Federation is kicking my butt!

Hi folks! I‘m currently setting up a „fediverse vps“ so to speak but federation is no joke so far. I got lemmy, mastodon and matrix running pretty stable now (in docker and behind nginx proxy manager which seems to be very rare). The next step is enabling federation and so far it’s brutal. I broke matrix by changing up the .well-known stuff and now nothing works. I think my knowledge is just lacking at this point. Does anyone have experience with a setup like this and wants to help? I basically need the npm config and/or other changed configs for federation. Thanks for reading. Have a good one. Edit: Since some kind souls wanted to help and need to see configs, here they are. - **lemmy.hjson** https://hastebin.com/share/giqoxejiru.yaml - **docker-compose.yml** https://hastebin.com/share/osavazijag.yaml - **npm host file** https://hastebin.com/share/ruyivojoyu.bash - **lemmy ui log** https://hastebin.com/share/lakurefohe.php Let me know if you need anything else! :) Edit2: Here is the synapse config - **docker-compose.yml** https://hastebin.com/share/izeroqiqil.yaml - **homeserver.yaml** https://hastebin.com/share/iquzehofen.yaml - **npm host file** https://hastebin.com/share/alolegoyey.bash - **synapse log** https://hastebin.com/share/abumisutuz.yaml (please note that these errors are not representative of the "functioning but no federation" I had earlier since I seemingly broke something when trying to set it up differently.)

Hi folks! I just came up with something, no idea if its good but you judge that: **TL;DR: Can we make a browser extention or something that gives us a button to copy an entire comment chain with crucial, niche advice to a lemmy post or is that gone since the API went down?** I often google things for work and hobbies, code snippets, log entries, ways to make my insane docker setups work. For example, I got a lemmy instance working in docker with [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/nginxproxymanager/comments/1485y0d/getting_lemmy_running_with_a_separate_nginx_proxy/). Very often, I end up on reddit. If the post or comment in question is helpful, I'd like to upvote or ask a follow up question. For that I still need my reddit account. But for the "praise helpful comment" I could also do that here. Some people link to the comment/post which also brings back traffic to reddit (which I dont like). So I'd probably just copy the post (and/or comment chain in question) to a new post on lemmy. It would go a little like this: - User1: "Post describing a topic" - User2: Helpful comment nr 1 - User1: Follow up question - User2: Helpful comment nr 2 For that, I'd need some kind of automation. Since the API is gone, I don't know if that is possible but the option to "copy entire comment chain up to this comment" would definitely be awesome. Feel free to tell me otherwise. *Edit: If this isn't obvious: It would accumulate the most helpful stuff from reddit on here without it being blindly crossposted by bots and would push google results (because its niche!) and most likely not a copyright issue because it is so few things that it should fly under the radar.*

should I upgrade from 23.04 to 23.10 now or wait for EOL?

Basically the headline. I‘ve been told by a colleague to not upgrade ubuntu immediately but wait for a couple months for bugixes and such. Is that correct? I‘m currently on 23.04.

Will there be a thunderbird lemmy client?

Hi folks, I have recently changed my daily driver to ubuntu desktop and I use thunderbird quite a lot. Works good for me. I've seen that it has a matrix client (which doesnt work that great for me yet). Do you think it will get a lemmy/masto client as well? Would make sense imo. Have a good one.

„Read the room“ triggers me to no end

Recently I read through the comments on a post and someone suggested OP should „just read the room“. I have been told this since I was young and it triggers me every time. Being unaware of social dynamics in a situation is a thing a lot of autistic people I know struggle with. „Reading the room“ in my understanding means „becoming aware of the unspoken things in a situation“. Collins dictionary says: If you say that someone reads the room, you mean that they understand their audience and adapt what they say to suit it. I think, although not on purpose, saying this is massively ableist and making fun of someone for „not reading the room“ is harassment imo. Feel free to give an opposing opinion as well. I would like to hear them.

SOLVED! "Display Settings" not opening on Ubuntu 23.04

**Edit: I solved this using the command `gsettings reset org.gnome.Settings last-panel`** And it turns out I have the exact problem of this user: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/2017498 I just didnt know because everything in gnome control center didnt work. After resetting, I deliberately clicked on the mouse settings and it went bad again. Reset again and it works again. **Old Description (out of date, just for reference):** Hi! I'm trying to find out why my display settings are not showing when rightclicking or using `gnome-control-center display`. I have recently disabled a mod I had done to disable pipewire since I couldn't hear anything when using rdp. But probably some of the changed configuration is now breaking parts of my system. Here's the error message when using the above command: ``` GStreamer-Play[16682]: ERROR: GtkGstPlay: 'playbin' element not found, please check your setup ^CTrace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) ``` I tried the following: - uninstalling gstreamer (bad idea) - reinstalling gstreamer using `apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-tools gstreamer1.0-x gstreamer1.0-alsa gstreamer1.0-gl gstreamer1.0-gtk3 gstreamer1.0-qt5 gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio` - reinstalling ubuntu desktop I'm pretty much out of ideas as when I google the problem I only get obscure problems on github which don't seem to resemble the problem I have. Can anyone tell me what may be wrong? I will gladly provide logs if you need them. Thank you very much for reading. Have a good one.

Do you use themes or tweak your ui?

Hi! I‘m very new to ubuntu desktop. I‘m a server admin so linux is not new to me but a gui/desktop very much is. What aesthetic or functional tweaks do you make to your ubuntu desktop? I have seen a lot of people make it more mac os like. Thats not my thing for some reason. I‘d like to know what else there is. Have a good one!

Sonos is down…

Hi folks! I have a sonos system from my pre self hosting days and it’s much too expensive to exchange for something else atm. Since today, I can’t use my music subscriptions anymore and I don’t have any music stored locally. Reason is a giant service outage at sonos. I know, it’s the classic argument for cutting the cord. My question now is, how would you do it? Just pirate music since I have a subscription and am entitled to listen to music? Btw. the issue is with sonos cloud services so the music services are available everywhere but in sonos. If I had a way to stream music from apple or amazon in my homenetwork, sonos should be able to pick it up. Also, what do people do with sonos products? Do they get jailbroken/rooted or is that not a thing? Thanks for reading. Have a good one.

Edit: Is streamdeck on linux just trash?

**Edit: As of five minutes ago, I am aware that there is no official ui for the elgato stream deck which is a huge disservice to the users of this expensive piece of hardware. I was under the impression that streamdeck-ui was the official (and very outdated) official version, which is false. Those who bothered to explain this, thank you very much. To those piling up on someone who just hasn't as much knowledge as you do: feels bad man. Maybe consider that this is not reddit and schooling someone does not have to be aggressive.** Hi folks! I have switched to my Linux daily driver this week and after some starting issues, it's working quite well. But a few bits and bobs are quite annoying, such as streamdeck ui. The windows version looks and feels like a spaceship compared to the barebones version I have on ubuntu 23.04 Here's what the windows version looks like.  Additionally, the windows version has plugins and stuff that pretty much make giant scripts that can do pretty much anything and everything. The Linux version doesn't even have it's own pictures that come with it. If you're curious I just used apt install streamdeck-ui instead of the complex stuff that is on the web (and doesn't work anymore because outdated). Am I just using a **really** outdated version or is the linux version just trash? TL;DR: Linux version of streamdeck ui looks 20 yrs old while the windows version looks like photoshop. Thanks for reading. Have a good one!

Trying to get linphone to work properly...

Hi folks! I got my daily driver to work (which wasn't as hard as I thought) but linphone (VoIP solution) gives me a little bit of headache. When I try clicking on a phone number in firefox (tel:) it asks for the app, I provided the linphone path but it doesn't do anything. Now, I went digging. Turns out they have a gitlab instance with my exact issue unsolved for 2 yrs (but they're still active). I tried logging in with my gitlab credentials but it doesn't work. is that because it's self hosted? How should someone provide issues or other feedback if nobody can log in? The Issue on gitlab: https://gitlab.linphone.org/BC/public/linphone-desktop/-/issues/27 Otherwise the app works great. was even easier to get working than micro sip on windows. Thanks for reading! Have a good one. Btw.: I know this is an app specific issue but we don't have a gitlab community yet, feel free to make one. :)

SOLVED: I broke my sound...again!

hi folks! **Update: I got pipewire working now. This is what helped me:** ``` sudo apt install pipewire-audio-client-libraries libspa-0.2-bluetooth libspa-0.2-jack systemctl --user mask pulseaudio systemctl --user --now enable pipewire{,-pulse}.{socket,service} ``` Now it is an audacity issue. Will make another thread for that. # The System Processor 10920x, 32GB Ram, 3060ti, zoom u-22 DAC, Stream Deck, Logitech camera # The OS Ubuntu 23.04 upgraded from 22.10 (yesterday) # TL;DR I reactivated pulseaudio, disabling pipewire, now trying to revert without having to reinstall from scratch. # The Situation I am currently working on my first linux daily driver. Hardware arrived yesterday. The pc has been in use for couple months but not as daily since the gpu was only a stand in. It was running quite a rough config, ubuntu 22.10 with a pulse audio mod (disabled pipewire so I could hear sound when RDPing in). I now reverted those changes with a guide (because my microphone would not be picked up by audacity) but it promptly destroyed my Desktop gui. I reinstalled ubuntu-desktop and the gui works again now. But after disabling pulse and reenabling pipewire, I don't get any sound output at all. `pipewire status` gives me the following output: ``` ● pipewire.service - PipeWire Multimedia Service Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.service; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Tue 2023-09-19 10:17:16 CEST; 5min ago TriggeredBy: ● pipewire.socket Main PID: 3211 (pipewire) Tasks: 2 (limit: 38029) Memory: 4.1M CPU: 122ms CGroup: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service/session.slice/pipewire.service └─3211 /usr/bin/pipewire Sep 19 10:17:16 systemd[3204]: Started pipewire.service - PipeWire Multimedia Service.

3060ti on Ubuntu feels like old Vodoo GPU

Update: I installed CS:GO and it runs insanely smooth. Metro didnt start at all. I now have cycled through many compatibility options and tried proton experimental, latest and now linux runtime. Now it works on solid 60 fps! Hi folks! I made it! I built a daily driver with Linux! But I'm running into the first walls, which was expected but is still annoying. So I bought a 3060ti which I got for a reasonable price and tried playing metro last light redux. Sub 10 fps. I'm pretty baffled atm. Have checked (and for sure, reddit was the first answer) but so far no dice. I changed from open source to proprietary driver, no changes either. Is there a troubleshooting guide or something? Can I even guarantee my card runs on full capacity without windows? (sorry, I'm not used to linux desktop). Thanks for reading! Have a good one!

How did you find ubuntu server (the OS)?

Hi there! I found ubuntu server when I was starting to work in tech fulltime (I had done admin work and dev stuff before but not exclusively). A lot of folks had some linux experience and I learned about VMs at the time. So I spun up a ubuntu server vm to check out linux. It took me a bit to get accustomed to the command line but it worked pretty well. Knowing some programming languages definitely helped to grasp the syntax. I worked with the VM for some time and then started searching for ways to use my knowledge and hone it further. So I grabbed an old server that was in my basement and put ubuntu server on it. This server now sits in my other room and has 8 TB of data on it, movies, tv shows (all backups of course...), my home automation system, dashboards, vaults, cloud data. The data is mirrored and backed up off site. I also then came across it again at work when I took care of some servers we had there. It has been quite a ride so far but also a lot of fun. currently trying to phase out my windows laptop for a ubuntu desktop tower. Wish me luck. :) Thanks for reading. I'm curious to hear your stories.

Grafana, Influxdb and Flux - issues with Dashboards

Hello everyone! I'm using a TIG stack (Telegraf, InfluxDB, Grafana) in Docker to monitor my server and I keep running into the same issues. When the Telegraf container gets updated (removed and recreated), the Hostname changes. This leads to Grafana to split the data (best case) or show no data at all (worst case) since it was told to show a specific field which is named after the host. Now, I have tried regexing the column (example: /uptime_format/ in flux) but I'm a noob at both regex and flux so that doesn't work either. I think I might need to set the hostname in the telegraf container but I thought I'd ask if anyone else solved this problem before. :) Thank you for reading.

Would it be possible (at some point) cool aur by pulling heatenergy from it?

I recently had a discussion about ACs and how they heat up cities. Then I found an article about theoretical increase of efficiency of acs by using the heat pulled from a room to run a thermoelectric device and getting some of the energy back that was used in the ac. I‘ve had this downstream thought many times already: since hot air is basically just energy stored. Could we theoretically pull (all?) the energy from the air (depending on desired temp) to cool it and casually fuel our society’s energy needs?

Thinking of getting a retro gaming machine.

Maybe I‘ll mod my ps3 to make it emulate games. I heard that works pretty good. I obviously would like to get tons of old games and since they’re not sold anywhere for a fair price, I deem it morally sound to *find* them. I heard of „handheld retro gaming consoles“ which also have *found* games on them. Does anyone have experience with those? Btw: Since the graphics are pretty low res, that could be a better alternative than the ps3 since the 55“ tv its hooked up to might make it look worse. It’s just an idea at this point so I‘m happy for any direction. I figured c/retrogaming might be wrong since talking about finding unlicensed games might be against their rules. Feel free to advise me otherwise. P.S.: Forgive the ignorance. I know my way around commandline and some medium advanced programming but I‘m not pro at sailing the high seas at all.
