Immich x FUTO Q&A (www.youtube.com)

Short version of this interview is that nothing is changing, other than they’re going to be asking a flat fee “$5-20” for the app, rather than relying on donations. All donation platforms have been closed. However, if you choose not to, as Louis says “that’s between you and your God”....

Cyber,

… searches for “Futa” on company laptop…

Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated?

I recently learned about Home Assistant here on Lemmy. It looks like a replacement for Google Home, etc. However, it requires an entire hardware installation. Proprietary products just use a simple app to manage and control devices, so can someone explain why a pretty robust dedicated device is necessary as a replacement? The...

Cyber,

I think others have generally caught this, but I wanted to simplify the point: the apps on your phone are not controlling your home, a computer is. If you don’t use Google’s, then you’ll need to provide one.

Cyber,

This is a really good point - us “believers” probably don’t glance at the negativity because we know it’s (generally) incorrect, but how others perceive it can be hard to convince if all they read is negativity.

Consider that most people know a laptop runs an OS, so they can distinguish “Dell” from “Microsoft”, so I’m often baffled why people stuggled when moving from WinXP to Vista / 7 (ie a whole new experience… and often asking where to get a hacked version for free), but when I suggest putting <insert distro here> then they run away.

Cyber,

Thank you. I went quite light headed laughing about your statement.

Cyber,

So, Microsoft saved everyone from the bad Linux then?

What do you do for a calendar? New to selfhosting/homelab.

Hey All, I am just getting started in my journey. Part of my goals is to de-google my life and am looking to start with my calendar. I want to to sync with my laptop and my phone. I was going to start reading about nextcould because it seems like it would have the stuff I need and more. My question is what does the community...

Cyber,

+1 for Radicale as a CalDAV server

The calendar on Vivaldi browser is a good enough client for me on a laptop.

I also sync to my phone with DAVx5 and view with fossify calendar from F-Droid

Cyber,

Er. Am I the only one to comment that this is a refreshing change to all the displays in shops, airports, etc that show the many ways that Windows errors and BSODs?

Linux on the desktop? Hell no, it’s on 80’ billboards.

(It’s not Arch btw)

Cyber,

Best way: strip the whole thing down to 1 stick of RAM and do a memtest and then work back up.

Don’t rule out a dodgy PSU with a floating power rail, so the first few RAM tests are also testing if the PSU is dying.

Cyber,

Post it to me?

Cyber,

Generally, user interfaces are hard work. If you just want to code, then having a web app means you’re already 50% done.

Actually should be 90% done, but each browser has differences which means more coding… I’m looking at you, Internet Explorer

Cyber,

There’s clearly a lot of negative towards the company, which I agree with, but I’m not reading enough positive support for the dev…

It must be a bit daunting being on the frontline going through this

I’d guess that anyone using the plugin could help them feel supported in these situations by contributing on their “Buy me a coffee” link…

Cyber,

It all depends on your usecase to define the risk vs effort.

I work in a cyber security role, yet my personal laptop has minimal security, because it doesn’t need it. Am I keeping military secrets on it? No. Does it contain bank records? No. So no full disk encryption, no app sandboxing, no AV scanning.

My work laptop… well, that’s a different case altogether.

My advice: do 1 thing at a time and make sure you understand it. For example, do you need a SSH server on a desktop device? Just disable it and that’s it secured. No need for additional jails, fail2ban, firewalls, etc… now it’s easier to maintain, which improves your overall security posture.

Have a look at Lynis and CIS-CAT, etc to audit your system… if it’s vulnerable and you don’t use it, remove it.

That’s why I use Arch… it only has the components you need.

Cyber,

Yep, look into Wake On LAN if you just want to power the NAS on remotely.

My NAS also powers on at certaIn times of day and off again after a while - IF - no-one’s connected / no network traffic / etc.

I do NOT need my NAS on at 3am…

Edit : forgot to say, check out OpenMediaVault

Cyber,

Logseq.

I used Joplin in the past, but just didn’t quite get completely comfortable with it.

I also tried Nextcloud in the past… that project has become too big for my needs and the file syncing had issues.

Logseq is very similar to Joplin (ie markdown files), but IMHO the editor is easier with Logseq, plus the files are just simple plaintext files, named after the page title, so are easy to edit outside of the application (and immediately update in the app)

At first, I was a little unsure of Logseq’s default of working as a daily journal, but after a while it makes more sense for me - I use it at work, so 99.9% of my notes are meetings, tasks that occur during daily life… and of course those daily journals can refer to other “non-time based” project pages…

I also use syncthing to sync the notes between android phone, linux and Windows laptops and my NAS… so that wouldn’t change for you.

Cyber,

Whatever you do:

  • keep notes
  • consider the 1st build “wrong”
  • “destroy” it (before it’s the only place your data is stored in)
  • build it again

That means you’ll really understand it and how to maintain it.

And others have said: 3-2-1 backups

Fedxit: Migrating to a new instance

Sooo if you skim the previous posts on here, you’ll know that Feddit.uk’s only Admin (@tom) has been missing for a couple of months and in that time we were defederated by lemmy.world (although we’re back now) and we are one upgrade behind (just a minor fix) with one much bigger one whistling down the pipeline that may...

Cyber,

Just wanted to add my thanks…

This is a sanctuary for me as life’s too crazy for me to contribute meaningfully to this instance at the moment, but I really appreciate the effort going into this.

I hope Tom’s ok in the real world, and maybe we can get the same domain name back one day.

Thanks again.

Cyber,

Logseq it defaults to a daily journal and uses Markdown files (again, daily files by default)

It has a whiteboard function and can “embed” images, videos, etc (they’re obviously links to asset files stored separately to the markdown text file…)

There’s an Android app which I sync to Windows and Linux machines via syncthing - the App doesn’t have plugin support yet, but IMHO, on the phone, I just want to type notes…

It can be hosted on a web server, but I have not tried that (more resources to setup & maintain from my POV)

I tried Obsidian and Joplin in the past, but this just seems to be simpler, opener (if that’s a word) and fits to my needs easily.

There’s also a load of videos on youtube to get started…
