tofubl,

WSL has changed the game pretty significantly, don’t you agree? It’s not perfect, but allows me to stay firm in my resolve never to learn powershell.

tofubl,

Storage box is self-serviced storage on a single server, as far as I’m aware. If you need replication, you need to rent storage at a second location and do it yourself.

Got tracked down for my school reunion

Today I was contacted by someone at work. She graduated school with me and our 20 year reunion was coming up. Why did she contact me at work? It was the only way they were able to track me down. I was included in promotional material by name. She told me I "was the hardest to track down"and I had to smile....

tofubl,

Have your parents and siblings changed their everything as well? That’s how I would try to find someone I went to school with.

tofubl,

You should start training in secret immediately! Stages are easy enough to come by once you’re ready.

tofubl,

What’s the difference between a dirty bus stop and a lobster that underwent plastic surgery?

tofubl,

One’s a crusty bus station, the other a busty crustacean.

Slow and unreliable with sqlite, but rock solid and amazing with postgres.

Today, every document I receive goes into my duplex ADF scanner to scan to a network share which is monitored by Paperless. Documents there are ingested and pre-tagged, waiting for me to review them in the inbox. Unlike other posters here, I find the tagging process extremely fast and easy. Granted, I didn’t have to bring in thousands of documents to begin with but started from a clean slate.

What’s more, development is incredibly fast-moving and really useful features are added all the time.

tofubl,

Could you please elaborate how you do the honeypotting?

sj_zero, to selfhosted

Anyone who knows me knows that I've been using next cloud forever, and I fully endorse anyone doing any level of self hosting should have their own. It's just a self-hosted Swiss army knife, and I personally find it even easier to use than something like SharePoint.

I had a recurring issue where my logs would show "MYSQL server has gone away". It generally wasn't doing anything, but occasionally would cause large large file uploads to fail or other random failures that would stop quickly after.

The only thing I did is I went in and doubled wait_timeout in my /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf

After that, my larger file uploads went through properly.

It might not be the best solution but it did work so I figured I'd share.

tofubl,

Okay, did the migration just now. Everything seems a little more responsive, but I wouldn’t call it way faster.

Either way, it wasn’t very scary at all. For anybody coming after me:

  • add postgres container to compose file like so. I named mine “postgres”, added a “postgres” volume, and added it to depends_on for app and cron
  • run migration command from nextcloud app container like any other occ command and check admin settings/system for db state: ./occ db:convert-type --password $POSTGRES_PASSWORD --all-apps pgsql $POSTGRES_USER postgres $POSTGRES_DB
  • remove old “db” container and volume and all references to it from compose file and run docker compose up -d --remove-orphans

Service for letter/PDF archival

I’m looking for a service I could install to archive a huge pile of letters, preferably in PDF form, to a database. I’m living in a country where paper is still king, and digital services are either non-existent, or loathed (Germany). My current situation is that I have a mailbox with lots of PDFs all over the place, but...

tofubl,

The killer feature for me is my networked scanner scanning directly to the paperless consume samba share and the documents just popping up in the inbox fully OCRd and pre-categorised. Pretty magical.

NB, the docs make it sound like a proper DB is optional, but it’s really not. Performance was iffy for me with sqlite but is rock solid with Postgres.

This ticks all your boxes. It’s really good.

tofubl,

I’ve recently started using a Hetzner storage box for encrypted daily incremental backups and I’m very happy with it so far.

FOSS alternative to... Sending Spotify links?

This is probably a dumb question but what is a better way to send a link to a song to friends without using Spotify? I don’t use Spotify anymore so I don’t like going back to that website just to copy a song link so people could hear it. I know I could send something like a YouTube link but I’m trying to degoogle so I...

tofubl,

Not only did you write all of that, but you made me read all of it, too. Very entertaining!
