Mounting S3 as a filesystem in your VPS for unlimited cheap storage by palitu in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[-] palitu@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah. I would keep the db local, and probably the thumbs and intermediary photos too. But the full resolution would probably be in S3.

dB's are not good on object store, and not good running over the internet. I wish they had native S3 storage, as that would allow for high speed access, where as this will download to the server, then upload to the client which will add latency.

Cheers

Mounting S3 as a filesystem in your VPS for unlimited cheap storage by palitu in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Is that your article ?

I am in a bit of a funny position, I am volunteering in an underdeveloped country, and have my immich instance running at my in-laws. But I don't have access to my NAS. Backblaze would be ideal!

What have you done to run it there? Is it as easy as mounting juicefs, and pointing immich dirs there?

I have about 700gb that would have to be migrated, any ideas on that? Or would it be relatively transparent to immich just copy and pasting?

I don't think that you would team them, but add a barrel jack for the big charger.

What vital task did you not realize someone was doing regularly until they suddenly stopped? by palitu in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] palitu@aussie.zone 21 points 4 weeks ago

The gradual increase in responsibility. They have to pay board. A roster for dinners, a bill out into their name (one that you can deal with being cut off for a little bit (!!!).

But ultimately, it is also out habit of just getting it done that means we just do it.

I expect that it is a conversation and agreement of shared tasks and responsibilities.

Cutoff access to wifi and don't pay phone bills, plenty of ways to get started, but it always starts with a chat.

What are the best examples of a director going "all out" to get the best out of their actors? by palitu in c/movies@lemm.ee

Service to store and share WiFi credentials (aussie.zone)

submitted 2 months ago by palitu@aussie.zone to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

This is a bit of an odd one,

I have just moved to another country where internet is very expensive, and i would like to have an app to create a shared list of Wifi creds where i find them, whether that is offices, hotels or cafes, etc.

It would kind of be like the OpenWifi Map, but maybe a bit more private?

Does anyone know of anything like this? it would be able to tell where you are and alert you or autoconnet to the wifi using the credentials that are stored.

The reason i want it to be shared is that my wife can use the ones that i find and vice-versa.

cheers

I do not think that this can be legal, if you have already agreed to terms.

Surely they can just say from now on, thing you have used for a year is not usable unless you promise not to sue us.

Surely that ship has sailed?

Offshoring my solutions (aussie.zone)

Hey y'all!

I am after the colelctive expertise of this fantastic community. My family and i are moving overseas for a year for a pacific adventure, which leaves my hosting setup in a bind. We will be renting out our house and i will need to move all of my 'servers' (read laptop and NAS) out.

All of my services are in docker.

My main services that i MUST keep are:

Immich
- 600Gb or so
- very important as we will be taking a HEAP of photos.
paperless
vaultwarden
custom location tracking service
radicale

I would also like to make it so that all of my media is still available, but i may need to get a set up at a friends house. I have jellyfin plus a bunch of *arr's

I was thinking a mix between at a mates house and a cloud server.

any thoughts?

edit: a lot of my services are exposed publicly, via Nginx proxy manager.

Hi all, I am looking for a starter tablet to show tabs, and in the future potentially musical notation.

As a starter into i am looking for ideas on what sort of tablet. Is 10" big enough? and what are some good apps for it?

My preference is Android, but if all else fails, an iPad could work.

cheers

eReaders for Selfhosted book collections (aussie.zone)

submitted 9 months ago by palitu@aussie.zone to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

32 comments fedilink

Hi fellow hosters! I really did not know where to ask this question - and i thought you lot are pretty similar to me. If you can think of somewhere else to post this, please let me know!

I am looking for a solution to be able to host my own books (something like calibre i guess), that i can easily push them to a yet-to-be-purchased eReader.

Firstly - What eReader are you using that allows you to add any number of book sources to? i would also like to include my local library subscription, as well as locally hosted and purchased ones.

Secondly - Any hints on hosting a book collection. (Readarr v calibre, etc), where you get books from, removing DRM from eBooks that you buy, that sort of stuff.

thanks!

I love seeing this sort of thing in Farming. Are there any other places where dungbeetles are used as an input to a farm?

What other insects are being introduced to farms? I know of bees (pollination) and ladybirds (pest control)

Hey lemmings.

I find that I am not seeing what I am Interested in from the smaller comms I have subscribed to.

Is there a way to increase their visibility?

I was think it would be useful to put a multiplier on the scores of various comms, ie !perth@aussie.zone can have a 5x multiplier so that is see more of those posts, in comparison to other larger comms.

I am having to go to the comms explicitly to see their posts.

Cheers!

All of Japan's Toyota Assembly Plants Shut Down for a Day Because Their Server Ran Out of Disk Space by palitu in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] palitu@aussie.zone 23 points 9 months ago

not to mention the lean process effed them during fukashima and covid, with a breakdown in logistics and a shortage of chips, meant that their entire mode of operating shut down, as they had no capacity to deal with any outages in any of their systems. Maybe that has happened again, just in server land.

A real world analysis of a near-100% renewable grid in Australia - Year 2. (reneweconomy.com.au)

submitted 10 months ago by palitu@aussie.zone to c/energy@slrpnk.net

12 comments fedilink

This is a great article that uses real data to see how our grid world perform with greater wind, solar and storage. It shows that we can easily achieve a 95% renewable grid with a modest level of storage.

What i really like about this, is it has been running for 2 years now, and it is pragmatic about its aims (ie, not 100%), it aims for reality (this is real data that is collected weekly), and it looks at the cost (in $$ and CO2-e).

He sets some targets (60% Wind, 45% Solar + storage), then works off of the actual data to scale the wind & solar generation, to see how it would meet demand. excess is accumulated in storage (theoretical battery storage and actual hydro), and shortfalls is taken from storage.

The really nice part shows where "other" is required, in Australia's case, existing fossil fueled peaker plants.

I often use his 1st year report to have the discussion with "non-believers" to show what is possible, and where the gaps are to achieveing a renewable grid.

Have a read and let me know what you think.
