Also as a Mac user who went from Safari, ended up using Orion up til recent Kagi drama, and found LibreWolf. It works well and I’ve found it to have better compatibility versus Orion. I’ve used that with Searxng for more private searches.

People (rightfully) shitting on Elon were forcefully given blue checkmarks and now they can’t hide that mark so that it looks hypocritical.

I mean, compared to what it should be, it is. Especially when I paid for 2.5gb infrastructure.

And it also affects how fast I can pull files from my server. Trying to get some shows downloaded to my laptop before a business trip, guess better prepare for an hour or two copy over LAN. Pulling a backup OS image for my devices? Going to wait for a while.

I think you might be right, couldn’t find an identifiable label on the drive and the model reported in Debian shows up in searches as having only 2465MB/s read speeds. After real-world losses and also handling running an OS + multiple services I imagine that could me the source of my problems. Thanks!

Just an N100 based (quad core 3.4ghz) mini pc with 8gb of RAM and 2.5gb ethernet.

I’ll check my server’s CPU usage while transferring. I only used SCP for testing yesterday because the Samba share stopped working.

No problem 😁

Using iperf3 results in 2.5gb of bandwidth. SSD should not be a bottleneck, the server only has NVME storage and the laptop SSD is located in the SoC. Both far exceeding the network speeds. Traceroute indicated just a single hop to the server.

Just attempted that, odd thing happened was that both evened out on the reverse test at ~800Mbp/s. So higher than the download test before and lower on the upload. Conducted iperf3 tests and that shows the 2.5gb bandwidth so I retried file sharing. Samba refused to work for whatever reason on Debian so I conducted a SCP transfer and after a few tests of a 6.3GB video file, I averaged around 500mbps (highs of around 800mbp/s and lows of around 270mbp/s).

ISP wouldn’t matter regarding handling of LAN only traffic right?

I’ve done pings without any drops. ISP doesn’t come into effect as this is only LAN traffic, laptop and server are on the same switch.

Thanks! I think thats the closest term to what I was thinking of.

So I had been using Orion for about a year with good results. It’s modified webkit so it feels like Safari but supports Chrome and Firefox plugins and has anti-fingerprinting/privacy measures.

I switched away after the situation a month or so ago with Kagi (same dev) adding Brave to their search and being a general ass to the people that raised concerns.

Currently I am using Librewolf, a privacy focused fork of Firefox, which has preformed really well. The only real issue I have is not being able to auto-fill sms 2FA codes like Safari.

Don’t have anything spectacular performance wise but my late 2012 i7 Mac Mini Server is reporting ~14w (with my services running and downloads happening) and I saw bursts up to 30w. Not too bad for 12yo Mac running Homebridge, 2 Navidrome instances, Jellyfin, nginx, Transmission, and SMB (looking into Nextcloud to replace that).

Looking to use internally, been using DNS challenge. Going to check up on it this morning.

So following dig ns domain in terminal vs web app on my phone (shared by another commenter and I had checked lemmy on mobile): my computer was resolving with a couple of different odd results including my public ipv6 address. On mobile it resolved properly.

Checked my DNS and my computer’s dns had my public ip in the listing. So now after removing that, the domain resolves to the wildcard (which dumps at my opnsense router and throws the dns rebind error). So I’m assuming that should be it?

Now I should only have to resolve configuring nginx properly.

Thank you for suggesting the dig command!

Nope, just substituted out my domain for the post.

Ran dig +trace and my domain and it returned a 100.x.x.x#53 public domain address.

I too am going from Apple Music to self-hosted.

Personally I run Navidrome on my server. It has a web player for computers and play:Sub has been my mobile player of choice. Also supports offline downloading to your device. Super lightweight as well.

• For acquiring music either I use Freyr-js (which finds the highest quality copy from Youtube/Youtube Music), Nicotine+ (frontend for soulseek) or check against Bandcamp and Soundcloud to see if your artists have uploaded there. Of course always support your favorite artists if you can, if not then 🤷‍♀️.

If the tags for the music files are incorrect, I use Kid3 to correct them.

I really don’t see touchscreens on laptops to be something to judge a company’s innovation on. I work in communications and I can really only think of two coworkers that personally own touchscreen laptops.

If anyone is using an apple device, NetNewsWire is open source and is dead simple. No extra features, no premium tier, can sync with iCloud or self hosted servers, and the reader mode can be applied source-wide.
