My main goal is to replace cloud services so I can be Google-free. I've also got LineageOS + MicroG on my phone. This is all running in docker containers on NixOS (other than OPNSense), with automated restic backups to a NAS as well as Backblaze. One of my goals is to be able to deploy all this again from scratch with minimal effort, and I think I succeeded, though haven't had to test it yet. Nextcloud - for caldav a…

Could you link to Pintry? I couldn't find it from a quick Google search. I finally found a use case for Pinterest after creating an account years ago and their landing page refreshed and acted weird so much in Firefox that they decided it was a phishing attempt and locked my account for some arbitrary amount of time. I'd rather not even start using it if there's a viable alternative

Typo, my bad: https://github.com/pinry/pinry

Listing the docker images. All this is hosted on a 45 Drives unraid server. adguard/adguardhome - Blocks ads on devices that don't support ad block extensions charlocharlie/epicgames-freegames - Bot that will automatically "purchase" free games from the epic game store. I have it setup to telegram me a link to enter the captcha. chuckmacdev/adrfinder - Checks for Disney dining reservations and emails a link to reserv…

I am out of the loop. What is “*arr”?

They’re media download managers where you can subscribe to your preferred media, often combined with plex or jellyfin (media servers). There’s Radarr (movies), Sonarr (tv shows), and Prowlarr (torrent/nzb search indexers). There’s also a ‘music’-arr but it’s name is lost on me.

Would defianately test it, i tried my backupstack and there was an issue i couldnt have reverted, so it might look fine on the surface but actually doing it is the only way to make sure!

Good advice!

Home assistant. Incredibly versatile and complete home automation software.

Home assistant is fantastic. The number of integrations available is unbelievable (and also somewhat scary, security wise): What I have right now: - integration with Tuya lights/electrical outlets - integration with AirThings air quality sensor - integration with EcoBee thermostat/presence sensors - integration with an LG Oven (status only as far as I can tell) - integration with Garmin ecosystem - integration with p…

What is the modern/idiomatic platform to do IoT? Specifically the rudimentary stuff like light bulbs, electrical outlets, etc. Is zigbee the way to go?

Screwed up in what way? I haven't noticed any difference since the account migration.

Buying the game now requires navigating a couple sites, back and forth, in the correct order, and getting past MS attempts to block seemingly any new account for non-existent "suspicious activity". If you're buying for a kid and make the mistake of not lying about their age, you'll also experience the hell of MS' family account management interface, including having to track down an obscure and not-obviously-related…

@MSFT employees: how do you feel about the rest of the company sabotaging every effort you do to try to get rid of your old reputation and build a new one as a reliable, sane alternative to Google?

Seriously! Between hamfistedly pushing Edge to us Firefox users, raising Office 365 cost a double digit percentage the other year (yes, we moved to GSuite a couple of months later) and all the other stuff, how do you find motivation?

A collection of tools to help you get the media you probably paid too much for anyway but didn't get since Netflix and the rest never got the message that the reason why Spotify works even if it costs more than a CD a month is because everything is there. Netflix today is just mockery, at least in Europe. That said, I don't pirate, mostly because I believe in law and order. But I certainly won't report anyone else fo…

I do use these apps and we basically download Netflix and (especially) Prime series that we already have subscriptions for because their apps are horrendous.
