  • Why do you need the files in your local?
    Is your network that slow?

    I’ve heard of multiple content creators which have their video files in their NAS to share between their editors, and they work directly from the NAS.
    Could you do the same? You’ll be working with music, so the network traffic will be lower than with video.

    If you do this you just need a way to mount the external directory, either with rclone or with sshfs.


    The disks on my NAS go to sleep after 10 minutes idle time and if possible I would prefer not waking them up all the time

    I think this is a good strategy to not put additional stress in your drives (as a non-expert of NAS), but I’ve read the actual wear and tear of the drives is mostly during this process of spinning up and down. That’s why NAS drives should be kept spinning all the time.
    And drives specifically built for NAS setups are designed with this in mind.

    I use rclone and duplicati depending on the needs of the backup.

    For long term I use duplicati, it has a GUI and you can upload it to several places (mines are spread between e2 and drive).
    You configure the backend, password for encryption, schedule, and version retention.

    rclone, with the crypt submodule, you use it to mount your backups as am external drive, so you need to manually handle the actual copy of the data into it, plus versioning and retention.



  • I can’t give you the technical explanation, but it works.
    My Caddyfile only something like this

    @forgejo host forgejo.pe1uca
    handle @forgejo {
    	reverse_proxy :8000
    }
    

    and everything else has worked properly cloning via ssh with git@forgejo.pe1uca:pe1uca/my_repo.git

    My guess is git only needs the host to resolve the IP and then connects to the port directly.






  • Think of a URL and its dots like folders in your drive where each can have different files in each of them even if they have the same name as another folder.
    They’re just written in reverse order.
    (Also a whole lot of other differences and other technical details on how to actually make the site work, but for your question we can just keep at this)

    So, you have the social root folder (Top Level Domain) which contains many sub folders, one of them is mastodon and another is piefed.
    Each have their own files to render their UI and process the requests they receive, but they don’t talk to each other, even when they might have some files and requests with the same name.
    The same way you have in your home folder your documents, pictures, videos, downloads, etc.
    And yeah, they can go even deeper, my lemmy instance is lemmy.pe1uca.dev, not just lemmy.world like for this community.
    I could have mastodon.pe1uca.dev if I’d like.


  • I had a similar case.
    My minipc has a microSD card slot and I figured if it could be done for a RPI, why not for a mini PC? :P

    After a few months I bought a new m2nvme but I didn’t want to start from scratch (maybe I should’ve looked into nix?)
    So what I did was sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc bs=1024k status=progress
    And that worked perfectly!

    Things to note:

    • both drives need to be unmounted, so you need a live OS or another machine.
    • The new drive will have the same exact partitions, which means the same size, so you need to expand them after the copy.
    • PS: this was for a drive with ext4 partitions, but in theory dd works with the bytes so it shouldn’t be an issue what fs you use.

  • What?
    Well, I can only speak for myself, I’m not here to follow users but communities.
    And if someone wants to follow me I’d see it as kind of annoying for them seeing all the different topics I post and comment instead of something focused.

    IMO the ability to see Mastodon interactions in Lemmy and vice-versa is quite annoying since they use the same protocol for different experiences.



  • I love playing Dwar Fortress, I’ve spent hours and hours in there.
    The game is free from the developera site, the download is only 15MB.
    If you want to support them you can buy it in steam, the listed requirements is 500MB of storage, I assume since this version has a tile set.

    I’ve also put so far 400 hours in oxygen not included, I think it uses around 2GB of storage.

    And to me, any monster hunter game its worth its price, I’ve bought each game and played it for minimum 200 hours each, I think I reached 500 in on of them.
    Tho the newer ones are pretty heavy for their respective platforms. Also triple-A game price.

    Text to speech is what piper is doing.
    What I’m looking for is called voice changer since I want to change a voice which already read something.

    That’s exactly what I want: “the thing in the Darth Vader halloween masks” but for linux, preferably via CLI to ingest audio files and be able to configure it to change the voice as I want, not only Darth Vader.
