I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in Linux, FOSS, technology, and several other subjects.

  • No, most sites have a button stashed in some submenu of the account page that allows you to request your data. It’s either a legal requirement of the GDPR or they just don’t want to deals with individual email requests, I’m not exactly sure.

    It usually does take a lot of time for the request to be “processed”, you usually get an email with a zip archive after about a week. I’m not sure if that’s malicious compliance.

    You can also send a GDPR request to have them delete all your data, but they do have 1 month to comply and in my experience most services do take that long to “process” your request.

    Keep in mind that many services hide these options for non-EU citizens.

    There are several options:

    • Create a systemd service

    +: Can launch application without logging in

    -: Requires learning how to add a systemd service

    • Autostart application on startup

    +: Easy

    -: Requires logging in before it starts

    • Use system Docker container

    +: Quite easy

    -: Works without logging in

    • Use Podman container with systemd-service

    +: Doesn’t require root permissions

    I recommend going with Docker because Flatpak isn’t really meant for server applications.



  • A few days ago I needed to download some transactions from a bank’s site. However, it kept giving “Something went wrong”. I called support and they told me I needed to use chrome. I did and surprisingly enough it actually worked. I did try Firefox less than a minute after that and it was still broken, so it wasn’t just a back-end issue that was resolved while logging on on Chrome. I still have no clue how it’s possible to create a download button that can break on Firefox.

    The N100 only has 9 gen 3 PCI lanes. The board has 4 USB ports (2 x 3.0), 4 2.5G ethernet ports, 2 m.2 slots and 6 SATA connections. They might be using a PCI splitter chip to connect all components, which depending on the type and how it’s used could have a big effect on I/O performance.

    EDIT: The N5015 from your previous board only has 8 lanes. What was your max read/write speed on it and did you see anything strange in lspci?



  • You can get a cheap domain (~8 digit .xyz is 0.80$/y) and use cloudflare tunnels. You won’t have to expose your home network and the setup is really easy. You will be dependent on Cloudflare but I feel they’re fairly reliable.

    1. Create a cloudflare account
    2. Buy a .xyz domain (on for example Namecheap) consisting of only digits, it should cost less than a dollar a year of you have the right amount of digits.
    3. Set your domain to the Cloudflare DNS server. (You can find instructions on Cloudflare for this).
    4. Go to zero trust and create a tunnel. This allows you to share traffic from your local device on your domain in the next step. (It shows instructions on how to install it on your server)
    5. Add public hostname and create a subdomain for jellyfish and point it to localhost:JELLYFIN_PORT.

    Note: You can also do this for other services you host but I recommend using a VPN to connect to your device / home network instead because it does not require exposing it to the internet.
