You're right, thanks.

Good perspective, thanks.

That's fair. I'm making the comparison to other hobbies. If someone is not interested in roller skating, but decides to try it out because one of their friends really likes it and invites them, they may find they enjoy it... or not, which in that case they won't go again, which is fine. Alternatively, they find a new hobby they enjoy, and selfhosting could give skills that turn into a potential career, but that's if they really enjoy it. I don't think it's uncommon for friend groups to have outsiders (me) and "force" them into trying new things, but maybe my comparison doesn't hold up here as this is a bit less about socializing.

Thank you!

Would you be willing to explain what a typed dictionary is and when it would be useful in the context of Godot?

For those that want an RTS game that doesn't require a high APM, I'd recommend Supreme Commander Forged Alliance (FAF) and the Sins of a Solar Empire Games (which requires an even lower APM).

I know there are different use cases for each, but generally do people prefer self hosted nextcloud, proton docs, or libre office?

No, development is still stalled. You need to pay if you want the really high bit rate flac downloads. I pay and can use Deezer as a backup to Jellyfin in the event there's a song I don't have and I'm driving. I was looking at music fab, but it's expensive, the Spotify downloader has worse quality, and doesn't grab the cover art, which is probably a deal breaker for me.

I do this with anime. Japanese + English dub.

Are you still needing help with this? You need to make a custom format, set it to required, and require a minimum format score so you only grab what passes your requirements.

I use the former. How does it compare to the other two?

Are they on Deezer? If so, look into deemix-gui.

Haven't tested it, but I'm hoping Kodi works well. I'm waiting on my Vero V to arrive, which comes with OSMC (FOSS linux distro made to run Kodi).

I'm not too familiar with roon. As for proper metadata, I've not had any problems with MusicBrainz's metadata grabber. It's a built-in plugin that comes with Jellyfin. Deemix uses your deezer account, which I believe requires the paid version if you want lossless flac files, and I have it configured to place the files in my Media share, which Jellyfin reads from. Symfonium is the android client I use that works with selfhosted media servers.

Deezer (paid for flac - lossless files) + Deemix-gui + Jellyfin + Symfonium works quite well. Though you need to have a media server, so not exactly a drop-in replacement.

I just ran into this today. I think it's only really useful for "Unknown Series". If you grab it without first identifying it, the release will show up as one episode under the queue, and only the episode you "interactively searched" for will be imported. Whereas if you identified everything prior, it will be show up correctly and all the episodes you selected will be imported. Other than that, I think you're right, I find myself identifying releases when something does line up after the download.

Before you spend too much time on that, you can create an issue on the Github page. Seems fairly active. Might get a better response there.

Ah, okay. Yes, I got the same results as you, even if you do it the opposite way, add a movie through Radarr, and it will replace the other movie and wipe the other data.

Through my testing, it does seem to only wipe it if Radarr thinks there's a movie there already. I don't think this solves your problem, but if you empty the movie folder, scan and refresh radarr, then add the data back, it gets picked up. It only wipes the data when it is replacing it, which is probably intentional because different files might have different metadata? I'm not sure.

It might be possible with a custom script.

Before that, take a look at the "Import Extra Files" option under Settings -> Media Management.

I ran a test and didn't have this issue, unless I'm missing a step? I don't usually do this.

What I did:

1. Movie #1 (mp4 version) is in the proper folder and Radarr sees it.
2. Copied over an srt file to the directory that would belong to the movie.
3. Go to Radarr->Movies>Manual Import

• a. Navigate to the directory that contains the replacement Movie #2 (mkv version)
• b. Select "Move Files" as the import mode.
• c. Click Import.

4. Movie #2 (mkv version) is imported and shows up in Radarr. The srt file is still there.

I don't own P3 Reloaded, but is this sort of like the additional content that usually comes in Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal? Shouldn't this have been included in the P3 Reloaded release?

I've had issues with duckdns failing over the past year or so (their server going down - outages). I guess it could be something on my side, but it happened often enough that I switched to my own domain. Haven't had any outages since, and I can use subdomains now for routing.

100% Symfonium is awesome.

I haven't built one myself, but you could look into TrueNas.

My main point was that if there's one subreddit that should of migrated fully to lemmy... it would be them. Practice what you preach. Granted they are probably one of the larger communities here on lemmy.

You could use android phones and apps, but I would also recommend checking out raspberri pi's. They are essentially tiny computers at about the same scale as a phone. Low power usage, quiet, and you can do quite a lot with them!

Meanwhile.. At r/selfhosted...

True.. But are people reviewing open source software and code to make sure they aren't malicious? I'm not. I haven't looked at the Lemmy code once, just saw there was a repo.

I think the bigger issue is what motivates the dev. If it's freeware, then the project probably isn't backed by greed VS passion. In saying that, I paid $3 for an android music app (Symfonium) and it's closed source. I absolutely love it way more than plex Amp and the dev is active. I have no issues with closed source unless development halters.

Thanks!

I looked into nginx for minecraft, but minecraft doesn't use http headers, so I'd have to open minecraft ports on the router. Would this alleviate that? What's the difference between this setup and using something like a cloudflare tunnel? Obviously, there is still some reliance on Cloudflare.

For backup power, you got like a generator for the server, or the whole building?

Thanks for the correction!

I think that is more complicated, as the channels need to generate revenue. Additionally, videos take up much more storage, and there is no option to select an instance like Lemmy. I only see options to selfhost.

Ah, you know more than me then lol. Keep up the great work, glad to be a supporter!

Thanks for hosting Lemmy.world! Does Lemmy use a database? Until the software gets horizontal scaling capability, could we use a central RDS so the load isn't on the EC2 instance's CPU? Then we can use load balancing between multiple instances that pull from the same DB? Obviously, the db instance is still a limiting factor.

I was thinking what if we switched to a fediverse Youtube replacement, such as PeerTube. However, I don't think this would work. For one, because there are no ads, there's no money being made, and creators would have to be backed by donations. Not sure how much money that would bring in.

Additionally, the difference between a "creator" on lemmy/subreddit (creating a community) vs a "creator" on youtube (uploads videos) is that I can be a creator without hosting an instance here. Looks like if I wanted to upload videos to PeerTube, I'd need to make my own instance or pay for one. Maybe if there was an option to select an instance just like here on lemmy, but videos take waaayy more disk space and processing to stream than text and a few images. Could be cool to host yourself though.

Thanks for the detailed reply!

Yeah, I'm trying to figure this out from a high availability standpoint. I guess the next question would be if all the servers are operating on the same out-of-sync server, probably not, as those servers aren't connected together, they are just connected to the now-offline server. I wonder if the server comes back up if it propagates or trys to re-sync. Seems like we would have issues either way, and the best bet is finding an instance with good availability.

I was kind of hoping that if an instance subscribed to another instance's community, then the originating instance can go down without effecting the community because another instance is now acting as the backup.

I'm also concerned if Lemmy as an application can support a large user base.

So if lemmy.ml subscribed to lemmy.world, and world shut down with no warning, provided you aren't a lemmy.world account, you can still access and make content on the world communities? Has this been tested?

Do you know if this happens the other way around? A user chats with a different server and that chat is synced to my server. Can I use federation without allowing others to join mine outside my group? Because otherwise, it sounds like my server's data will be copied to a different server.

So if I made my own Lemmy instance, and subscribed to !selfhosted, does that mean if Lemmy.world went down, the !selfhosted community is still up?

They released an update yesterday for TS3, allowing connection to TS5 servers I think, and breaking the Soundboard lol. TS5 is in closed-beta, right? I would think release would be within a year, but I'm not sure. Also, last I checked, I was reading mixed results on the platform, but I haven't been able to use it myself.
