I am the administrator of Laguna.chat.
I sirt it manually. I just rip a CD, edit its metadata with MusicBrainz Picard then place all the MP3’s in a folder for just the book and then move it to the folder of the author.
Once scanned by audiobookshelf I modify the metadata a bit more and then let audiobookshelf combine the book to one file.
I use duplicacy to backup to my local NAS and to Storj.io. In case of a fire I’m always able to restore my files. Storj.io is cheap, easy to access from any location and your files are stored and duplicated on multiple different locations.
I have used duplicity before but restoring from a new installation takes a while, as duplicity has to reanalyze the storage.
By having an actual policy. That lists the usage of data, 3rd parties and the responsibilities of the instance owner.
Well, if they launch. I will certainly block then from interacting with the content of my instances’ users.
What a journalistical mistake, you can’t directly compare a group of countries with a single country. In this case fallen behind means in money. Which is quite a bad assumption.
Is this the federation killer?
The Netherlands/ASML has no choice. The US is threathening NL with trade allegation, because the US fears the Chinese’s technical advances.
Well, you joined the most overcrowded Lemmy instance. Its administrators a currently working on it. But they didn’t expect this many users.
In the meantime I recommend joining smaller instances. Which are able to handle the load. Like my own instance :).
Audiobookshelf is da bomb! You are going to have a great time while installing it, using it and sharing it with friends and family.
If you need help just send me a DM.
The top three instances a currently overcrowded. I recommend checking out a smaller instance (for example https://laguna.chat).
Smaller instances are still able to access to same content. But it is just a different server that processes the content.
Page loads are snappy and lightning fast at laguna.chat :). Open signups and open for new communities. Hosted in Germany and GDPR ready. https://laguna.chat
I have no idea, they probably found a way to simulate the mobile app during the authentication fase.
First of all, I’m not a lawyer or a legal consultant, just a instance admin that wants to make sure that his instance complies.
Lemmy does not store any PII (birthdates, legal names, addresses,securitynumbers). But users are able to share whatever they want. And that can be a problem.
Check out my instances legal page: https://Laguna.chat/legal
In the future I want to make sure that my instances content can only be shared by GDPR respecting instances.
Teddit doesn’t hold any data. It’s “data” was reddit. It’s developers think that when you use the free key for 60 requests per second, that it will probably be enough.
Libreddit is trying to use the private Reddit API . Which is currently being used by the official Reddit app.
Running Teddit using a free key seems fairly usable, as long as you are self hosting an instance. Libreddits’s approach tries to bring back the old situation
Projects will deviate and find ways to be useful again.
Fairphone 4 running /e/OS. I love the modularity, quality and robustness. Just the fact that if I drop my screen I can just replace it for €80 using my own hands.
/e/OS is still in development, which you sometimes notice, but I love its privacy focused aspects. It is decoupled from Google, includes a tracker monitor and blocker, an appstore that can download apps from the Google Play store anonymously and best of all the developers do deliver. All their releases are well tested.
The only thing I struggle with are in app purchases. If they use the Google Play platform they just won’t work.
I bought this phone from Murena, which is a branch of the /e/Foundation that sells devices with /e/OS preinstalled.
Awesome!
My current host is mich more expensive. They (Contabo) sell 250GB for €3. Storj.io sell 1TB for €4 for storage, €7 for bandwidth. But it isstille more viable than upgrading my VPS.
I accidentally posted using the wrong account. I tried to delete the other post which seemed to work on the instance but doesn’t seem the federate.
Have you tried integrating a caching mechanism? Or tried assigning more memory to PHP?
I am a fan of Namecheap.They have lots of exotic domains. Domains are easy to manage, free domain privacy but their support is really slow and a bit incompetent.
For local domains, like: .UK, .US, .DE, I register there locally. Thus making sure that all my service providers are capable if handling the local privacy laws.
For DNS I use cloudflare.
Contabo and NetCup are really cheap. But only if you use their shared VPS option. If you are lucky the CPU steal is low.
