I use fireflyiii and paperlees-ngx. I did exactly what you plan to do with concourse-ci instead of n8n. I'm not extracting as much data from the receipts yet - was too lazy to implement it.

I basically have a receipts document type on paperless and a "imported" tag. Querying for all receipts which don't have the imported tag and then creating transactions in firefly with a reference to the paperless document. The imported transaction gets two tags one to denote that it was automatically imported and one that gets removed once i manually verified the import.

Since I only scan my receipts with my phone the ocr job of paperless doesnt do too good of a job so I cant really automate more than that yet, maybe I'll get a scanner for that.

If you like I can share my concourse pipeline.

I got the export of my data, which was photos and adjacent json files containing metadata, there is a script somewhere on github that merges the metadata back into the files. Then use the immich cli to upload the data.

I used to use Thunderbird, but their PGP integration always crashed the whole program. I now use Evolution.

Jam. Tastes great and looks fun.

All the important login information should just be present somewhere in your home folder. If you back that up and restore it later you should be fine, no need to save the dropbox binary.

If that is no option and you only want to back up dropbox files and nothing else follow the instructions below (I can't guarantee that they will work, but they should):

Back up the whole system, if something goes wrong you can at least restore to a working state. Read the instructions at least once completely before following them.

Look at the documentation for dropbox to see which files are relevant and need backing up. Its the Dropbox folder with all the files, but will probably be some folders/files in your $HOME too, which store login information. Lets hope that they don't store some metadata there that will invalidate the config if it's running on a different machine (to prevent what you are trying to do).

If there is no documentation, you can stop dropbox completely. Look for dropbox processes that don't get stopped when you stop the GUI with something like pgrep -f -i dropbox.

Once you are sure all dropbox processes are stopped run inotifywait -r -m ~. That command wont exit unless you stop it by issuing ^C. It will list all filesystem events in your home directory. Now start dropbox and see which files it accesses, those are the files you need to back up. It will probably be one or more whole directories in ~/.config and ~/.local.

Add those files to a tar archive using something like this: tar cvJf dropbox_config.tar.xz [list of folders...]. Savre the resulting tar file somewhere else, reinstall and extract it using tar xvJf dropbox_config.tar.xz. Take care to run those commands from the same directory.

The dropbox login secrets might also be stored in your system's keyring, if you are using GNOME, then that will be GNOME Keyring. Open your system's credential manager and look for stuff related to dropbox. Look for instructions on how to back up and restore those secets. I don't use that often enough to be able to give you more detailed instructions right now though.

That number seems very low compared to Discords users, my guess is, that those are the photos of not yet verified accounts. Contrary to some commenters speculating that they lied in their FAQ. On another note: You can think of Discord what you want, but your politicians mandated age verification, not them. Direct your anger/outrage/whatver at them.

I just use plain old openvpn configs. Once my credit runs out ill switch to mullvad. They were the best option for a time, but that changes.

I use something like this:

 bash

    
#!/bin/bash

    SUDO=sudo

download_links=()
for url in "${URLS[@]}"; do
    package_name="$(sed 's_/$__' <<< "$url" | awk -F/ '{print $NF}')"
    download_links+=("$DOWNLOAD_BASE_URL/$package_name/addon-$package_name.xpi")
done

workdir="$(mktemp --directory)"
cd "$workdir"
for url in "${download_links[@]}"; do
    curl -OL "$url"
done

for ext in *.xpi; do
    ext_id="$(unzip -p "$ext" 'manifest.json' | jq -r '(if .browser_specific_settings then .browser_specific_settings else .applications end).gecko.id')"
    target="$DST/$ext_id.xpi"
    echo "$ext -> $target"
    $SUDO install -Dm644 "$ext" "$target"
done

That doesn't handle the extension config though.

I'm sure that is a good price for the soundbar, but speaking for myself it's too big, I don't have the space for it, as I imagine many others do too. It isn't too cheap either, imo.

But that is really not the point. Not everyone is a giant movie geek, they just want to be able to understand what is being said.

Cool, so you're not allowed a ~~good~~ passable movie experience if you don't invest a shitton of money for a home theater.

To check your system for those packages (assuming you are using bash):

 bash

    
comm -1 -2 <(pacman -Q | awk '{print $1}' | sort) <(sort vulnerable_packages.txt)

With vulnerable_packages.txt containing one package name per line.

I'm using a SBC and put LibreELEC on it. That boots to Kodi. I then installed the Jellyfin plugin and am mostly happy with it. Sync and subtitle selection is sometimes weird.

 python

    
def is_even(n: int) -> bool:
    if n < 0:
        return is_even(-n)
    r = True
    for _ in range(n):
        r = not r
    return r

Google: Laughs in "Everybody else you communicate with who has that shit enabled"

Did you waive your rights to the code anywhere? If not then it's still your code and they used it without obtaining the rights to using it - depending on your jurisdiction ofc.

I usually start inotifywatch with read events, open the program, close it and see what inotifywatch dumped.

Good to know! I didn't see a link in your about page.

Hi, nice project. Why would I use your project over similar (open-source) projects like sharry and lufi?

I personally would prefer to use those alternatives because their source is available and can be reviewed, I didn't see any reference to your source code - which is fine, but a no-go for me personally.
