Intel Quicksync would do it, no need for a dedicated GPU.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yes hence no need for a dedicated GPU

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I didn’t say CPU? Quicksync is Intels dedicated hardware transcoder in the iGPU.

Iirc if you pay for it the main thing is selective sync

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Syncthing keeps folders in sync between multiple devices, it doesn’t have any concept of users since it’s not designed for that.

You want Nextcloud or similar ‘google drive’ replacement if you want to share individual files and folders with specific users easily.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Well each share can choose which devices it shows up for, so you don’t really need users in that sense. But also if you run it under another user account it will have its own clean profile too.

Definitely worth using specific versions on your docker images if you’re doing automatic updates.

traefik:mimolette for example should keep you on 2.x versions while still getting patches and bug fixes.

I mean same, I say it’s worth using but I don’t do it either haha.

Everything is backed up every night, so if something breaks to the point of data loss I just fix it after.

MangoPenguin,

I wouldn’t worry about a specific number of cores, as that doesn’t translate at all to CPU performance. Instead look at single thread performance.

So something with a Core i5-7500 on ebay for example, should be able to get one in your price range after buying more RAM.

Around $10/TB for used stuff which is what I run in everything.

Drives are going to fail at some point, regardless if new or used. So I’m not worried about used drives, I test them with a full write/read run initially, and have backups in place.

Yup, data loss happens at some point, either hardware failure, software bugs, or just plain old user error.

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...

Proprietary products just use a simple app to manage and control devices

They have a dedicated set of servers your devices and app are connecting to, that’s what home assistant is essentially replacing.

It’s not just app > device, it’s app > server > device.

What is it? I looked up rofi but that’s even more confusing. Maybe a screenshot or two would help in the readme?

That’s neat but how is it related to bitwarden? That’s where I’m stumped.

Simple fix on KDE wayland for windows to remember their last position (imgur.com)

Thanks to /u/azvasKvklenko@sh.itjust.works for mentioning KDE window rules. In KDE, we can add rules for windows so that they behave in specific ways. One rule that can be added is the position: remember rule, and it’s possible to make that rule apply to all windows by removing the match field. This way, closing and reopening...

Why on earth isn’t this the default behavior lol, who is out there wanting their windows to just open up randomly.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

It’s very minimal in normal use, maybe like an hour or two a month at most.

MangoPenguin,

Do you even need E2EE if it’s a private server with no federation? It seems like transport encryption would be fine which almost everything has.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yeah most things support transport encryption, SSL for example with HTTPS.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

What do you feel it’s missing? It’s a tad slower than I’d like but otherwise works quite well.

What to be aware of before opening port 25 on a postfix Raspberry Pi?

I have a raspberry pi running postfix. I Realised unless I open port 25 I absolutely cannot receive emails (I have 587 open and can send but not receive them). However I heard there are scaries online which someone could potentially send emails from your server without consent. I believe as well my ISP doesn’t block port 25....

MangoPenguin,

If you own your domain name, then you can use any email service and still have control over it and move around if needed.

which launcher would you suggest and why?

so I finally got the motivation to install lineage os to my phone after thinking about it like year. and now that I finally modified this phone I started thinking about ricing this phone a bit. I’m looking for a launcher that isn’t too minimalistic and with a decent amount of customization. kinda like kde bit you know…...

Nova is solid, still my go to after trying plenty of others.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Just go to /var/lib/docker/volumes and copy the data out of the relevant volume. No need to mount anything.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Who is out there running compose down -v when they want to keep their data lol

Not a fan of this change, using volumes is what makes docker truly portable between systems. It’s not the responsibility of Immich if people are running the wrong commands when managing their system.
