Recommend me a good and cheap VPS. by Riktastic in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Contabo and NetCup are really cheap. But only if you use their shared VPS option. If you are lucky the CPU steal is low.

Audiobookshelf media sorter by Riktastic in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I sirt it manually. I just rip a CD, edit its metadata with MusicBrainz Picard then place all the MP3's in a folder for just the book and then move it to the folder of the author.

Once scanned by audiobookshelf I modify the metadata a bit more and then let audiobookshelf combine the book to one file.

What if a Reddit admin participated here? by Riktastic in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Probably welcoming, not every Reddit employee stands behind the decisions made by their management.

If they enjoy to browse Lemmy more then Reddit it doesn't automatically make them unloyal to their job or a enemy of Lemmy.

Is this the federation killer?

Dutch slap new restrictions on chips exports to China by Riktastic in c/world@lemmy.world

The Netherlands/ASML has no choice. The US is threathening NL with trade allegation, because the US fears the Chinese's technical advances.

Why is the most popular computer os closed source while the most popular mobile os is open source? by Riktastic in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[-] Riktastic@laguna.chat 5 points 1 year ago

Well, Windows isn't that popular in the computer scene. Linux is by far more popular for servers, IoT devices (payment terminals, heartrate monitors...) and critical systems. But Windows has an edge in the PC scene. But to be honest a Apple Mac is also in the formfactor PC. These charts are always way of, just because their definition and monitoring techniques are not trustworthy.

The problem with Linux: it is opensource and free, and everyone can rebrand it. But at the same time everyone wants to make a euro out of it. There are a lot of companies that misuse its license by closing the source.

Lemmy resembles the old reddit experience so well that they even emulate the old reddit server performance by Riktastic in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

The top three instances a currently overcrowded. I recommend checking out a smaller instance (for example https://laguna.chat).

Smaller instances are still able to access to same content. But it is just a different server that processes the content.

YSK: If you want faster and less buggy User experience, move to a smaller instance that is hosted close to you. by Riktastic in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

Page loads are snappy and lightning fast at laguna.chat :). Open signups and open for new communities. Hosted in Germany and GDPR ready. https://laguna.chat

Anything else to consider when hosting a Lemmy instance in the EU? by Riktastic in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[-] Riktastic@laguna.chat 10 points 1 year ago

First of all, I'm not a lawyer or a legal consultant, just a instance admin that wants to make sure that his instance complies.

Lemmy does not store any PII (birthdates, legal names, addresses,securitynumbers). But users are able to share whatever they want. And that can be a problem.

Check out my instances legal page: https://Laguna.chat/legal

In the future I want to make sure that my instances content can only be shared by GDPR respecting instances.

So, libreddit and nitter are dead, what now? by Riktastic in c/privacyguides@lemmy.one

[-] Riktastic@laguna.chat 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Teddit doesn't hold any data. It's "data" was reddit. It's developers think that when you use the free key for 60 requests per second, that it will probably be enough.

Libreddit is trying to use the private Reddit API . Which is currently being used by the official Reddit app.

Running Teddit using a free key seems fairly usable, as long as you are self hosting an instance. Libreddits's approach tries to bring back the old situation

Projects will deviate and find ways to be useful again.

Is Windows 11 worth installing over 10? by Riktastic in c/technology@beehaw.org

Well the gaming on Linux scene is quite big. Most triple AAA games without anticheat work. The anticheat systems are changing to allow Linux. Check out ProtonDB or Lutris.
