Yes it would. In my case though I know all of the users that should have remote access snd I’m more concerned about unauthorized access than ease of use.

If I wanted to host a website for the general public to use though, I’d buy a VPS and host it there. Then use SSH with private key authentication for remote management. This way, again, if someone hacks that server they can’t get access to my home lan.

Their setup sounds similar to mine. But no, only a single service is exposed to the internet: wireguard.

The idea is that you can have any number of servers running on your lan, etc… but in order to access them remotely you first need to VPN into your home network. This way the only thing you need to worry about security wise is wireguard. If there’s a security hole / vulnerability in one of the services you’re running on your network or in nginx, etc… attackers would still need to get past wireguard first before they could access your network.

But here is exactly what I’ve done:

1. Bought a domain so that I don’t have to remember my IP address.
2. Setup DDNS so that the A record for my domain always points to my home ip.
3. Run a wireguard server on my lan.
4. Port forwarded the wireguard port to the wireguard server.
5. Created client configs for all remote devices that should have access to my lan.

Now I can just turn on my phone’s VPN whenever I need to access any one of the services that would normally only be accessible from home.

P.s. there’s additional steps I did to ensure that the masquerade of the VPN was disabled, that all VPN clients use my pihole, and that I can still get decent internet speeds while on the VPN. But that’s slightly beyond the original ask here.

A couple of options in my opinion, as I just did this myself:

You can use the CLI tool to “upload” them. You can even do this from the server itself. So upload times would be as fast as your network card can process or however fast your server is, whichever is slower. It does require that you create an API key for the user in question though.

Otherwise you can create an external library and link that to your account. Now Immich will still index this library but it won’t move or manage the actual files. I’m not sure though if it looks at those files for duplicates (i.e. if you try and upload the same photo from your phone to the server). This external library will also prevent deleting photos as well, FYI.

There might be other options that I’m not aware of, as I’ve only been using Immich for about a month now.

Edit: link to the CLI documentation: https://immich.app/docs/features/command-line-interface/

Not saying a tool like this isn’t helpful for you but personally I don’t think I’d ever trust a service to analyze my code and provide accurate comments. There’s so many little quirks and ultimately nuance in what is written vs what and why it’s doing it that I’d never expect anyone but the original author of the code to get it right.

I’ve been trying to read up on the terms for in-app donations to developers for iOS but everything seems to be rather old. Anyway, just curious if a donation link runs a fowl of the terms of service or if you have to use in-app purchases and have Apple take their cut?

Not sure if I entirely understand what you’re asking but here’s my setup that sounds similar-ish that might help.

I’ve got essentially 3 machines

1. Download machine - contains Sonarr/Radar/Nzbget, etc… This machine isn’t very powerful but it has A LOT of RAM.
2. A Nas - this is where everything gets downloaded to. Primarily this machine just has a lot of HDD space.
3. Jellyfin box – Decent RAM and a beefy CPU for transcoding.

The download machine has a network share to download directly to the NAS in a special /downloads/ folder. Once a download completes Sonarr, etc… move it to it’s correct media folder.

Finally the Jellyfin machine is monitoring the media folders for changes.

I assume you could set up something similar with Plex instead of jellyfin and then store the fully downloaded files on a separate machine with a network drive, so Plex can see it. Essentially the NAS for you would be two machines one (the seedbox) for the partial downloads and a local NAS for the fully downloaded files?

Anyway, not sure if that’s what you’re looking for.

So the builder pattern is supposed to solve the problem of: if you have a large number of optional fields that may or may not need to be set to construct your object. Then once the dev has called all of the setters that they require, they call build to fully realize that object.

Some rules that all builders should follow:

• All setters SHOULD represent optional parameters. (Or ones that have a default value). If a parameter is required for all instances, include it in the constructor of the Builder itself.
• All setters SHOULD return a copy of the Builder. This way you can chain calls off of each other.
• Setters SHOULD do nothing more than store the provided value in a field local to the builder itself and then return itself (or a copy of itself).
• You MUST expose a .build() method that will return the fully realized object. This method should essentially call the constructor for your target object using all of the parameters, regardless if a setter was called or not. Obviously any value where the setter wasn’t called will be null or some default value.

Same. Honestly I need to create a community just for this tool IMO. But I don’t have the time to moderate it.

https://www.search-lemmy.com/ ?

I’m open to feedback though if the search results seem out of order etc…

I know this isn’t inside the Memmy app yet, but does https://www.search-lemmy.com provide something more to what you’d expect?

There is an open issue to see about adding this as an alternative (with a toggle) to the app.

Unless you have an account there’s no easy way to get access to the content on the page. Once you have an account there’s technically nothing stopping you from just saving the HTML file to your computer.

Something else you can try though, assuming you don’t have an account, is to just turn off JavaScript. If the site lets you partially load the content and then asks you to create an account to read more, they usually just block the content by having JavaScript add an opaque overlay. With JavaScript disabled, obviously it’s not there to add the overlay and you’re able to keep reading.

That looks like 8.8.8.8 actually responded. The ::1 is ipv6’s localhost which seems odd. As for the wong ipv4 I’m not sure.

I normally see something like requested 8.8.8.8 but 1.2.3.4 responded if the router was forcing traffic to their DNS servers.

You can also specify the DNS server to use when using nslookup like: nslookup www.google.com 1.1.1.1. And you can see if you get and different answers from there. But what you posted doesn’t seem out of the ordinary other than the ::1.

Edit just for shits and giggles also try nslookup xx.xx.xx.xx where xx.xx… is the wrong up from the other side of the world and see what domain it returns.

Another thing that can be happening is that the router or firewall is redirecting all port 53 traffic to their internal DNS servers. (I do the same thing at home to prevent certain devices from ignoring my router’s DNS settings cough Android cough)

One way you can check for this is to run “nslookup some.domain” from a terminal and see where the response comes from.

Totally agree.

Just wanted to point out that app development has different costs, sometimes none, associated with it vs hosting something like a Lemmy instance.

But p.s. logos and artwork can be bundled with the app itself. I assume, but I could be wrong, that many mobile devs have at least a handful of test devices available. Although the simulators have come a long way. But agreed test devices, especially newer ones can be expensive.

First I can’t speak for the Memmy devs but here’s my personal experience:

In theory something like a mobile app doesn’t really have any reoccurring costs, at least not with Lemmy, etc… Not natively, anyway. Sure there’s the $100 cost for an iOS dev account but that’s nothing in the end. Should Lemmy start to introduce API access fees, again that could change, but that’s a long way off if ever.

The question really comes down to, long term, how much time are the devs spending on development and if they want to make money with this or not.

As some of us find this sort of development, well “fun”, and just do this as a hobby rather than as an income stream. And any small costs we’ll just eat because quite frankly we were going to build these apps anyway, if not just for ourselves why not share them with the rest of the community?

Long story short, Memmy (and the other mobile apps) may not need to charge anything as it’s not costing the devs anything more than time. Now Lemmy itself, is a completely different story.

The one that begins with https is obviously just a full URL and will take the user directly to that instance rather than staying on their home instance. And the one that starts with /c/ is a relative path. While it might work, if the community/user it points to is on the same server as the user, they might encounter errors as it might try and navigate to https://lemmy.world/c/fediverse@lemmy.world which is undefined (may or may not work).

I don’t know of any documentation off the top of my head but currently there’s

User links: @marsara9@lemmy.word

These will translate to https://<your instance>/u/marsara9@lemmy.world assuming your not on lemmy.word. If you are it will just be https://lemmy.word/u/marsara9.

And community links: !fediverse@lemmy.world

These will follow the same pattern but will have /c/ instead of /u/.

There’s been proposals to add others but that’s all that exists at the moment.

Speaking of Black & White I just want a reboot that uses a VR headset. Any other game I couldn’t care less about VR but Black & White…

1. Yes most trackers have something on their website to let you know what your ratio is, what you’re downloading and how long you’ve been seeding those files.
2. With the trackers I’m familiar with yes – seeding for 9d 23h 59m and 59s is the same as seeding for 0s. You’ll still get tagged with a HnR (Hit and Run)
3. You can shutdown as much as you like. But, again the trackers that I’m familiar with have a cap on the number of HnRs you can have on your account. So you might have action taken against you if you’re seeding 5 different torrents and decide to shutdown.
4. Don’t know.
5. The rest don’t appear to be questions so not sure how to respond.
