At least in my experience, enjoyable work on a project you have control over is quite different from working on projects for the corporate overlords with unreasonable expectations and deadlines. The former can be a really good outlet to remind you how rewarding work can be when you have control of how, when and what you work on.
Looks like that one isn’t maintained. That page links to this one instead.
There’s that series of pictures taken on a street that shows a comparison of how much space it takes to move 60 or so people in cars vs a bus vs bicycles. Obviously, the cars take up vastly more space than the other two.
Walking shouldn’t be the only other option. The influence of car and oil companies has created a car dependent dystopia in North America, where it seems like it’s either car or walk. But it’s really the same as the trash problem. If trash bins were freeways, we don’t need more of them, we need to be more efficient at moving people, essentially reducing the trash.
Perhaps one should ask why there is so much trash to be thrown away in the first place.
Bins wouldn’t always be full if there was simply less trash to put in them.
It works great with usenet, detects albums you have and looks for those you don’t, with a decent UI for managing.
Doesn’t Lidarr do a similar thing? Not sure if it operates the same if you don’t have the arr part of it going.
Sad to see the news about tteck. His scripts really helped me get off the ground on my own self hosting journey.
This is quite important with Immich. They’re good at documenting their breaking changes, just gotta make sure you check the changelog before updating. Also best to avoid auto updating with Watchtower or similar to avoid surprises.
“For some reason”? Greed. That is the exact reason.
I’m not sure if they’re available with UK plugs, but I’ve got a pack of Thirdreality Zigbee plugs that monitor energy use and have a button on them to toggle power.
I’ve got them connected to Home Assistant. Two do a bit of climate control in a coldroom, the others are for occupancy lighting.
Oh yes, your pay-to-win government duopoly isn’t helping anything, but don’t call it impossible. The Affordable Care Act was a start, and I don’t doubt the right people could make universal healthcare access a real thing in the US.
Oh, I agree it won’t be easy, particularly when taking profits from rich people.
I’ve heard it likened to a house full of asbestos. Knock it all down and there’s likely to be collateral damage, but meticulously taking it apart will take a considerable amount of time. I feel it would be easiest for governments to purchase the insurance companies, then slowly amalgamate so it’s all one network open to everyone.
Also it’s a bit entertaining when someone opposes it because “it’s socialism”. It’s already socialism, you just have middlemen skimming profit off the top while providing little value.
Hey guys, many other countries have figured out that healthcare doesn’t have to be a privatized, for-profit nightmare. Perhaps that’s an option worth exploring.
The asterism gives me big Splinter Cell vibes and I’m definitely OK with that.
I heard a podcast with the author of this book and the conclusion was similar. He recommends no smartphone before 16. Dumb phones for simple communication can be whenever.
I haven’t read the book yet, but the podcast discussion was fairly informative. I think it was Hidden Brain’s Escaping the Matrix episode.
Unfortunately there isn’t really an all-in-one guide. TechnoTim has info on the Pi-hole config side and wildcard certificates, but I think he uses it with traefik.
NPM is pretty straightforward. If you find a site isn’t working, try turning on Web Socket support.
I’d say just search for guides on each part individually:
I can try to help if you run into any issues.
I’m definitely not a network pro, but it sounds like you’re looking to do something similar to what I have.
I’ve got nginx proxy manager as my reverse proxy with pi-hole for local DNS. All traffic goes through the pi-hole and anything going to mydomain.com has DNS entries pointing to nginx. I’ve set nginx up so service.lan.mydomain.com is for anything local and just service.mydomain.com for anything external with wildcard SSL certs for both (*.domain doesn’t seem to cover *.lan.domain so add certs for both - probably because it’s a sub-subdomain).
The Cloudflare tunnel can then just get directed to service.mydomain.com instead of the IP of the service.
A mall that’s only random clothes, shoes, and jewellery stores surrounded by an ocean of parking lot is very unattractive.
As you say, a mall with actually useful stores, like grocery, pharmacy, perhaps a restaurant or two (not chain fast food), etc, with residential units on top or very close to constitutes more of a community than a mall and is very likely to be sustainable versus the former.
I’ve got mine on a subdomain through a Cloudflare tunnel that points to my local nginx proxy manager (with wildcard SSL certs) then to immich. You can do access control through Cloudflare as well. Quite low risk in my opinion as long as you protect it properly.
