- Comment on What is the current state of Matrix? 1 week ago:
In practice, who do you know that’s using it and doesn’t run Arch, by the way?
Well I mostly run Debian, but I do have arch on a machine so maybe I don’t count.
It’s that they’re not designed for non-technical users.
Have to agree there, it takes some effort if you’re setting it up for friends and family.

Xmpp supports group chat, 1:1 messaging, you’ve got webtrc support for voice/video, and its extensible.
Jingle even has screen sharing (and I think a WIP remote control function).
What is missing from xmpp?
- Comment on I'm "use NFS forfilesharing old." what's the current optimal solution for shared drives if I have like 3 linux machines in the house? 2 weeks ago:
Only windows devices (laptop I use for work stuff). The other laptops are Linux (NFS) or Chromebooks (for the kids, no access).
Devices don’t really leave often (aside from mine), so not much of an issue. If the NAS is offline, not much else would be going on either.
- Comment on This was a big deal. You could play a game on your cell phone 2 weeks ago:
iirc on the 3310 you needed Nokia’s logo manager software
The one I really enjoyed was the 8110? I think. The one that was in the matrix with the slider. That one was a ton of fun to customize, different rings depending on the group (family, friends, etc)

I’m at the same age - just to mention, samba is nowhere near the horror show it used to be. That said, I use NFS for my Debian boxes and mac mini build box to hit my NAS, samba for the windows laptop.

- Comment on Help me decode this Beko error code 2 weeks ago:
Unfortunately the closest I’ve found was this one where the unit on the right on the first page looks like the right model, but it doesn’t say your model specifically unfortunately.

This is only the user manual, but hopefully it helps:
- Comment on Help me decode this Beko error code 2 weeks ago:
User manual seems to be pretty readily available online, looks like the 51420 and 51220 have the same user manual. Unfortunately I didnt see the service manual in a quick search.
The only hints I did see (and it wasn’t explicit or I would have screenshot it for you) were around under voltage causing it to blink,the door lock not working correctly, and the drain as you mentioned.
So what may be worth checking is that the electrics all have a good physical connection (and if you have a multimeter, even better to verify stable voltage), checking the fuses, and checking that the door lock is operable.
Is there any noise to speak of, like the door lock clicking?
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 2 weeks ago:
If we could have a solidly performing Linux mobile that has the capability of docking into a full desktop OS, that shit would be an absolute game changer for personal computers.
Give me something like the OG Moto Droid, or hell make it a tablet and I have to carry a bag, I don’t care.
That would be my device for everything. I just remote into everything else anyway.
- Comment on Self-hosting Odoo ERP for small business - bad idea? 3 weeks ago:
Its perfectly viable to run your support software on your own hardware (whether local or VPS).
I do this for myself, as well as for companies sized from 50-5000 (roughly). Larger ones deploy off my specs. The question to me is what is the plan around it. How will backups be handled? What if it goes offline due to a hardware failure? Do you have backups in place? A cold or hot spare? Multiple machines in an HA configuration? Do you need to go to that level if there is an outage?
I also prefer to make use of solutions with a support model that allows for locally hosted, but has a phone number that can be called. Part of this is because I don’t want to field all these calls, part of it is for the comfort of the client that they have a number they can call (or a dedicated email, whatever, the point is a support contact not how they are contacted), and part of it is to support the project.
My wife has a (small) business, I have a small business, and I work for a consulting firm (design and engineering). All three make use of on-prem f/loss, all three pay support fees to those projects who do that (and random annual contributions where possible to those that don’t).
So the short answer is: Figure out your requirements and your disaster recovery scenarios, then figure out what option works best for your needs from there. Cloud, VPS, or internally hosted are all viable, and all come with their own pluses and minuses.
- Comment on What do you use for music library streaming? 3 weeks ago:
Personally I just run both.
Navidrome is what I would call the daily driver, but since its just a share that JF can also see, for TV playback its JF just like you.
But I’m also a stickler for metadata so I don’t often run into issues. When I do see something come up thats not right, I correct manually. Which wasn’t happening very often until lidarr had the metadata issue with musicbrainz, though the past few months its been a manual effort.

shrug or they want to use it as a private server, couldn’t tell you.
Just pointing to the server source as you can run the server self hosted.

Just used it to import a recipe, tweak it, and then I made it. Big fan of mealie.
I bet it would do a decent job of parsing those text files.
- Comment on Homarr - A modern and easy to use dashboard. 30+ integrations. 10K+ icons built in. Authentication out of the box. No YAML, drag and drop configuration. 4 weeks ago:
Same, homarr is decent but I prefer my configs, quick edits from whatever device is in hand, easy peasy.
- Comment on Setting up a server for a research team. What should be in my checklist? 4 weeks ago:
The biggest pain is that its apple silicon, which limits what’s built for it.
Depending on what its doing, you may need to build dependencies from source. You also may have to use some mac-specific tools to download pre-builts and to do builds.
In some cases, it may be better to run a VM with Linux and forge on ahead, but its really going to depend on what tasks the server is handling.

I dont know about staying afloat, its just the one kind of can thats been under $1.
That said, yeah they definitely have less wiggle than they used to. It also goes to show how much they were making on that 99 cent can back in the 90s.
- Comment on Shit's getting real 5 weeks ago:
The practices of buying goods for production? That some resources (aluminum) exist in other parts of the world? That others (tea) are better produced in a different climate?
What the hell are you even talking about?
- Comment on Shit's getting real 5 weeks ago:
Complicit in… Importing goods that aren’t made in the US or have a substantially more limited supply?
What are you saying they are complicit in here, trade with other companies?
- Comment on Shit's getting real 5 weeks ago:
And the costs are not high for the tea itself, which is my point. Its hard to say exactly which supplier, what component of flavoring, etc would be an issue for costs that caused an increase (or if they just wanted to use it as an excuse).
Point is, it doesnt matter why. There are lots of imports for various materials for functionally any company in the US.
- Comment on Shit's getting real 5 weeks ago:
Why are they using anything imported anyways?
Could be just aluminum for the cans, doesnt have to be that they are importing anything just that suppliers are.

- Comment on Microsoft no longer permits local Windows 10 accounts if you want Consumer Extended Security Updates — support beyond EOL requires a Microsoft Account link-up even if you pay $30 5 weeks ago:
Depends on what you’re looking for, for some fields there are fantastic options already.
The others… Well considering the trajectory I’m seeing now (as a multiple decade Linux user), I think a lot more will start building for it. Maybe one flavor to start, but I do think it will be much more common.
I’m seeing it with some of my clients already.
- Comment on Leaving GitHub. Music server alternatives? 5 weeks ago:
Each instance becomes a pod, users on pod A can find content thats on pod B. This includes both actors (users) and library objects (audio content), ordered collections (playlists), etc.
- Comment on Leaving GitHub. Music server alternatives? 5 weeks ago:
… Have you reached out to the devs/maintainers of the projects to find out what their plans are going forward?
Because you may be completely dismissing projects that are in the process (whether its early planning or otherwise) of moving to codeberg or something.
Or even expressed any of your concerns to the devs?
