  Put that mount point into the compose file(s). You can define volumes with type nfs and basically have Docker-Compose manage the mounts.

  But when you report obvious fake accounts that merely exist for 5 days, follow 5000 people already and only have 3 followers themselves but a nice spammy link in their profile, they allegedly don’t violate any terms of services…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Update Digital Picture Frame library remotely?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That probably doesn’t work unless you power-cycle the picture frame after changing the photos.

  I had this with some offline Samsung picture frame and a Transcend WiFi SD card. The SD card runs a small Linux and can be unlocked to add own scripts. I had a script that would rsync files from my storage to the SD. However, while the new files were written to the SD just fine, the picture frame never re-read the list of files from the SD. And after power-cycling, my specific model needed to be turned on manually again. So, that wasn’t a satisfactory solution.

  They’re in the process of getting a proper UK license, though.

  Also, Revolut has a European banking license for some years now.

  And I’m not sure whether, after handing out your 2FA and other security details, your money is still covered under that 85k insurance. I know that German banks have a clause in their contract about this.

  GitHub supports Jekyll page generation. Or at least did this a few years ago.

  And please make sure to also generate an RSS feed for us feed reader users. ;)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Synology/QNAP/Asustor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You might want to look at Terramaster NASes. E.g. their F4-423 is basically an Intel NUC married to a SATA controller. They have an internal USB port where you can pull the OEM flash drive and insert your own, then install e.g. UnRAID or OpenMediaVault on it.

  That will be my next device if my Synology DS415+ finally dies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tenacious iPhone user finally unlocks phone locked for almost a decade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “I have no idea who locked it in 2015,” she said. At that time, the iPhone displayed a message saying it would unlock in 80,000 hours.

  This usually happens when you hand your phone to your toddler.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alternative to Life360?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m using OwnTracks in HTTP mode as I couldn’t be bothered with MQTT. For that, you only need the HTTP(S) endpoint/URL to log to, optionally user credentials and then it’s a “TrackerID”, “UserID” and “DeviceID” so the receiving server knows who’s talking.

  Side note: Traccar uses different ports to receive different protocols. For OwnTracks protocol, the correct port is 5144.

  My OwnTracks configuration is basically like this:

  • TrackerID: 1
  • DeviceID: Phone
  • UserID: mb
  • URL: mytraccarserver.com:5144 (the port itself is HTTP-only IIRC, but I’ve mapped Traefik Proxy in front of it which handles HTTPS)
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alternative to Life360?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  After Google Latitude shut down, I went with OwnTracks logging into the light-weight php-owntracks-recorder.

  I’ve since migrated that to Traccar (normally used for car fleet management) on server-side and am still using OwnTracks to push the location updates from my iPhone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Virgin Media Warns UK Broadband Users Not to Switch Routers Off at Night - ISPreview UK⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  See, in Germany you can buy your own cable modem or fibre endpoint and connect that to the copper wire/fibre line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Virgin Media Warns UK Broadband Users Not to Switch Routers Off at Night - ISPreview UK⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not illegal, but the ISPs are seemingly under no obligation to give you those details. In Germany, there’s the “freedom of routers” embedded in the telco law. So they HAVE to give you everything you need to get your custom router online via their wire/fibre.

  Bridge mode is just using the ISPs router and bridge that into your router. It’s not the same - you still need the ISP’s access device instead of just yours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Virgin Media Warns UK Broadband Users Not to Switch Routers Off at Night - ISPreview UK⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, after moving from Germany to the UK I was pretty surprised that in the UK you’re not supposed to get this kind of information from your ISP.

  In Germany you can get your own DSL/cable/fibre modem and your ISP has to give you the necessary information to get these devices into their network.

  It was - in the ancient times. Then, there were 3rd party cookies which you had to manually approve upon the initial creation. And then it went all down south and got abused via CDNs and ad networks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting Your iPhone Repaired Could Ban You From Snapchat⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t see what was posted above anymore, but the DeviceCheck API lets app developers store 2 binary digits (that means 4 different states: 00, 01, 10 or 11) per device on Apple’s servers. So, no, these don’t get erased during a Factory Reset as they’re stored on Apple’s servers. But your phone will.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Migrating Mastodon to Pleroma⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you also check out GoToSocial? It’s a very light Mastodon-compatible server, but comes without a user-facing GUI. So you need to use a client app.

  However, I don’t know whether it can be easily migrated to from Mastodon.
