Not exactly self hosting but maintaining/backing it up is hard for me. So many “what if”s are coming to my mind. Like what if DB gets corrupted? What if the device breaks? If on cloud provider, what if they decide to remove the server?

I need a local server and a remote one that are synced to confidentially self-host things and setting this up is a hassle I don’t want to take.

So my question is how safe is your setup? Are you still enthusiastic with it?

I'm using EndeavourOS with ext4 file system for daily usage and a dual bootable Windows for gaming. What I want to have right now is getting rid of Windows completely.

When I tried it before, I had to try multiple tweaks for a game and find which one worked on Linux. Therefore, I want to take a snapshot with BTRFS and try it until I find the right configuration.

While I have quite a bit of experience with Linux, I've never used BTRFS. Do you think it's worth it?

I thought about keeping the games on the ext4 system, but I hate splitting the disk. I'm thinking of keeping the games in a non-snapshot volume.

UPDATE: I just re-installed EndeavourOS with BTRFS + snapper + BTRFS Assistant :)

Donationware: you must donate to use it. Not like regular optional donates.

I would like to introduce you to the tool I have developed in last 2 days.

As you know, when you create a new community on Lemmy, it is initially only available to your instance until users in other instances follows too. To fix this, this tool automatically follows the community from remote instances.

I have previously published a similar but simpler version at boost.lemy.lol and now I remade it because I didn't like some of its features. This time, instance admins will be able to strictly choose which instances they will allow or not. I'm open to your suggestions about different settings.

Please ask your instance admin to add their instance to this tool. To add it as an admin, all you have to do is log in and activate it from the settings.

Here's some tasks I'll implement in the future: https://github.com/ismailkarsli/lemmy-federate/issues

The reason I gave up on MP3's and subscribed to Spotify was because Spotify was easy. I've been listening "Iron Maiden - Empire of the Clouds" song every day and like a week ago, its removed. This was the last straw for me. Right now I'm trying to find "Stremio" of the music world. Can someone assist?

Key features I'm looking for:

• Synchronization between devices
• Offline play
• Playlist support
• Both desktop and mobile apps
• Wide music library (optional if I will upload music)
• Lyrics (optional)

Update: thanks to everyone who shared their solutions 🙏

For example my domain is server.tld and I'm serving my instance from lemmy.server.tld. Can I configure Lemmy to use my main domain (server.tld) as handle like @user@server.tld instead of @user@lemmy.server.tld?

• Matrix supports this: https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/delegate.html#delegation-of-incoming-federation-traffic
• Mastodon supports this: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/config/#web_domain

But I couldn't find a document for Lemmy. Even if it's not happening now, is there a possibility that it could be done in the distant future? @dessalines@lemmy.ml @nutomic@lemmy.ml
