Yup, youll need the patches and root folders alongside the dockerfile at a minimum. Those COPY lines expect them. Clone is the way to go.

Did you just download a Dockerfile? Link to the repo, but I suspect you are correct and you need to clone and build from the clone.

It is a bot community. They are mirrored comments from reddit, using the reddit usernames. Its a little creepy.

The person running the instance beleives its necessary in order to prevent lemmy dying :/

I wish it were possible to block all users from an instance, I am sick of seeing alien.top spam as well.

Is alien.top automatically mirroring posts from reddit, along with their comments?

Not OP, but the hotter the tank the more effective capacity you get after mixing it. So if you want to run long showers/baths, higher temp makes sense. And as long as the tank is well insulated, the higher temp shouldnt make a huge difference long term, my water tank reaches temp and then turns off until its next used, its not frequently reheating.

Do you have a source for that claim? I power off my desktop contantly and have done so for years, and i have only replaced 1 CMOS battery ever. Which was for a 9 year old motherboard. So i am a bit skeptical.

You really need to narrow down what feature of cloudflare your talking about, they offer a lot of different services now.

Maybe direct access on the internet would be bad, but if its not somehow accessible remotely (vpn/authentication/etc) , doesnt it defeat the purpose of idrac? If you have to physically turn up at the data center you may as well just connect to the server directly?

Document. It doesnt matter what you use exactly, but document it. It will make recovery easier regardless of the underlaying server/software.

I am very happy with seafile, tried to.switch to nextcloud but found its performance to be lacking. Never worked out what was wrong, but nextcloud uploads were super slow

I boot my big server whenever i need it, everything else is 24/7. I have had no catastrophic failures in either for the last 2-3 years, so it seems to be fine?

I recently moved from gogs to gitlab. Mostly for the built in CI. Pretty happy with it. Install one, and try it for a bit, only way to know if it suits you. Its not too hard to switch between them if you have to transition later on, just git clone and repush to the new server.

That is an insane power bill even after your cuts. Do you have the option of solar? With your power usage you should pay it off super fast when your bills drop to near zero?

The first is doable, but requires fiddling with DNS. I am not sure how exactly to do it with dyndns, but with cloudflare i can just add new subdomains from their interface, its very easy. If you can stomach paying for a domain, it might be the easy way to do it.

To do the second one, you want to create a new proxy host, point the root at something (cant leave it blank, setting up a webserver with a list of hyperlinks might be nice), and then click Custom Locations, and add custom locations for each service you want.

I use Nginx Proxy Manager, with a cloudflare managed domain. I create subdomains for each service (service.example.com), and then only have to port forward 443.

The best thing you can do is to document your setup. You may be comfortable now, but if your router/server/whatever explodes in 3 years time, you be starting from scratch. The more doco you have the better. I am using silverbullet, but anything is better than nothing.

How are you sending the NAS to your friend? Strongly advise to avoid posting it, but either way, put as much vibration padding as you can. Harddisks can be affected/damaged by vibration and shocks, so you want to keep them as protected as possible.

The pi will pull the current it needs, the power supply doesnt push current into the pi. So no need for a resistor.

You can definitely do this, i did it for a pi connected to my 3d printer. You are wasting the 12V rails though, and some PSUs may not like it if the 12V is unused (YMMV).

When i did this, i got a lot of undervoltage warnings on the pi, but it otherwise worked fine.

Regardless of the storage medium, if you have one copy of your data, you have zero copies. SD cards are especially flakey, but all storage can fail.

You may be able to recover it with software (dont format the sd card, put it in a computer and try software like ddrescue), or paying a data recovery service.

Either way, you learnt a lesson today. If its important, have multiple copies. Burning your photos to DVDs or blurays and make sure there are duplicates (if not triplicates). Sorry for your loss.

My company treats it the other way, as in it looks like you have enthusiasm for the work. So could go either way?

And in this case, OP has literally no experience, it cant hurt? Really depends how it is written I guess

I could be wrong, but I believe SSDs need to be powered semi frequently in order to keep their state. If you dont plug it in for a few years you could have a blank disk.
