Regardless of how you host Nextcloud, what you described is one thing I really like about Nextcloud: the major part of it being synced to several devices. As long as you have a computer with the desktop client that's on every once in a while, your stuff is saved across different devices.

I've had a similar thing happen once btw, deleted the wrong server. It was "just" monitoring data, but I had spent a lot of effort building it properly. I eventually started over it, but knowing the whole thing is gone feels really bad.

Playing information ping pong. We sent them some issue with a lot of information and instead of actually investigating they often dragged on the whole thing by asking for details they should have themselves, taking hours-days to respond etc before they actually did something. We often had to escalate issues via our account manager.

This was all on enterprise support while I was working for a company that paid six figures each month for infrastructure in their data center.

Only know Ionos in DE but I can't recommend it, the support is pretty bad.

Cool! Thought it's like alternative.to but it's actually finding free instances of Etherpad, Jitsu etc.

Denke, zwei drei Sätze zu jedem Eintrag wären relativ hilfreich. So ist es einfach eine lange Liste ohne Einblick was was ist.

That's cool! I've always had the idea of a small k3s cluster on old phones with postmarketOS. I guess it doesn't work with older phones which don't have the latest Android Version but given the homelab trend generally goes towards small, low power devices, this could continue the trend with super small and low power phones. Probably in 2 years when current gen phones rotate out of company leasing contracts?

Does your router have webinterface where you can monitor and potentially limit network usage of devices?

I'm not too familiar with the arr stack but if it is constantly downloading videos it's probably using full bandwidth. Maybe you can also limit in the arr settings or throttle the network interface on the laptop.

I think there's several open source rss-to-lemmy bots already so I think there's not much need for another one. If you want to do it for experience go ahead but not sure it's necessary.

Also, be careful with how often the bot posts etc. Filling inactive communities with botposts usually does not help with actual user activity.

If you find one, keep up updated! It's one of the things where you really need a critical mass already for it to be useful so it's hard to kick off.

Edit: NVM, missed the part where you disabled remote images.

Hell yeah, you just sent the first notification to my instance :)

Just set up Lemmy! I wonder if this gets through
