  • [Question] [Project] [Help] What's a good OS for a home server?

    Jump

  • Originally coming from free-level VMware before Broadcom happened, I really like Proxmox. Proxmox gives you a relatively easy to use web interface to "spin up" container services and VMs as needed. There are also community repos with plenty of pre-built containers for popular self-hosting services. I find this setup generally easier to use and maintain than Docker (tho I'm sure die-hard Docker fans heartily disagree). I really appreciate that I can update my services at will without waiting for someone to build an updated docker image first.

  • A good music app for Android TV? [solved]

    Jump

  • FinAmp is a fantastic JellyFin music player, and even supports offline downloads for on the road. Sadly the interface isn't really AndroidTV-friendly, but it works great on android touch screens, iOS, linux, and macOS (probably Windows too, but I'll never know).

    I'm looking for a good AndroidTV player as well, because the official JellyFin app doesn't background well. We like to play music in parallel with a screensaver or fireplace app, but JellyFin pauses after about a minute when hackgrounded.

  • How do you document your setup?

    Jump

  • I run Adguard Home containers (the primary auto-syncs to the secondary) and use redirect filters to assign hostnames to each of my containers. I have a "services" folder of bookmarks for each container host so I don't have to remember each service's port number. I use KeePassXC to track all my passwords and certificates so authentication is a breeze (someday I'll get around to setting up an SSO solution). I also keep a .txt file with my basic network info that doesn't always translate well to dns hostname redirects in adguard. I occassionally remember to update my hosts listed in the file. My individual config files aren't backed up beyond my automated container backups, but so far none of my services have been that complicated I couldn't just rebuild from scratch.

    It's not perfect, but combined with my automated backups I have barely enough to rebuild if/when my hardware fails.

  • Alternatives to unmanic & tdarr?

    Jump

  • As far as I could tell: yes, and yes.

  • Alternatives to unmanic & tdarr?

    Jump

  • I wonder if this post has anything to do with the unmanic API outage earlier today, lol. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I'd done wrong until I finally convinced myself there must be a cloud-side outage impacting the plugin browser. By the time I figured it out they came back online and the plugins were browsable again, but I lost hours over this stupid problem.

    Today's outage perfectly illustrated why we choose to self-host in the first place. I too would love to see a completely self-contained foss solution for this service. Some clever shell scripting is probably all you really need to perform automated ffmpeg calls, but individually containerized services are clearly what we all prefer. I do wish I had more time to code...

  • dialhome-study/browser-network-insights: they have played us for absolute fools

    Jump

  • Thanks for sharing! A human-friendly summary of the gist of those results would be super helpful. This looks interesting, and you may have rekindled my interest in LibreWolf over BetterFox-hardened Firefox again, but I'm not entirely clear on what your results mean in human terms.

  • TV and soundbar with local integration

    Jump

  • FYI, you can run LineageOS on your Nvidia Shield. There's a small loss of functionality, but maybe that can be minimized if you install gapps (I didn't, and I still have sufficient functionality to warrant the inconvenience).

  • Anyone managing airtags from Linux?

    Jump

  • afaik airtags are apple-proprietary, so someone would need to reverse-engineer them first. that's probably not a small ask. i haven't personally looked into it though, so here's hoping! 🤞

  • Average Debian system update experience:

    Jump

  • Yup! Kali is a rolling distro built on Debian Testing, not Stable, annual releases. It can be used as a desktop OS, but still has pen testing and other security tools as their main focus

  • check out Floccus to sync your bookmarks across all browsers & devices. It improved my workflow significantly!

  • Marking as read in inbox being weird...

    Jump

  • Yeah, I noticed similar weirdness on iOS. I was just ignoring it cause they already made me happy by fixing an unrelated bug with the preferred default views on dofferent servers (thank you!).

    great app, I bet they'll fix it for ya if you file a bug report. I'm not sure which platform they host the code repo on, but I bet a quick internet search will find it

  • Linux MacBooks & the cursed Broadcom module

    Jump

  • interesting... I was not aware of that. good to know; thank you!

  • Linux MacBooks & the cursed Broadcom module

    Jump

  • yeah, ubuntu's good for that. annual LTS cycles (used by distros like ubuntu and debian) are exactly how to sidestep the issue I'm referring to

  • Linux MacBooks & the cursed Broadcom module

    Jump

  • True. but you have to keep a much closer eye on when it's safe to update. that was my solution while running Debian Sid (unstable) on my other MacBook for awhile (I really wanted KDE 6 before Trixie was officially released), but believe me this approach gets old. I eventually relented and set it to Debian Stable once Trixie was official. I'm looking for a more stable approach to a rolling release cycle that allows the kernel to upgrade when it's available, without also breaking the wifi. another commenter suggested the broadcom module might be replaced by the intel iwd driver, which I definitely need to try.
