Unfortunately, comments, and votes don’t appear to be federating from Peertube. I’ve opened some issues (LemmyNet/Lemmy#4314, LemmyNet/Lemmy#3837, LemmyNet/lemmy-ui#2161) for this in the past, and, from what I’ve heard, it may be an issue with Peertube’s federation implementation.

Technologically, there’s a little more to it than only that, but, in practice, that’s essentially what it does.

@Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works avatar

Only one: My Jellyfin server.

Kalcifer, to linux in Is it possible to delete the default zones in Firewalld, and if not, why?
@Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works avatar

I believe you may have misinterpereted my post. I wasn’t asking why zones exist, I was asking specifically why one cannot delete the default zones in Firewalld.

Kalcifer, to selfhosted in Backing-up Single Board Computer
@Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works avatar

The fact that it’s a “single board” computer, specifically, is mildly irrelevant, imo; just follow standard backup practices. The only way the type of computer really comes into question is whether or not it has adequate resources to run whatever backup solution that you choose. For my usecase, Borg works great, but choose whatever solution fits your requirements. The “simplest”, and lightest solution is probably rsync, but that may leave a lot to be desired.

Kalcifer, to selfhosted in Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times
@Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works avatar

Well dang, I have Nextcloud installed as a snap (which has been perfectly stable for me when running on Ubuntu Server), but I was thinking of switching over to a docker installation; this thread doesn’t exactly fill me with enthusiasm for that idea…

I have heard that it might be an issue with Peertube’s federation implementation, in that its not properly pushing externally.

Kalcifer, to lemmyshitpost in a story in two parts
@Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works avatar

I use Tusky.

UnifiedPush, itself, is just the standard; services like Ntfy then implement it.

Kalcifer, to linux in When do I actually need a firewall?
@Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works avatar

If you’re running a laptop with a local web server for development, you wouldn’t want other devices in i.e. the coffee shop WiFi to be able to connect to your (likely insecure) local web server, would you?

This is a fair point that I hadn’t considered for the mobile use-case.

Imagine a family member visits you and wants internet access in their Windows laptop, so you give them the WiFi password. Do you want that possibly malware infected thing poking around at ports other than 80 running on your server?

Fair point!

note that you likely do have applications listening on ports you didn’t know about. Take a look at sudo ss -utpnl.

Interesting! In my case I have a number of sockets from spotify, and steam listening on port 0.0.0.0. I would assume, that these are only available to connections from the LAN?

It’s rather the other way around; you don’t want the outside world to be able to talk to untrusted software on your computer. To be a classical “door”, the application must be able to listen to connections.

OTOH, smarter malware can of course be something like a door by requesting intrusion by itself, so outbound filtering is also something you should do with untrusted applications.

It could also be malicious software that simply makes a request to a remote server – perhaps even siphoning your local data.

If it turned out your window could easily be opened from the outside, you’d rather have razor fence in front until you can replace the window, would you?

Fair point!

Kalcifer, to selfhosted in [WORKAROUND] Nextcloud portforward stops working when it is moved to a bridged network
@Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works avatar

I’m not exactly sure what the previous issue was, but it appears that, possibly, the previous bridge that was in use was broken in some way. I have since switched the primary router to one that supports WDS, and created a WDS bridge between the two, and now everything is working as expected.

Kalcifer, to opensource in Selfhostable alternative to last.fm
@Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works avatar

The issue, I think, is that having access to a user’s entire listening history could very well be used to identify that user – one’s full listening history is likely to be rather unique.

Kalcifer, to opensource in Android dictionary app that uses Wikitionary as a backend
@Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works avatar

That’s a useful bang!

@Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works avatar

That’s a fair point that I had not considered – it’s a shortcoming in the premise of my inquiry. I wonder if it’s possible, if at all, to create any recommendation service that doesn’t compromise on user privacy. It may not be, as it would require a user’s history, which, given enough entries, can be used to identify them.
