Why do you need the files in your local?
Is your network that slow?

I've heard of multiple content creators which have their video files in their NAS to share between their editors, and they work directly from the NAS.
Could you do the same? You'll be working with music, so the network traffic will be lower than with video.

If you do this you just need a way to mount the external directory, either with rclone or with sshfs.


The disks on my NAS go to sleep after 10 minutes idle time and if possible I would prefer not waking them up all the time

I think this is a good strategy to not put additional stress in your drives (as a non-expert of NAS), but I've read the actual wear and tear of the drives is mostly during this process of spinning up and down. That's why NAS drives should be kept spinning all the time.
And drives specifically built for NAS setups are designed with this in mind.

There's a difference between water and liquid.

Not sure if the solid core has more mass than the mantle.
In any case, I'd say it's like a balloon with something solid floating in the middle.

IIRC: webp webm file extensions, and VP8/VP9 video format.

IIRC they mentioned is next to impossible without actually processing the video and guessing when then ad stops on your client (since the ads will change per user, so it can't be done on a server for all users)

Yes, most podcasts are hosted outside of your podcast player and distributed via RSS (even if this is Spotify which already hosts music).
So when a service has the podcast it means it lists the response from the RSS feed, but usually they just copy the text data, including the URL where the actual audio is stored.
This audio is served by whatever other service the creator of the podcast uses, which means you're a free user to that service even if you pay for Spotify, which means the wonderful benefit of ads.

And these are ads you can't block since they're included in the audio stream (yay! /s).
Podverse (the player I use) mentions this as an issue when creating clips of the podcasts because they can't know how much the timestamp has been offset by those ads, so your clip probably only sounds good to you.

As long as you mean a landslide win by a party lead by a guy who said a religious charm was better during the pandemic than any medication, vaccine or any countermeasure, a guy who said "women deserve to go to heaven" when asked if he's feminist, a guy who has said all the power should be concentrated in the government, not in independent entities, a guy who said eolic turbines make the landscape ugly, and who made two big investments in refineries during his administration... Yeah, it's a good thing to see the left-wing in the power.

She IS AMLO's administration, there was no word from her before he said something about anything during her campaign.

AMLO had said since the beginning of his term he was going to disappear from the public to his state after today, but earlier this year he said he would come back if the circumstances demanded it, and just last month I think he said he will stay around.

I don't wish her luck, I wish México luck.

I use rclone and duplicati depending on the needs of the backup.

For long term I use duplicati, it has a GUI and you can upload it to several places (mines are spread between e2 and drive).
You configure the backend, password for encryption, schedule, and version retention.

rclone, with the crypt submodule, you use it to mount your backups as am external drive, so you need to manually handle the actual copy of the data into it, plus versioning and retention.

No, it doesn't suit the needs of the country, it suits the needs of the political party of the president.

Everyone with half a brain agrees this is bad and will make any judge bound by their promises in campaign (ha, more like the promises to their party and promoter) and allow any one to do the job of someone that should have good qualifications.

Those are silent, they're there for history reasons.

Well, the issue will be developers of other apps would force us to re-google since any build of the app would be useless unless installed from the play store...

a console has better optimisation for lower price.

Something else to have in mind, some times they're like a printer, the device is relatively cheap but you have to buy other stuff to actually have it working.

In PC you can find several places to buy and download games (even when it feels like only one or two exist), in console you only have the manufacturer.
In PC as long as you have internet you can play multiplayer, in console you have to subscribe to their online services.

 

I have an old android tablet (and several phones) that I want to use for small applications in my home automation.
For the most part just to show a web page to quickly click something to activate or read the status.

My issue is the OS installed is very old and of course there are no official updates.
Looking for custom roms they are also somewhat old because the age of the devices, and everyone says "don't use the rom of one device into another even if the models are very similar".

So, my question is, what are my options if I can't use a pre-built rom?
Could I keep the same OS and just restrict access to only my internal network?
Not sure if I'm being too paranoid about security risks using these devices to just connect to my services.

 

What's your recommendation for a selfhosted services to stream some private videos from S3 compatible service (vultr)?

I was thinking a private peertube instance could work, but it requires the S3 files to be public and allow all origins, so I don't like that idea.

The other one was to use rclone mount to have it as another block storage, but I don't know what are the cons of this, or if it's possible to use it with this kind of services.

This won't be for my camera videos (already have immich) nor for series/movies (jellyfin). It'll be for random videos from youtube, or twitch which I want to hoard.

(Also if you have a recommendation for cheap online storage for this it'll be appreciated, Vultr's is $0.006/GB)

 

I want to have something similar to a google's nest hub to display different type of information, like weather, bus times, my own services information, photo gallery, etc.

It's not a problem if I have to manually write plugins for custom integrations.
It'll be better if it's meant to be shown in a web browser.

I remember there were some related to a screen for a digital mirror, or a kiosk screen, but I can't find a good one to selfhost and extends to my needs.

The ones I've found are focused on showing stats of deployed services and quick links to them.

 

I've seen a lot of people mentioning EQ bank to have the emergency save since it offers 2.5% interest.

Just recently knew about wealthsimple with 4% https://www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/spend

So I'm wondering if you guys know any drawback on saving in wealthsimple instead of EQ.

 

Is there any firefox extension to process SRT or WebVTT files to show subtitles in any page? Not just video streaming sites.

Context: I have some subtitle files for some podcasts, so the site is only playing audio. I'm using podverse.fm
It'll be great to have something similar to lyrics sections in some music players to follow along the audio while reading.

 

I just attached a new volume to my vps and usually I follow the instructions provided using parted and mkfs.ext4 but I decided to try ZFS.

The guides I've found online are all very different and I'm not sure if I did everything correct to know the data will be safe.
What I mean is running lsblk -o name,size,fstype,type,mountpoint shows this

NAME     SIZE FSTYPE   TYPE MOUNTPOINT
vdb      100G          disk
└─vdb1   100G ext4     part /mnt/storage
vdc      100G          disk
├─vdc1   100G          part
└─vdc9     8M          part

You can see the type and mountpoint of the previous volume are listed, but the ZFS' ones aren't.

Still I can properly access the ZFS pool I created and I also already copied some test data.

root@vps:~/services# zpool list
NAME         SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  CKPOINT  EXPANDSZ   FRAG    CAP  DEDUP    HEALTH  ALTROOT
local-zfs   99.5G  6.88G  92.6G        -         -     0%     6%  1.00x    ONLINE  -
root@vps:~/services# zfs list
NAME         USED  AVAIL     REFER  MOUNTPOINT
local-zfs   6.88G  89.5G     6.88G  /mnt/zfs

The commands I ran were these ones

parted -s /dev/vdc mklabel gpt
parted -s /dev/vdc unit mib mkpart primary 0% 100%
zpool create -o ashift=12 -O canmount=on -O atime=off -O recordsize=8k -O compression=lz4 -O mountpoint=/mnt/zfs local-zfs /dev/vdc

Does this look good?
Should I do something else? (like writing something to fstab)

The list of properties is very long, is there any one you recommend I should look into for a simple server where currently non-critical data is stored?
(I already have a separate backup solution, maybe I'll check to update it later)

 

I've been putting off having a local copy of the series and movies I watch because I still can access them quickly and cheaply enough in some streaming service, I think it's time to plan ramping up my selfhosted setup.

 

All guides to deploy using docker mention typing your keys/credentials/secrets into the docker compose file, or use a .env or similar file, I'm wondering how secure is this and if there's a better option.

Also, this has the issue of having to get into the server to manage them, remembering which file has each credential.

Is there a selfhostable secrets manager? I've only found proprietary/paid ones for large infrastructures and I just need it for a couple of my servers/projects.
