yogthos, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

I find working out to be an intensely boring experience. I ended up doing martial arts to stay fit because the work out ends up being incidental and the activity itself is engaging. I recommend trying something like judo or boxing depending on whether you would be more comfortable with grappling or striking.

infotainment, in Hey Lemmy, what are some good public domain books?
@infotainment@lemmy.world avatar

I definitely recommend Dracula — not only is it good, but it’s also the prototype for basically every subsequent vampire book/movie:

rarely, in What password manager do you recommend?

Bitwarden, self hosted.

Christopher,

+1 for Bitwarden here. One day I will go down the self-hosted route.

I have the server, just dont trust myself enough to cut the cord from BW servers.

I’ve put Vaultwarden online and have configured it to backup over the network through duplicity. Updates are automatic (I have a cronjob that just does docker pull/stop/rm/run without checking the error codes). No downtime so far!

It’s been a while since I’ve used the official Bitwarden server, but Vaultwarden is pretty much foolproof. It’s one of the easiest programs to self-host that I’ve come across.

Ah, you like living on the edge 😛

I don’t trust automated Docker updates… There can be breaking changes between versions. I don’t want my Docker containers to automatically break themselves :D

@skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl avatar

It’s a testament to Vaultwarden’s update policies, not to my amazing server practices!

You’re right that this is a terrible idea and it will inevitably bite me in the ass, but keeping up to date with a dozen of self hosted services is a faff and I’ll accept the 15 minutes of docker fuckery to revert the updates if it means I don’t need to remind myself to perform server maintenance.

arensb,

Yeah, there’s a lot to be said for letting the hosting be done by people who know what they’re doing.

speaker_hat,

If I may, what are the requirements to make it self hosted?

Look up “Vaultwarden”

skullgiver,
@skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl avatar

The official Bitwarden server: 2-4GB of RAM, mostly because of the SQL server and all of the separate containers. Probably at least two CPU cores to prevent one process from lagging everything out. 12-24GB of storage.

For Vaultwarden, the Rust reimplementation of the backend server: I don’t know, about 128MB of RAM? It’s using about 40MB of RAM on my server. It’s using about a minute of CPU time per hour for my install. Storage requirements are “the size of the docker container plus some database files”.

Both: a TLS certificate (Let’s Encrypt) and as much free space as you plan on sending through their encrypted file sharing service. Also the storage and configuration for your automated backups, of course.

Vaultwarden isn’t audited and it takes longer to get all of the features because it’s a hobby project and not an enterprise company. Bitwarden is set up to easily scale to whole company/whole enterprise usage. Vaultwarden is set up for “you and your family” scale which probably works fine for larger scales but I don’t think it’s set up for it out of the box.

@skullgiver @speaker_hat I'm considering spinning up a VW server right now. Thanks for laying out the reqs!

speaker_hat,

How do you make the sever available via the Internet? Do you host it on a cloud provider (e.g. AWS EC2)? or do you self host on your own bare metal machine?

skullgiver,
@skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl avatar

You can just open a port in the firewall/port forward a local server if your home ISP isn’t shit. If it is shit, you can run it in the cloud somewhere. I wouldn’t go with Amazon, they’re terribly expensive for hobby projects (who needs multi zone failover for a personal hobby project), any $5 VPS provider will do. Just make sure to install updates automatically so you don’t need to keep a close eye on maintenance and you should be golden.

Alternatively, if you don’t want to expose your server to the internet, you can set up a VPN server on your cloud server and only expose the password manager to your VPN. Wireguard is relatively simple to set up for this purpose, but tailscale (and whatever the self-hosted tailscale server is called) makes things even easier.

dan,
@dan@upvote.au avatar

any $5 VPS provider will do.

A cheap <$20/year VPS is sufficient to host Vaultwarden. No need to spend several times that. My Vaultwarden installation is only using 120MB RAM, so a 1GB RAM VPS would be more than sufficient. Take a look at RackNerd, HostHatch, GreenCloudVPS, and the other top providers on LowEndTalk. RackNerd’s latest sale has a VPS plan with 1GB RAM and 14GB SSD storage for $11.38/year: lowendtalk.com/…/boom-boom-4th-of-july-deals-come…, but I’d personally go with the 4GB RAM and 75GB disk for $47.88/year, since self-hosting is addictive and you’ll find plenty of other stuff you want to host.

(I’m not affiliated with any of these companies)

skullgiver,
@skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl avatar

I would trust the absolute bottom of the barrel services with unimportant things like blogs, but I don’t want my password manager to be hosted there. It just feels too sketchy to me.

dan,
@dan@upvote.au avatar

Given the prices of these VPSes, you could get two or three with different providers and have a warm standby in case of any issues.

RackNerd is legit though - a real company with a physical office. I’ve had some VPSes with them in the past, and only got rid of them because I wanted to consolidate a few things.

DLSchichtl, in What movie scared you shitless when you were a child?

Tremors and Maximum Overdrive 🤡

Zeeber,

I came here looking for Tremors. I was scared of the floor for weeks lol. Now it’s one of my favorite B movies (and the sequels up through 3; Burt is just too good of a character)

Although like everyone else, Event Horizon was watched when I was too young for that level of horror.

DLSchichtl,

Fun Fact: Michael Gross, who plays Burt, is actually anti-gun, and had never held one until filming that movie.

Also, I was scared of the ground and parking lots for YEARS.

croobat, in Liftoff. Lemmy app. Do you like the way it works now?
@croobat@lemmy.world avatar

I like the minimalistic approach of Lerboa, but liftoff looks really solid. Totally see why it would appeal more to general masses, it’s beautiful!

FarLine99,

Jerboa is good. But Liftoff is better feature wise 🙂

Nilz,

I started with Jerboa but didn’t really like it. Switched to Connect for Lemmy and it’s been great. I’ll give Liftoff a go.

nadeshiko, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

Sometimes I’m loving the workout and feel like I’d be able to workout for hours on end and other times it’s not as enjoyable and I just want to get it over with.

But what I do enjoy is being able to see myself progress. Looking at progress pictures over the months/years and seeing growth, as well as being able to lift more than I ever have before. It never fails to make me happy.

xusontha, in Liftoff. Lemmy app. Do you like the way it works now?

Seems to work good!

FarLine99,

👍👍👍

AtheistAndroid, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

Status symbol. That, and many people are horrible with their devices. They drop them and scratch them, crack the screen, chip them.

They abuse them and load them with tons of apps. Fill up the phone with videos and photos. The battery holds less of a charge because many people use their phones as computers and will constantly be cycling it dead 3 times a day or more.

Apps update and use more resources and space. They could just clean up their phone, do a reset, and have a case for protection but choose not to and just buy a new one.

It’s stupid I agree

Variden3301, in Liftoff. Lemmy app. Do you like the way it works now?

I have no issues with it and I think the user experience is awesome

FarLine99,

Awesome! ❤️

Yearly1845, in Where do you go on Lemmy for reliable news and politics?

Easy. Don’t get your news from social media.

Get your news from Reuters or The AP or something. Come to social media to discuss the news but step 0 is go somewhere else.

0x2d,

Subscribe to a bunch of rss feeds you like on your phone

Ohthereyouare,

This is a lot closer to link aggregation than social media.

Platomus,

People post links to those places here. That’s what this person is asking.

sounddrill, in Liftoff. Lemmy app. Do you like the way it works now?

I love it. Some things are a bit akward ui wise but it’s smooth, fast and doesn’t heat up my oneplus one

FarLine99,

Yeah, it is fast!

skullgiver, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?
@skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl avatar

I don’t feel a particular high after working out, but I feel better than when I don’t do it. It’s not a “whoohoo everything is great” feeling, just general contentness and a good mood.

I don’t get a lot of that in the gym. The gym is boring as hell, and my solution to burning calories without getting bored to death is watching Netflix on those cardio bikes. I’m not getting any enjoyment out of the activity itself but it passes the time and I still get to feel the mood improvement after I’m done.

Lemjukes, in Do actors all need to agree to casually smoke for some roles?

Theatre Worker Here:

Most prop masters I’ve worked with use either this brand or something very similar. From that page the ingredients listed are: Marshmallow Leaves, Red Clover Flowers, Rose Petals, Fruit Juices, Honey. You can also buy packs that are designed to look like real brands(yellow american spirits, the famous “Marlboro Red”, and white for marb lights.)

Fake cigarettes have been pretty common props for a while now. Obviously there used to be a lot more actual tobacco use on sets but nowadays, especially with a lot of municipalities outlawing tobacco smoking indoors in public spaces, its almost always all fake/herbal. There are also nicotine free vaporizers that are styled to look like real cigarettes.

Wow, that’s really good insight! Thank you!

oppai420,

I remember reading Cillian Murphy went through some silly number of those herbal cigs filming the first season of Peaky Blinders alone.

DrCatface,
@DrCatface@lemmy.ml avatar

they taste like a bouquet of flowers its like smoking your mums garden. the smoke is so light that you think its not lit but then u breathe out smoke. looks real, tastes like rolled up roses. bought 2 packs when I was trying to quit, had 2 and never touched them again

photonic_sorcerer, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?
@photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Do I enjoy my workout? Fuck no! I do it because I want to keep my body in shape and healthy. But I do experience some pleasure. During my warmup jog, I hate myself for putting myself through this, but later when I’m lifting weights, I feel like I’m somehow doing something good by lifting something so heavy. And afterwards, I feel very elated, free and awake. So it’s a net positive even if the process is near torture sometimes.

I am in a gym at this very moment. No I do not.
