Self Hosted Remote Storage - Lemmy.world
I would like to stand up some self hosted applications that need a significant
amount of storage behind them. I’m thinking pixelfed/immich and peertube for
now. The intention is to provide a place for my family to store and share photos
and videos in an easily accessible place. I would also like to load it up with a
long history of media we’ve already accumulated, adding up to about 1TB. I would
prefer to host the front end application on a VPS so that I’m not having to rely
on my home ISP to serve everything (blocking standard ports and such). However,
I want to use the storage I have available at home. Bandwidth is not an issue
(500Mbs synchronous). I know these applications can be set up to use object
storage from various providers. Has anyone set up self hosted object storage? If
so, any recommendations? Another option may be to create an IPSec tunnel or
something between the VPN and the home storage to provide file-level access.
Perhaps that would perform better? I don’t really want to pay a fat monthly fee
for storage when I already have everything stored at home, but I don’t want to
host the applications directly from home either. Thinking others have already
solved this. Thanks for your input!
AITA for telling my kids about my wife's cheating?

AITA for telling my kids about my wife's cheating? - Lemmy.world
A couple of years ago I discovered my wife of 25 years was having an affair. I
kicked her out and told her to go be with him (maybe that’s another AITA
question). She asked what I would tell the kids, who at the time were 20 and 17
years old. I said I was going to tell them the truth. She pleaded, “please don’t
tell the kids.” I said, “if you’re worried about what I’m going to say, you can
tell them yourself.” And so she did. Pretty much right there and then, she told
them the truth, packed up some things and left. Ever since she has felt that it
was wrong for me to make her tell the kids, or to tell them at all. From her
perspective it’s none of their business. All they needed to know is that things
broke down between us and we split up. They didn’t have a right to know why.
It’s changed who she is in their minds, and it clearly has an impact on her
relationship with them. They live with me, and mostly would rather not bother to
see her anymore. They stay in touch with her and do things with her, but it’s
clearly out of obligation (at least it’s clear to me) I can imagine how
completely crushing it must feel to know that your kids don’t want much to do
with you. I feel bad for her, I really do. Yet, I believe the kids have a right
to know why their lives were suddenly and completely changed out of the blue. Am
I wrong?
Shouldn't all the instances show the same community content?

Shouldn't all the instances show the same community content? - Lemmy.world
I’m learning about the Fediverse and am confused about how federation is
supposed to work. I understand that there can be communities with the same name
in different instances, with different content. But I also understand you can
subscribe to another instance’s community. For example, there are sysadmin
commnunities at lemmy.world, lemmy.one, and beehaw.org [http://beehaw.org]
(among others). If we focus on one specific community, let’s say
[email protected], we can find that community from any of the instances. If I
go to each instance and look at [email protected] from each one, I can see
the same pinned post is at the top of each one instance’s view (“Calling all
/r/sysadmin reddit refugees!” by DarraignTheSane). Great! However, if I look at
that pinned thread from each of the three instances, the comment stream is
different. The post itself is the same, but the comment thread is a mixed bag.
Some comments seem to appear in multiple instances while others only in one or
two, but never all three lemmy.world shows 11 comments lemmy.one shows 6
comments beehaw.org [http://beehaw.org] shows 4 comments On lemmy.world, the
second newest comment says “Nice! It feels like home.” This comment also shows
up on lemmy.one however not on beehaw The newest comment on lemmy.world says
“yeeey” but doesn’t appear in any other instance’s view of [email protected]
This is just one specific example. Are you not supposed to get the same content,
when looking at the same community, regardless of what instance you are logged
into when viewing it? Or am I missing something?
