IMHO not worth to self host Lemmy, as it will be an inferior experience compared to an active server, where you can discover many new communities and posts

Unless the fun of setting it up

When you kill everything that moves, sometimes you might accidentally kill a target too

From an environmental point of view it seems good.

Shipping coal to another continent so they can burn it to boil water and generate electricity saving half penny per kWh is stupid

Can’t wait to see a 40 minutes rant on LTT where he will feel betrayed and teach everyone how to use jellyfin

i like zipline but i use it for smaller files where download resumability is not a key factor

Behind a cloudflare tunnel you can use a self signed or expired certificate, just check the “no TLS verify” checkbox

Edit: or use DNS based verification, nginx proxy manager can do it automatically using cloudflare api when behind cloudflare tunnels

Btw purchasing a transit ticket in Naples is optional, only 2 out of 5 people pay for it

Exactly, they have a release schedule, why their own plugin, that they’re heavily promoting as a feature, isn’t following that? If for some reason the forms app isn’t ready for that date, why not postponing the launch instead of having it broken for who know how many months?

It’s not a plugin made by someone else in their free time. They knew that by updating to NC 30 that feature that was marketed just 6 months ago would be disabled, so at least have the decency to write it in the release notes. I subscribe to the newsletter and the RSS for what, just enjoy the marketing buzzwords?

It’s like if Microsoft releases an operating system with a buggy and broken taskbar because of a rushed self imposed deadline and fixes it one year later.

I have daily Borg backups held for at least one year but the problem is that the issue came out at least two weeks ago and nobody noticed. It’s better to have nothing (customer gets error page when viewing useless survey that nobody is watching) rather to restore such a old backup (everyone loses 2-4 weeks of data)

They’re releasing a new version every two month or so and dropping them rapidly from support, pinning it with a tag means that in 12 months the install would be exploitable.

Now, I did directly to production because this is low priority stuff, but it would have happened even with a testing stage. I would have never noticed that the forms apps was disabled, the system disabled it without any notification.

You would expect that an official app supports the latest release, no?

This wasn’t an app released by a nobody in their free time, this is a main feature heavily advertised in their blog. Look by yourself:

https://nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-forms-to-keep-your-surveys-private/

It’s not unreasonable to get pissed when 6 months after that blog post it doesn’t support the latest release anymore.

On the top right. Maybe it’s some a/b testing to see which one “converts” (=annoys) more. I don’t have the “just take me to the download” link like in the other image, just the X to close the login popup

Unacceptable IMHO, I just want to give my clients an easy link to download the huge files I’m sending them without ads or tricks. With this wall many users will get confused and create a new account

Both on mobile and desktop there’s a “login wall” but it can be dismissed by pressing on the X.

Still, it’s a dark pattern that I don’t like, tomorrow at work we will discuss alternatives as we subscribed (one single account shared between everyone) just for sending attachments with filelink using thunderbird - and with a “login wall” it no longer fits the purpose

Shared from a paid account or from a free account?

If shared from paid account, then tomorrow I’m going to cancel our company account as this is unacceptable, we use that for sharing files in emails (we tried to use a self hosted nextcloud but customers are too dumb to figure out how to press the download button)

Free usage is still limited to 2gb unless you got a lot of referrals. It was a lot in 2008, but it’s difficult to daily use that in 2024
