What is a service you host you never knew you needed?

I landed on Tandoor. I had a bunch of recipes on one of those web sites and they switched to a subscription model and locked me out of my recipes. I don't remember why I chose Tandoor over Mealie, but having full ownership over my recipes is freeing.

I was disappointed with the automatic redact feature too, but saw that they just updated and added a graphical one also.

I've been using it for almost a year by now, and so far I didn't have any problems. I've not considered that problem though, so it might be happening and I was just lucky.

There is, but it requires you to log into the app every two weeks to maintain a session. You can setup a emulator to do it for you. I just have a separate profile on my Graphene with Only WhatsApp that I switch to and login whenever I get a warning.

[email protected]

Yeah, that part about WhatsApp is annoying. I just have a spearate profile on Graphene that has only WhatsApp installed, and whenever it wants me to refresh a session I just switch to the profile and log in.

Yeah, that's my experience as well. In addition to being lazy with updating, so if some kind of supply chain attack happens, I usually sorts itself out before I get to updating

But I did limit my browser extensions, after I a cause with Nano Defender taught me a lesson - it was a mildly popular anit-anti-adblock killer that worked where other adblocks were detected, but the developer sold the extension to a company that turned it into a info-stealer malware and pushed an update through chrome store, which got accepted and propagated, and some of my social network sessions got compromised. So, I just stick to more popular projects where something like this shouldn't happen, and don't use random extensions.

IIRC immich is like a google photos replacement. I use nextcloud for that on android but it's not so simple on ios. How's immich for ios, do uploads work automatically in the background? How's performance?

Been using anytype.io (self-hosted) for a month now and it has been amazing.

Using it as a journal, bookmark manager, general note taking, etc...

What limits do you set on yours?

[email protected]

1 gig IIRC

Watch out to enable "keep on delete" features. I didn't do that and didn't see that gigabytes of personal photos got deleted which I had to recover from an old backup. Still don't know how it happened as I only found out a few weeks after the fact.

Sync is not backup! If there's a software bug or a wrong setting sync can delete your files. Syncthing is pretty mature so I doubt this was a Syncthing bug, however you shouldn't only trust Syncthing. I'm doing btrfs snapshots weekly and delete them after three years for important folders nowadays.

When you use the official discord client, it only sends to your device whatever chat channel you have open at the time, and when you click on a different channel, it just downloads the last 20 messages, and downloads more when you scroll etc. If you bridge a discord server to a matrix server, it sends all of the contents of all of the channels in real time across. If the server had 50 channels, bridging it to matrix would be the equivalent of you having 50 official clients open, one to each channel. Hence the additional load on discord’s side to send you a lot more data than they usually would.

(Disclaimer: this is all conjecture based on a general understanding of how the systems work, I could be getting some details wrong)

This is exactly why I’d want a GPU in a home server.

That and transcoding. Wonder what the best option would be without breaking the bank/wasting too much idle power. All the GPU talk online seems to be for gaming.

[email protected]

Thanks for explaining. That makes perfect sense. I was under the impression there might be something else.

I'm not interested in forwarding spam in the first place. I don't think I have any use of channels where messages just fly by... So I think I should be safe.

Yeah I left the massively overpriced closed source YNAB and Actual is actually better.

[email protected]

Are you able to provide a few quick examples? I have it installed but don't know what to do with it really.

The easiest thing: We use a motion sensor to automatically turn on the light for the stairs. You wouldn't need Home Assistant for that, but with a little more configuration you can adjust the light levels and colour temperature based on the time of day (not as disturbing at night). We have two rooms which have problems with humidity in one a fan is automatically turned on (basic) in the other a dehumidifier is triggered based on the outside and inside temperature because there are large windows which are producing a lot of condensation otherwise. Now the really specific stuff: My daughter has Diabetes and we need to manage her blood glucose levels. There are alarms but ideally you would act before they are triggered. So we hooked her blood glucose levels to a light in our bedroom which turns on at night if her levels are getting out of bounds at night. That way she isn't woken by the alarm, but by one of us and can go back to sleep mich quicker.

AFAIK intel arc gpus are pretty good for that.

Background backup works mostly ok. There are times where I need to go to the backup view for it to get going, but those are not that common. The performance is excellent so far
