Hi everyone!

I've been using Create-Synchronicity for a few years, and it's been great for my needs. However, it hasn't been updated in a while, and I'm curious if there might be a more current alternative out there.

I'm looking for features like mirror, incremental, and two-way incremental backups, as well as the ability to schedule my backups. Opensource is a great plus.

There are plenty of options available, so I thought it would be a good idea to ask you all what you're using and what you would recommend.

Thanks a bunch for your help!

Hey everyone!

A couple of years ago, I began my learning journey with a 60x60x120 cm tent and a 125w Kingbrite with Lm301h Mix Epistar 660nm.

Now that I'm moving to a new place with plenty of space, I'm considering upgrading my setup. I'm thinking about either an 80x80x160 or a 100x100x180 tent, and I believe a 240W lamp would suit my needs perfectly.

However, I live in Western Europe, and I noticed that Kingbrite is only available on Alibaba or Aliexpress. When I bought my first board, I ended up paying 80€ customs fees. I also can't find HLG options here.

If anyone in Europe has experience with sourcing good grow lights, I would really appreciate your advice! Thank you! :)

Hi !

3 weeks ago, I dicovered glassdown here.

It is great and I added it to obtainium.

But it looks like the repo moved.

It originally could be found at https://github.com/Sinneida/glassdown

Now I can only find it at https://github.com/RomanK2311/glassdown but it has no releases.

Where is the official repo now ?

Hi there,

I'm currently going through some significant changes in my life. I'll be making a professional transition soon by leaving Paris for a more rural area, but I won't bore you with all the details.

My issue is that I really value my privacy and dislike big tech companies like gafam. To protect myself, I use Pihole and only allow an old phone to have access to meta products.

I recently caved in and reactivated my old Facebook and Instagram accounts to help with advertising, along with using a platform similar to Hootsuite to streamline things. When responding to private messages on Instagram, I use Aeroinsta to block ads and telemetry.

I'm managing okay so far, but I've seen the success some people have on TikTok and feel tempted to create an account. The thought of it turns my stomach, though.

If you're in a similar situation where online communication is vital, how do you navigate it? Have you found any alternative apps for TikTok like Aerosinsta ?

I'd really appreciate hearing from you and getting some insights. Thank you for your input.

This is a followup to my previous post.

If you want to bind volumes outside of Docker, this is what you need to do.

There was a huge permission and volume mapping problem. I mention github issues that helped me here.

I hope that will help noobs and insecure people like me.

CSS will probably be missing because reasons, so bash into web container

docker exec -it mediacms_web_1 /bin/bash

Then

python manage.py collectstatic

No need to reboot

Hey there!

I'm a self-hosting enthusiast, and I'm learning the hard way, so I appreciate your patience as I navigate through this.

I've been on the hunt for a video hosting solution that offers categories and tags, and I've heard great things about MediaCMS. It seems like the perfect fit for what I need.

After some trial and error, I finally got it up and running. The only hiccup I'm facing now is with logging into the admin panel. I keep getting an error 500. I checked out some similar issues on github, but it doesn't seem to apply to my situation, and there isn't a solution posted. Plus, it looks like the developer is not very active on the issues.

I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem before and might have some insights to share.

Here's some additional info: I cloned the repository from https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms and made some edits to the docker-compse.yaml file to suit my preferences, mainly adjusting the volume paths. You can check it out here. The service takes a bit of time to start, but eventually it does and I can access the landing page. However, when I try to sign in, I just get a "Server Error (500)" message. I've checked the logs but haven't found anything useful.

Has anyone who uses MediaCMS encountered this issue before? Can someone reproduce and help me clear this out? Thanks a lot for your assistance!

Hey there!

I find myself frequently downloading large files on my android phone from servers that aren't always the fastest. These downloads can range from audio and video files to zip and rar files.

I'm on the lookout for an app that will allow me to resume downloads that have failed, as well as choose where to save each file individually.

So far, I've only come across apps that have been discontinued.

Do you happen to know of any good, regularly updated apps that fit the bill?

Thanks so much for your help :)

Hey there!

So, I've accumulated a ton of courses and tutorials over the years - everything from photography to cooking to music mixing and mastering, DIY, gardening, you name it.

I've been trying to keep everything organized with Jellyfin, but honestly, it's a bit of a hassle to navigate through all my content and find what I need.

I'd love to find something with a user-friendly interface where I can easily sort, organize, and tag all my courses and videos.

I've been searching high and low for a solution these past few days, but haven't had much luck. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Solution : Don't be stupid. Open the proper ports.

Hey there!

So, I'm getting ready to move from places to places for the next six months and it's going to be a bit of a hassle. My servers will be offline until I find a permanent home, which is stressing me out because I rely on a bunch of services I host for my daily routine.

So I've set up an Oracle free tier account so I can still access my favorite services while I'm in limbo. I'm using docker and Portainer to manage everything, and so far Serge (for the lolz) and Vikunja are up and running with no issues using the IP Oracle provided.

But when I tried to set up Bookstack, Whoogle and Searxng, they installed fine but for some reason they won't open. I've checked the logs and there are no errors, I just keep getting a timeout message in my browser.

I haven't tested any other services yet, but I'm stumped as to why these two won't cooperate. I'm just a casual hobbyist and not an expert, so if anyone could lend a hand, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Hello there.

First, I want to specify that I use Lychee-Docker and that's the only experience I have with Lychee.

I've been using it for some time to share family pics with family members and it's been great. However, with v5, I've noticed some issues that are making things a bit challenging. I appreciate some of the good ideas that came with the new update, but in my opinion, there are also quite a few bad decisions that have been made.

For example:

• Can't import photos / videos from server anymore. I sometimes used to drop files directly in a location of my server and then use the UI to import them. Convenient on mobile or with large number of files.

• Can't upload large files (LycheeOrg/Lychee#2207, LycheeOrg/Lychee#2129)

• Can't remove single / several photos from an album anymore. You need to delete the album and re-upload

• Can't obtain shorter link to a gallery anymore with the "share" button they removed a while back

• The new "+" menu should have a background for legibility

• There is a HUGE useless empty space at the top of galleries now

• Had to tinker with config like adding TRUSTED_PROXIES=* to fix a thing and was told to keep it anyway but the reason why and how to properly do it are not documented

• Had to temporarily fix my Nginx config but it seems like it has become a permanent fix, but it is not documented

But at the same time I LOVE these options for public albums:

• Original: Anonymous users can behold full-resolution photos.

• Hidden: Anonymous users need a direct link to access this album.

• Downloadable: Anonymous users can download this album.

• Password protected: Anonymous users need a shared password to access this album.

Actually, those 4 options are all I need. But I need the tool that provides them to work...

They said "the team is so slow that we don't have anybody to review complex pull requests." That makes me sad. I wish I had the time to learn how to code and help out, but I can't. And even if I could, I'd probably end up building my own tool in the end.

I am not looking for a google photos replacement. Immich is great but that is not what I want to use.

I have tried several known alternatives but I'm curious to hear your thoughts on Lychee in its current state and if you have any suggestions for other tools that could serve a similar purpose.

Do you know how is this meme called ? And what movie is it from ?

Thanks for your help.
