It’s just “easier” to connect devices to the internet and provide the end user with an (unmaintained, insecure) app on their phone to see it’s doing something.
But, I seriously doubt I could find any updated firmware for my inverter (which is not connected to the internet)
Yes. And No.
I have a home made (arch btw) NAS that stores all our files - mostly via syncthing, even from remote family.
That was it.
Then I installed Immich so that we could see the photos… so… it’s technically just a NAS, but it does now have a web application running on it…
Videos & Music are on a completely separate MythTV box which existed before the NAS - I saw no point in moving ~3TB of data to a separate box that would need to be powered when I want to watch / listen to something… my NAS powers itself up & down throughout the day to save electricity (and it was interesting to learn how to make it know when it was / wasn’t being used)
Participating countries reported the seizure of 41 servers and over 100 GB of data,
That seems like a small amount of data considering the size of the operation.
Download with yt-dlp. All of it. Even into a single folder if that’s easier.
Then run it all through Picard and that’ll do everything else for you - albumart, metadata, folders, filenames, the lot.
Anything that Picard doesn’t know about, enter it into the MusicBrainz db to give back to the community.
Done.
We use VNC as we can record the sessions easily for later priof / discussion with our customers.
It’s in a VPN tunnel of course.
But of course, we also don’t use Google, AWS, etc as they’re not secure enough for us and we have our own SOCs
If you’re looking for a different approach, I moved from Nextcloud to Radicale for my family calendars, which includes ToDo functionality.
From an app point, for Android I’m using Fossify Calendar (which I think you’re using?) and Tasks.Org ToDo - and this definitely handles recurring tasks (inc. with different types of schedules)
From a remote access point of view, I have HA Proxy to convert the internal HTTP traffic into external HTTPS traffic (with Lets Encrypt certificate)
(Yes, I also have a VPN for other things… just focusing here for the calendar / todo)
My journey⋮ Nextcloud —> syncthing + radicale
Much simpler, easier to maintain, less resources needed
Got a link for that? Searching for “garage backup storage” doesn’t really get me anywhere…
Nice. I’ll go that way when I next brave the dust and cobwebs where the server’s currently located
Aha! I was considering moving from proxmox to incus too, but incus seemed quite new and not much documentation (at the time)
How do you find it now?
Users of Chromium-based browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi are also advised to apply the fixes as and when they become available.
Happy for them to be developing an app (which already appears to exist), but at ~20‰ with 16 days left… wouldn’t it be “better” to collaborate with existing apps like Pipepipe / Newpipe and direct those funds into the platform instead?
It’s a shame, because I tried to support them as long as I could, but I guess I out grew their content over time and stopped subscribing when I had a pile of unread magazines.
But thanks guys, it was a good mag
Yeah, but it’s hard work to make it look easy.
I made a video for work once, it was basically a recorded Teams call, but, good god, I was awful 🤭
Hadn’t thought about all the locale, etc… good point, thanks
Yeah… notes… they started about 50% of the way through building the system.
Now, my notes are great, but some of these devices are ~10 years old.
But, yep, I totally agree, notes are a damn good thing to have.
Not thought about bash history though, interesting point, but I think that only goes back a short duration?
Yeah, at least others are confirming what I had assumed, rather than everyone pointing me to a blindingly obvious tool that did it all for me!
Good point, not thought of that - thanks
Lucky you.
Yep, I’d seen some other videos of his, he does seem genuinely interested in passing on his knowledge
MythTV - as others have already mentioned. It’s designed to work with the 10’ interface
Even records TV programs (presuming you have tuner hardware of course) - which I don’t think the others can do?
We don’t stream Netflix, but we do watch other various streams (ie BBC iPlayer), yoochoob, etc - all works fine, inc… video files from various sources, and music…
We use it with a Logitech K400 wireless keyboard and it works great for us.
I have played with a more traditional looking TV wand remote in the past, but you still need a keyboard to type in program websites, names, etc. so the K400 became our defacto remote.
MythTV used to come with Ubuntu as Mythbuntu back in the day, but most of the pre-installed distros have fallen away, so you’d need to pick a distro and install it yourself.
It’s a very mature application, so you won’t need to keep updating every time you want to watch anything.
