Just wanted to say thanks, I ended up going with n8n.

You should add a community for it over on one of your instances.


The Immich logo is a massive improvement.


Out of curiosity, why isn’t this stuff done by default?




This is a weird one. On the one hand, we have Mozilla, the last remaining browser company not sucking at the teat of either Google or Apple and we all expect for Mozilla to somehow generate enough money to pay enough employees to stay competitive on the other hand we have the users who expect them not to do anything to try and leverage their userbase to create financial independence.

The problem with Mozilla remains the same problem that they’ve had for a while. Mozilla doesn’t acknowledge the symbiotic relationship it has with its community and the community always over reacts, which means there’s a chasm where simple things should be easy but they’re not.

Take this for example, Mozilla only had to have a public facing discussion about this and then go and do it anyway.

Sometimes paying lip service works. But since they didn’t, you have people like OP who feel like something nefarious is happening and in the end Firefox users lose out as things like donations being pulled hurt.

Mozilla already shows ads, as do all the other browsers, however unlike the other browsers, you have a fully functioning uBlock that can and will remove anything that the preferences don’t cover.




No one actually believes that Tumblr will implement AP




Them turning it up would be good. Also shouldn’t there be a duplicate post check built into the platform?


True, I actually liked Windows phone. But the lack of software support killed it. Even whatsapp pulled the plug.


I tried to look this up in a search engine and got nothing back, what is this?


I think the adoption everyone is looking for on desktop is deceptive. The type of people that run Linux on desktop are averse to Telemetry and so desktop Linux will report much smaller numbers anyway. Consequently, everyone is hoping for Linux to become the standard in the professional space and there, it’s back to application support and the big one, compatibility. It’s all good if everyone in an office is using Linux, but they need to interact with the outside world, and if the outside world can’t read what they send, then it’s not even worth considering switching.


Ah okay. Thank you for making the time to respond.


Thank you very much. I looked at their Github and saw a couple channels for releases and made a poor assumption. Thanks for sharing your insight.


Thank you very much for teaching me something new


Reminds me of Node Red. Feels like it’s probably a lot more complicated than what I’m looking for though, which is basically just phone notifications of certain RSS feeds


Should I be worried that there’s been no commits in the past three months?


It’s not the articles I care about. Though that would be nice, it’s the notifications. Does Fresh have that?


That’s why I’m looking into a replacement. My subscription was mostly about me supporting and since they’re unappreciative, I’ll look elsewhere.



Sorry, I think I’m asking my question poorly, what I mean is instead of

image: tensorchord/pgvecto-rs:pg14-v0.2.0@sha256:90724186f0a3517cf6914295b5ab410db9ce23190a2d9d0b9dd6463e3fa298f0
    

Which clearly requires user interaction, why not take that out of users’ hands and just have

image: tensorchord/pgvecto-rs:latest-stable
    

Which is effectively what they’re using anyway? I can understand freezing on a version when the upstream removes a feature, but that’s not happened and even so, why do they need the SHA verification? Sorry if it seems stupid and straight forward, this is the only container I host that does this and so I’m trying to understand it rather than just feel aggrieved by it.



Self Hosted IFTTT RSS Replacement
A couple of years ago, IFTTT did a thing where they asked people to sign up to premium and they could pay whatever they like and could keep the service forever. I didn't use many of the services, but thought it made sense to try and preserve something so useful for in case I did need it. In the meantime, I would allow it to check some RSS feeds and alert me when certain keywords came up. Some time goes by and the ambitions of IFTTT grow, they now rename the service I pay for as Legacy. Seems ominous, but I'm only using it for RSS so nothing to worry about. Fast forward to yesterday and I get an email to say that they're moving me to a new premium service and doubling what I pay. It left a bad taste in my mouth. I hate when companies do this. Especially when they promised I could keep my old thing at the same price forever. Anyway, since they've clearly lost their mind in the pursuit of AI supremacy, I may as well just host this myself. So is there a self hosted solution for RSS where I can get notifications when some RSS feeds publish indiscriminately and others when specific keywords come up? Something I can put in a Docker container on my RPi, set and forget.

I don’t understand. Why are they so specific in the Docker Compose? Why not just have a Docker that pulls the latest of each package without requiring the user to copy long strings?


Do you really think generic Linux phones will ever be a thing? The people go where the apps are and there’s no reason for the most popular apps to make generic Linux apps. Just the idea of mobile Flatpaks makes me nauseous.


This is my first time learning about Sunshine/Moonlight. How does it work? Does it run via an emulator? Is there an official way to get games?



My plan was to get one of those flying saucer looking WAPs to handle the WiFi. Would that work?

Runs off to look up LibreCMC 😂



The entitlement regarding my lack of editing made me believe you were emotionally invested.

Bookstack seems quite popular around here.


I just assumed the author had a favourite, I didn’t even think to edit it.

Navidrome supports Smart Playlists: https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome/issues/1417#issuecomment-1950625037 it’s not feature complete, but it’s live.

Symfonium also supports folder view, Most Played Song, Most Played Album, allows for Downloading music, as well as caching for offline usage, favourite tracks can be bookmarks, it has Internet radio support, supports lyrics and crossfading.



There’s a bunch of stuff on there that’s just blatantly wrong regarding Navidrome and Symfonium.


Western Digital My Cloud EX2 (Original) for storage

Raspberry Pi 5 for Home Assistant, Navidrome, Jellyfin, Kavita, Immich, Paperless and eventually NextCloud. Though it’s being a bastard and won’t run right now.

I need to get a Nano Pi to run OPNSense and Pi-Hole and I’ll be happy.



There’s alternative installation methods.


This was going to be my suggestion. Just run home assistant as a Docker container, problem solved!



Kavita runners
What's your directory structure right? Are you storing everything in a flat directory or do you have things organised by author or alphabetically by title? I'm talking about the actual files on your storage, not the front end.

This is exciting. I was surprised to see that I could see other users' documents. So I looked it up and it seems the fix is in testing. Great news!

Library Advice?
I have a NAS which I use for storage and I have a Pi which I use for serving applications. I thought I could just throw Calibre Web on the Pi, point it to my NAS and then be good to go. Charlie_Murphy_Wrong.gif So Calibre Web said it needed a Calibre database, cool. I installed Calibre proper and created the database. But its not aware of my chosen book location. I feel like I'm going all about the houses and introducing a level of complexity beyond what is required? Before I knuckle down and persist with this, I thought I'd ask and make sure I'm going in the right direction for what I'm trying to achieve?

Am I Being Over Cautious?
I'm having a problem with one of the apps that interacts with something I'm hosting. Alternative apps aren't having the same problem and neither is the webpage UI. Having purchased the app, I emailed the developer for some help and they said they didn't know what the issue was and that it could probably fix it if they could access my server. I'm not really comfortable with that though. Should I be?

How are you hosting your ebooks?
I assumed everyone was using Calibre, but recent searches suggest that isn't always the case

Best Way To Mount A Directory on Boot
Basically I have a Navidrome container and it's pointing at my music in a network mounted folder, what's the best way to ensure that it's always there, even after a reboot of my Pi?

MMORPG NoIAP either Pay Up Front or a Subscription
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.tf/post/370646 > It's hard to find a game without IAP (in app purchases) these days and that's a shame as Pay 2 Win really isn't about skill, it's just how much you can sink in. That said, developers often need to incentive to keep developing a game and to pay for the costs such as servers, etc. I remember there were a few games that were Pay to Play on the horizon, but after their announcement, they never seemed to materialise. Anyway, I'm waffling. Basically I'm okay with an upfront cost or a subscription, I just want a good game which appears to have longevity and as few events as possible. I want to play when I want to play as opposed to when the developers want me play.
