2-4.0 and some additional libraries that are not present in any of the Sdks I'm using. (javascriptcore, etc...)

To get those libs, I tried building the app AND webkit itself against the specific platform. But since webkit takes such a long time to build, I'm running in circles.

Welp.

RAID or single drive for backups? (lemmy.world)
 

Basically title. Is it common to use some kind of RAID for backing up other RAIDs or do people just go with single drives?

Help me understand contacts, calendar and caldav/cardav (lemmy.world)
 

I've been using Google for the last decade and am owly moving away from it.

I'm on Fastmail (FM) right now. While I love their mailservice, the calendar and contacts integration is okey-ish, compared to Google.

Right now, my contacts are scattered across these services. New contacts that I add on my Android phone, are obviously not available on FM, and vice versa.

Therefore I'd like to setup a self hosted solution to manage contacts/calendars on a centralized place.

But right now, I can't seem to wrap my head around this topic. I often see caldav/cardav mentioned, but don't know how exactly they are related.

FYI: I'm a software developer, and I already host a bunch of services behind a reverse proxy.

Example scenarios:

  • Install a full-featured calendar app (mobile, desktop, web) -> connect to my service
  • Someone sends me a calendar invite to FM -> sync to my service
  • I add a new contact on my Android phone -> sync to my service (make it visible in FM)
  • I add a new contact in FM -> sync to my service
  • I send a new calendar invite via FM -> sync to my service
  • Bonus I send a new calendar invite via App, and it get's sent via FM to the recepients.

So my question is what self-hosted solutions (besides Nextclowd) are out there that would allow me to accomplish that?

Resticity - a cross-platform frontend for restic (lemmy.world)
 

https://github.com/ad-on-is/resticity

Hey guys,

I've been building a frontend for restic the past couple of weeks, and it's at the stage where the app is finally ready and usable. So I wanted to share it with the world. Oh, and it's FOSS of course.

It's intended to be used either as a cross-platform desktop app (built using wails) or to be run in a Docker container, for homelab uses, etc.

PRs and feature requests are more than welcome :-)

Right now, I could also use some help for distributing it across the different platforms, AUR, Flatpak, etc.

I hope you guys like it. Cheers!

RANT: I hate the fact that my ISP can restrict access to certain sites (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by ad_on_is@lemmy.world to c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

How can it possibly be, that an ISP, which I'm paying for gets to decid, which sites I'm allowed to have access to, and which not?

All the torrenting sites are restricted. I know, I can use VPN, and such... but I want to do it because of my privacy concerns and not because of some higher-up decided to bend over for the lobbying industry.

While on the other hand, if there's a data breach of a legit big-corp website (looking at you FB), I'm still able to access it, they get fined with a fraction of their revenue, and I'm still left empty-handed. What a hipocracy!!

What comes next? Are they gonna restrict me from using lemmy too, bc some lobbyist doesn't like the fact that it's a decentralized system which they have no control over?

Rant, over!

I didn't even know that my router was using my ISPs DNS, and that I can just ditch it, even though I'm running AdGuard (selfhosted)

Looking for some Google Workspace alternatives (lemmy.world)
 

After my private Gmail was leaked somewhere, I've started to receive an enormous amount of spam that came through into my inbox, which made me switch to Proton and a self-hosted SimpleLogin setup.

So I decided, I might as well dirch Google entirely, for private and work-related stuff.

While Proton already covers Mail and Calendar, I'm in search of alternatives for the following services to replace.

  • Meet: I like the idea of starting a quick meeting by simply sending a link to a customer, who can join instantly. What would be an equivalent software to do that? I tried Mattermost, but it seems more like a Slack alternative, with invites, etc. and is overkill for my case. Revolt chat looks like a Discord alternative.
  • Drive: In short, If possible, I'd prefer one consolidated place to access and edit files. Docs, Excel, PDFs, pictures, videos, etc... Is Nextcloud really the only option here, with the corresponding plugins for onlyoffice and memories (photos)? I tried running thst on an intel nuc, and it's slow as hell.
