Bombs are meant to make people happy. Unfortunately these bombs had a production malfunction that made it explode, causing sadness instead.

Silly Israel! Next time try checking if bombs are correctly functioning to give happy and love!

Cereal is not even a meal. It’s a sugar bomb with no nutritional facts at all.

It serves one purpose only: making people, most kids, obese and diabetics.

Algorithms is a consequence. Most of social medias are profitable, so they want you to be engaged as much as possible. At the beginning of Facebook or even the late Orkut, they were only a simple platform with no algorithm that only shows stuff like a showcase.

But as soon as Facebook starts to make money showing ads, algorithms started to become a thing. But look, it was a social media already.

Also, was Orkut a social media? Cause it was really close from what Reddit/Lemmy is today.

About forums I think there is a subtle difference. Forums are, generally speaking, communities driven with on purpose only, inside another website. For example, we can enter Acer website and go to the forums, which is used to talk about Acer products and support. Any other topic is off-topic, therefore deleted.

When forums are aggregated into a huge platform that can have different communities, with easy to-go click and follow this community, there is no specific topic and you can join any type of content you want with only one account, I call it social media, cause it’s different enough from forums and the main purpose is people interacting with each other

as you could argue any site with a comment section is social media.

I disagree with that. If the main purpose of your site is not interaction, so it cannot be a social media. Lemmy, Reddit, Kbin and other platforms like that has the main purpose share of knowledge and interaction between peers

For example, I may have a blog and this blog has a comment section in my posts. However, despite people can interact with each other in the comment section, the main purpose of my blog is post my own content. The interaction between people is secondary and consequence.

But in Lemmy the main purpose is interact. If not enough people participate, Lemmy dies. There is no other reason to use Lemmy other than interact with people.

We are, somehow, socializing here. And here is a kind of media. So, yes, it is a social media.

YouTube is also a social media.

Social media is a generic concept and should not be limited to Facebook/Instagram-like platforms.

I would be sincere:

Movies take too many space in SSD and too many resources to host, therefore I’m not going to host movies I disagree with. And if she really want this movies to be digitalized, I would give her a choice to buy new hardware (probably SSD) to be dedicated to her.

I feel ambiguous with that question…

Clearly OP has social skills issues and maybe it’s a genuine question. Or it can be just a way to offend…

Either way I think OP must rethink hes attitude toward other people.

Looks like you live in a dystopia, where making healthy relations are scarce.

Maybe you would be great to practice your social skills, dude…

You are lucky that people are nice, cause due to your petulance I would never help you

Im using Matomo, however my use case is different from yours. I run a business and need more complete data, which Matomo gives me

I also had in mind Plausible, cause it’s less resource demandant, but at the end I have chosen Matomo

Alright… And what about US sponsoring every single war out there, including Israel and Ukraine?

I am more inclined to say that Russia and Iran are responding on US battlefield laboratories. Afterall, this wars are happening mainly because US cannot live in peace with other countries, always plotting coups everywhere

Well, I bet that if any country attacked one embassy from who is condemning, the strike back would be very worse.

Did you configure your router to use and broadcast the adguard ip addr as DNS server?

You must configure your adguard ip as DNS server

As long as you set your home server properly, with allow rules, firewalls and stuff, you’ll be fine

But don’t be sloppy, take care of your server

I think it’s possible to run everything in the same RPi 3b, however I think it will not be smooth, cause there is only 1GB of ram available…

I think the best is one device for each service, however I know that sometime we can’t afford that, so I think you need at least 1 device for Pi-Hole and Octoprint, and another to the Home Assistant

With AdGuard Home you can set your wife’s devices to bypass protection. Just set her devices to static ip and set a custom rule like:

@@||*^$client=127.0.0.1

Where 127.0.0.1 must be changed for her ip address. This rule means:

@@|| = unblock
*^ = everything
$client = for this client

Yes, you can setup a DNS server to redirect these requisitions to the servers. However you’ll have to make sure that every single device is using the DNS server you configured.

You can also configure avahi (on linux) or other zeroconf (you must find out what zeroconf each other system have, cause I don’t know) to recognize local hostnames as mDNS

I use avahi to discover my octopi.local in my network and it works like a charm

Can’t you backup your database?

You don’t actually need a NAS. You can install in an old hardware you have and it will work just fine.

However things may become short in space quickly, cause video needs a lot of storage. So if you want to host many video files, I would recommend at least high capacity HDs. A NAS would be the perfect setting, but not always we can do perfect settings.

What I suggest however, is to be sure that your network settings (router, mainly) support streaming, cause if your router sucks, you’ll not only become frustrated soon with the streaming, but all your connection with internet in general may become degraded.

Also, you can start small, with a small server with internet HD, and then adjust and implement NAS in the future. It’s an easy task.
