  • I’m not reading all that, but skimming through, I see RCA cables.

    RCA is still sending analog signal, so things like cable quality are what used to matter, and don’t much anymore in the digital age… But gold-plated connectors, actual core copper being OFC not CCA, what gauge (true 16ga or a lot of cheap sheath)?, are they twisted pairs to reduce interference/cross-talk, is it shielded, what sheath material, the list goes on…

    Monster brand cable made a name for itself back in the day for having actual quality cables for the most part, so the noticeable difference in quality paid off… Anymore, again, generalizing, a digital cable is a digital cable (like HDMI) and therefore you either have signal or you don’t. No static, no interference, etc. A cheap $8 HDMI 2.1 cable on eBay will land you NEAR identical to “top” brands like audioquest shit and so on… They bank on the ideas of old where a supposed top end cable matters. So they charge a stupid premium for stupid people.

    I’ve been doing Pro AV on and off for close to 30 years, but don’t take my word for it lol. I don’t have immediate documentation or sources, just experience. And I know what works and that 99.999% of people will never know most digital cable brand differences like the analog days.




  • Actually, I had utilized the link, thank you. I just mostly found their promotional hosting services, and nothing of self host. A lot of times people post links to projects pages on GH and that’s it, so after a minute I wanted to chime in.

    THEN buried on their page I found it and wanted to clarify my comment for anyone else who might be looking for the info themselves…

    Now we got your douchey self in the comments being, well, a douche, and instead of maybe fixing your link to go straight for the self-host section or anything useful, you decide to just be a dick as if that’s any benefit…

    A more clear and concise post would say something like: While this company offers paid (and slightly more expensive) hosted solutions like Nextcloud, you also have the option to self -host and view the files here https://github.com/peergos/peergos It offers E2EE over a P2P network, which is better than NC too.

    And that’s it folks.

















  • Dang, that’s a lot of seperate parts for 1 “simple” task smh. It’s one of the reasons I’ve stayed away from all this Docker nonsense. I get it’s FOSS and is a great alternative to a lot of paid garbage, but just seems like there could be an easier way… Nice to learn, tinker, etc, but if it breaks, then it seems more complicated to fix as each component is separate.

    I’ve just supported Window for so long and there’s a second-nature to troubleshooting; but took years to get there, ya know? I’ll check it out for sure, but I’m still going to look around myself


  • Someone opened my eyes recently to Yunohost which is a container manager essentially (my understanding) though is based on Debian for the newer versions not actual Docker.

    Anyway, I can install Prometheus as well as node explorer, but I think I would only need Prometheus. Node explorer sounds like if I hosted Prometheus on another box and wanted this host to talk to it.
