I've been on a long journey lately to migrate any and all of useful to me cloud-based services to self-hosted ones...
One of the latest check marks - hundreds of semi-permanently-open browser tabs have finally been moved to a local wallabag instance - https://wallabag.org/
It is a "read-it-later" kind of service to store web pages and such, but local. I'm still testing it with a default SQLite backend, but it can store to MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.
@mansr heh, bookmarks plus their content (minus ads, popups and other crap) - kind of like Pocket, previously known as Read It Later, or even Web Clipper by Evernote, but not limited to a browser or a device. And instead of storing everything in the cloud, everything is stored locally. There's a Web UI and apps for mobiles and e-readers.
PSA: the Linux "Predictable Network Interface Device Names" concept sometimes is unpredictable!
Upgraded Proxmox VE from 8.1 to 8.2 on Minisforum MS-01 and 10 GigE network interfaces gained a new "npX" suffix -> no network. Get your local consoles ready!
If I'm reading it right, "n<port-num>" specifies "p0" and "p1" ports, so the interface names are now by default:
enp2s0f0 -> enp2s0f0np0
enp2s0f1 -> enp2s0f1np1
I know about udev and hwdb, but the change was unexpected...
PG&E just issued me the final Permission To Operate for my solar system! Original contract signed in October, install in January, and early April we're done!
3kW of solar on the roof across 8 panels with microinverters, 20kWh/15.3kW of house battery storage across four Enphase 5P batteries, a Microgrid Interconnect Device (transfer switch) so when the utility grid goes down my house can disconnect and keep running on its own, and automatic load shedding of the air conditioning once the batteries drop to 50% SOC so I can still run the AC while off grid without needing to worry about completely draining the system.
Total install cost: $45,800 (not counting the load shed logic that I did myself since my installer had never touched that feature before).
@kwf Nice! I usually try to use either flexible MC or rigid PVC+liquidtight for electrical wiring where conduit is required - easier to work with... That said, I've never done EMT because it does indeed look hard :)
I hear that Gmail has recently started objecting to more mail from non-Gmail senders than usual.
So if you use Gmail, it might be a good idea to keep a closer eye than usual on your spam folder. (And mark non-spam as non-spam.)
And if you don’t use Gmail, and you’re waiting an unusually long time for a response to something that you sent to a Gmail user, it might be worth contacting them via other channels to make sure the mail reached them.
@xahteiwi@cliffwade same here - it was the best social network I've ever used, although I'm not at all "social".
I had all the right people in my circles on G+ and enjoyed discussing all the relevant topics with them.
FB-peeps always complained G+ was a "ghost-town", that's because it was very focused "no bullshit" and I preferred it that way. And because of that, I was willing to forgive Google all those little missteps, which were not critical.
I can tell that a new Ubuntu release is coming because they always add the new ISOs to the mirror health checker before shipping the ISOs themselves, so all our #MicroMirror servers get disqualified for not having the files yet.
I have a couple of open source TRS-80 emulators (sdltrs and xtrs) running on Fedora. They're written in C but they each have dependencies that scare me away from attempting to port them to a microcontroller board. I wonder if there's a wee board that runs enough of a linux distro to make it easy and that can fit inside the tiny TRS-80 case.
I find it a bit weird that I cannot overcome my initial very bad reaction towards some actors after I saw them in evil/annoying roles
Tom Welling for playing Lt. Pierce in Lucifer, AKA Cain, the first murderer from the Bible. I know he's a very popular actor for playing Clark Kent from Smallville and other shows, which I haven't seen, but I loved Lucifer
Thomas Middleditch for starring in all those annoying Verizon Wireless commercials. God, I wish I saw him in Silicon Valley first
