  • How do y'all backup docker databases with backup programs like Borg/Restic?

    Jump

  • +1 for long-ass backup script. First dump the databases with the appropriate command. Currently, I have only MariaDB and Postgres instances. Then, I use Borg to backup the database dumps and the docker volumes.

    Database SQL dumps compress very well. I haven't had any problems yet

    Jellyfin wrongly identifies show and messes up metadata

    Jump

  • I have this problem for the new Doctor Who series before it split off from the old 2005 Doctor Who series and became its own thing. Jellyfin was tagging the new Doctor Who series the same as the old one.

    When IMDB finally got its own entry for the new show I was able to successfully identify the new show appropriately.

    Release v1.104.0 · immich-app/immich · GitHub

    Jump

  • v1.105.1 is already out. Apparently there was a critical bug in v1.105.0 to do with external libraries.

  • Anyone else feel like their ADHD was always there but got progressively worse as an adult?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if the ADHD got worse or it was just the consequences that got worse. Either way, I've had to try to find coping mechanisms. I make a lot of lists and use the reminder app on my phone a lot.

  • Selfhosted rss w/ push?

    Jump

  • I wanted to follow up here because I became aware of a pretty good solution for this. It's called pine pods and it's an open source self-hosted service that also syncs with GPodder (or Nextcloud's version of it) so it will keep AntennaPod and itself synched.

  • Selfhosted rss w/ push?

    Jump

  • I currently use AntennaPod with NextCloud's version of GPodderSync; which is...adequate.

    My ultimate solution would be one where a self-hosted app that tracks and download my podcasts, and then proxy them with some sync mechanism to an android app, but keep them as separate shows with artwork and stuff rather than consolidate them into one feed. I could then choose to listen on the self-hosted web interface or the Android app, and they would be kept in sync.

  • Something like multi-library support for self-hosted music? Trying to recreate iPod feel

    Jump

  • I use it! It is miles better than other Jellyfin apps for music, but there are still things I wish it still had.

  • Something like multi-library support for self-hosted music? Trying to recreate iPod feel

    Jump

  • I maintain a Jellyfin instance for audio that points at the same music library as my Navidrome instance does just so I can use the Jellyfin client for Android TV. I would absolutely LOVE to have a subsonic-compatible Android-TV-focused app, so I could finally single-source my music. It's just not friendly to guests to have them have to log in somewhere using their own device to my music server and then have to cast to my main entertainment system at home, when Android TV is just sitting there, acting as nothing more than an old-school Chromecast.

    So, don't get me wrong, Jellyfin is THE BEST video server software FOSS or not, IMO :)

  • Something like multi-library support for self-hosted music? Trying to recreate iPod feel

    Jump

  • I currently use Jellyfin and Navidrome. JF just seems really awkward for music. It's like it tries to treat music and video like the same kind of entities, and they just aren't.

    I really really want a better FOSS -compatible music app.

  • Something like multi-library support for self-hosted music? Trying to recreate iPod feel

    Jump

  • I feel this comment so much. Like you, I'm a Symfonium user, after reluctantly admitting that DSub has stagnated. I really wish someone would just assume that mantle.

    Tempo is probably the best of the current FOSS subsonic-compatible apps, and it ticks most of the boxes, but it still has a way to go to become my daily music app. I posted a review/wishlist in its GitHub discussions for what it could implement to be great in my view, but development seems really slow for it. It might be just one guy, I'm not sure.

    Here's hoping things get better!

  • tar -vczfx123 ought to do it

    Jump

  • The command that I can never get right the first time is ln. I always end up creating a dead link inside my target folder, even when I read the man page directly prior.

  • Fast food restaurant Wendy’s plans Uber-like surge pricing, with digital menu boards that change prices depending on demand

    Jump

  • I might be ok with this if they also had "ebb" pricing. If I could walk in at 8pm and get a burger for a buck, it might be worth it never to go at lunchtime again.

    This, of course, will never happen.

  • How often do you contribute to open source projects?

    Jump

  • If using open source projects and sharing my experience by helping others on forums and logging detailed bugs when I find them counts as contribution, then everyday.

    I'm a software dev myself, but I have enough on my plate with my day job and two kids that have to be taken to all manner of activities. I don't know how all these people find the time to work on free software, probably for little to no compensation, but my hat is off to all of you, wherever you are.

  • Selfhosted twitter alternative, not mastodon if possible

    Jump

  • GoToSocial is pretty good, but it has some fundamental limitations like being unable to follow hashtags and not having a web client of its own. I currently have a self-hosted instances of both Mastodon and GoToSocial (for testing purposes), but I mostly use the Mastodon one.

  • A specific practical objection to modern blocking culture

  • I can't see it in the Canadian Google Play Store :(

  • LMDE just rocks

    Jump

  • Doesn't it bug you that the LMDE logo in neofetch has the top line messed up? I have all my local systems patches and there is a PR up on their repo for it.

  • Haier hits Home Assistant plugin dev with takedown notice

    Jump

  • The first thing I do when researching a new electronic thing is to search "[brand] home assistant" to see if there is already an integration for their stuff. If not, I usually keep looking.
