  • I just pay for a quality newspaper now. I went to reddit a while back but it's just not doing it for me anymore. And not only because the experience has degraded... The content is just not that interesting? There's so much to do with your time.

    Looking for a kanban-ish thing for around the house / chores

    I want to be able to keep track of certain things I (or more accurately, we as a family) need to do. E.g. paint the shed, call the people to clean the roof, pack bags for vacation, etc. It will just be shared between me and my partner. My partner is not super technical but is relatively open-minded to me wanting to do things differently (kicking out netflix in favour of plex, using mealie for recipes, etc..).

    We previously used Nextcloud Deck but since switching to Immich I just want to rid of nextcloud entirely. The deck app is still there but doesn't sync anymore (imagine the embarrassment finding out your partner is still trying to use the thing you persuaded her into using but forgot that it broke) I need to find something else.

    • It needs to be relatively simple (or able to hideaway complexities)
    • Single board is fine, multiple would be nice
    • We just do a todo/doing/done flow.
    • We really like the 'board' way of working, dragging and dropping a task from doing to done etc
    • Ta
  • That's rough... No idea how I'd cope with that. I don't think I've ever had a datacap on any residential connection here in the Netherlands. Currently got 1gbps fiber up and down for 50 euros I think.

    TV however is still a huge scam. I just want to watch football but have to have a billion other channels too I think. (Ima see if I can change this now lol)

  • Genuinely? Find a friend with a plex server. There's plenty of us out there with huge libraries and the automations setup but they're barely utilised. Got any tech-savvy friends or peeps on Lemmy near you?

  • Thanks for the config! I'm a developer and that also contributes to my interest - being able to express my configuration like that. Your config is a bit overwhelming, but in a good way, I've created a git repo for myself to start off and using yours as a reference since you seem to do a lot of cool shit. Am going to start off with flakes.

    Not sure if I'm going to jump in with both feet yet (since apart from my work laptop and servers, this is my only machine) but I am going to journey into writing a conifguration properly and testing it on a VM. Already using nix packages on my Arch install.

  • Linux @lemmy.ml
    Midas @ymmel.nl

    Is anyone using NixOS as their daily driver?

    I'm currently running Arch and it's great, but I'm noticing I'm not staying on the ball in regards to updates. I've been reading a bit about Nix and NixOS and thinking of trying it as my daily driver. I've got a Lenovo x1 xtreme laptop, I don't do much gaming (except OSRS), use firefox, jetbrains stuff, bitwarden, remmina, obsidian, and docker.

    Is anyone running NixOS as their daily? How are you liking it and are there any pitfalls / stuff you wish you knew before?

  • I'm personally kinda hoping that we will see less "general" Lemmy instances but more "interest oriented" or "alignment oriented" instances. I applaud the startrek / programming / piracy instances. Even the tankie and altright nut job instances are useful.

    Edit: oh I just replied to a 2month old comment my bad

  • I honestly don't see how my issues are related to docker. Sure the occ app was missing (or I just couldn't find it, but the conclusion was that I didn't even need it)

    I'm running Linux so there's not really any inefficiencies in regards to resources AFAIK - it's just namespaces and cgroups.

    I'm done with NextCloud

    Just had NextCloud denying my credentials (not for the first time). I know they weren't wrong because I'm using a password manager. Logs didn't say much. Was about to reinstall (again, not the first time nextcloud went bonkers on me) before I tried a docker compose down && docker compose up. Lo and behold after a restart the credentials worked again.

    This stuff is just way too flaky for something so important.

    Is OwnCloud good again? My main usecase is saving photos but I don't want them locked away in a database so SeaFile is out.

    Edit: I'm going to take the time to reply to you all, bit busy with work and family suddenly. But a little update - I've quickly setup Immich and fired up the CLI to import my library. AFAIK the files are still stored on disk somewhere but metadata is in a database. I didn't realize this before, knowing that I think my mind is made up and Immich is the best solution. Thanks everyone!

    Why do some car exhausts drip fluid?

    And what is it? Always assumed it was just water but now I'm pretty sure it's not. Also do all cars do this?

    How are you keeping up with new selfhosted apps?

    I've calmed down a bit but still would like to know if there are any new 'cool' apps to selfhost. I know of the awesome-selfhosted github repo. Any other great sources, and could we incorporate something like that into our selfhosted community here? Maybe a bot that checks if any new ones been added?

    Christian Selig bouwde Apollo, een app waarmee je simpel door het immense internetforum Reddit kunt surfen. Totdat Reddit plots de stekker uit de app trok door 20 miljoen dollar per jaar te eisen. En de hel losbrak.

    Vers afgestudeerd als software-ontwikkelaar, met een stage bij Apple achter de rug, besluit de Canadese twintiger Christian Selig zichzelf uit te dagen door een app te bouwen: Apollo. Hiermee kunnen iPhonegebruikers door het immense internetforum Reddit struinen. Hij weet dan nog niet dat dit zijn leven ‘voorgoed zou veranderen’, zoals hij op Reddit schrijft.

    Met meer dan 50 miljoen dagelijkse bezoekers is Reddit het grootste internetforum ter wereld (Chinese fora uitgezonderd). Het bestaat uit honderdduizenden subreddits; groepen waar mensen samenkomen om hun breiwerkjes te laten zien, te discussiëren over Lord of the Rings, (blote) foto’s van zichzelf te delen of te vragen of het gemeen is om tegen je vriendin te zeggen dat ze naar de sportschool moet. Maar in 2014, als

    People who have their phone on vibrate and have video doorbells, how many rings do you miss?

    Wish I could just get sound for the ring doorbell instead of everything. Utility seems lost on me.

    Bluetooth autoconnecting to car when earbuds are already connected

    Title. Pisses me off mildly. I've got my earbud in for a reason (quick drive) and Bluetooth decides to connect to the car when it starts. The cars' head unit takes forever to start and have to manually switch over to Bluetooth mode (while the audio is already playing) and the volume is way down.

    And when you get out of the car it doesn't automatically connect back to the earbuds.

    Is there a trick to properly using audiobookbay?

    It's like their search function is worse than reddit. Is it on purpose and is there like a trick to make it function right? Are there better alternatives, has anyone built an api for them? They do seem to have a lot and quality links - search is just terrible
