Yeah, I installed it again yesterday…

Seems really unintuitive after the initial setup steps (which do a good job of walking you through the initial setup), so I did bork it up once.

I think the hardest point for me is that it’s based on Tiny Core Linux, so I can’t install anything else (ie even tmux), so I’m having issues with getting the touchscreen working.

I’ll try Moode today…

Kindof, if I understand correctly, that’s part of piCorePlayer:

docs.picoreplayer.org/components/

TBH, when I tried piCorePlayer a few years ago, it felt like a bunch of things duct-taped together, so I don’t really know which bits were which… maybe I’ll try lyrion separately…

Fuuuukkkk…

Longer uptime than you’d been alive!

I just hope you’ve got backups 🙂

Seriously though, we found an old Dell server at work that hadn’t been rebooted for years.

We knew that it was fine whilst it was running, but the stress of a reboot would finish it off with all those POST fan speed tests, RAID array tests, etc.

We took as much data off it that we thought might be relevant and rebooted it.

1 drive failed immediately. 1 fan must’ve had all the dust as that blew out a cloud during the fullspeed test.

A few days later more drives started failing and it just gradually died.

It was actually a sad day when we powered it off for the last time. 🥲

I’m kinda overlapping with a few other comments here, but perhaps adding a little…

As others have said, getting something down is the main point, so I keep everything in Logseq markdown files. The instantaneous ability to create links between topics means that I can write a note about installing [[X]] and then realise I should mention I had to update the [[DHCP]] and [[DNS]] entries… job done.

I try to automate things in Ansible and put rough notes and URLs I was following in the ansible file. I recently setup an old Ras Pi 1 B+ as a NUT server and the instructions on 1 site didn’t work correctly, so I just threw links into the comments and mentioned it in Logseq… next year I’ll visit it all again and maybe improve the notes.

I also have a DEATH.txt file which my partner knows where to look… that gives them a high-level overview of what’s going on, where the keepass and logseq files are, etc. Maybe they’ll understand, but our friends will be able to help… just in case…

I moved from Backblaze to a Hetzner storagebox, to backup my Arch (btw) NAS.

Simpler to work with and cheaper.

+1 for XMPP

I’m currently using a public server until I get my own (Raspberry Pi) server running

Never had a missed notification / message and video calls are great too… even Grandma can use it

Using Conversations (Android) and Monal (ios)

Not tried beets (this thread only now made me aware of it), but adding a +1 for Picard

I let it run on a huge chunk of my music and apart from a few tracks it thought should be in compilation albums, worked really well.

After the big sift, I basically just run it on new stuff when I get it…

Sometimes I use Puddletag to fine-tune some data.

I find most new things I get from Bandcamp, etc are in MusicBrainz, so not much editing required… although I have spent some time over the years carefully entering some older, more obscure music.

Logseq OG will continue to be maintained. It will receive security and Electron (the cross-platform software framework) upgrades, but no new features.

Doesn’t seem like it 😮‍💨

I don’t want a DB version as I’m modifying the .md files outside of logseq, so I’ll be hanging on to it as long as I can.

Wow. Thanks for the detailed breakdown, that’ll take me a while to work through!

I was looking into this recently and un-convinced myself that rsync was handling all the symlinks and permissions correctly.

What’s your command options? I was using -Prvtz for ages, then thought I needed an Aa too (from memory)

And, to be fair, you’ll know more about your setup when you don’t use the defaults as you have to learn more…

Nice. Thanks for the info on the fans

I guess you’re running the Fohdeesha firmware, I’ll have to look into this a little more…

Thanks

OT, but how are the Ruckus switches?

I’m using 2nd hand Ruckus WAPs with the Unleashed firmware and they’re great

Yep, esp. as the Immich team (and most likely others) should be using automation for their builds anyway…

Which distro are you using?

My NAS is running Arch (btw) and I have Immich installed baremetal because someone’s nicely maintaining it in the AUR… would need a little work to convert that script into something for another distro…

They don’t seem to be very accurate, or check availability… Amazon.com for ~$5 ?

Yeah, a long time ago I started blocking outbound traffic to all but our laptops and it’s interesting how many things work perfectly well, but continually try to get out… the SolarPv inverter is VERY persistent to get to China due to an overly helpful installer setting it up on the wifi.

I now have a firewall alias to only allow certain devices out and then just update that alias, do whatever (usually updates) and then revert the alias.

Give New Pipe and / or PipePipe a go, I use them to download just the audio from youtube (can do the video too of course…)

I also use Ghost Commander and Material Files to help organise files…

All of these are on F-Droid if you wanted to try them out.

Ah, that I don’t know.

I spend a lot of time listening to a “Live” stream and that doesn’t seem to have thst problem… but if I listen to a playlist, yeah I have that problem.

However, I often have to stop to speak to someone / get coffee, so that seems to reset the timer so it’s not toooo bad for me

At work, youtube with ublock origin, adblock plus, etc, preventing the ads

Sometimes I’ll stream stuff from bandcamp

On the move, the SD card in my phone (with pairdrop.net to upload albums) playing through VLC

Valid point, although OP doesn’t state CGNAT is in the way…

No love for VNC here?

The remote user can even download & run a reverse VNC which connects back to the helper.

Cross-platform…

TBH, I haven’t done a full-bore up/download.

I limit my backup bandwidth as the deltas don’t take long and they can upload during the day

I also don’t have a Gb internet connection, so I could only max at ~80Mb (down) anyway

I moved from a Backblaze B2 bucket to a Hetzner storagebox and haven’t looked back.

Lower cost and - for me - just easier to use, so, better for restores.

I can’t help with your error messages, but I’m presuming you’re just restoring a backup of data you still have? If so, just upload to Hetzner and start again.

“Ask partner out on date, and check their wardrobe to suggest an outfit for the outing”

Yeah, that’s probably about right 😁

Yeah, I’m kinda, open wardrobe door, grab what looks about right for today, done.

But.

I can see another use case here…

• Partner "has nothing to wear"
• Mentions buying more clothes
• I open app, scroll, demonstrate how long the scrolling is still going for.
• Win argument.
• Purchase beer with saved money
• (pass some to devs for assisting)

… because? … or, instead, do…?

Nice wiki

Didn’t know about infCloud… thanks
