  • Hows Volumio These Days?

  • So, that would play music on the client? Ie your phone? Or can it play through a local DAC too?

  • Hows Volumio These Days?

    Jump

  • Ok, not heard of Moode. The website looks interesting, I'll check it out, thanks!

  • Hows Volumio These Days?

    Jump

  • Ah, interesting, so you can use mopidy with HA? Interesting... not thought of that connection.

    I have the Volumio integration with HA, but I've not looked at it recently.

    Thanks

  • I remember trying piCorePlayer when I was considering alternatives to Volumio3 and - from memory - the UI was a bit weird?

    Like, it started in one UI, but then you had to do a few things to get to another?

    But, ok, I'll take another look as I'd forgotten about it. Thanks

  • What are the best foss note taking apps?

  • For me, Logseq does a really good job, but I'm finding it difficult to keep track of ToDos and silverbullet just seems like it's a bit simpler and could do everything I need

    I'm also seeing Logseq head towards a database-first version, which I'm not a fan of, so wanted to try other markdown file-first options before / if I have to jump ship

    However, Silverbullet's learning curve is much steeper than Logseq's.

  • The open web isn't dying. We're killing it

    Jump

  • Yeah, an interesting piece.

    As someone who's seen the internet arrive, watched the various battles (best seen on Internet Explorer at 640x320) and tried all the latest things (why use gopher when google can search immediately), then I do think it started out well

    But, yep, I've also seen the effects when the bills needed paying and realising that just taking things that are "free" without giving anything back is unsustainable.

    That's why I contribute when & where I can... Arch Wiki, Open Street Map, a few payments to developers and independant media sources, helping others...

    But it takes some effort and I get it, not everyone has the same priorities. Yet.

  • What are some alternatives to the oral-b electric tooth brush?

    Jump

  • I use a special kind of wooden stick with some fibres which clean my teeth.

    No battery, phone app, or massive landfill of small mechanical toothbrush parts.

    Edit: although I could also try the whiskey option...

  • rsync - same application version, but different protocol versions?

    Jump

  • I could not for the life of me make the ethernet transfer speeds be more than somewhere around 1-5 MiB/s

    That's probably a physical cable issue.

    Check the connectors and / or different cables.

    It's esp. more important for 1Gbps connections as they're more sensitive than 100Mbps

  • Syncthing and anything that can work with plain text / markdown files

    I'm using Logseq on 2 laptops, but the Android app slows down when you have several years of daily journal pages linked to hundreds of other content pages, so it's fine for personal stuff (aka graph), but slows down too much for my work stuff (graph)

    So for my phone I'm often just using Markor to edit a journal page as it's faster (it doesn't have to find all the links)

  • What are the best foss note taking apps?

    Jump

  • Are you using it for journalling? Ie start each day on a new dated page?

    I'm trying to move from Logseq to Silverbullet as it feels like the right thing to do, but the learning curve is like slamming into a brick wall.

  • What are the best foss note taking apps?

    Jump

  • Yep, me too.

    When I stepped into my current job Logseq literally saved me from going mad / burnout.

    A few years in though and the (lack of) Todo management is causing me trouble as the tasks still slip through my fingers...

  • What are the best foss note taking apps?

  • Tried silverbullet?

    I'm slooowwwllllyyy trying to transition from Logseq, but, yeah... not sure

  • How was your week?

    Jump

  • 10 days of work in 8...

    Kinda forgot that Easter's a bit more than a normal Bank Holiday weekend, so nipped down to B&Q, wondered why the carpark was so empty, walked up to the door... ah... closed.

    Ok, I'll nip over to Tesco's... ah... closed...

    Apart from that... no rain today! 🎉🥳

    And.. yours?

  • What's your favorite well-designed CLI and why?

    Jump

  • Ok, fair point

  • Conditional triggers?

    Jump

  • If I've understood @surewhynotlem@lemmy.world correctly, this won't need 2 automations

    When you exceed a max, I presume you're triggering the AC to heat / cool, at this point you'd also set the "dontlogthisagain" boolean.

    Then, when you'd reached the correct temp range, then you can turn off the AC and reset the "dontlogthisagain" boolean.

    The conditional statements would then be "(is the temp outsode of range) AND (dontlogthisagain=True)"

    You'd need to check the logic is the right way around there, but - in my head - thst should work.

    Edit: actually, thinking anout this some more, you might not need the boolean, you could use the on/off state of the AC unit itself

  • [Discussion] My thoughts about the usability of Linux

    Jump

  • Ahhh, well spotted

  • What device are you guys hosting on?

    Jump

  • Ah, ok.

    Yep, I'm in a similar situation... I have a few VMs, but not enough for lots of failover infrastructure... (redundant switches, etc)

    I was thinking you might be just cloning 1 device to the other or something.

  • What device are you guys hosting on?

    Jump

  • It's now running as a VM in ProxMox on a pair of Lenovo M710q mini PCs

    So, have you got High Availability setup? If so, I'd like to know more about that part...

  • I didn't find a self-hosted backup manager that fit my needs so I built one: Arkeep [v0.1.0-beta]

    Jump

  • Yeah, this is what I'd like clarified too

    Am I just setting up a schedule on the server and then pushing out config to the other devices and can then shut down the server? (For example)

    Where do I need to install restic?

    Is this local only or to an offsite (Hetzner) location?
