When will we ever get the option for a custom search engine? (Safari) in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

@[email protected] It is not ideal, but you can use privacy redirect, an extension to change the search engine

How can you increase the disk capacity on a MiniPC? (social.graves.cl)
 

How can you increase the disk capacity on a MiniPC?

I already have a 2TB SSD but I would like to have a raid of SSD or NVMe, but I'm not sure what is the best solution for MiniPCs

Any experience with a similar problem?

I have a Kasa HS210 3-way switchm but it has started to fail... maybe it is related to the fact that I blocked the DNS entries to tp-link servers, but every a few days it restarts it self. (social.graves.cl)

Do you have a recommendation of a local-only 3-way switch that is HomeAssistant friendly (and hopefully not super expensive)?

When I open a file Jellyfin always shows "fetching additional data". in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

@[email protected] the server has been there for ages, but I added new content, which has been scanned weeks ago. It only happens when I play it, so that is why I'm curious.

In particular I was wondering if that will happen if running a server without internet: Will it fail fetching whatever data is fetching in that case? If it the subtitles for example? If so, I'd like to download the additional data while I still have Internet access, but without having to click every single file.

Is there a way to do that before opening a file, ideally for all files?

How do unpitched percussion instruments not have a pitch and how does whatever noise they produce not potentially create dissonance with the music they complement? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (3 children)

@[email protected] percussion have a pitch. I don't know about drums, but cymbals pitch is super high, so I guess it is not easy for our brains to translate into a note, so no disonance

@[email protected] Navidrome supports multiple users. The issue for you is to merge collections, then?

Self hosting is hard. How do you overcome? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

@[email protected] I think we need to accept that unless self-hosting is your full time job, things can and will break. At some point you have to accept it and let it go.

Finally I know when I die, my spouse won't take care of my homelab and servers, all of it will go to the recycler.

Self hosting kids-friendly multiplayer games on Raspberry Pi 4 (social.graves.cl)
 

Self hosting kids-friendly multiplayer games on Raspberry Pi 4

I'm working on a little project and I would like to have some multiplayer game that I can play with the kids. Ideally they should be little kids friendly, so no doom or quake.

I tried Minecraft, bedrock but the latency over wifi (and it needs to be over wifi for my project) is really bad.

In an ideal situation, I'd like to have one or more games that
- Can be played in multiplayer mode
- Ideally you only need the browser
- Is relatively lightweight, so can be run on a Raspberry Pi with Wifi

Any suggestions besides the one I mentioned? Maybe some emulator that can be used? Thanks!

Question about replacing/expanding a disk (social.graves.cl)
 

Question about replacing/expanding a disk

I have a small mini pc as server similar to [1], which has a super nice small form and has an internal slot for a 2.5" ssd disk. Currently I have a 2TB SSD, but it is filling up rapidly.

My options are:

  1. Buy a way more expensive 8TB SSD and replace the existing one
  2. Buy a much cheaper 8TB HDD + enclosure and connect it via USB.

I wonder what are the pros and cons of each option. I like 1 more because the form factor of the homelab is maintained and I don't need to plug yet another thing. OTOH I'm allergic to spending money 😆 so a cheaper solution (about 4 times cheaper) is always welcome.

Maybe I'm missing a third alternative? Opinions?

Syncing password between firefox clones (social.graves.cl)
 

Syncing password between firefox clones

I use floorp at home and firefox at work and I would like to sync password between those in a self-hosted way. I saw some mozilla server code somewhere to do so, but seems abandoned.

I would prefer a native mozilla-like solution instead of installing an extension, but if nothing else, that is also an alternative... suggestions?

Question about #restic

Currently I'm backing up my personal computer on a local server and a remote repository. The easiest solution is to have a cronjob for 2 processes. However, I'm wondering if it is possible to scan the files only once and send the backup updates to both repositories instead of doing two scans... suggestions?

Tips to overcome work-related overthinking? (social.graves.cl)
 

Tips to overcome work-related overthinking?

I’ve been more and more stressed out about work during weekends; I tend to think a lot about the things I couldn’t finish this week and how to tackle them in the upcoming week. I’ve been getting obsessed to the point I really don’t enjoy weekends and I can’t relax.

It would be unfair to blame external pressures, it is just me overthinking.

What are your strategies to avoid this?

Firefox alternatives

I'm thinking of switching to some Firefox alternative, but there are too many. So far, I'm thinking of Floorp, Waterfox or LibreWolf, but it is hard to decide on one specifically. Is there are suggestion in terms of privacy, security, maintanability, etc?
