WHY WOULD YOU MAKE THAT SILLY ASSUMPTION, FELLOW HUMAN?

Movies, TV, porn. That’s what I started with anyway…

20 up isn’t terrible; I made do with 10 for 8 years, and that included hosting said movies and shows to friends.

Yeah, 3k hours is nothing. I’m an edge case, but I am on my computer most waking hours, and gaming most of the time. I have something like 5.5k hours of game time in Forza Horizon 5, which just turned 4 years old; I have several other games I play heavily too, like 900 hours of American Truck Sim in the last 2 years.

I’m in the ‘wait for prices to keep dropping’ boat, and my current monitor is fine other than ‘just’ being a ips lcd instead of oled or whatever else. But at that time frame, I’d be buying new units like every 2 years. That’s fucking insane. I expect like a decade of issue-free use from a monitor.

Oh yeah baby, give me those tight permissions uwu

I used to have a nest doorbell. You can set it to record continuously, just FYI.

E: that will also require a subscription, which includes 60 days of saved footage (and other stuff)

Me, disabled and using smart tech to improve a shitty situation, while reading your total lack of understanding or imagination of anyone’s situation but themselves: 🙄

So you’re offering to manage my ~40 services, and make sure that all the dependencies are met - and none conflict…?

I mean, I enjoy hosting things myself, but I’m not going to invite issues that have been resolved by simple solutions. I’ve been around the block with dependency hell, fuck all of that. Now if I was getting paid like 6 figures instead of zero, sure boss, whatever the fuck you say boss, job security all day long. But unless you’re offering, I’m sticking with the easy way.

I don’t see any options or mention of changing instances, beyond discord canary and public testing…? I might be blind

It’s been around a few years. I investigated it last year. It had a name change some times ago.

I can’t vouch for the code quality, but it’s too old to be slop.

I set this container up yesterday. Technically it’s running. But all the settings are in the fucking sql db, and I know fuck all about sql other than drop tables is funny meme from xkcd. But also, ignoring the settings, I would like to point out that there is effectively no client. I mean, there are two official ones - the depreciated one, and the alpha one, and the alpha one has a total of 4 releases with the newest being two years ago. How do you deprecate a client when the server is still in alpha? What the fuck? And on all pages it screams ‘this is alpha testing software, do not use as a daily’. Also the docs are, uhh… rough. If rough was falling 4 stories inti a bed of poisonous cacti. It took me 3 hours to get the container running properly and finally poking at the db. It’s as organized as my bedroom (‘it’s somewhere in this dresser, I think…’).

The idea, the potential is brilliant. Literally everything about getting it working though…

I’ve read that Stoat is bad for self-hosting, something about calls/video broadcasting not being part of the docker image, and needing to compile from source with every update?

I spent most of my day searching, spinning up containers, and discussing with friends and users on my discord ‘server’ about what to do. I burned out after a few hours of frustration. I had Mumble up and running a year ago but that was a bit too techy for new users, and it’s not really the ‘community’ feature set that I’d want…

Actually, he is a cat. I am a wolf.
