Not in my experience. I am running a docker container and it is one of +10 containers running on my server which is basically a laptop from a few years ago. So far no issues.

I’ve jumped around a few mobile apps since I joined the fediverse, right now the one that checks the most boxes for me is Raccoon for Lemmy

I am self hosting my version so that is where my screenshot came from.

If I were looking for a public instance to use that has this functionality, I’d look to some of the European hosts as they are less likely to use Reddit as their de facto platform relative to Americans

SearXNG has a the same functionality as well for free:

You can self-host it or use one of the publicly available instances.

I run Debian 12 and ran into similar issues trying to automount NFS, even down to having to use an alternative console to log in and undo f stab edits

My solution was simple and so hopefully it helps you as well. In fstab, the backslashes don’t cancel out spaces. Since my directory path had a space in it, that would break fstab:

Path/to/your/Video\ Files breaks fstab

Path/to/your/VideoFiles good

Yeah that’s a bit pricey for me. I might pay for one month a year or something like that…

I came across this type of comment a lot in the past and want to elaborate on this further for context.

Public instances draw a lot of eyeballs and the tech companies go after them. Private instances are less impactful and get left alone.

I really can’t overstate how miserable my video watching experience was becoming prior to self-hosting. I jumped from Piped -> Invidious -> PipedMaterial over the span of a few months as the best instances started to crap out. I used libredirect and regularly cycled through instances w/ the keyboard shortcut to find a easily watchable video.

Eventually, I bit the bullet and self-hosted a docker container of Invidious and it’s like night and day. Everything just works, and you can program libredirect so that it operates as if it were a public instance.

In my experience, a lot of public instances initially work perfectly, and then get targeted and hamstrung by big tech. I think of them less as solutions and more as demos to use until things get buggy. I have had the same experience w/ teddit and searxng.

Don’t have any stats but I do use tracker control. Having a Xiaomi tablet, I like that I can also extend functionality to system processes as well (at my own risk obviously).

Same. Slickdeals and forget it. The website is a bit of a privacy nightmare w/ inserted tracking/referral links for every deal though. I’ve stopped logging in entirely and just use it for emailed alerts.

One of us…

Was on it for a few months but jumped ship after bugs went unfixed. Can’t fault the owner personally. It’s a stressful, thankless job. Hope he finds happiness in 2024
