What’s your RSS solutions? - Lemmy.World
I am trying to move away from social media this year, read more news to stay
informed and self-host more services. So I figured RSS is the best path forward,
but I’m struggling to find a good configuration for my needs, so I thought I’d
start a discussion. Also open to any feed recommendations. I started with
Hoarder, which I’m enjoying, but it feels like a solution best used for saving
sites/images for reference and not day to day reading. Installed FreshRSS
yesterday and absolutely loving it, the web interface is really nice. But I’ve
not found an iOS app I like, I’ve got NetNewsWire installed, but it doesn’t seem
to acknowledge the Visibility setting in FeshRSS. Which is my favorite setting,
I’d like to have some feeds excluded from the main feed (BBC News or DEV.to
[http://DEV.to] for example). Maybe there is another way to achieve this with
FreshRSS and NetNewsWire. Any FreshRSS tips? How do you do RSS personally and
any iOS app recommendations? Also any favorite feeds, I’ve currently got
Hackaday, Hacker News, Ars Technica and self.st [http://self.st]. I’d like more
coding and 3D suggestions, but I’m open to anything.
VLAN/Firewall articles/videos for N00BS?

VLAN/Firewall articles/videos for N00BS? - Lemmy.World
Hey everyone! I just ordered a Flint 2 to replace a TP-Link AX3000 (keeping as a
backup) primarily for the faster WG VPN, to try an open source OS and try to
segment my network for security and to manage devices easier. But I’m feeling a
tad overwhelmed trying to do research. I’ve got a background in IT, so I’m not
concerned with flashing firmware or SSH. But networking concepts always take a
minute to sink in. Current situation - AX3000 is connected to 1G Fios -
Unmanaged 1G Netgear switch at entertainment center (TV, PS5, Apple TV, Hue Hub)
- Poorly daisy chained unmanaged Cisco 1G switch at my desk with my server
(Proxmox on old Mac Mini), PiHole Pi and Mac Studio - 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz with Hue
bulbs, iPhones, Steam Deck etc - Slow WG VPN on AX3000 The dream - OpenWRT (open
source OS router) which hopefully the Flint 2 works out - 1G managed switch at
entertainment center - 2.5G (or 10G supposedly because I can’t find prosumer
2.5G options) managed switch at my desk - Build a NAS (Node 304) to replace the
Mac Mini hardware, make sure it has a 2.5G/10G NIC so my Studio to NAS
connection is fast - VLAN and Firewall rules to separate IoT, servers, personal
devices and ensure everything is secure but also ensure the correct devices can
talk to each other (phone turn on lights, HomePod accessible from iPad) - WG VPN
where I can access all of these VLANs and manage my services (something I can’t
seem to figure out on the AX3000) - Also fix my wiring to my bedroom so the
switches aren’t daisy chained, it’s a tiny rented NYC apartment Questions - Any
recommendations for articles, videos or forums/communities with tutorials for
OpenWRT VLAN/Firewall setup similar to my goals? Anything specific to the Flint
2? - Tips or guidance on how to divide my network appropriately and still allow
communication between devices? - Switch suggestions that you know will work well
with the Flint 2? Also thoughts on the 2.5G vs 10G situation, spent ages looking
at expensive switches and got window shopping fatigue - What am I missing or
forgetting about? Finally, if this is not the appropriate place to post this,
please provide suggested communities. I went back to the community that shall
not be named because I was struggling to find comparable Lemmy communities. Oh
boy was that a depressing experience and I really want to build out what I used
to have on Reddit in Lemmy, but I can’t find active alternatives. Thank you in
advance to anyone that read this far 😊
Homelab hardware recommendations

Homelab hardware recommendations - Lemmy.World
Right now I’m running a Late 2012 Mac mini (8 x Intel Core i7-3615QM CPU @
2.30GHz) with a 1TB SSD, a 4TB external USB HDD and 16GB of RAM. It runs Proxmox
with a VM running Docker (just Transmission-OpenVPN container right now), a VM
for a Debian VS Code tunnel and a LXC container for Plex. I also have a Pi3B
running PiHole and I use a Mac Studio for my personal computer (500GB SSD). I’m
using Fios for a 1G fiber connection, a TP-Link router (AX3000) and two daisy
chained 1G unmanaged switches (unfortunate scenario due to my small apartment),
1 near my entertainment center (Apple TV, PS5 etc) and another near my desk and
the Mini/Studio/Pi. I’d like to build a NAS server which I could also use for
these services. Priorities being 4K transcoding capabilities and the drives for
a NAS. I would also like to set up a WireGuard VPN so I can use VNC to my Mac
and access home services when I’m away, this is done with the TP-Link router
right now. Right now I can’t decide between Intel or AMD for the CPU, buying
something new to future proof or buying some older used office hardware and what
I should prioritize (server or network)? Currently I’ve got a mix of personal
data in Dropbox and iCloud Drive, I’ll likely consolidate it all to iCloud and
eventually my NAS and have the NAS data backed up to Backblaze as well. I’d also
like to backup my Studio to multiple Time Machine backups and have them in
multiple locations. My media is currently all on the external drive and nothing
is super valuable, just TV and movies (removes eye patch). I’m trying to learn
Linux and some web development (mostly three.js) so I’ll setup a new VM,
probably NixOS moving forward, specifically for coding and web dev learning. I’m
looking for hardware recommendations for the Proxmox NAS server and also
networking equipment? I’d like to move off the TP-Link hardware and use
something open source. Also any suggestions for other services to run or
considerations I may have missed. For example monitoring, how to manage
users/access like SSH, where to buy hardware, home services you can’t live
without etc. I know this is a broad AF post, but figured it could trigger some
good discussions!
Dell U2723QE glare, experience with BenQ ScreenBar Halo?

Dell U2723QE glare, experience with BenQ ScreenBar Halo? - Lemmy.World
Anyone got any experience with the Dell U2723QE and using a BenQ ScreenBar Halo?
My situation, I’m in a small apartment and my standing desk is in my bedroom.
Due to the size, layout and cabling availability, I’m directly opposite an East
facing window. I love this monitor, but the glare is atrocious! Even with the
curtains closed, the bedroom light will create a patch of glare. Will the
ScreenBar actually help in this situation?

Thoughts and feelings on AOOSTAR WTR PRO AMD Ryzen 7 5825u hardware? - Lemmy.World
I’m looking to replace a 2013 Mac Mini running Proxmox. Just curious if anyone
has one of these or anyone heard of any negatives about them? Watched a bunch of
videos and outside of a lack of 10G Ethernet, it seems to be well received!
PS5 FPS preferences - Lemmy.World
Was coming seriously close to buying Black Ops this weekend because I’m missing
a quick grindy “run and gun” FPS. Although I occasionally play Warzone (and
enjoy it) with my BIL, I hate to give Activision Blizzard my money and try to
avoid any of the skins, battle passes etc. Looking for a good/fun multiplayer
FPS, I’m curious what the community is playing. I’m on PS5 and Steam Deck (Mac
OS but no Windows) and I’ve taken a break from Helldivers 2 and been back into
NMS. Intrigued by Apex Legends, The Finals looked cool but it doesn’t look like
it’ll survive.
Macro pad suggestions - Lemmy.World
I rock a 60% which I love, but I’m learning blender and coding, lack of numpad
has gotten frustrating. Anyone got any macro pad suggestions either available
now or in GB/IC? Preferably a hot swap! Open to different sizes and formats. Was
tempted by the Piketea standing desk mounted macro pad, but they appear to be
sold out.
What do you use to light your bowl?

What do you use to light your bowl? - Lemmy.World
I’ve been trying to be a little more responsible with plastics and reducing
waste. I’ve been using hemp wick with a lighter case called a Hemplight
[https://hemplights.com/] which I’ve enjoyed. I used the BIC ones and then moved
to Clipper so I could refill it. I’m going to sound old, but I don’t remember
Clippers having the hexagonal spark wheel. I’ve tried to stay on top of butane
and flint, but they are so difficult to light any they’ve been used for a while,
got to a point where I got a callous on my index finger trying to get that shit
to light. Picked up a button ignition one
[https://clipperus.com/collections/mini-tube], with a longer ignition (candle
lighter like) and it’s a pain in the ass to use with the hemp wick, finger just
slipped and sliced open on the plastic button 😐 trying to determine if the Jet
Flame [https://clipperus.com/collections/electronic-jet-flame] ones will fit the
hemplight case. All of this to say… how does the community light up your flower?
I primarily use a bong, I’d like to use the hemp wick still and it needs to be
easy to put out. Do you see any value in using hemp wick versus direct flame
from butane? Any suggestions and general discussion appreciated! P.S. not an ad
for Clipper or Hemplight, if anything I’m not recommending them. Also I know dry
herb vaping is better for me, for some reason my body reacts badly to vaping.
I’ve tried multiple vapes, always messes my mouth up unfortunately.
Need a game for a flight - Lemmy.World
Flying to Greece this weekend and it’s my first flight with my OG Steam Deck.
Got Balatro, Vampire Survivors and Chrono Trigger (first play through) loaded
up, might also play some RimWorld if I can handle the controls. I’m tempted by
Hades while it’s on sale and I love Dunkey, so Animal Well is also tempting.
What suggestions can y’all make?
