  • Huh. I don't know anything about that. I wonder if it's because Grafana hooks into more sensitive points on your server and that triggers VT.

  • When you're 70, you need all the help in the remembering dept you can get.

  • I digitally collect odd things, selfhosted in several apps depending on if it's for 'read later and decide' or preserve.. For one, I like the etymology of words or phrases and how they've evolved in meaning, and in some instances bastardized the meaning. For another, I collect political cartoons from any country. I am fascinated how some of the ones I've read about, have changed some people's minds. Things I find educational. Things that are totally polar opposite me. You'd be surprised what you learn even tho you may still remain opposed. So these are a back up of a backup which gets backed up, lol, It's the source files if you will, and I archive them in another app however I still keep the source as a backstop.

    I'll end with this as an example since this might be misconstrued as not about selfhosting, As a wee lad, someone donated a set of Encyclopedia Britannica to us. I read those cover to cover many times. So, with the help of self hosting and dedicated devs around the globe, thank you so very much for being so generous with your skills and time, I can continue my quest to know.

    TL:DR: I'm just a weird, old man.

  • LOL Never thought of it like that, but yeah.

  • Just 2k in bookmarks? Pffft! Those are rookie numbers. Check back when you have 59k bookmarks. Currently there are 1.1k in the broken links category. The vast majority of the links are topics I research or have interest in, exterior of self-hosting. I do not consume TV data, but I do a ton of reading. I find that reading gives me better retention of the topic, and it's rather easy to highlight & search for cross comparisons, and further research. Ever since I was a wee lad, barely able to read, I have had an insatiable lust for knowing. It is this that drives the link counts. LOL

  • hmmmm Thanks for the tip. I'll check into it

    ETA: Looks like I'll be looking for something else. Le sigh....c'est la vie

  • This looks interesting. I currently run Alist but this seems to have a lot more going on. Might have to spin it up and give it a go. In reading up on it, there were some issues back in '23 that parts of the UI are presented in Chinese with no means of the user fixing that. Is this still an issue?

  • Those photos are only a just-in-case for insurance.

    Cool. The insurance angle has helped me on a couple of occasions. Had a piece of farm equipment disappear. Had all the surveillance replete with photos of the equipment and snapshots of serial numbers. The process was rather painless with all of that. I highly recommend people go through at least once a year and take a digital inventory, especially big ticket items.

  • There are cave drawings of this cpu

  • Precise Pangolin

    Dude! I've been sitting here for about an hour trying to find an old 32 bit distro that will run on an old Dell Latitude laptop I have. Well guess what? Precise Pangolin works just like it should. Had to go download the torrent, but all is well. Thanks a bunch mate. You cut down my trial and error time by a bunch because I had a stack of them here to try.

  • It's a reverse proxy, tunnel like Tailscale, with LetsEncrypt like Caddy, and a few other goodies all rolled into one.

  • So now I have an inventory (and pictures)

    So it will import associated pictures of equipment with a pic of the serial number? Cool

  • Crowdsec is a type of WAF you could say that covers a wide variety of attack scenarios and is fed by community input into the system as well. Very nice package imho. I use it.

    Other than that, I'm watching this thread because I've been reading up on Pangolin and it seems to be quite an inclusive package and covers a lot of ground with just one install. It seems to be along the lines of a Caddy/Tailscale scenario, just in one complete go.

  • I get all of that. I really do feel ya. However, I find it quite difficult to raise my ire over a free product (Tailscale) that I use in conjunction with my hobby, changing up their game and going IPO. I guess I do not take my network as seriously as others here do.

  • That's cool. I don't like spam either. You are correct in that you should have to opt in instead of opt out.

  • So, I don't run the arr stack, or any of it''s components. In fact, I've never even test run Plex. However, I hear that Emby is a better replacement coupled with Symfonium to take the place of PlexAmp. That seems to be the 'next horse' everyone is switching to, even tho Emby does seem to have some unresolved issues.

    I just find the constant grind against profitability and capitalism to be a bit worn. I guess you could say I am fully ensconced in capitalism as I run three tax paying, for profit businesses. The issues I take with capitalism is unbridled, uncontrolled greed...when we place profit over principal. By all means tho, make yo' paper son.

    These are my opinions. There are many like them, but these ones are mine.

  • ....and what are current Plex users, that don't like the direction Plex has taken, doing ? Riding the next horse. When Tailscale gets unbearable with their business practices, there are a lot of other options. Tailscale is just easy and it flippin' works.

  • Tailscale is a business seeking profit? (clutches pearls gasp)
