We use a Ball jar. We reused it from some sort of food product (honey, maybe?) but you can buy them empty. I believe it’s the 32oz. size https://www.ballmasonjars.com/products/jars/canning-jars/ball®-mason-jars-lids%2C-regular-mouth/SAP_62000.html.
We use a plastic lid because the metal lids are janky.
A 12oz bag of coffee empties perfectly into it. It’s clear so it’s very easy to see how much you have left.
I used Plex for a long time but moved to Jellyfin after reading about the general direction Plex is going (trying to commercialize it, partner up with industry, make it more than just a self hosted media service).
Both have what you’re looking for.
I would say Plex is slightly easier and has the benefit of PlexAmp (available for Linux, Windows, and mobile).
That being said, Jellyfin is about the same ease to get set up, but it’s just a tad less polished, but in sort of a nice way. It feels more like “yours”, if that makes sense.
For both, I recommend hosting them in Docker, using Docker Compose, and using the LinuxServer version. LinuxServer maintains updated software, packaged in an easy to install format and they help you out with sample Docker Compose files and explanations to get things running.
We decided to not host any sort of Buy-Sell-Trade community on our hobby instance for this reason. It’s a small community so a lot of people know usernames of people they know and can trust. It’s very easy for a scammer to use someone’s username and say “I’ll sell you that thing! Send me $150!”.
Oh that’s cool. I was right, only 9 monthly users.
We run on the cheapest Hetzner VPS we can, which is about $8 USD/month. Pictrs are on cloudflare R2. Pictrs storage hovers around 14GB and we have yet to get a non-zero invoice.
Our active users are super low (I think). I don’t think the lemmy interface tells you the number of active users for in instance, just for communities, but since it’s a niche instance I can safely say it’s around 10 people.
So that’s a little less than a dollar per month per user. On the existing VPS I think we could safely add a bunch of users without needing to upgrade.
I don’t have a tech background. Currently hosting 25 different things in docker. I wonder if there are actually more non-tech people who do it, because tech industry people might want to take a break in their off time.
James Hoffman almost picked it as the winner on a blind taste test of US grocery coffee. I think Pete’s ended up winning? Anyway it was fun to see his reaction, since it was the first of the bunch to actually taste decent.
Dunkin’ locations are inconsistent, unfortunately. Your best bet is to buy a bag of their whole bean and brew it yourself with proper ratios.
I’m not surprised from the company that markets “air roasted coffee”, but George Howell surprises me.
Dunkin’ is based in MA and their regular stuff is on the lighter side, especially for commercially available coffee. I think you just got unlucky.
Ah, interesting. That experience combined with the wording of “this update requires postgres 16”, I can see where the confusion comes from.
Interestingly enough, they fixed the documentation. Now it says “We recommend upgrading to PostgreSQL 16 due to a known memory leak in PSQL 15. To use the new image proxy feature, pict-rs version 0.5+ is required.” https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-06-07_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.4_-_Image_Proxying_and_Federation_improvements
My understanding is that postgres doesn’t need to be upgraded. It’ll still work with version 15 or whatever you have. Postgres 15 has some sort of memory leak that they’re trying to get away from, so they made 16 the new default.
Same with the “requirement” to upgrade pict-rs to the latest version. You can keep the old version if you don’t care about the new image proxy feature.
Really it’s a not a problem of needing to upgrade this stuff, but a problem with the documentation which isn’t clear. That’s a big weak spot for the Lemmy project in my opinion. I only learned the above information from lurking a bit in the Matrix chat.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Might be better to install it through Obtanium by adding this link https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager
I’m doing this with Immich as the photo storage software, MagicMirror OS on a raspberry pi, and the MMM-ImmichSlideShow module to show the pictures on an old computer monitor.
If you’re new to self hosting stuff, this will be sort of difficult to get set up. If you’re comfortable with the command line, config files, docker, etc, then it’s worth the effort.
I recommend just getting either:
It doesn’t have to be a “server”.
That sounds really frustrating. Here’s to some good pulls!
That review started off promising, but then the guy starts selling it. Boo.
Same. I still keep portainer around in case I want to browse/manage images and networks from a GUI, though.
Dockge makes it so much easier to update things, though.
I wonder why they are still on 0.18.4. The latest Lemmy version is 0.19.5 and it has some nice features compared to 0.18.x.
Yes, you’re so helpful. We are so lucky to have you.
