Another user posted the blog where they discuss their speedup techniques: https://tailscale.com/blog/more-throughput/

It's likely that the kernel version can use similar techniques to surpass the performance of the userspace version that tailscale uses, but no one has put in the work to to make the kernel implementation as sophisticated as the userspace one.

Like helping to find a bug, discussing about how to setup an application for a certain use case or anything like that? Answering questions on Stack overflow is an example but is that the best way?

Generally the best way to help out is to do a thing that's needed and that you can figure out how to do. Your list includes a bunch of good options, and I've been thanked for doing all those things at one point or another. Some common growth paths include:

  1. Using the software
  2. Encountering bugs, problems, or small opportunities for improvement.
  3. Discussing those informally in forums and helping people find workarounds.
  4. Identifying some of those issues as common things other things experience as well, so filing bugs for them with clear explanations and links to related forum discussions.
  5. Reading source code to better understand bugs.
  6. Discussing potential fixes in developer bug threads (or in GitHub or whatever).
  7. Submitting small fixes for simple bugs as pull requests.

Another path might be:

  1. Using the software and reading forums/docs for help.
  2. Answering basic questions on forums, looking to old threads and relevant docs.
  3. Learning about common questions.
  4. Writing blogs or forum posts about common questions.
  5. Submitting improvements to official docs to clarify common areas of confusion.

There are other paths as well, the main thing is to use a thing so you learn about it and then use that knowledge to make it a little easier for the next person. Good luck!

I had a look through the comments on this HN thread the other day and came away more intrigued by https://github.com/openobserve/openobserve than hyperdx. Hyperdx is built on top of clickhouse whereas open observe has it's own storage engines based on parquet files that can be accessed from local disk, S3, or a few other protocols.

I haven't tried either option yet... I'm, currently using netdata for metrics and don't do anything special for logs or tracing, but at tiny self-hosting scale I often find software with it's own storage engines (often sqlite) to be extra hassle-free. I'm curious to kick the tires on openobserve for that reason.

For the latest version of lemmy, hot sort works in the new fashion. There is a pull request with further implementation details linked in the GitHub issue.

Ah, fair enough. My response doesn't apply then.

You misunderstand what the Hot rank is doing. It's not balancing newness vs hotness, it's scaling hotness according to community size. This might feel like newness if you're focused on vote counts as a proxy for post age, but it's a different approach. See https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3622 for details.

There's a couple ways to think about this:

  1. There are a handful of Lemmy communities that are just WAY more active than everything else. The main feeds are kind of lame if you have to scroll 300 posts it to find anything other than a shit post from the same 3 communities. Scaled Hot rank shows a greater variety of communities by making it easier small communities to get ranked hotly.
  2. Or you can consider Hotness to be a rough measure of what percentage of people who have seen the post interacted with it. A post with 500 upvotes in a community with 10,000 active users is kind of popular, but only 5% of the people likely to have scrolled passed it cared about it. A post with 50 upvotes in a community with 200 active members is much MORE popular relatively even though the absolute numbers are smaller.

At any rate, this preference toward smaller communities in hot is a recent change and deliberate. While they might further tweak the scaling factors, I wouldn't expect it to be drastically different. It sounds to me like what you want is Top, Active, or Most Comments. All these are unscaled according to community size and will get you top posts by their absolute metric rather than posts that are doing well relative to their community size.

This is a very strong explanation of what's going on. And as a follow-up, I believe that ZeroTier present a single Ethernet broadcast domain, and so WoL tricks are more likely to work naturally there than with Wireguard. I haven't used ZeroTier, and I do use Wireguard via Tailscale/Headscale. I've never missed the Ethernet features of ZeroTier and they CAN result in a very chatty wan if you're not careful. But I think ZT would make this straightforward.

Though as other people note... the simplest/least-disruptive change is probably to expose some scripty thing on the rpi that can be triggered via be triggered over a routed protocol and then have the rpi emit the Ethernet broadcast packets from the physical network.

I don't think titles directly transfer between companies, and yet the industry allows it. It's a very useful tool for advancement.

This may be true on some corners of the industry, but at the more competitive end (both in terms of competitive pay, and a competitive pool of candidates)... I believe it's common to relevel on hire. I've seen folks go from director to senior and from senior to junior at my org. The candidates being offered those seemingly big "demotions" often seem to be somewhere between unphased and enthusiastic about the change, presumably because the compensation package we offer at the lower level beats what they were getting with an inflated title and because they know their inflated title is nonsense and they're frustrated with the other aspects of organizational dysfunction that accompany title inflation at their current company.

What you say is real, and sometimes a promotion in one org can help bridge you into an org that would have been hard to get hired into as a junior, or harder to get promoted in. It's not without risk though. All things being equal, I'd much rather spend my time working on a strong team and learning a lot and being challenged than to be in a weaker org that's handing out inflated titles. Getting gud isn't a guarantee of advancement, but it's at least as reliable over the long haul as title inflation.

I dunno how to hotlink, but if you scroll to the active users graph at https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy you can see there's been like a 25% dropoff in active users since the peak in July. Lemmy has still grown 50x since May, and it's much MUCH more active than it was then. But we've definitely crested a peak and not everyone who gave Lemmy a shot then is sticking around in a monthly basis.

This isn't necessarily bad. Lemmy is still young and has many rough edges, it wasn't realistic to win all the users that tried it on ease-of-use in a head to head with reddit. And Mastodon has had multiple growth waves interspersed with periods of declining usage, but with the spikes has grown ie remained stable overall. Early-stage commercial social media have big ups and downs in engagement and growth as well, and just like lemmy those ups and downs are often externally driven... when competitors mess up, when a big global news story hits, when a major sporting event happens... these can all be catalysts for one-time growth. It's not a straight line.

Time will tell what user level we stabilize at in the short-term and what events spur new growth, but it's normal to have a big expansion be followed by some degree of contraction.

With the refrigeration, which do you consider the canonical community to follow now? You mod both, right? Are you going to keep the bit posting to both?

Too late, you held our playoff chances in your hands... and you had to mess it up, didn't you.

For people asking for a way to run 2fa on jellyfin i have a solution. I will elaborate more if people are interested as not writing a guide for no reason. This method allows users to simply use their login credentials into the default jellyfin login page, and 1 second later your DUO app on your phone will buzz for a confirmation to sign-in. (meaning no redirects and this method 100% compatible with all clients)

install the LDAP plugin on jellyfin. install Authentik in your server with docker. create a DUO security account. in short, jellyfin query's your Authentik LDAP server for ther user login, then LDAP will query DUO.

Unfortunately, DUO only allows 10 users with the free account, then you have to pay extra. of course with this method you are not bound to only use DUO, you could you a web-auth with your phones bio-metrics to sign-in instead of DUO. there are many ways you could query the users phone through Authentik, but DUO is the most continent.

Hi guys! How do you sort this series so it shows properly on Jellyfin? It's a bit messy on my system. If I leave it as Sonarr downloads it, as in: The Haunting -Season 1 -Season 2

Then Jellyfin will show episodes of second season as if they're all part of Season 1, just duplicated. Of course if you play them you will watch the second season episodes, but they're in the order as in S01E01 (shows as such), S02E01 (shows again as S01E01), S01E02 (correct), S02E02 (showing as S01E01)...and so on.

I just tried renaming them as: -The Haunting on Hill House -The Haunting on Bly Manor This fixes the S01, as it shows everything as it should (well, in the subfolder Season 1 on Jellyfin, but that's fair I guess). However for Bly Manor it reads it as if it's again episodes of the Hill House. What am I doing wrong, and how can I sort this mess? Ideally in a manner that Sonarr also catches it, so it won't try to re-download everything if I don't pay attention, as this second method doesn't seem to agree with Sonarr (as it's expecting everything under the same single folder).

Thanks!

Hey Vaultwarden users... I was turned on to Vaultwarden by this community and have a new installation up and running. I've recently imported a pretty substantial keeypass DB and have been manually validating the import and tidying up my folder organization as I go, including selectively moving some credentials to an organization with the future intention of adding family members to that org to access shared accounts.

By and large it's all going swimmingly with one concerning exception. Every now and again, a bunch of credentials forget their folder and get moved into "no folder".

  • I don't have a reliable reproduction yet, but it seems vaguely correlated with bulk moves. In the web-ui, I'll check a bunch of entries to move from my vault to the org, and OTHER entries I didn't touch get moved to "no folder" in my vault as a side-effect.
  • Once I had a folder disappear like this as well
  • I think I understand the basics around how collections, folders, and nesting of those containers work. I'm fairly confident that I'm not getting tripped up by just failing to understand the implications of the operation I'm doing.
  • I'm using sqlite for my db backend. I'm perfectly comfortable running a Postgres instance, I just thought the no-maintenance and no-dependencies approach of sqlite felt like a good match for this tiny but critical dataset. Could it be that the sqlite backend is under baked and I"m hitting some persistence bug?
  • Fwiw I've also seen issues where I get an encryption key error saving an entry or I see tons of missing entries.In each case logging out and logging in works around the issue. I had assumed this was browser/web buglets, but now I wonder if it's more signs of storage layer problems.

Have others seen similar issues? What db backend are you using?

I don’t see many Sci-Fi battlemaps being posted so I thought I would help out a little bit. I have been running 2 sci-fi rpgs concurrently for 3 years and have amassed quite a few decent maps that I have made in DungeonDraft. They are nothing special, but considering how rare sci-fi maps can be, I hope someone finds them helpful. These were all made for 40k or SWN but feel free to use them wherever. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ewe4a3qi083phftrz4f0r/h?rlkey=76c1aogifucbbds47u8fms7eh&dl=0

Getting GPU acceleration working is a common task for those of us running Plex or Jellyfin. There is not much documentation for getting the NVIDIA container stack to work with Podman, even less on Gentoo, plus there have been a lot of changes to NVIDIA's container toolkit lately.

I have been fighting with Podman for a while now and just recently got it working 1:1 with my Docker setup. Gentoo may not be the most popular or easy to use distro but I documented it in case some poor soul runs across it searching the web.

Feel free to poke holes in it or leave feedback.
