Might be because the average Linux user is way more aware of how useful a crash report can be and therefore actually submitted them. At least most Linux users I know actually read error/ crash messages and not just call someone saying there was some pop-up, I just clicked ok and the game was gone.

The first time federation is a bit slow in the beginning.

Since I don't know any better place to ask and I also setup my instance on Hetzner maybe some of you could provide me with some input regarding federation. I'm able to search new communities; the way I'm doing it right now is by searching for their handler (this !comunnityName@InstanceName thing) on my instance. For some reason if I haven't searched for the community before no search results show up but I can switch to the community all list and see the community there. After subscribing to a community everything works nicely, I see posts, comments everything. But my main question is, if there is a way to federate a server (e.g. lemmy.ml) in a way that I can just click on communities on my server and see every community on the federated servers without having to manually search them first?

This is something that I wasn't able to grasp from reading the lemmy docs and also didn't found a satisfying answer to when googleing.

By default they block ports 25 and 465 afaik you can request getting them unblocked after you paid your first invoice and your account is at least one month old. For some reason they aren't blocking port 587 so you could connect to your mail server via that port if you don't want to wait for the first month to be over using starttls and after a month switch to 465 with normal tls. And as @mrmanager@lemmy.today already mentioned you shouldn't use port 25 since you'd be sending your mails unencrypted.

That calls for a c/suicidebywords :D

 
 

Hi guys, would be happy to receive some input on my current problem. I spun up my own Lemmy instance yesterday using the ansible playbook on newly set up VPS with it's own IPv4. Since I also had an unused domain I choose to use it exclusively for Lemmy. I therefore set the domain in the hosts file to exactly that one. I created the follwing DNS entries in Cloudflare for it:

  • A Record with name www pointing towards the ip
  • A CName pointing the domain without subdomain towards the www.subdomain.de thing

Both without a activating their proxies. As soon as I'm activating their proxies my instances becomes unreachable and if I'm calling www.my-domain.de I'm seeing an Nginx error page. Is there a smart way anyone of you knows how I could setup my dns records in a way that I'm able to use Cloudflare proxies to kinda encapsulate my vps a bit more?

EDIT: I got it solved, first on, I was most probably an idiot when setting the SSL settings. I could be possible that I changed them for the wrong domain. So in the end I did two things. First on I changed the CNAME thing into another A record pointing directly towards the server ip. I suspect this was not the root cause. Because after changing the DNS settings I discovered that again the SSL settings were set to Flexible this is basically a setting where Cloudflare assumes you are somehow unable to get your own SSL certificate on your server and therefore only the traffic between the users browser and them is encrypted but the traffic towards your server is not. That was most probably the main reason since this should cause an infinite forwarding of Cloudflare trying http but my server was redirecting them to https (for more info see here). I set it to Full (strict) meaning now all the traffic is encrypted using my certificate.

After both changes it works now, and when pinging the url some random Cloudflare IP shows up and "my" ip is hidden.

Old DNS settings: Old DNS settings

New DNS settings: New DNS settings

Hi, I hope it's okay to ask for recommendations on this sub, if not please just delete my post, or lock it down.

So back to the topic, I came here to ask if anyone could recommend me keyboard. I'm a software dev working 100% from home, therefore the keyboard I'm looking for is mainly used for work related stuff. Outside of work I'll also mainly do browsing, some office stuff and a bit of leisure coding. Gaming is (sadly) nothing I'm doing anymore beside maybe the single day once a year were I'm playing a few hours of factorio or something alike.

Currently I'm mainly using a Logitech MX Keys since my girlfriend got stressed by the sound of my beloved Corsair K70 with blue clicky switches. Since she's not working from home anymore I'm able to go back to a mechanical keyboard. I would like to switch to one of those fancy split keyboard things since their ergonomics actually seems to be way better then the one of a classical keyboard. I'd also like it to be wireless since I reorganized my desk and actually managed to get a nice cable free desk. Thing is, when I was looking around I found some wireless ergonomic keyboards but most of them were no real split keyboards and almost all of them had rubber domes and no mechanical switches. The mechanical ones I found were all cabled bound and for some reason also incredibly expansive. E.g. I'd really liked the Moonlander thing but it's already at close to 400 euros, I also liked the ultimate hacking keyboard even more, since one is able to attach a small trackball to it but it's also cable bound and incl. vat and shipping to Germany it's above 600 euros...

So to sum it up, I'd be really thankful if anyone of you has some suggestion for a nice mechanical wireless split keyboard.

Thanks

In case you get it working it would be really cool if you cold post you config somewhere. Maybe the main dev could even integrated it in the docu at some point. I'm quite sure there are more people who set up there home servers using traefik and that there is an intersection between them and people who consider starting a lemmy instance.

E.g. I would really like to ditch the VPS I'm currently using for my instance and run it on my home server since there are free resources and I would have to spend the 5 euros for the VPS.

Do we already have a Lemmy community for LinkedInLunatics?

[–] ture@rational-racoon.de 1 points 1 year ago

Not only presenting a solution that is impossible to build but telling the potential customers it's already there and just needs small adjustments to fit their needs. YoU cAn Do It In OnE wEeK, rIgHt? JuSt AsK cHaTgPt

Tbh I rather see some more of them if that also means that people are actually migrating, then not seeing any of them but noone is/ less are migrating anymore.

I have to admit I was a bit lazy and started with a new vm when setting up my instance earlier today but I found this thread in the traefik community where someone was asking question on how to setup their traefik config for Lemmy. It's a bit old, last post is from spring of 2020 but it's already traefik v2, so hopefully not much changed since then...

EDIT: By being lazy and starting with a new VM, I meant that I could just use the Ansible playbook and had it running in a few minutes.

If one was still browsing reddit using rif and seldomly old reddit it somehow still felt similar to what it was 10 or more years ago. Over time I ditched Facebook and some other social media I used but Reddit somehow stayed. Maybe because it was the "anonymous" one, the one I just used for myself without sharing my account with my real-life friends.

Anyway thanks for waiting for us, took some time for me to get up and leave reddit. I hope others will follow, but so far even for me as a software dev/ architect it was quite a change to switch to fediverse services. Maybe it'll be smoother when you're joining bigger servers but let's see what the future brings. As a fan of Foss I'd really like to see this thing grow.
