What next? A toaster with butter spreader built-in?

I mean, that’s at least a feature that you can look at and say “Huh, I’m not lazy enough to use it myself, but I’m glad it’s there for Granny who has arthritis and can’t hold the knife very well anymore” UNLIKE the AI which is basically just there for Samsung/LG to get money from Microsoft and for Microsoft … ??? … Profit???

To me, that’s the purpose of a “homelab” not the purpose of self hosting. There’s a lot of overlap, but they’re not quite the same. Homelab has a goal of learning, but just self hosting doesn’t need to.

Yeah, I bought the 3100 to support them and regretted that decision, unfortunately, when it came time to replace I was in a time crunch like you and wasn’t able to run my backups though a translation and it was taking way too long to do it manually so I had to just load pfSense and load the backup.

If I ever buy new hardware and the old isn’t dead though, I’m definitely going to try and make the shift away from it.

Right‽ Guess the only way I’ll see this is after pirating it and having a few drinks in preparation for Bad Movie Night where I purposely watch movies that are known to be horrible just to make fun of them.

Morbius was still awful when I did this for it for it, so maybe I’ll just skip it altogether.

One of the mods said (in the article) that to their knowledge it’s mostly the paid admins removing it not the unpaid moderators.

I would love a Lord of Light movie/series too … I can’t imagine it’d make it through the editing process without a lot of changes though.

I rewatched it a year or so ago. Still loved it!

Just, everything about it was fantastic!

Super Mario Bros (1993) is this movie for me … it’s weird as hell and it’s adherence to the source material is … iffy at best … but god damn if it wasn’t a fun ride!

Then you read about how everyone hated the directors so much they literally got drunk on set and openly wore custom made shirts with slogans about how bad the directors were AND Bob Haskins was in a cast for most of it for an injury on set and it gets even more fascinating! The Directors poured hot coffee on people and just openly belittled everyone. It’s insane!

I just installed it and it’s working pretty well.

OIDC/SSO was easy to configure and I was able to do so before even signing in. I was able to proxy it with NPM quite easily too without needing to do anything special.

The only real problem I’m seeing so far is that if you have OIDC set up, there aren’t prompts to actually use it in the Android app and Firefox extensions and it still prompts for username and password instead. I got around that by creating an API key instead, but you wouldn’t think that’d be necessary.

I even imported all my Firefox bookmarks just to see how it’d handle it and it’s struggling, haha, but I think that’s likely going to be the AI auto tagging and my poor little Ollama server that’s only got a 1060 rather than it being a Hoarder issue, but linking it to the existing Ollama server was also quite easy!

Thanks for the share OP, I’ve tried putzing with Wallabag (didn’t like that they didn’t have SSO) and Linkwarden (couldn’t get it to work with NGINX or NPM), so this was refreshing with how easy it was to get up and running!

ETA: My primary usecase for this is going to just be shoving things I want to remember to look at on it rather than sending myself links to things constantly.

Things I think could be improved, but am not (yet?) annoyed enough by to even open an issue:

1. The above mentioned OIDC issue
2. I’d like to see an auto tag for mobile [need-to-look-at or something similar] where I can later de-tag it once I’ve looked at it … maybe this is a usecase for putting it in a list instead (if that’s the case, a default list instead would be nice) … dunno, I’ll play with it more to get an actual workflow with it
3. In webui logs – right now, I don’t get much feedback on what it’s doing within the webui itself
4. Shared lists between other users on the server would be VERY nice (I saw that this has been requested already).

Interesting details. I’ve thought about Roku’s a few times and the app quality has always been the thing people seem to complain about, so I’ve just avoided them.

They have an ad plan and an ad-free plan for different costs. I personally couldn’t ever imagine myself paying for the privilege of watching ads (and I do pay for D+), but, ¯_(ツ)_/¯

D+ works fine for me on my old cheap Android box, my Nvidia SHIELD and our AppleTV, so I think the ‘slow and clunky’ part might be a Roku specific issue.
The app design choices though are a mess in other ways. There isn’t a ‘mark as watched’ option, so when it doesn’t mark that you watched something (which happens semi-frequently), it attempts to start you on an episode you’ve already watched and you’ve got to fast forward through it. It doesn’t have ‘continue watching’ so unless your show is brand new, you’ve gotta go through the menus to re-find the thing you’re watching. It’s “pretty” enough at first glance and looks good, but actual usability is not great at all.

Plex & Jellyfin definitely have the better experience, for sure.

I mean, if they want a ready to go excuse for why the movie made no money, sure, this makes sense.

Thanks! I know I’ve seen more than and I thought a couple had been about Rust, for some reason!

A quick search and I’m not able to find anything, so either I’m not using the right search terms or I’m completely off the mark and am mixing up my Tovald Rants.

If I mixed that up, I’m so sorry for spreading FUD!

From an outsiders perspective, a lot of the “politics” seemed to be that Rust devs would try to change behavior they saw as bugs and Linus would have to be like: “it doesn’t matter, we don’t break userspace functionality with changes we make to the kernel! [not a direct quote, but a paraphrase]”

Devs not wanting to learn Rust is something I’m not at all equipped to comment on since I don’t know C or Rust (some C++, python, Powershell and a few other scripting languages though) so I can’t say how difficult that transition would be, but at the very least it seems like they must not be convinced of its need.

Anyone with more knowledge able to chime in on if it seems this is a self induced problem on their end or genuinely something the other kernel devs are being difficult to work with?

ETA: My memory of this seems to be completely incorrect! Sorry for the misinformation!

Thats how I’ve done mine.

pfSense has an updater built in so that’s handled my home.mydomain.com entry for me for a long time and has handled updating duckdns too, even though it’s basically only a backup at this point.

If you’ve got a domain, no real reason to not just handle it yourself and avoid the headaches.

FWIW, not all of us subscribe to every community/magazine out there and this is the first time I’m seeing this.

I bought it. it looks like fun.

EDIT: A second thread is right underneath this one, so, now I’ve seen it twice, haha!
