Software developer in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Dad to 2 kids.
Find me on the Fediverse in other places:
The first thing I do when researching a new electronic thing is to search “[brand] home assistant” to see if there is already an integration for their stuff. If not, I usually keep looking.
Bookstack is what I self host, but this is the best pure markdown editor I’ve found: https://markdownlivepreview.com/
Oh, I fully blame HP for this, but I am also just asking the question. Now that you mentioned colouring pages, I remember that I used a printer pretty heavily while my kids were home during quarantine.
For the odd time I have to print something, it’s more worth my while to just go to Staples or whatever and get it printed for me there.
The only other thing I cam remember printing in the near term has been amazon return labels.
Somebody tell me again why we, as a society, still print things? Other than publishing, why do we need printers?
I just use Navidrome’s web client. It does everything I need. DSub on Android.
I am using a normal desktop case with an external usb-c 8-bay JBOD drive enclosure from Mediasonic. I’m using mdadm to combine the drives with RAID-6. I know I’m not getting the performance that I could with native SATA, but it can still saturate my 1Gbps network, so it’s good enough for serving video, audio, and some other web-based apps.
I have investigated many, many subsonic compatible apps for one as full featured as DSub. Tempo looks great, but does it have Chromecast and Android Auto clients? Those are both necessities for me.
The fact that DSub has all of these and hasn’t really been in active development for years speaks volumes about its quality.
I will keep a close eye on Tempo, though!
Facebook can get fucked. They offer even less to me than YouTube.
I could honestly care less about the video games, but the Bandcamp news is devastating. Is there anywhere else where you can buy lossless DRM-free music?
Plot twist: they’re allergic to nuts and this was attempted murder.
Ha! I love “lappy-386”. I miss Strongbad emails. Especially the Halloween ones. And Trogdor.
I think you all just have weak thumbs. I’ve always opened them just as the package says to. Never had a problem.
As a kid, I would have thumb wrestling matches with my older brother, and sometimes, on weekends, I’d hitchhike. I used my thumbs a lot. I’ve had to replace 4 space bars on my keyboard.
Never skip thumb day.
+1 for long-ass backup script. First dump the databases with the appropriate command. Currently, I have only MariaDB and Postgres instances. Then, I use Borg to backup the database dumps and the docker volumes.
Database SQL dumps compress very well. I haven’t had any problems yet
