Just a small survey for my users
  • I really like the color scheme for the app. So many apps these days just stick to Material You design or basic grey/black/white and looks boring. The blue theming is really nice.

    As others have said I also like the text size as it is currently. As an accessibility thing it might be worth including some options but for now, I think it's a very usable size

    The sorting and view options being in the FAB are not intuitive. I feel like the "Local | New" text at the top should be menus to switch sort/view options.

    I would also like to have some sort of Lists or Categories function where we could have additional feeds with specific communities in them, like having multiple sets of subscribed communities.

    Overall I feel like this is a strong start and am looking forward to continued development.

  • Recommended hard drive monitoring (Ubuntu server) options?

    I've had a home server for years, at first using Windows Server, then Unraid, and now using Ubuntu server. I've long known that I should keep a close eye on my spinning rust, but I never really knew the best way to have that monitoring quietly automated in the background, only sending me a message when something bad shows up. If it matters at all (I assume it doesn't) I am using ZFS on Ubuntu (but not using ZFS as root. It's mounted in e.g ~/user/storage. My primary drive is an SSD)

    What are you all using for hard drive monitoring? What are you using for notifications and (generally) how are you linking those two together?

    What is your machine naming scheme?
  • Various computers/robots from media.

    My desktop is Eddie (The name of the shop's computer from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and my home server is HEX (the weird magic computer in the High Energy Magic building at Unseen University in the Discworld novels)

  • Will Pathfinder still be standing after the dust settles?
  • Pathfinder 1E is built on the 3.5 version of D&D. The OGL at that time was too permissive so Paizo copies the system, made their tweaks and flavor changes, then released it.

    Pathfinder 2E is a new system that doesn't rely on anything from D&D at all. The new OGL changes are not to target Paizo, but rather to target creators making modules or shows based on D&D 5e. They only changed the license for 5e.

  • Best options for Non-Google cloud storage as of 2022?
  • Agreed, but if you are looking into self hosting anything, whether internet connected or not, you should be following proper data backup and redundancy rules

    The 321 data backup rule is to have three copies of everything across at least two different types of storage media, with one backup in a separate geographic location for emergencies.

    For most people who self host, this means backing up primary devices to a NAS, then backing up the NAS to a backup service. This option is often cheaper than cloud storage in exchange for being more annoying to set up or recover from.

    Also keep in mind that redundancy is not backup. All of your backup options should also be redundant. In a NAS, that means having additional drives with parity data so that if a drive fails, it can be replaced without losing anything, but that parity drive isn't backup. Pretty much any backup service or cloud storage you use is going to be redundant, so making sure your local data is resilient is important.
