Our National Parks are amazing!
For now.
Have to agree.
That .ml is so closely tied to development (and previously the first landing space) is problematic, there were a bunch of people asking if donations were purely to dev or if they supported the .ml servers at all as well, because they didnt want to provide any financial support to .ml.
And thats even aside from precisely the issue you mention.
I really think its one of the bigger reasons behind all the piefed support.
my point the Lemmy devs' tankie position is a liability for the growth of federated networks.
The responses to fundraising for Lemmy development recently is a perfect example of that
Plex is a good example that does just that (not on my rec list but a good example) along with many business grade IPTV and media streaming products (think digital signage).
I'd really love to rework JF to do it, but structurally it wouldn't work, you'd need a management service in front of it.
Remember that we're talking about a server on your local network, and a device on the local network to make the connection for the stream. We aren't talking about streaming over the internet.
- Client looks up server via DNS
- Client connects to public IP
- Client handshakes to server
- Server announces to client available connections (public, local)
- Client continues connections with local address
There is no need for tailscale or anything, this is a local connection. The only thing the public address is doing is the initial call to the server.
The good ones... Are not cheap (if someone knows a cheap option though, I'd be happy to add it to my own repertoire!)
For me, I backup with:
- A second NAS
- a clone to a NAS at two other homes (family), which also sync to mine
- Encrypted backups to generic cloud storage
Edited to add:
You dont need to backup everything.
What is being backed up by me at all the locations above:
- Content I can't replace (home photos, movies, etc)
- Configs for services
- Personal documents and other such data.
- etc
Aside from the home movies, its not a huge amount of data. Lots of VHS conversions of graduations, Christmases, etc of long past.
Locally I back up more to the second NAS including:
- Content I can replace but this is faster
- Full backups of VMs
- LXC snapshots
- etc
So while I have a huge amount of storage at home, what's needed elsewhere is not anywhere near as much.
Depends on the server obviously, but most will pass off their local once the initial handshake is made.
Once that is done, DNS isnt relevant anymore.
Edit: This is especially true for media (movies, TV) servers.
Should all be local after the connection is made, as long as nothing is wonky with your setup.
Locally you should resolve that DNS to your local server though, not via cloudflare.
Used tiny/mini/micro.
Get the gen of Intel CPU you can afford purely for hw transcoding. 6th-8th gen is good, newer gets you more, even av1 becomes an option.
If you have a NAS, great, store videos there. If you dont, I'd upgrade the t/m/m with an m.2 and (config dependant) you can usually stick a 2.5" in there as well.
Proxmox for the OS, run lxc's for the individual services you want, or make a docker LXC and run them in there. Personally I just make an LXC for each service.
I'm going to need to check from my desktop, I got a thumbnail version on mobile (and I'm lazy and just save to my nas from mobile)
Edit: Looking at it on the desktop, its a few.pixels taller and about 200 wider, but no change to the contents. I'm assuming the preview in the post was a stretch for lens correction or something, the one I found was an iPhone photo
This was the best I could find:
1486x1115
If anyone has a better version I'd love to get it!
Edit: This one crops nicely (just above supermans head and to the bottom of his left fist) and looks good enough on my 3440x1440 monitor, FWIW. I'll see how it looks on a 16:9 later, but I think the crop there will go to the outside arms, so also good!

Challah bake prepared in new proving cabinet

I'm not sure if it's a tad dry, or if that's just how challah works, this is only my second attempt. Still tasty though!
I used the America's Test Kitchen recipe which calls for an internal temperature of 195F after 35-40 minutes, but I got to about 210F at 30 minutes.
Cabinet details cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/27518175
Plywood for the main box (3/4" sides, 1/4" back, rabbet and dado joints). Cut the door 1" too narrow so I added a handle from cedar scrap. Shelves and sheet pan brackets are reclaimed bed slats, planed. Window hole is routed with plexiglass insert, my first time doing any significant router work.
The brackets for the baking sheet have a cutout to accommodate two bowls. My goal was either two bowls or two baking sheets.
An obvious improvement would be to install an under-counter outlet so the cord is less prominent.
Heating is from a 45W incandescent bulb (which was the hardest part to find). It's in the top of an old desk lamp. Adding an 8x8" pan of hot water kept the humidity high so I didn't have to cover the rising bread. Temperature/humidity logging is from an SHT30 (plus two DS18B20s) running Tasmota and reportig to HomeAssistant, viewed in Grafana. I expected to have to cycle the light, but just keeping it always on seems to give me the right temperature range.

Soil Testing The Pioneer Way (No Equipment Needed)
(homesteading.com)
Originally from fix.com, in a blog post titled Sifting Through Soil
The important parts:
Most state extension services will perform a detailed soil analysis for a small fee, but you have to wait for the results. Many people take a soil sample in spring, but you can home-test the soil at any time during the year. There are soil test kits for sale at most home improvement stores, but a no-cost, at-home soil test is simple, can be done in any spot in your garden, and takes just a glass jar. Once you complete the test, you can use the results to figure out what to add to your soil to improve it.
Step-by-Step Soil Test
- Clean a pint or quart mason jar and lid
- Fill the jar about halfway with soil. I like to do several different tests, isolating spots in the garden—a jar from each flower bed, for example. That’s because the soil may differ from spot to spot
- Fill up the rest of the jar with water, leaving a bit of headspace in order to shake up the contents
- Tighten the lid and give the jar a good shake for two to three minutes
- Put the jar down and let it rest for four to five hours. As the jar is resting, you might notice the soil doing something interesting: It’s separating into distinct layers: sand at the bottom, silt in the middle, and clay at the top.
Analyze Your Soil
After completing the soil test, you need to determine the percentages in your mason jar. Measure each of the three layers and calculate approximately how much space each takes up in the jar. That’s the approximate makeup of your soil, and indicates what soil type you have

Wireguard site-to-site, they already had an OK router I recommended to them so not much effort there.
