STS & STS2 (slay the spire)

I like lens feature a lot. I also use their privacy pass feature quite a bit. Overall there are a lot of really nice features and search results as good or better than Google. DDG uses bing which is junk IMO

You can do a reverse proxy + authelia (or other auth service). It’s still more risky than a VPN IMO, buts wayyyy better than some of the other options in this thread

Plex clients arent great, but they are better on many TVs compared to jellyfin. Also the wife is used to it, so I don’t really want to retrain

Amen!

I haven’t looked into the config details too much, but I think its audible. I did see some hardcover & goodreads related code when perusing some of the docs, but didn’t really look much deeper.

this feels like a harsh characterization. Their description of AI usage is exactly what I would want in a project using AI. I haven’t looked at their actual practices, so I guess I am trusting on that side. All that said, this is similar to my workflow at work, so I am not as negative on it.

This guys been waiting for his moment

Not sure about slack alternatives, but Slack does have topic/general servers that people can join. SInce its mostly business/work targeted, a lot of these are tech focused (like for k8s, or pytorch)

probably one of the most reasonable comments here.

Does this decompress the files preemptively and leave them? Or is it only decompressing as a post/subreddit is accessed? Basically i am wondering what kind of storage footprint would be required to search through this

only thing that matters is what you and her think/want.

I use git and commit configs/setup/scripts/etc. to it. I at least have a road map for how to get everything back this way. Testing this can be difficult, but it really depends on what you care about really.

• Testing my kopia backups of important data? that I manually test every once n’ while.
• Testing if my ZFS setup script is 100% identical to my setup? that’s not that important, as long as I have a general idea I can figure out the gaps and improve the script for the next time around. Obviously, you can spend a lot more time ensuring scripts and what not stays consistent, but it depends on what you care about!

For a lot of my service config, git has always worked well for me and I can go back to older configs if needed. You can get super specific here and save versions in git, then have something update the versions (e.g. WUD)

Most of the books I read are docs on all the fuggin homelab devices & services…wish I had time to read books at this point.

HA integrated with homekit well. I like to tinker, but hate doing interface/dashboard work. I did find an auto dashboard for HA which has made our lives easier. My long term hope is to use a voice assisstant for the rest.

Since it sounds like youre handy already, i would really dig into the dashboard side since that will dictate how easy it is for your family to use.

Komodo handles this better. I dont use it, but i did spend a week trying it out. You can add repositories and run builds on them then use those in a stack
