  • Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material

    Jump

  • Its comical that in the last 25 years Linux has gone from a nerd-only tool to something that a 10 year old can install on an air-fryer and still we deal with this bs

  • Self-Hosted podcast has announced that episode 150 is their last.

    Jump

  • I'm really going to miss Self-Hosted, it brought a community of us weirdos together. I hope someone fills the vacuum left after ep. 150

  • They've critiqued themselves on this. None of us are completely pure. At least they have an active matrix channel

  • DAE feel like DuckDuckGo is now just as good as google for the vast majority of searches?

    Jump

  • I feel like its better than google. I switched to DDG a couple years ago. 6 months ago I did a trial run with a self hosted search that only used google as a back end, the results felt like garbage

  • Android Self hosting

    Jump

  • I have two TV boxes, one is a Raspberry pi 4, the other is a pi 5. I installed KonstaKANG's android port for the Pi's. Depending on your familiarity with flashing the Pi's this video from Explaining Computers offers a way to get Konsta installed through PINN. Once they're up and running they act just like a cellphone. This remote works really well.

    Install f-droid, and/or obtainium, and/or Aurora Store and you can install whatever apps you want on the box.

    I don't personally use Chromecast, so I can't vouch for that working. Mine is more centered around consuming Jellyfin (jellyfin android tv app), youtube (newpipe), podverse, and Radiodroid

    I really liked Kodi, but could never get it to correctly sync across devices so I finally went the android route. I've been pretty happy

    Feel free to pick my brain if you have more questions

  • Android Self hosting

    Jump

  • I dont think I so much want this for my phone as for my homemade AndroidTV boxes. Losing the Linux functionality after switching from Kodi/libreelec had been my biggest pain point.

    Can't wait to see my TV boxes show up in my Beszel dashboard!

  • Help setting up OpenWRT for extra router

    Jump

  • I agree about the USB Ethernet dongle. Unless you only require short distance wifi range (eg hotel room temp router) the radio in the pi isn't going to be enough

    I built a pi4 router a few years ago, and it's still running great, I recommend the project. But unfortunately I can't find the HOWTO and it was before I started taking good notes. I assume your current router is a phone company supplied modem/router?

    My setup is cable modem-->pi router-->switch--> old netgear router in Access point only mode

    Being that your router/modem is upstream of router, I'm not sure if you could pass-through the WAN to the pi router, and pass back the LAN to the router/modem for the wifi... maybe someone on here can shed some light?

  • Ohhh that's why you run actions in Parallel

    Jump

  • OK daddd (or mommm) it probably is time for me to test my backups haha

  • Ohhh that's why you run actions in Parallel

    Jump

  • Yes this is in addition to the normal alarm. The light is incase I'm sleeping, as I may not hear the basement alarm going off. The notification is if I'm not home.

  • Self Hosting Fail

    Jump

  • This thought came to me this morning. I have 4 machines both because the BEAST grows organically, and because we're always trying to avoid that single point of failure. Then a scenario comes along that makes you question your whole way of thinking, diversifying may actually create more problems

  • Self Hosting Fail

    Jump

  • I didn't mean to imply that Services actually broke. Only that they didn't come back after a reboot. A clean reboot may have caused some of the same issues because, I'm learning as I go. Some services are restarted by systemctl, some by cron, some....manual. This is certainly a wake up call that I need standardize and simplify the way the services are started.

  • Me: Hovering mouse over the update button Click it!!

    Also me: No no, it says right in the changelog that this is one of biggest releases ever, wait for a point release

    Me again: but you can make the "sleep time" automation say Goodnight after it runs!!!!!!

  • Share your favorite automations

    Jump

  • The problem with a good running automation is you end up used to them, I forget they're even there most if the time.

    I end up appreciating my once-in-awhile automations more. A couple times a month I need to get up extra early, skip my normal routine and go straight to work. But I'm American, this can't be done without coffee. The night before I prepare the coffee maker and scan an NFC on the top that turns off the plug and waits for my next alarm, then turns it back on. Once it runs it disables the automation, so I dont accidently burn the house down. Worth a million bucks

    In the summer in the northeast US most evenings are cool enough to sleep with just a fan in the window. For the nights that stay too warm past bedtime I scan an NFC on my AC that triggers an automation to shutoff the AC and turn on the window fan at a specified outdoor temp. Saves on electricity and who doesn't love fresh air??

  • Gentle reminder to everyone that support for #windows10 ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  • I'm sorry, what?....Oh, all I heard was that my linux home server is going to be running on new hardware in about a year and a half when all these used computers go on sale. 😁

  • How do you organize your HA devices

    Jump

  • Yes! Especially automations! I would rather have tags than folders, so an automation could fit into more than one category (eg. Location, action) but I'd take anything over alphabetical!!
