• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has anyone migrated from a Markdown notes app to another?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You are welcome. Regarding the weird link form, I think its mainly because this is open source project. Somebody is working on it in their free time, maybe there are some money involved, but these kind of projects use to be a one man show, or a small group and you have to do a developer, architect, ux and design, tester and more. And everything is self managed, so it happens some things are not ideal. And look at their github, there is currently 530 active issues, there are probably other priorities than redesigning linking to make it a bit more interoperable… It is what it is. I like Joplin because I am free to sync it the way I want to (syncthing) and the export to md, in rare cases I am sharing my notes is good enough. Plus decent mobile app and browser extension to essentially snip parts of pages right to my notes. I see myself migrating maybe (big MAYBE) if proton integrates standard notes into the ecosystem. Big big maybe.

  Got it. I don’t know Logseq, I will check it out, thanks for the tip. A few notes regarding Joplin (some of which I already stated above)

  • you can link between notes and add plugin to see the graph. To get a note link, click on it with right button and there is an option to copy a link to that note.
  • joplin actually store the notes in md. However, if you have encryption turned on, you will of course see gibberish upon openning the file.
  • the wysiwyg (and md as well) works also with shortcuts e.g. ctrl+b
  • Joplin also has table of content plugin, its called “Outline” and its sitting in the right bar. You can add plugins in Tools > Options > Plugins
  • I didn’t check the plugins on android, I don’t use it much there mostly for quick checks :)
  • its hard to find something that fits you 100 %, but you can try make your own, that is how most of the foss projects start :)

  Hi, why are you migrating away from Joplin? Did you know you can use it in non-markdown mode (basically wysiwyg) I found myself to use it more and more. And the md is still underlayed and I can switch to it if I have issues with the editor. You can link between notes too. There is a plugin to see a notes map (kinda like obsidian.

  Sometimes hitting delete is the best thing you can do. Especially bookmarks, how many of them is out of date, or not relevant to you any more. And if you needed some of it, you can find it again. Sure, there is a few things a bit harder to find, but it should take less time than sort through 2k bookmarks. 😀

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The hidden cost of self-hosting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually, that is a thing I like. Going through this stuff can be tedious, but it brings a lots of memories, things that I forgot about, things I once wanted to do. And also, after cleaning my digital life I feel similar as after cleaning in the physical world - good - I did something, I made my world a tad bit more organized and a tad less overwhelming. (I should note that I am lazy and I always must force myself to clean, but I never regret doing that after I start 😀)

  Yeah, totally agree. You know, I would perhaps be even ok keeping the drm, I have been thinking about it the other day. I would have to have a guarantee that I can use it even 50 years from now and it would have to be public, open-source solution, not owned but shaity companies like Adobe, Apple and Amazon (there is really no choice nowadays), who will use this to also track us. Plus, as you say, I want to have a right to pass it onto someone (but more like lend it to a friend, because I can’t imagine somebody caring about inheriting my 50 year old books, really. About the refunds, I think some online stores offer (limited time) refunds and if you buy e.g. physical book, especially in the physical store, you are also very limited when it comes to returns.

  I see, you mean this, I thought there is something new. Thank you for sharing. What I didn’t like about Luise’s contribution to this drama is that he focused solely on LTT’s side and didn’t mention the other side. Because I think both sides made some mistakes.

  Can you tell me more please? Or send a link please? I would like to know what happened, thanks.

  Would you create an api to download an API call?

  What they did to you?

  I think if the ripping includes de-DRM-ing it’s is illegal in a lot of countries. I am not saying it’s right, we should own our own content, I am just saying it as a fact.

  Thanks for sharing this, I am currently looking into these and so far found Dumb Assets and also partially Warracker which is seems to be super active in adding features (but so far is focused mainly on warranties.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So there has to be some trust between you and the cloud provider then. Thank you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Question: if I setup Headscale on my network, I would have to open a port on my router to connect to it right? And also if I setup Headscale with some cloud provider, could they theoretically go and use the setup to get to my home network? I know its unlikely, I just mean if the technology is like e2e from clients to my home network, or if the cloud headscale ‘centre’ would be also an unguarded entry point (from the perspective of cloud admins). I hope I am clear 😀 Thanks (btw you probably guess why I currently use Tailscale 😀)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Classification need with Tailscale, remote access, and local access.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you might also make your tailscale on router an exit node. I remember when I was setting things up for me I had issue like yours, but on the phone. Everything was working when I used data, but when I connected to my local wifi it didn’t see the stuff on subnet ip’s. Setting it as exit node helped. Also make sure everything is approved in your tailscale admin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Backup for important files/pictures?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I use storj. Its well integrated with true nas. And the encrypted files are fragmented, duplicated and scattered around the world. (many people host storj node no their true nas as well).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you actually audit open source projects you download?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here.

  • on the phone I trust F-droid that they have some basic checks
  • I either avoid very small projects or I rifle through the code very fast to see if its calling/pinging something suspicious.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My First Homelab⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have spoken

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My First Homelab⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have recently moved adguard and home assistant to raspberry pi, same reason, though the hass I have moved into docker container with host network in the end. I also installed tailscale directly to have easy setup as an exit node.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Simple NAS hardware for home use?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  (Alternative below) Buy 5 - 7 years old computer with decent specs (i5 i7, 16 gigs ram, don’t care about hard drives but prefer ones with ssd) for about 60 - 100 bucks. Buy 250 gigz+ ssd (if it’s not included) and any desired number and sizes of nas grade drives (this is where you don’t want to save money). Don’t forget UPS! Install TrueNAS. Profit… Ok not profit but enjoy. For movies definitely jellyfin (keep your distance from plex really). Audiobookshelf for audiobooks but also ebooks! Amazing software that one.

  Alt. Buy raspberry pi, two usb hard drives, install open media vault and same apps as above. It’s not as polished as true nas but its cheap and it lets you dip your feet in homelabbing first, in two to three years you will gain experience and vision to do your dream homelab (or at last try 😀) if the pi is not enough.

  I see, I was on that path not long ago, I finally realized I do not need Proxmox and it would create unnecessary complexity for me. In truenas you can install many services (apps), they use docker under the hood, or you can create your own docker app, its much easier to manage. At least for me. I have installed e. g. Jellyfin, audiobookshelf, adguard, home assistant, nginx proxy manager and eveything without a hitch. And by “installed” i mean I found the app in truenas store, hit install and in user friendly form I just assigned a couple of parameters (like storage location). It can even create a dataset for each app for you and you dont have deal with acl and similar. (Although I chpse to handle the datasets myself to have more control over it).

  Yes community edition. If I can recommend do it without proxmox, play with it and then you can decide either way. Good luck!

  They switched kubernetes for docker in 24.10 so it is quite new. And it works realy well. I didn’t have to tweak one thing, I was impressed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday again!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hi, I finally set up tailscale on my raspbery pi, in exit node mode so I have access to my whole network. I also set AdGuard an the very same pi with dhcp. I finally bought home assistant voice device, didn’t arrive yet, but cant wait to experiment with it.

  I still have to setup Authelia for sso, I want to setup a device on my network as a (proton) vpn gateway (zero knowledge right now) and then I want to start learning about pfsense to properly segment my network (into subnets) and have more control.

  I have been using open media vault for years, I switched quite recently to trueNAS and I don’t agree with your statement, trueNAS was easier to setup, with encryption, and is easier to maintain. Installing docker compose apps was a learning on omv, but is so simple on trueNAS for there is plenty of apps out of the box (in the store). And yeah, TrueNAS scale doesn’t use kubernetes, it uses docker now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UPS input load⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good question, how do I access the UPS logs? In TrueNAS (and in home assistant) I just see the measured values.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UPS input load⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ahaa, so what you are saying that me seeing the input load on UPS is not the cause of the measured power consumption but just a “symptom”. That something (be it TrueNAS/rpi/switch) really draws more. How can I do a thorough analysis of what the devices do? Normally I check logs and htop and see they are just chilling. I check cpu, i/o and network and I thought that it should be pretty good indicator of if something is happening. Especially when its 6 Watts more thats like whole another rpi 😀

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UPS input load⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same as above. The TP link that measure the power is plugged into the UPS not the other way around. The UPS is directly in the wall plug. So even if the UPS drawn 100 Watts it shouldn’t show on the TP Link.
