  • Can you share a guide / tutorial on how to accomplish what OP wants (or just get started with Prometheus)? I was in the same boat as OP and settled for netdata, and eventually gave up on monitoring altogether because it was either overwhelming me with data, too cumbersome to set up or had features behind paid plans.

  • You're actually understanding my issues quite well 🙂

    The "keep updated" works, but I try to keep it to twice a day to have my battery last longer. So I manually trigger in-between. It's a natural consequence of the technical choice, really.

    As for the "Enqueue downloaded", I stream everything as I have a massive mobile data plan. Due to this, I can stream a lot but I still have to deal with a separation between inbox/queue.

    Thanks for those suggestions, I'm sure they'll be of help for others that's not part of my edge case 😁

  • I was a pocketcast user for years, switched to antennapod a few months ago. Here's what's bothering me:

    • Antennapod has a weird separation between new episodes (inbox) and what you're listening to now (queue). PC has that abstracted away where you only have to check one place for your podcasts.
    • There is no simple service to sync your subscriptions and listen progress. Gpoddersync is basically abandoned and the protocol lacks features. Hopefully this will change with openpodcastAPI, but they haven't managed to secure funding yet.
    • I've been spoilt by having a server doing the heavy lifting of refreshing my podcasts. It's a minor annoyance that I need to wait approx. 1.5 second per feed to refresh. It's just the way it is.

    There are also things that antennapod does better:

    • chapters actually works in AP.
    • episode pictures also works in AP, PC only showed the static image of the feed.
    • search is just as good as PC.
    • its FOSS and hopefully resistant to enshittification (unless all producers go into a closed ecosystem like Spotify tried with their recent purchases of pod-studios).

    Best of luck from another pod-nerd.

  • Thank you for the detailed reply and the explanations to (mostly) all the jargon :-)

    Sweden is also doing a lot of deprecation of old telephony systems, those that I know of is that 2G and 3G are going away by 2025.

    The less tech debt we pass onto future generations, the better.

  • This is a cool - and odd - device. I've been eyeing the uConsole for a while, but haven't made the plunge since its still in pre-order, and the actual device you got is build on Risc-V. This isn't a widely adopted architecture, so you are in for an adventure.

    Would love to hear what you think of the device. And if you get tired of it, PM me as I might be intrested (at the behest of my partner).

  • In my experience, ubuntu seems to support a few more wifi cards OOTB. And for me that is an essential feature - I don't want to deal with getting the network up without access to the internet. I still experience Fedora to be smoother as a desktop though.

  • Sorry for the off topic question, but what are the gains / constraints of using an identity / authentication service? Sure, you only are going to need to remember one password/identity. But each webapp must have support for the said protocol, and so does their clients, no? It does seem like a lot of work (and risk exposure) for little gain.

    Please enlighten me if I'm missing something.

  • Only 80%?!? I assume *BSD isn't counted in that number. I really can't see people running windows on their servers...

    And to be honest, server stability != display server stability.
