Proton Pass is addictive how convenient it is. I use Aegis to log in to proton pass.

I would like to backup and test restore app configs not sure how to do that yet :p

Maybe OS backup is the way somehow. Maybe I need an atomic distro …

I’ve always struggles with practicing restoring backups. Do you have to buy an identical 2nd machine to see if everything still works w/o messing up the first one?

I’d be curious seeing the discussion. Its healthy to have respectful competing opinions and see what rises to the top

I am not a very good sysadmin. All I remember is the DoH feature was causing me problems in accessing my LAN servers.

I have it a little different than you: I have a halfbaked split-DNS system wherein nc.mydomain.TLD resolves to my public IP address in public DNS, and then on the LAN, the router and the pihole both have DNS entries saying that nc.mydomain.TLD points to 192.168.1.10 . I know I should just have one DNS provider for simplicity or do it better somehow, but I don’t want a single point of failure BC the raspberry pi has failed in the past.

That’s why I started out setting an exception in firefox. I’ve since put other LAN-only services on mydomain.tld, and I think I was having trouble resolving those too without the exception. But unlike you I don’t have private ips in public DNS, although AFAIK that’s a fine practice.

Does DoH stand for DNS over HTTPS in this case?

I’ve run into similar problems as you, and am now in the habit of adding my mydomain.TLD to the exceptions for DNS over HTTPS.

I did not even consider that NAS might refer to a commercial device.

Making a raspberry pi host an always on hard drive with Samba and calling it Network Attached Storage was the first thing I ever self hosted.

Language is weird how it changes.

I wish I knew a way to not tangle kite string

Hi quaff!

The app I use for this purpose is called Notally, on android. It supports reordering the checkboxes, but it doesn’t do find in page or sync to web (although it can do backup /restore – I sync the folder with nextcloud and I can access the text files)

That said if you try it, you might love how simple it is and use it for something!

For me the learning curve of learning containers does not match the value proposition of what benefits they’re supposed to provide.

Very cool!

It’s best to keep it around 50℅ and let it charge / discharge about 5%, and then charge again. See the research links on charge.org (note the bias: his business sells a dongle, but some computers like think pads come with this functionality built in.)

I’m setting up a yunohost machine for my brother as a birthday present. I got him a domain good for 10 years, and installed nextcloud and Jellyfin with some home videos digitized from our parents’ vhs tapes.

What is beets, hobbits?

I think I found it: cassette. Unfortunately it is iOS, not selfhosted :(

I’m too deep into the android ecosystem, sadly, but if I found a good Linux phone I’d try it.

What problems have you had?

This is like a google voice number? Do they do VoIP and voicemail transcription, because I don’t have a replacement for Google voice yet.

Edit: yes they do voip, voicemail, and transcriptions, but they do not do RCS yet. When they do, I might consider switching, especially if I can use their voicemail for my regular number, like gv.

JMP does not (yet) support these features:

• RCS, which allows for video calls over the phone network.

That’s funny, I never use 1 and 2, but I use 3 often.

I used to use tap to pay, but I recently acquired one of those adhesive credit card holders that has obviated my need for to pay.

I have an old car and just have my phone in a holder if I need to see turn by turn directions. Unfortunately the credit card holder fucks with the phone stand a little bit, but it mostly still works. The few times in my life I used android auto I disliked it.

I most often use voice assistant to ask for a song to play on Spotify. This was really convenient with “hey google” while I was driving or had my phone in my pocket listening to headphones, but I live without it these days.

I don’t get it, I thought it allows all browser with JavaScript enabled.
