Ah, I just use the default lemmy webui, if you’ve fallen for an alternative then I understand moving is hard. :)
I don’t feel apart because I use another instance though, just that I strengthen the resilience of lemmy by using a smaller instance.
My lemmy.world account is a few days you ger than yours.
https://lemmy.world/u/anamethatisnt

An option for you is to move to an instance that isn’t defederated with beehaw, f.e. sopuli.xyz.

That moved to lemm.ee and lemm.ee moved to !casualconversation@piefed.social

Most comms are focused on a subject, I’m not aware of any /c/lonely/.
I know that beehaw has a comm for random chat, but you can’t reach !chat@beehaw.org from lemmy.world.

lemmy.one also has one it seems
!chat@lemmy.one

Only one I’ve heard of is https://github.com/complexlogic/flex-launcher

Compatibility with Android usually means running DAVx⁵
https://f-droid.org/packages/at.bitfire.davdroid/

A larger package than just CalDAV and CardDAV would be to look into Gromox with Grommunio-DAV.
It’s on my “I should check this out” list, so no personal experience.
https://github.com/grommunio/gromox
https://github.com/grommunio/grommunio-dav

They also have support for Exchange ActiveSync through another optional addon

I always forget prison is forced labour camps in the US and not there to rehabilitate criminals.

I thought the tactic was having them live in the production facilities.

Followup; Not as cheap but there are M.2 to SATA cards available too, if your mb has no empty PCIe but do have empty M.2 available.

Might also look at larger drives. When I compared 3.5’’ drives then the 24TB is cheaper per terabyte than both 16TB and 12TB. The ones I compared are listed below:
Seagate Exos X24 Harddisk ST24000NM002H 24TB 3.5" Serial Attached SCSI 2
Seagate Exos X24 Harddisk ST16000NM001H 16TB 3.5" Serial ATA-600 7200rpm
Seagate IronWolf Harddisk ST12000VN0008 12TB 3.5" SATA-600 7200rpm

That’s very true, I’d rather by an ASUS or other known brand N100 MB + an M.2 to SATA splitter too, if the price is equal (or better).
Last time I looked at it I was looking for hw for an opnsense router so I wanted the multiple intel i226 nics that most china-brands add on, so my mind went that way right away.

For the easy way I would just grab a Synology DS224+.
For the DIY something like Jonsbo N2 case + a N100/6xSATA mitx board from china should do the trick. The N100 is great for low power builds.

No personal knowledge of them but a couple would be sabre/dav and radicale:

• https://github.com/sabre-io/dav

• https://sabre.io/

• https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale

• https://radicale.org/v3.html

edit: and for Android phones the DAVx⁵ is a great caldav and carddav client

“Shutting down the nuclear plants may put electricity supply at risk,” REE’s former chair Jordi Sevilla told Spanish news website Voxpopuli in January. Spain plans to shut down all seven nuclear reactors by 2035.
The planned closure of two nuclear reactors at southwestern Spain’s Almaraz plant, starting in 2027, will increase the risks of blackouts, European power lobby ENTSO-E said in April.
REE responded to ENTSO-E by saying there was no risk of a blackout and it could guarantee stable energy supply.

Less than a week later, Almaraz temporarily shut down the two units citing abundant wind energy supply as making operations uneconomic. One unit was still offline on Monday.

How does that differ from Bitwarden?

On the other hand, using bitwarden might require some level of trust. How much should I trust the company to use the free service?
How do I know if my passwords would be safe, not being exposed to the wide net?

Wouldn’t these questions be as true of the VPS service that hosts Vaultwarden as of Bitwarden?
If my internet at home was better I would be selfhosting Vaultwarden and use a full vpn on my laptop/phone/tablet when leaving the house.
Now I’m using KeepassXC with my home pc as the true source and syncing copies of the database to my laptop and phone.

I would recommend trying out Cockpit (Github) and Portainer (Github).
Cockpit gives you a WebUI for Linux and Portainer gives you a WebUI for Docker.
Personally I usually run Debian Stable for servers, but choice of distro matters little if you run stuff as Docker containers.

Options if it’s to protect against local disasters such as fire:

1. Having a NAS at a family member / friends house as a backup location for your NAS (over vpn) is an option. Works best if they also need an offsite backup with you being able to spare space for it on your NAS in return.
2. Having at least two usb drives as backup locations for the NAS and rotated as often as you think necessary and having at least one stored offsite at a family member / friends house.
3. Rent a proper 1U rack space in the city data centre and setup your own “cloud”, definitely the most expensive option and total overkill if offsite backup is the only reason.

Personally I would probably go for option two and bring the usb drive with me for a weekly coffee with my parents, they’d enjoy the visit and I enjoy knowing that my backup isn’t in the hands of Amazon. I’d go for option 1 if my internet was better.

Ah right, “proof” from ivan.

In the Russian invasion of Ukraine that began in 2022, critics say that Telesur has spread Russian disinformation in Latin America.
