- Comment on What are some of your favourite lesser known awesome lists that are useful for selfhosting? 1 week ago:
I like browsing the repository at www.linuxserver.io from time to time. Since they only make docker images for popular projects, it’s a good way to see a more curated list of what people are using instead of getting lost in giant lists of open source projects.

My domain is still set to a former address of mine and I never bothered to update it fifteen years later.
You could provide an address for your registration… sometimes people make typos.
If there’s truly an audit or verification it’ll be easier to explain a typo than why you said you live at “123 Eat Shit Ave”.

- Comment on Docker is renaming a mounted drive 5 weeks ago:
So is the issue that your extra drive mounts to /storage, but that happens after Docker has already started and taken over the directory, so the mount fails? Normally I’d expect it to happen in the other order. Is this a weird race condition?
This might be a good thing to run through with ChatGPT- there are probably ways to delay the Docker container start, but maybe there’s a more significant misconfiguration you can deal with.
- Comment on Docker is renaming a mounted drive 5 weeks ago:
Is Docker starting up and one of the containers mounts a volume to a /storage folder on the host? That could explain it but I’m not super clear on all that’s going on in your system.
Quick test: disable auto start on all your containers and restart and see if it recurs.

That’s too early. Should be delaying that a bit so the cord blood drains first.

If I were in a fire and suffocating and somehow had a long tube in a bathroom, I think I’d stick the hose out the window and breathe that water instead.
And if I found myself:
- trapped in a bathroom
- suffocating due to smoke from a fire
- i have a long flexible tube
- no windows in the bathroom AND
- I’m somehow not going to burn to death
Then I’ll just fucking die. It’s fine. That’s such an edge case I’m not gonna worry about it.

My condo building just got rid of the company that meters our water. After years of this we could finally break the contract.
My water bill usage was something like $15/mo and they had an admin fee of $13/mo. In a building of like 150 apartments, those guys were raking in like $2k a month from us for keeping their automated shit plugged in.
The managers said they would just stop metering and our monthly fees would pay the bill. After a year, they would adjust our monthly rates to balance it out.
They never had to balance it out - that’s how little the overall water usage cost was.

I dunno for sure but I feel like you should decide which one you’re gonna do before you start setting up. Especially if you’re DIYing it on the floor.
- Comment on What are some cool projects that I can do with a 1st gen Raspberry Pi? 2 months ago:
Take a look at the Linuxserver Docker images. They curate a huge list of self hosted apps that is great to browse and look for ideas.
That Pi is too old to handle any media tasks (like running a Jellyfin server), but for any low intensity duties it’s still perfectly usable.

- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 months ago:
Read the email again. The key word in their marketing slop is “alternatively”. You have a Plex Pass and are the server admin. Your users need to do nothing.
Unfortunately, that does mean I have to respond to messages from all my users asking what that email means and convince them they can just ignore it.
A second “nice” part of this change is that iOS users no longer have to buy the Plex app on the App Store to stream longer than a minute. The app is only like 5 bucks one time, but it was a barrier when trying to convince stubborn people to just fucking TRY my Plex server.

- Comment on Video transcoding web interface (self hosted) 2 months ago:
I feel sick saying it, but I think this is a project you could complete with AI. It sucks ass at understanding complex problems, but it’s good at cranking out small scripts to integrate tools together.
You basically just want a wrapper around ffmpeg with a light web interface to handle upload, script execution, and download.
LLMs are pretty good at spitting out a simple web interface that runs in a barebones server like Express or nginx.
If you don’t need to worry about security or accessibility or any “not on the critical path” concerns, this could probably work after a few iterations.
As for anything already out there - I’ve never come across anything. The closest app I can think of is TDARR which is intended to automatically transcode your media library to h265. That wraps up some of the ffmpeg stuff you want, but doesn’t address the upload/download half of the workflow.

- Comment on I don’t know what to do with this coworker. 3 months ago:
Nursing is a little different from most kinds of work environments, but not that different.
I think there’s 2 halves to unpack here. One is her ability and the other is her attitude. If someone is getting along in their career and has trouble hustling around on their feet for 8 or 12 hours, I get it. They can move slower or take longer sitting breaks when there’s no patient in dire need. That’s why people work on teams.
But then there’s the attitude part. Are other nurses dealing with her patients on the regular? Is she ignoring call bells? Is she never making any effort to help a fellow nurse when they’re swamped? Then we have a problem.
Like you said, you’re new and it’s not the time to go in guns blazing. Your reputation doesn’t mean shit for a while now, but I don’t think that means you should just suck it up and do your job in spite of it.
I would mention it casually to your manager. Not as a complaint (see: your reputation doesn’t mean shit), but as a casual concern. “I didn’t want to say anything to X, but I’ve been noticing since I started that she seems to really struggle to deal with her patient load.” Whether you try to frame that along with “how can I help?” or something else is up to you.
The main thing you want to take away is:
- your manager has been informed by you that you’ve seen a problem with this nurse
- you documented the conversation if it was in person
- you’re keeping notes on your coworker when something unacceptable happens.
These sorts of dramas play out slowly. The best thing you can do is collect information you can refer back to later in case things take a twist.
I can’t tell you how many times in my life an employee has become “a problem” in management’s eyes, but we’re starting at 0 because nobody ever complained or documented any of the issues that were going on for YEARS.

- Comment on HDD Data Recovery Options? 3 months ago:
This happened to me once and I completely overthought it.
In my case, I removed the PCB from the drive and took a close look and saw a single scorched IC that I figured was the problem. I think it was a voltage regulator or something like that.
So I bought a scrap drive and tried to transplant the PCB onto my dead drive, but of course that wouldn’t be able to read my old data.
So took it into a local electronics repair shop and asked if he’d be able to make it work.
He took one look at the damaged PCB, pushed the scrap one back at me and said “yeah I’ll just replace this part.”
40 bucks later I had a working drive again and was able to rescue the data.
