I've had an Ubuntu 22.04 setup going for around a year, and over that year I've had to increase the size of the partition holding my /var folder multiple times. I'm now up to 20GB and again running into problems, mainly installing new apps, because that partition is again nearly full. I've used commands sudo apt clean and sudo journalctl --vacuum-size=500 to temporarily clear up some space, but it doesn't take long to fill back up, and gets less effective with time, til I have no choice but to expand the partition again.

Am I doing something wrong? Is it normal to need 20GB+ for var? Is there a way to safely reclaim space I don't know about?

Fair enough. Seems to be working, so thanks again!

Giving this a try, thanks. I notice in the comments someone said something about Cloudflare's ToS being limited to HTML and makes it sound like serving video through the tunnel could mean getting charged. I'm hosting movies on this Jellyfin server, so I guess I should be concerned?

Edit: I did some research on the Google Fiber reddit and it seems like broken port forwarding is a common issue with the provided hardware. Most say just BYO router. Sigh.


Tl;Dr: port forwarding isn't working after a network hardware upgrade, even after enabling it and rebooting all equipment, and without a firewall enabled.

I've been running a public-facing Jellyfin server on Ubuntu 22.04 for the past few months without too much trouble. Today I upgraded my networking equipment to a Google Fiber Network Box. I ended up having to set a new static IP address for my server device. I also had to switch from using the Google Home app to using the Google Fiber app or website to configure my network. Everything's working now except for port forwarding. The network settings give me the ability to forward ports, but port checkers keep telling me the ports I've opened are not open.

I've tried rebooting the server, router, and modem (and closing and reopening the ports) multiple times to no avail. UFW is installed on the server but it's inactive, and I don't have any other firewalls. I don't know what else could be blocking the ports.

I'm still sort of a newbie to self hosting, so maybe there's something I'm overlooking. But I've done several web searches and couldn't find any solutions I haven't already tried.

I did notice though that it seems every device on the network has the same public IP address. I don't know for certain that wasn't the case with my old setup, but it did seem strange. Again I'm not an expert on this stuff, so maybe it's nothing. I couldn't find anything in network settings that would let me change that either.

I've never used Tutanota but been a Proton Unlimited user for a few years now. I definitely like the mail service, and Drive and VPN are nice but can be slow, especially Drive. Everything else I don't have much use for, and honestly I cringe when I see the new stuff they're working on. Not that any of it's bad, but it feels like they're in the "can't just make a good product" camp, constantly trying to add on new stuff instead of focusing on quality. Could have it all wrong, though, I'm just a person, not an analyst.

KDE connect is a must-have on all my devices. I mainly use it for quick file transfers but other plugins occasionally.

I don't love old memes. They bore me. I see and make plenty of new stuff that makes me laugh, including laughing at consumer culuture. But most of thosr memes are not on Lemmy or Reddit.

Yeah, most people aren't on social media to see "what their friends are up to," they're there for the memes, the culture, the brands (including pop artists), whatever the latest "thing" is. Mastodon doesn't have any of that, or at least it's very hard to find.

So what you're saying is that in the year 2062, every college bro is gonna have a Morbius poster in their dorm room

Pretty good read

I've had multiple dreams where people from my past messaged me something meaningful, but before i can fully read it, I accidentally scroll past it and spend the rest of the dream frantically trying to find it again.

False, my employer would never also get us breadsticks and dip.

Yeah, overpriced + wellness culture nonsense
