I certainly can become a problem. Reaching back to Digg, MrBabyMan had way too much power and influence, even though he basically just spammed news articles 24/7. Thankfully, the threadiverse doesn’t seem to be designed to promote people over content.

More like the other way around. The INDX was announce a while back. This is the first we are hearing about the CoreOne with it, but it really felt designed for it, there is a bar perfectly in place to work for the INDX.

Another worth while consideration is heat generation. That takes more power to offset that too. During the winter maybe it wont be so bad, but it can be brutal in the summer.

Wasabi is a very affordable destination for backups. And it has the advantage of not being one of the big three.

And their tools used to assist genocide.

I’ll go to the magazine isle of Walmart with a pen and paper like a normal person, thank you very much.

I’m really glad to see quadlets taking off. I’ve been playing with them myself and really happy with the results. They pair well with ansible. Letting you write your quadlet files in a way that makes them highly portable.

I haven’t gotten too far, but right now I’ve got persistent volumes being pushed by NFS from my NAS. I’m using rocky Linux VMs as my target, but for this use case, Fedora CoreOS should be the same.

I haven’t yet tried using Ansible to create the VMs, but that would be cool. I know teraform is designed for that sort of thing, but if Ansible can do it, all the better. I’d love to get to a point where my entire stack as Ansible.

I don’t yet have Ansible restarting the service, but that should be a simple as adding a few new tasks after the daemon-reload task. What I don’t know how to do is tell it to only restart if there is change to any of the config files uploaded. That would be nice to minimize service restarts.

Here is a redhat blog about it: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/quadlet-podman

This docs page has more details: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/10/html/building_running_and_managing_containers/porting-containers-to-systemd-using-podman

And last, this page shows most of the options you’d expect to find: https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-systemd.unit.5.html

Unfortunately not. I found documentation largely lacking. I mostly read the docs and searched specific questions that came up(which often just took me back to the docs). I did as a local LLM for help, but found it’s knowledge base lacking. Sometimes it would work for a hint, but it more often than not made up parameters and features.

I spent some time last week learning both Ansible and Podman Quadlets. They are a powerful duo, especially for self hosting.

Ansible is a desired state system for Linux. Letting you define a list of servers and what their configuration should be, like “have podman installed” and “have this file at this location with this content”.

Podman quadlets is a system for defining podman containers as a service. You define the container, volumes, and networks all in essentially Systemd unit files.

Mixing the two together, I can have my entire podman setup in a format that can be pushed to any server in seconds.

And of course everything is text files that git well.

I had a similar problem with Lemmy.one. It was the push I needed to move over to Piefed, and I’m glad I did.

But someone has to be the smarted in the world, who are you to say it isn’t me? /s

Being Linux, if you were really motivated, you could probably write a shim service that converted CEC to basic input that it does support, or someone out there probably already has.

You are probably correct that the firewall is the culprit. Good suggestion.

I realize disabling the firewall for testing is OK, but I recommend looking up what it takes to open the ports or app in the firewall instead. I’ve spent my whole career running into and fixing instances where techs disabled firewalls for “testing” and never re-enabled them.

As others have mentioned, the websites tend to be limited both by resolution and functionality.

My TV supports CEC(most do these days) which will pass the remote input onto the devices connected to it, like a computer. Which means with Plasma Big Picture I can navigate with my remote, and any app that supports navigation with simple arrow key input would work great.

Unfortunately, the streaming websites, last time I tried, absolutely suck at that and assume you are navigating with a mouse.

Glad to see it being picked back up. I tried it previously and I really didn’t like it. It felt half baked. The new version looks like a substantial improvement. Now if only every streaming app didn’t lock their services behind DRM and mobile apps.

I jumped in and had a look around. I’d recommend making a welcome area around where the new player spawn is. A little lighting and a few signs for the rules would be helpful.

That bully sure is nice, he did a great job cleaning up my nose bleed from when he punched me in the face!

Interstellar is what I’m using. Generally usuable, but certainly doesn’t understand the things that make PieFed special. With so many of the major Lemmy instances spooling up secondary piefed instances, it means it is probably only a matter of time before this issue is resolved.
