Scrath@feddit.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a fun gadget you have purchased that has added value to your life?1·1 year agoMostly ease of management. I have a server on which I run multiple applications. If I don’t need something anymore, I can just purge the container. The directories used by that container are clearly listed in my docker-compose file so I never have to wonder whether I purged everything that is now unnecessary.
It also makes it very easy to deploy a new service.

I originally stored my music in Plex and used Plexamp. I have a large playlist downloaded from youtube which caused horrible performance issues in Plexamp. Navidrome is pretty much a read-only service. It can only read metadata from the files, not add any or manage them. For me this feels safer to expose to the internet since my docker container only has read-only access to all of my files. Even if someone broke into the service for some reason, they couldn’t do anything to my files.
I don’t know if jellyfin has similar performance issues with large playlists since I already had navidrome set up by then.
Scrath@feddit.deto Technology@beehaw.org•Google Chrome will limit ad blockers starting June 20242·1 year agoHonestly, in my opinion it kind of is (though I’m not an expert on it). Except for convenience I don’t think a browser should be allowed to access my USB devices. Though I would welcome it if it was enabled with the same kind of request that pops up when a browser wants to access the microphone or camera.
Scrath@feddit.deto Technology@beehaw.org•Windows PCs can't sleep properly, and Microsoft wants it that way2·1 year agoOh I have it disabled. Pretty much among the first things I do with any new windows install is disable and uninstall as much bullshits as microsoft preloads. It gets pretty annoying though how much there is you have to opt out of. I also like complaining about them so you’re not too wrong there.
At least they are still better than samsung in that regard who preload facebook on their phones as a system app thereby preventing the user from uninstalling it.
Scrath@feddit.deto Technology@beehaw.org•Windows PCs can't sleep properly, and Microsoft wants it that way5·1 year agoThe difference is that these programs are not preinstalled. They are shortcuts to install said program.
I just tried converting that to euro to have a better frame of reference for your 200k. Are those really equivalent to about 8 Euro or did I make a mistake with the conversion?
Scrath@feddit.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone still use RSS and if so what are you subscribed to?1·1 year agoIf you are into selfhosting you could checkout audiobookshelf which allows you to stream podcasts and audiobooks from your own server and manage their metadata
Scrath@feddit.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your favourite things under 50$ that make your life a bit easier or more pleasant?4·1 year agoWonderful tool. I’ve had mine long enough that the black finish has given way to silver fur to my keys rubbing it off
Hopefully he still has many years left. He may look old but he is only about 7 years old
In regards to getting your music on your phone, there is also the option of setting up a navidrome server or similar and streaming your files to your phone.
Some apps like Symfonium (which is a paid app but I really like it) allow you to download the music to a cache so you can use it on the go without exposing your server to the web. If you do decide to actually stream from it, there is support for auto transcoding to a smaller format so you don’t burn through all your data streaming flac music

Scrath@feddit.deto Technology@beehaw.org•The cult of Obsidian: Why people are obsessed with the note-taking app1·2 years agoThat’s basically what I’m doing right now but the web version sucks in my opinion. Embedded content takes forever to load since and it’s not cached across sessions which makes quickly switching between multiple pages annoying
Scrath@feddit.deto Technology@beehaw.org•The cult of Obsidian: Why people are obsessed with the note-taking app1·2 years agoWhat do you use on android? The main thing I want linux compatibility for is for reading my notes on my computer, not for actually creating them. I thought about just annotating PDFs directly but I’m not sure how good that will work
Scrath@feddit.deto Technology@beehaw.org•The cult of Obsidian: Why people are obsessed with the note-taking app4·2 years agoOn the topic of note taking programms.
Is there anything like onenote that is linux compatible, especially for handwritten notes? The closest in regards to decent handwriting support I could find was xournal++ but that felt kind of limiting to me especially without the infinite canvas and the ability to switch notes within the program (think onenote sidebar)
Try debugging a distributed embedded real time system which crashes when you are in a breakpoint too long because the heartbeat doesn’t respond
Physical since I carried it over from my old phone which didn’t support eSIM.
I did get an eSIM some time ago for a short vacation in switzerland though. The activation went surprisingly smooth even though I had to wait a day before they verified me. The verification delay was probably because I used a foreign ID to register at a swiss provider for that eSIM.
Scrath@feddit.deto Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services.@lemmy.ml•[Question] What are your computers named?5·2 years agoMy Proxmox server is named Atlas, as the titan holding up my network.
My VMs on the proxmox server are named:
- TrueNAS (I didn’t have a good name)
- Poseidon for my docker server (Something something docker -> whale -> ocean)
I also have a raspberry pi running for testing out some stuff. It’s named Eileithyia after the greek goddess of birth.
Unfortunately not all features are always available on those ROMs.
One example is GrapheneOS and Google Wallet which I cannot use due to GrapheneOS not being considered “certified software” by the app and therefore not being trusted.
