JVT038@feddit.nlto politics @lemmy.world•Trump reveals 'big, big surprise' for ailing Democrats as he warns Blue states will 'totally disappear off the map'English21·3 months agoNot surprising tbh.
I’m expecting him to falsely claim election fraud tomorrow after the exit polls in Germany close. If the result isn’t AfD at 99%, he’ll probably demand new elections and/or only recognize Weidel as Chancellor instead of Merz.
There’s Ryot.
Besides that, there’s also Movary, which has contributions from yours truly, but it only supports tracking movies at the moment. I’m planning on adding TV show support later, probably after the first stable 1.0 has released (In my mind it’ll probably be major release 2.0 or 3.0). The main dev and I don’t have much time these days, so it might take a while…
JVT038@feddit.nlto World News@lemmy.world•Netherlands allows Ukraine to strike Russian territory with its F-16sEnglish35·11 months agoSounds good, but they first need to actually deliver the jets, because this is otherwise pointless.
I think they could add a tag system, where the user enters their interests as a tag and then Loops shows all the content that shares the same tag.
Yes, it’s more effort than TikTok, which automatically guesses what your interests are, but I think it’s still a good, privacy friendly alternative.
Yeah, I mean, I:
- Eat at least three times per day (breakfast, lunch and dinner)
- Exercise three times per week (in the gym, lifting weights)
- Sleep at least 7 or 8 hours per night
- Go outside every day
- Have a skincare routine (although it’s not much)
- Brush my teeth twice per day (after breakfast and before going to sleep)
I use it to manage my documents, backup my photos from my phone to my server and access all my files from any other device. Basically Nextcloud is my replacement for OneDrive.
Additionally, I have used it in the past to collaborate on various group projects which require documents. For example, I had to make a presentation with some other people and I could create a PowerPoint in Nextcloud, send a share link to others and then we could edit the PowerPoint in realtime with Nextcloud + Collabora, which is pretty cool. It’s the only FOSS alternative (at least as far as I’m aware of) that can compete with Microsoft 365 / Google Workspaces.
Honestly, I’m not really excited about the past couple of major Nextcloud releases.
Mainly because there’s still one big issue for small-scale Nextcloud servers: performance.
Mainly the web UI is still too slow for me to properly use, which is why I don’t use it at all (unless I have to update an app).
It’s a bit disappointing that they’re mainly focused on the large enterprise customers instead of small hobbyists like me, but it’s still understandable; after all, their income is mainly from the enterprise customers, not from selfhosters.
I also don’t really like how they’ve jumped on the AI hypetrain instead of improving performance. But once again, I guess this generates more income for them than focusing on other things like improving performance.
JVT038@feddit.nlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do you find motivation when it's not there?English3·1 year agoI don’t think, I just do.
I usually keep an end goal in sight; for example, I sometimes dread going to the gym, but I always remember that my goal is to stay fit, have a healthy body and exercising is an important part of that. By sticking to my goal, I maintain my discipline and go to the gym 3 times per week.
Another example is school homework; in my case, my math homework is something I don’t enjoy, but I remind myself that I need the math certificate in order to enroll for a Computer Science degree at an university. Therefore, I keep pushing myself to study math and get good grades (which so far has worked pretty well)
JVT038@feddit.nlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Other than AI, what technology are you excited about?English17·1 year agoRegrowing / regenerating certain body parts.
This could theoretically be done with stemcell stuff, but it’s not there yet. However, when we finally reach the point where we can infinitely regenerate our body cells, we’ll become effectively “ammortal”; unable to die due to natural causes (such as illness), but we will still die from other people (for example, a bullet to the head)
Besides that, I think nuclear fusion would be an incredible development if we can finally harness it to power our homes.
Depends.
If there are no external volumes and the container is in its own network without any other containers, then any malware in the container shouldn’t be able to reach / affect the host server, because it’s isolated.
Docker is a container manager, but that doesn’t say anything if you don’t know what containers are.
Containers are basically isolated apps. For example, take something like Nextcloud. Nextcloud can run in a Docker container, which means that it runs in an isolated environment completely separated from the user’s system. If Nextcloud breaks, the user’s server won’t be affected at all, because it’s running isolated.
Why is this useful? Well, it’s useful because dependencies and such automatically update. Nextcloud for example, is dependent on PHP and if you install Nextcloud directly on your server, you’ll need to ensure that PHP 8 has been installed and set up properly. If PHP (or the required PHP extensions) aren’t properly installed, Nextcloud won’t work. Or, maybe if there’s a Nextcloud update that requires a new version of PHP (PHP 9 or 10 in the future), you’ll have to manually update PHP to the newer version.
All that dependency management is completely gone with containers. The container itself automatically installs and sets up a proper environment for the app that’s running. So in the case of Nextcloud, the PHP binaries, extensions, and all the other stuff is all automatically included without the developer having to do anything at all. Just run one command and your entire Nextcloud instance is automatically updated.
JVT038@feddit.nlto Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System@lemmy.ml•New CI, New Repo, A Renewed Push for 10.9.0English3·1 year agoIt’s a Mastodon account, so it’s quite possible that Lemmy can’t handle it. You can also go to https://mastodon.social/@hetisniels
JVT038@feddit.nlto Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System@lemmy.ml•New CI, New Repo, A Renewed Push for 10.9.0English7·1 year agoOn Mastodon, once of the maintainers (@hetisniels@mastodon.social) is posting some of the features for 10.9.
JVT038@feddit.nlto Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System@lemmy.ml•Jellyfin on Synology NAS without DockerEnglish4·1 year agoYou could add the Synocommunity as a package source, instructions here and then install Jellyfin from their repository in the Package Center. Jellyfin is available on their repository.
A disadvantage of this is that you’re dependent on the maintainer of the package on the Synocommunity and it could take a while for new versions to be uploaded to their repository. If you use Docker, then you can basically get new versions immediately.
I’d first recommend that you think about what you need.
What do you need? Do you want a safe space to back up your photos & videos from your phone? Or maybe a way to stream your movies, series and/or music in a cheap way?
Once you figure out what you want to host, you can look into which program can fulfill your needs. Check out the awesome-selfhosted list for a HUGE amount of services you could host.
JVT038@feddit.nlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How to set up Immich from the files within nextcloud?English2·1 year agoYou could try making a symlink, so that there is a ‘file’ in the Nextcloud directory which points to the Immich gallery, although I’m not sure how good it truly works.

JVT038@feddit.nlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you had to live in a fictional magical world, but you wouldn't be magical, what world would you pick?English101·1 year agoHarry Potter. I’d be a normal muggle, blissfully ignorant of all the drama going on :)
It seems that while this update once again contains lots of (unncessary) AI bullshit, it also has some other positive changes, such as :
Overall, I am still disappointed by the direction towards AI that Nextcloud has taken, but I suspect that it makes them more money. Also, apparently large organizations / enterprises who pay Nextcloud GmbH for support, are also allowed to influence the roadmap of the software, which probably has something to do with jumping on the AI bandwagon.
However, despite this new direction, Nextcloud still does the job for me: Easy file syncing, with document collaboration, calendar, contacts and basically act as a whole replacement for Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace / whatever with little to no problems.
