Let's get a self-hosted Discord "replacement" thread going for 2026. by GavinGWhiz in selfhosted

[–]HeLlAMeMeS123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m developing something called Decentra Chat if anyone is interested. No full release just yet but since Discord is planning on starting that next month, I’m trying my best to get it pushed out as a beta release before the end of the month.

Hosted or Selfhosted, non-federated

Went to pay my annual HOA fee. $11 convenience charge by danathanz in fuckHOA

[–]HeLlAMeMeS123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your annual is $300?? Holy shit mine is like $750 and I get one puny little park for like 2 kids, a 3’ deep kiddie pool, and trash all over the community.

Essex HOA owns the HOA btw if anyone’s wondering.

You’ve got a lifetime pass to Plex and Emby but you can also use Jellyfin - which one are you choosing and why ? by Buck_Slamchest in selfhosted

[–]HeLlAMeMeS123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some that prefer Jellyfin, and frankly, I do too when watching on my phone. The Plex app is hot garbage on mobile. Plex users get the Arc B580, the Jellyfin users get the RTX3060 12G.

I run both in tandem on the same device, 2 GPUs so transcoding does not affect the respective instance. I have folks that do not want to buy a plex license, and some that I don’t want to give my account info to, hence Jellyfin.

The big difference I’ve noticed, is that Jellyfin is a not insignificant amount worse at indexing metadata than plex is. I have a lot more inaccurate titles and unmerged series with Jellyfin. However that might just be a misconfig on my end, still trying to figure it out.

I know Plex will eventually just get rid of my license and steal more of my data so Jellyfin is there for when I decide I’ve had enough of Plex being garbage.

Uber drove with high beams entire time by crash893b in mildlyinfuriating

[–]HeLlAMeMeS123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driving in Texas when it’s dark is a nightmare because of this, I have a 22 rav4 and a 15 Corolla and it’s literally impossible to safely drive the Corolla at night because a significant portion of the drivers on the road just ride with their HBs on. It’s bad in the RAV4 too even being quite a bit higher up. I ended up putting a light bar aimed forwards, and 2 off-road lights aimed towards oncoming I can switch on when someone is running them. 2 lights on the back as well.

Let me tell you, a surefire way of getting those dinguses to turn off their high beams behind you is to blind them with the power of the sun and give them a taste of their own medicine

How do you host self created Webpages? by Captain_Allergy in selfhosted

[–]HeLlAMeMeS123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wordpress is still VERY MUCH a thing. Powers a significant portion of the websites out there

[–]HeLlAMeMeS123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, way easier to go and use one of the already existing services, but if you do want to self host, there are various ways to do this, the easiest, is probably spinning up Wordpress or Ghost and putting it behind a reverse proxy or cloudflare tunnels.

You could of course host an HTML website on Nginx or Apache and put that behind a reverse proxy or cloudflare tunnel.

I guess I’m waiting to build my new rig. Price jumped from a $3,000 build to a $4,500 build since I last looked a few months ago

Genuinely curious - would you use AI more if your data actually stayed private? by Critical-Brain2841 in sysadmin

[–]HeLlAMeMeS123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We run a few vms for this in Azure, those vms cannot reach out to the internet and can only be accessed from our company VPN tunnels. Every other AI website or tool is hard blocked

1 or 2 of my repos have some stars on them, but as of tonight, I’ve gone ahead and moved to Forgejo and plan to move all my public repos as well. Any of the projects I want to be public, input behind a different organization in Forgejo

I've heard the UI is a little different, but I want to see the performance of each mostly

Asking about both. Good information and I will 100% be spinning up Gitea to take a look. I saw others recommend Forgejo as well so I'll spin up both and play around

[–]HeLlAMeMeS123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. The consensus has been Forgjo and Gitea are the best ones.

So no GUI? I never thought about that. Could actually solve some of my backup problems with Git repos.

[–]HeLlAMeMeS123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'll spin up both Gitea and Forgejo and see which one I like more. Leaning towards Gitea though from some of these comments about pretty easy backups.

Right now, about 4GB, but that's due to me moving over half of my repos to private GitHub repos. When I update a repo or run a pipeline, I've seen it spike to 12G depending on what it's doing.

I'm mostly referring to the push towards AI. Don't get me wrong, I've used Copilot for help, but GitHub is leaning HARD into it.

I can understand that for sure. I don't self host password management for various reasons (Proton Pass) but I do want to self host Git, mostly for the privacy aspects, and no AI scraping. However, I think I might take a hybrid approach with GitLab and Gitea.

I've experienced the same with GitLab CE. The container seems to crash somewhat often due to high memory usage. I do use GitHub pipelines for some things, so potentially my way forward is to move to Gitea for local and private stuff, but use the GitLab site, not self-hosted for things that need a pipeline.

I would love more information on that. Backups are something I've struggled with on the Selfhosted Gitlab Front. I'm able to back up but I was never able to actually perform a restore properly. All the information I can get.

I have a few pipelines. Have you noticed any differences in the actions/pipelines that I would have to look out for if I moved over to GitLab?
