  • A simple yet loaded question. Overall I think I am. I spend a lot of time working and commuting but I’m in the growing years of my career and working hard to prove myself. The late night work is usually things I enjoy doing but don’t have time for during the day and I’d otherwise be sitting in front the TV so I might as well make money.

    I make time for family as well. For example leaving early for date night every now and then, taking days off for family events, going on family vacations. It’s important to have balance.

    If I were to pick an area of my life that I’m unhappy with, it would be friendships and hobbies but I think most of that is due to undiagnosed mental issues. I don’t make connections easily so friends have always been hard. I have one good friend that I’ve known for almost my whole life, every one else is an acquaintance. The only hobby I have is the same thing I do for work. I don’t really enjoy or get excited about anything else.


  • Monday: Get kids ready for school and drop them off. Travel 45-60 minutes to work, work 9+ hours and travel back. Eat dinner and help clean up (wife cooked after she got home from work). Get kids ready for bed. Work another 3-4 hours. Sleep.

    T-W: Leave for work an hour early. Work 9+ hours. Get home and help make dinner for the family if not yet made, help clean up, get kids ready for bed, work another 3-4 hours, sleep.

    Thursday: Get kids ready and drop them off at school. Work from home for the day. Help make dinner. Help clean up. Get kids ready for bed. Work some more, sleep.

    Friday: Get kids ready and drop them off. Travel to work and work 9+ hours. Travel home. Either get ready to go out with the wife or, if we’re staying in eat dinner and help clean up. If staying in, spend some time with the fam before sleep.

    Saturday: Both wife and I are off work so we run errands, take the kids to do something fun, visit family, home projects, etc… Saturdays are busy.

    Sunday: Wife is working, spend most of the day working on home projects (yard work, laundry, cleaning). Make dinner, get kids ready for bed, sleep.

    Do it all over again.

    Wife works in retail so does a lot of shopping for household needs and groceries throughout the week. She also cleans the house and works on home projects on her days off if she’s not running errands.




  • Everything else just makes it easier to manage which depending on your preferences and how much content you’re dealing with that may not be a problem for you. I run the whole stack using Deluge as my downloader with a VPN. Radarr, Sonarr, and Lidarr automatically locate the torrents on the public tracker sites for me, send the downloads to Deluge, and imports the media into Jellyfin when the download finishes. I also use Jellyseer for discovering and requesting content, as well as allowing family members to request content. I also use Prowlarr to manage the trackers being used in the various arr apps. It’s a very robust and automated system but it all boils down to just downloading torrents over a VPN.







  • I’m here too but I haven’t seen much activity from the few of us that have migrated. I won’t go back to reddit but I fear most of the MSP community will stay there at least for the time being.

    I agree that MSPs mainly push proprietary but there is a growing sub-community of us that still advocate for FOSS where we can, and use strictly FOSS products for their personal tech. I hope to see at least many of those people migrate here. CIPP users and the CyberDrain and MSPGeek communities are filled with these people for example.


  • There’s a bit to explain here. So the root user is basically the equivalent of Administrator. One big difference (there are many) is that when you run something as root using sudo, you are actually running as the root user. When you ran the first command to create the folder, you created it in your home directory using the ~ shorthand variable which points to your /home/ user folder. The second command, also references your home folder. However since your running as root, it’s looking for the file in the root user’s home directory or /root, not your home folder.

    The config file needs to be in the home directory of the user running the command unless you can put the full path to the config file in the command, then you can put it wherever you want.







  • Ah ok. So the only thing left behind really is your name which again I suppose could cause problems out in the ActivityPub world but that’s way too deep into the development of Lemmy for me so I’m only speculating. Basically my random theory is if @youraccount@moose.best is somehow tied to a particular instance ID and now that instance ID is different, I’m not sure how ActivityPub handles that or if that even matters.
