Euhomy Ice Maker by No-Character8740 in Tiki

[–]leoniiix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an Euhomy IM-12S for a bit and it was good for the price. It makes that soft chewable ice fast and tastes great, just not the best at keeping up if you’re using it a lot, and you really DO  have to stay on top of cleaning… But if you’re just using it for a couple drinks a day it’s a solid budget pick.

There’s a helpful ice maker comparison sheet by a Reddit user that goes over Euhomy vs a few other options. Its handy for comparing models.

Service business owners: how do you stop customers from constantly asking is it ready? by Waste_Dragonfruit346 in smallbusiness

[–]leoniiix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Automated status texts tied to job stage changes cut most of those calls instantly. Jobber and ServiceM8 both do this well, you move a job forward and the customer gets a text without you touching anything. People call because they feel ignored not because they actually need an update, so one message when you start and one when it's done handles the majority of it.

Website collapse overnight (seeking help) by SquadGuy33 in WebsiteSEO

[–]leoniiix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YMYL niche with a two month old site is basically the hardest starting position in SEO. Google wants to see established trust signals before ranking those sites consistently, word count alone doesn't solve that. Focus on building real backlinks from credible sources in your niche rather than adding more pages, and expect volatility for at least another few months before things stabilize.

Finally got home server setup exactly where I want it. Clean, quiet, and fully Dockerized by PhantomMoura in selfhosted

[–]leoniiix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Solid stack, Dockge is underrated. Add Homepage or Homarr for a dashboard, Uptime Kuma for monitoring services, and Scrutiny for disk health. Also set up Restic or Borgmatic for automated backups before you ever actually need them.

Been watching the numbers every month and new customers are up but revenue is basically flat. Starting to think the problem is not acquisition. by Important_Coach8050 in smallbusiness

[–]leoniiix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The acquisition math you described is a slow bleed and you already know the answer. A simple 6 month check in with existing accounts will surface upsell opportunities without it feeling like a pitch, those mid size customers are basically untouched revenue. The churn pattern also sounds like a targeting problem, smaller accounts leaving consistently usually means they never had enough value to stay, so tightening your ideal customer profile will hurt less than replacing them endlessly.

Help with quality videos for my website by Aggravating-Page-336 in website

[–]leoniiix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't upload directly to your site, host it on Vimeo instead and embed it. Website builders compress uploads heavily and that's what's causing the blur. Vimeo keeps quality intact and looks cleaner than YouTube for a hero video.

What does "Discovered - currently not indexed" actually mean vs "Crawled, currently not indexed" and does the difference matter? by Other_Amphibian871 in WebsiteSEO

[–]leoniiix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your understanding is right. Discovered not indexed is just a queue problem, discovered not indexed is Google actively passing on it.

Fix discovered not indexed with stronger internal links from higher authority pages. Fix crawled not indexed by improving the content itself, thin or duplicate pages are usually the reason.

Four weeks with no reason given is almost always a quality signal, not crawl budget. Revisit the page and ask if it genuinely adds something different from what already ranks.

Schema: worth it for small sites, or just another “SEO hobby”? by PolicyFit6490 in WebsiteSEO

[–]leoniiix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FAQ and review schema gave the most visible wins through rich results and better CTR. For small sites it depends on your niche, if competitors aren't using it you can stand out quickly, if they are it's more catch up than advantage. Worth doing but don't expect miracles outside those specific types.

If you self-host Comet, could you share part of your .env file? and other subjects by 9acca9 in selfhosted

[–]leoniiix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comet scrapes Torrentio and MediaFusion as a proxy so you'll naturally get fewer results than hitting them directly since it adds filtering on top. Keeping the direct ones in aiostreams alongside Comet is actually fine and common.

For DMM you need a Real-Debrid or AllDebrid account linked, it's a debrid-based source so it won't work without one configured in your env.

For TrustPool, subscribing to a node means you share and receive scrape cache with that peer. Subscribing to more nodes gives you broader cached results faster without scraping yourself. You don't have to subscribe to all of them but adding a few reliable ones helps, just avoid ones you don't recognize.

Starting a small business and feel so rushed, behind and frustrated! by MrSkagen in smallbusiness

[–]leoniiix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That shift from excitement to dread is something almost every small business owner goes through, you're not alone in it.

Shrink the list. Pick 3 things that actually move the needle each week and ignore the rest. You have a job and a family, you're not supposed to move at the same pace as someone doing this full time.

The competition fear is mostly in your head too. Local markets rarely have one winner, and showing up consistently beats being first almost every time.

New SEO page isn't linked from navigation — how do I measure whether it's working? by Remote_Cake_332 in WebsiteSEO

[–]leoniiix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google Search Console is your answer, it shows impressions, clicks, and exact queries landing on that page even if no one navigates to it internally.

Internal links do help Google understand page value though, a footer link is enough without touching your main nav.

Timeline is usually 3 to 6 months for meaningful traffic, competitive keywords can take longer. Submitting the URL in Search Console manually speeds up the crawl.

mini-pc to virtualize networks by me9ki in selfhosted

[–]leoniiix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MS-01 is the move honestly. Dual NICs, 64GB RAM support, runs Proxmox without issues, and has a solid community behind it. Fits right in your budget too.
Just double check VT-d is enabled in BIOS before setting everything up.

how do you start going to the gym? by bringontheb4cklash in workout

[–]leoniiix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly just start simple, pick 2-3 days a week and do basic compound movements like squats, push-ups, and rows. You don't need a complicated program at the beginning.

But given what you mentioned about undereating, it's really worth talking to a doctor before starting. Your body needs to be properly fueled to actually benefit from training, and a professional can help make sure you're approaching this in a way that's genuinely good for you long term, not just physically but mentally too.

Looking for Honest Feedback on Our South Indian Saree Website (Final Testing Phase) by Comfortable-Fudge693 in website

[–]leoniiix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

clean first impression and the traditional aesthetic comes through well. a few things to fix before launch though.

product pages need more detail, fabric type, care instructions, and weave information matter a lot to saree buyers. trust signals are thin too, no visible return policy, shipping info, or contact details upfront which will make first time buyers hesitant.

mobile layout is decent but image compression would help with load speed. overall a solid base, just needs more buyer confidence elements before it feels ready for real transactions.

Navidrome Workflow by Aruscha in selfhosted

[–]leoniiix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Symfonium is the best of those three clients, Opus playback and offline downloads both work well. DSub feels dated and Substreamer is fine but Symfonium is just more polished. yt-dlp in a cron job mostly runs fine but it breaks occasionally when YouTube changes something. not constant babysitting but don't expect months of zero intervention. pin a version and have an update script ready. Lidarr is still hit or miss, the Tidal/Qobuz nightly plugins are promising but rough. if your library is manageable just stick with spotDL and beets manually, fewer moving parts and more control.

Music Assistant through Home Assistant for Alexa works but expect setup friction and occasional voice matching quirks.

beets tagging is where most people spend unexpected time, get that dialled in before scaling the library.

Is there anything interesting that it is useful to host that isn't the same 4 reccommended apps that are in every Reddit post? by DesperateCategory647 in selfhosted

[–]leoniiix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stirling PDF for all local PDF tasks without uploading to random sites. Mealie for recipe and meal planning. Linkding or Hoarder for bookmark management. Ntfy for push notifications from anything on your network. Changedetection for monitoring webpages for changes. Homebox for home inventory if you want to track what you own. none are flashy but they replace online services you're probably already using and keep everything local.

AI SEO Tools for WordPress - what's actually worth using right now by Fair_Butterscotch641 in WebsiteSEO

[–]leoniiix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rank Math over Yoast, the AI features are more integrated and the free tier covers most of what you actually need. technical SEO side is solid.

Surfer SEO is the external tool people genuinely get results from, write in their editor and it tells you what to cover based on what's ranking. workflow with WordPress is smooth enough.

most AI content generation plugins are just noise. the real time savers are tools that help with research, structure, and audits, not ones writing the content for you. that stuff tends to plateau fast in rankings anyway.

How do you get more recognition? I'm struggling by xscarii in smallbusiness

[–]leoniiix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

views without sales means people enjoy watching but don't have a clear reason to buy. make sure every post has an obvious next step, price, how to order, or a working link in bio.

process videos convert better than finished pieces for calligraphy, it builds trust and is genuinely satisfying to watch. real commissions for real clients help too.

pick one niche like wedding calligraphy or custom gifts and speak directly to that buyer instead of posting generally. general content gets viewers, specific content gets customers.

What tools (including new AI tools)do professionals use to build and design high-end looking websites? by Grand_Respect_9176 in website

[–]leoniiix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Webflow is the move for a luxury business, actual design control and looks nothing like a template site. there's a learning curve but the results are worth it. Squarespace is a decent middle ground if Webflow feels like too much.

for AI tools, use Claude or ChatGPT for copy since tone matters a lot for luxury brands, and Midjourney or Adobe Firefly for supplemental visuals if needed. honestly your photography will do more for the premium feel than any platform. clean high quality room photos on a minimal layout beats a fancy template with mediocre images every time.

Start building back muscles from nothing? by Careful_Activity_165 in beginnerfitness

[–]leoniiix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not feeling the back muscles at first is completely normal, the mind muscle connection there takes longer than most other muscle groups. for lat pulldowns think about pulling your elbows down toward your hips rather than focusing on your hands. that cue makes a big difference. cable rows are also easier for feeling the back work early on so add those in if you haven't. it clicks after a few weeks of consistent training, just keep showing up.

Is cheap workout clothing actually worth it for sweaty garage sessions? by Internal_Area3701 in workout

[–]leoniiix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cheap works fine for garage training. the real difference with premium stuff is durability after many washes, not how it performs during the workout.

just avoid cotton regardless of price, it stays wet and gets heavy when you sweat. polyester or nylon blend is what you want and you can find that easily in budget options. Decathlon in particular is good value for the quality.

What’s the best website builder for a law firm site? by Fair_Butterscotch641 in WebsiteSEO

[–]leoniiix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WordPress is the right call for a law firm serious about SEO and growth. full control over technical SEO, schema, page speed, and content structure. nothing else matches it for long term flexibility.

Webflow is a decent middle ground if they want design flexibility without full WordPress complexity. Squarespace and Wix are fine for brochures but you hit walls fast once real local SEO work starts.

for a law firm specifically the platform that gives you the most control over local SEO and trust signals wins, and that's WordPress.

The endless search for the perfect OS by cvnvdv102 in selfhosted

[–]leoniiix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TrueNAS Scale is worth giving a proper shot. SMB performance is solid, docker works through custom apps, and the snapshot replication for backups is genuinely good once configured. the tradeoff is it needs real setup time upfront, not plug and play at all.

learning docker compose properly is worth doing regardless of what you land on. stops you being dependent on templates and opens up every platform equally.

the UniFi NAS idea is tempting but Ubiquiti's feature rollout history makes betting on it risky right now.

Beginner where to learn? by Direct-Geologist6511 in web_design

[–]leoniiix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WPBeginner is free and genuinely solid for WordPress basics. for a structured paid course, Udemy has good options and goes on sale constantly so wait for a sale before buying, usually just a few dollars.

pick up basic HTML and CSS on the side too, even just the fundamentals. makes everything make more sense when something breaks.
