No harm in giving it a try, but I personally wouldn’t bother with a selfhosted solution for it. Especially if you’re not sure it will work out.

Well, paint me green and call me a pickle. More power to you if it works. 😊

Tangent, unsolicited:

Music lessons over video call, that has to be a real pain. I can’t find it now, but there’s an Adam Neely video where he talks about why online recording sessions can’t work, as transmission latency works against the immediacy needed to play music together. He said it better than I can.

Except if your idea is to play in turns, but then capturing the thing you want to show… Can’t you find another teacher closer to you?

Installing the Jellyfin add on into kodi takes a few minutes. Nothing much to consider, just try it and see if that changes anything.

I have a similar setup (rpi with OSMC, media hosted on file server) and prefer using Jellyfin as the source for all clients, as it keeps track of watched status across everything. It’s not perfect, but better than without Jellyfin.

Anyone remember the Darknet Diaries episodes about a bunch of white hats from the Netherlands who managed to guess Trump’s Twitter password twice? I think this was after he started campaigning for what would be his presidency, and then again a few years later.

Here’s the first of the two episodes: Darknet Diaries: 87: Guild of the Grumpy Old Hackers mp3

It’s going to be powerful by every imperial, too.

Oh boy, 2017 can’t come soon enough!

I think your heart is in the right place, but I wonder how you feel about tools and their quality vs. cost.

There are many easily made arguments to pay extra for quality, as you pay less in the long run, which is an idiom (“cheap tools you always buy twice”) but also very true in most cases. Then what about paying extra for ergonomics, reducing strain on your body and preserving health?

And then there’s the question where the line is between a hammer and a table tennis racquet.

Again, I think your heart is in the right place. There are few things more ridiculous, I feel, than absolute beginners of a sport in full brand gear from head to toe, even the stuff nobody who really practices the sport won’t actually use. But then you’ve been playing table tennis for a few years. How much is your current gear holding you back? True it takes a lot of effort to learn about what you like and need, but it definitely pays off. Why don’t you borrow a racquet from one of the other players once in a while for a match to get a feel for what you like?

This file compresses so well. 🤏

Terrible opsec sharing your WiFi SSID, by the way. I can’t find one right now, but I’ve seen global “wardriving” maps of all broadcast WiFi SSIDs that allow to pinpoint a somewhat unique SSID or at least narrow down to a few options. A list of SSIDs around you pretty much gives away your precise location.

Had similar behaviour last night. Turned out UnboundDNS had crashed in my opnsense firewall and took “internet connectivity” with it. Restarting the service fixed it in one click after I found it.

Highly recommend cupping your favourite coffee with different kinds of water (e.g. tap, mineral, DIY water see below). It’s pretty eye opening.

Here’s how to make your own, if you’re motivated to try: https://www.baristahustle.com/diy-water-recipes-the-world-in-two-bottles/

What is this doing in Technology?!

How much is one street cred in channel points?

It’s not my Github, but I think you’d do something like print and store in a safe place your trusted party has access to. My SO has my Keepass password stored in their password safe and theoretically knows (and hopefully will recall when the need arises) how to find my Keepass file, for example.

In short, it’s trust. And then there’s the fact that they would never voluntarily touch this stuff anyway. 😅

Not about design patterns, but about making preparations: https://github.com/potatoqualitee/eol-dr

Grindr faces massive fine for “allegedly” “sharing” “sensitive” “user” “data”.

It’s that, plus “notifications can disrupt your sleep.”

“A much greater issue [than the blue light] is likely to be the content viewed,” says Peirson. “Reading work emails relating to impending deadlines is clearly going to cause anxiety, and anxiety is strongly related to insomnia.”

Storage box is self-serviced storage on a single server, as far as I’m aware. If you need replication, you need to rent storage at a second location and do it yourself.

And I’m sure the fish he caught that one time really was YEA big. And boy the fight he gave him.
