It can be. You can use easynews without a nzb provider if you want, but it obvs works better with one!

I’ve been a happy customer for nearly two decades!

It’s just you. I get easynews for $45 a year on their valentine’s plan, includes unlimited nntp, unlimited web (which is really useful given the search) and a free VPN to boot. Bargain of the century

When you add a request you can select the target directory where you want the files to end up (Root Folder). If you follow the Linuxserver.io setup, you should have created a bind volume called /media for where you want your media to end up for the use of Jellyfin which you can use.

A recent-ish Intel CPU. Even the mini pc’s with a n5000/n95/n100 class CPU will make light work of transcoding nearly everything into x265 using the igpu. The most recent gen will do AV1 decode/transcode as well.

Their points about it not having monetization make zero sense - there’s a bunch of shit on the internet available for free, the fediverse didn’t invent that.

It has to be paid for, though. Servers, traffic and disk space aren’t free, the volunteers who run instances will need to be compensated once their instances start to become their day jobs and there are legal hoops that some servers will need to jump through when it comes to nsfw content, removing copyrighted content etc. We’re in the early days of the fediverse atm, so it’s interesting to see how this will all pan out!

Not only that but some features like Chat just redirect you to the app on Reddit mobile web, and it’s too cumbersome to use the desktop Reddit chat on a mobile browser.

A discussion medium that both predates the internet and continues to exist on the internet: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet

I don’t get why big companys are afraid of open source software.

Some definitely have a legitimate fear - incorrectly linking their closed source app with a GPL 3 project can put them in a place where they need to disclose their source to an end user. Some people refer to GPL as “poisonous” for this reason.

The RHEL issue one is definitely an interesting beast, though. It will either improve their sales or piss off enough people in the community into not maintaining RHEL support and telling their large customers that RH/IBM are no longer trustworthy. This could be Oracle’s time to actually give something back to the community and shepherd a new ‘open’ enterprise standard distribution, but given their track history…

The only permanent platform on the internet is usenet.

Hopefully Lemmy matures into something beautiful, but if not, usenet will always be there!

it’s not a problem there

It is, because my wife is an avid Tok user and complains about it, and reports it, frequently. She also says there are many animal videos that are “unsettling” but not outright abuse.

Apologies: Answered too quickly and missed out the homepage requirement. I’ll leave my answer up anyhow.

Webmin has a fail2ban status page, it’s also pretty useful for creating/maintaining your existing jails.

I don’t use Tiktok but I gather that this is a big problem over there as well, so it sounds like Twitter is working just as well as the site it’s riffing off.

I can’t point to any decent resources, but in your shoes I’d probably download a Debian based distro that’s similar to what you used on your pi’s (Ubuntu server or Debian itself), learn how to use docker (see the other post where a user is asking about containerisation today for community responses) and set up a reverse proxy like Caddy to safely host your content on your lan and once you’ve got it working on there then think about internet access and whether you want to go down the VPS/Cloudfront route for public access to your goodies.

Given how Plex is trying to diversify away from self hosted content, give Jellyfin a spin - it’s surprisingly good and supported by anything with a browser, iOS, android, firestick, kodi or whatever!
