I have a disk for local backups (that is the only purpose of that disk). I was wondering what would make it last longer:

- Keep it mounted to my server permanently (current solution)
- Keep it unmounted most of the time, mount it when I'm going to do a backup (either daily or every 3 days, I don't mind changing that) and unmounting after the backup is done.

What would be the best strategy?

@[email protected] ha! I have my caps lock as a ctrl key (easier for vim acrobatics)

@[email protected] Interesting, I just realized I use my left pinky for the left shift while pressing the Z with my middle left finger :-P

 

Do you use your right shift key? Have you re-mapped it into another key/function? which one?

@[email protected] what does it do (I do t use BitTorrent) that makes you use it?

 

Is there a better ways to import Flac albums from bandcamp to a navidrome or jellyfin instance? I'm downloading and rsync'ing like a caveman and I suspect someone already solved this issue

[question] Alt-text service, self hosted

Is there a service that I could plug into my misskey/firefish/whatev that provides an alt-text for an image I'm posting. I don't post images that often, so the few times, it would be nice to have an automatic OCR or LLM/Stable Diffusion description of a picture attached to it.

Of course, without depending on Google or similars.

Any ideas? cc @[email protected] @[email protected]

I want to try using #obsidian along with #silverbullet and see how the experiment goes. Has anybody done the same? Cc @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]

 

I was wondering if someone has done something similar:

I want to detect if one of the kitchen burners have been running for a long time. Gas sensors won't work because the fires are running.

I was thinking that a solution could be to have a wifi-enabled thermostat that sends the temperature to home assistant and if it is above > X for Y minutes, send an alarm/email/notification. The sensor could be hidden below the burners and connected via a cable to measure the temperature.

Does this make sense? Does anybody have some idea how to implement this (maybe using a ESP8266)?

Is there other alternative?

Has anybody experienced with running calibre-web + kavita (or another combination of ebook oriented services) combined? I'm asking because none seem to be the definite winner (calibre is fugly, but you can upload books, kavita is nice but opinionated, etc). Any experience on that regard?

@[email protected] do you mind sharing why nebula and not say WireGuard?

 

Currently I have a Boox e-ink reader, but I learned that they don't last that much and their post-sale support is the worst. I see that this device will fail in the next 6-12 months, what e-ink readers (that it is NOT A KINDLE) would you recommend? I'm interested on reading both .epub and whatever is the current kindle app format, along with PDFs, being able to add notes is not super critical.

recommendations?

I would like to have a mechanism to set up a server automagically…

Similarly I would like to set up my user account settings (Tmux plugins, .zshrc and vim settings, etc) that I can replicate in multiple machines via a script (I have a custom script for this but I want a more solid alternative)

Thoughts on what infra-as-code solution would work best? Any similar experiences or use cases with one Thanks!

I found that after I signout from the #jellyfin app in iOS I can't connect back to the server on the app but I can connect on the browser. I tried with 2 devices, allowed local network access, I copy&pasted the address to make sure it wasn't a typo, but nothing, no connection via the app.

I tried using the IP + port on both devices and the same result: app doesn't connect but the browser can.

I'm running out of options so I wonder if there is something wrong with current jellyfin build? What else can I be missing?
