Insane work. My dollar a week is obviously well spent on you. :)

Thats a lot of text to say „I‘m not interested in debate.“

I think its the wrong platform if you just want to push your ideas and takes and cant accept different opinions. A blog would be more fitting in that case.

And again, have a good one.

I think peertube needs shortd and mobile apps desperately to fill this void.

I completely agree that everyone should use free software. Not for free of course but by donating or straight up paying for it.

That aside, I think your stance is the „vindictive vegan“ approach. While I‘m a newly found fan of veganism, I strongly dislike the „you’re either with us or against us“ approach.

I personally run a matrix server (which is foss, even if it sounds like its second class foss to you) and have it bridged to discord, whatsapp and signal. Why? Because that helps me convert people.

Their reasons for joining matrix:

• You can use one app (fluffychat in my case) instead of four apps
• People on the other platforms miss out if the bridge goes down which shows them its matrix first. With mautrix bridges, the bridge very rarely goes down btw
• their chats will be accessible for them forever if they wish, with backups they can take whenever they like
• no chance the EU breaks their encryption
• no chance for discord, meta or anyone else to sell their data (of course not in the bridged room)

I think there are better albeit more manipulative ways to get people to convert instead of punching them on the nose. Certain matrix only rooms do help, provided they have no equivalent on the other side.

Anyway, have a good one.

Walled garden or die

Thats how i read azure

I dont know about caddy but nginx proxy manager does this very well. Also, if running in docker, you can expose the port that runs ssh for forgejo und a different port than the host machine‘s (eg 2222). In that case you just put the remote in with the port and call it a day.

I‘ve been their webhosting for 10 years and besides some minor errors (website didnt work for 30 mins here and there) I‘m very happy.

I informed myself about their cloud programme with help of a sales rep and although it is quite expensive compared to hetzner, it seems very usable.

I dont think you need to worry about them for a vps. Its not like they would rob you or your data will be lost. They might turn out to be slightly better or worse than hetzner long term which would both be fine in my book.

Understood!

I meant much too complex to grasp without more context, sorry if that came out wrong.

I didnt think of the pi being potentially used for high resolution/audio quality footage. My pi runs on a 720p tv so the internal gpu has a lot less to do than yours so I guess its possible that was the problem.

Good luck

Just run a sustained load over the cable in both directions and/or use testing tools. Even if the cables were okay, something is sincerely wrong with that setup and its not the pi as they work very well.

Your setup sounds much too complex and misses key information and troubleshooting steps. The flat cables are kind of the cherry on top.

You need to start laying out which devices grab which stuff from where and which cables, switches, routers and panels you are using.

Otherwise people wont be able to help you. A new router isnt going to help you at all.

Example: I run plex on a terra miniserver, stream to my phones and computers over wifi (the server is connected via cat7 wired networking with a tested gigabit connection). I also stream to a libreelec-pi in another room which is also on wifi and has issues sometimes. That is why I‘m gonna wire the connection later this month so that is no issue. I also have an appletv in the livingroom which is connected by wire and has no buffering. There are 3 gigabit switches and a fritz!box also connected but they‘re all gigabit as well: Between PCs and the main router, appletv and the main router and the server and the main router.

Yeah no. Forget it. We‘re not speaking the same language.

My interpretation was by far the most generous to your position, because it’s the only way it’s coherent.

You’re entitled to your opinion, I guess.

hardware that doesn’t actually provide anything anyone can realistically use

Thats misrepresenting reality and making assumptions while clearly showing lack of expertise

at a reasonable price

Thats completely arbitrary. If a price is reasonable or not depends on many factors. Obvious oversymplification.

That’s treating a current purchase as an imaginary investment in maybe eventually being able to buy something useful.

This shows that you have no idea what you are talking about. Small companies and open source projects depend on people buying their products instead of cheaper, sometimes better performing products of big conglomerates for other reasons than price alone.

I’m not buying hardware that doesn’t suit my needs as an investment hoping maybe it eventually will.

You were misrepresenting things. Your needs have nothing to do with things not being functional. Something can be perfectly functional and not meet someones needs. Nobody said you should buy it as an investment.

Yeah, thats the reason why we‘re in this capitalist hellhole. Perfection comes from billionaire money, nothing else.

Interesting! Thanks for chiming in. I‘ll read up about it.

Sounds like a cool idea! :)

Indeed I am. I‘m in posession of a working laptop but I could maybe order a riscv tablet from pine64. I already have the pinetime and the stuff is pretty awesome.

I really enjoyed watching it. Thanks for referring to it.

I‘m more on the builder/tinkerer side so I‘m pretty much in starting position with risc-v now. But yes, its going to be some time before any of it is user ready as a pc.

Tangent: If we started buying risc-v systems we might get to a point where they can actually compete.
