Sorry guys, it’s because I just bought another domain today. This really sucks, Google Domains was easy to use and cheap.
Lots of cheep SFF/thin client machines on eBay.
The cheapest CyberPower/APC that is pure sine wave should be just fine.
Assuming you don’t want to expose these services directly to the internet (I don’t recommend it) then you want to set up a VPN to connect back to your home network. Wireguard or OpenVPN are the most commonly used. As far as guides that will depend where/how you want to run it.
It’s a Plex alternative, I don’t know about better. IIRC it’s a fork of Emby. I try both usually a couple times a year, but there’s always something that gives me issue and I just stay with Plex.
Also, seems kind of silly, but the name is just dumb. Neither my wife or I want to audibly say “let’s watch something on Jellyfin”.
Looks like my instance got hit with a bot. I had email verification enabled but had missed turning on captcha (captcha enable should be up with enabling email verification settings). The bot used fake emails so none of the accounts are verified, but still goes towards account numbers. Is there really any good way to clean this up? Need a way to purge unverified accounts or something.
I still think instances should be largely region based, which is why I started one for Colorado. As far as sharing it I’m not really sure either other than spamming it everywhere (which I also don’t want to do). Instance discovery kind of sucks, you can’t even search on the main join Lemmy page.
Yes, person table is top level. Delete from person table and it cascades down and deletes from other tables. User count also automatically updates. Just be careful because person table also contains federated users. There is a “local” column to determine if they are local users or not.
I had about 6k bot accounts, but they were all unverified, so I just deleted all local unverified accounts from the person table.
Just don’t go messing with the database without backups. My host supports snapshots so I did a quick snapshot before messing with anything.
Don’t delete from the local_user table. You only need to delete from the person table, the rest of the tables will be updated automatically and user count will update automatically.
Edit: The below command will delete all unverified users. NOTE: If you do not have email verification turned on then all users are unverified, therefore all users will be deleted. It also appears with v18 when you enable email verification all existing users remain unverified.
This is a destructive command, use at your own risk and don’t go fucking with the database if you don’t have backups.
DELETE FROM person WHERE local = 'true' AND id IN (SELECT person_id FROM local_user WHERE email_verified = 'false');
In the parenthesis you can add your AND to only select unverified accounts of a certain age.
