That was basically the same claim LP made. Even if true, if you have a bad master password, you can be compromised. While yes, that’s on you, your data is a high priority target in a centralized password store… if you host it yourself, someone would first have to know you had that data to even target you for that. Much less exposure hosting it yourself. The convenience factor and potentially less security than a company hosting passwords have, so it’s kind of a six of one, half dozen of the other.

Raspberry Pi will handle it.

It’s all about the storage space. Processing requirements are minimal.

I switched from Lastpass to 1Pass and it was pretty miserable. I then swtiched to Bitwarden. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than LP and 1Pass.

The reason you’d want to self-host is so that nobody has access to your data but you. “The cloud” is just someone elses computer"

Nobody can answer this because it depends entirely on how you set it up. It can be set up either way. Whatever you point your internal endpoint at is what it is.

Wat

I don’t remember now. It’s been about a year since I did it. I got tired of tracks mysteriously disappearing out of my library or certain versions of a song not being available (licensing issues I assume) … so now the RIAA gets none of my money instead of some of my money, because they want to be greedy.

I would imagine any of the paid services would work for the most part but I can’t say for sure, I’m sorry. The one i used just downloaded everything at once (about 1500 tracks worth I think)

I was in the same boat as you. I searched for months but there is nothing out there that works consistently.

I ended up paying for a service that let me download my entire Spotify library and then cancelled the subscription. I then cancelled Spotify and now get so my music through Lidarr and play it through Plexamp. I’m really happy with this setup for the most part, however…

Be aware that Lidarr only downloads full albums, not individual songs, so that’s a drawback.

Also, it’s best to have private trackers (usenet AND torrent) to get the best experience out of Lidarr. I had to spend about a month getting invites to several exclusive Torrent and Usenet sites but once I did Lidarr finds most things. I have to get some obscure things by hand still, though, as they aren’t in Lidarr.

Are you saying you stand up and then wipe your ass? Like/// really? Holy shit.

I don’t quite understand why you are paying someone else to host your data? At that point, just use one of the major cloud services…

Nobody cares man. Why do you think this is the proper forum to air your grievance about a known shitty instance?

Stop visiting that instance. Problem solved.

Why am I going to sell them anything? It’s a self made problem that is instantly fixed by stopping doing what the complaint is about.

It’s like you are going to the doctor and saying “Doc, my hand hurts!” When the doc asks why you say you’ve been hitting your hand with a hammer. He tells you to stop doing that but you say “Good luck with that” instead of “oh right. Yeah that makes sense”

Lol what?

What “echos” are you talking about? Who cares if the “active communities stem on [sic] Lemmy.world?” What does it matter what instance you are interacting with the content from? It literally makes no difference.

Sh.itjust.works, the 4th biggest instance, is defederated by beehaw, the 7th largest instance.

Should the 2357 monthly active users of Sh.itjust.works just leave to another instance to be able to access Beehaw communities?

Literally yes. That is how it works. If you don’t like the federation policies of any given instance, MOVE. There is no reason to stick around an instance that has shitty policies. Why can’t you understand this?

You can also yourself choose only one community and only see the content once. Then your problem goes away.

I don’t have a problem. You are the one that has a problem with it. I subscribe to one community. My server doesn’t defederate from anyone. I literally have zero problems of the type you are describing. Your problems are self-made. They aren’t a problem with Lemmy, they are a problem with you putting yourself into that situation. It’s the literal translation of the meme with the kid on the bike sticking the branch in his wheel and then blaming the bike when he crashes.

User A on Hexbear doesn’t have to choose, he can only access to lemmy.ml. He posts there. He has no option to choose the other one due to the defederation.

User B on Lemmy.world chooses lemmy.world. He posts there.

I understood what you wrote, but you are still not making any sense. A huser on Hexbear, if he wants to access fediverse@lemmy.world goes to another server that has access to that. There is a choice. If the instance you are signed up at is defederating like idiots (such as Hexbear), then move elsewhere. It’s a simple choice. It’s anything but “Having no options”

How is any of those communities going to die if people keep posting to both?

Exactly. Stop. You are creating the problem you are complaining about. Stop doing that and the problem goes away.

I’m not seeing how to use a difference instance with photon? I don’t use lemmy.ml

That doesn’t really seem to answer the question though… why be on Lemmy.world? What does “the most active instance” even mean in the context of federation?

I’m really confused by your response and I get the feeling maybe you don’t understand federation?

It doesn’t matter what instance you view, post, or otherwise interact with the content from. The only thing that matters is who’s federated with whom. In the case of Lemmy.world, they defederate people. From your response, it seems like you’d be better served finding a server that does not defederate or that defederates more to your tastes.

There is literally no reason to be on lemmy.world in the fediverse.

Maybe you didn’t understand what I wrote? Stop subscribing to both. Only interact with one. If that’s the one people agree with, the other will die.

There is literally no reason to cross post to both of them. Stop doing that. Stop subscribing to both. Pick one and let the other die. The entire reason there are two is because you keep subscribing and posting to both of them. It will continue to be that way until you be the change you want to see.

If your instance has defederated, maybe it’s time to find a new instance that isn’t a POS? Every user has a choice. You can choose to go to an instance that isn’t reactionary and arbitrary in their defederation policies. The whole point of the Fediverse is so you DO have a choice; that’s the foundation of the entire Fediverse. There are many instances that are federated with both if you are wanting content from both. Just because one instance defederates from another doesn’t somehow now make you beholden to one instance.

Why do you continue to use lemmy.world if you are having that kind of issue?

The solution is to stop subscribing to one of them. Eventually, if people follow this method, one will die out.

If the content is the same on each one with prime cross posting each time, then you aren’t missing anything anyway

I’m a random idiot from Serbia

You got one part right, finally.
