My current setup includes two 1440p monitors and a 4K TV . In the evening I use a script to switch off the monitors and use the TV. Due to the different resolutions, scaling is a problem. Both X11 and Wayland have their own problems....
I have an eight-year-old laptop that needs replacing and I’m paralyzed. What are the most reliable ones now? Do I need a desktop for CAD? Pros and cons of operating systems (and where do I find them?) Browsers ditto? Where do I find answers that aren’t just product marketing?
I read a comment on here some time ago where the person said they were using cloudflared to expose some of their self-hosted stuff to the Internet so they can access it remotely....
Title says it all. I’ve been looking for a youtube client similar to freetube or youtube-tui that will allow me to save a search as a playlist. I.e., I end up with a playlist that’s populated with whatever the most recent VanillaOS videos are or whatever. I’ve done a bit of searching but thought I’d see if anyone knew of...
I am currently running most of my stuff from an unraid box using spare parts I have. It seems like I am hitting my limit on it and just want to turn it into a NAS. Micro PCs/USFF are what I am planning on moving stuff to (probably a cluster of 2 for now but might expand later.). Just a few quick questions:...
I have a unique name, think John Doe, and I’m hoping to create a unique and “professional” looking email account like johndoe@gmail.com or john@doe.com. Since my name is common, all reasonable permutations are taken. I was considering purchasing a domain with something unique, then making personal family email accounts for...
I guess it’s just the way my brain doesn’t assimilate information well, but I went at it assuming that when I was done I would have a product that would show up in Plex and allow me to use as a browser within the Plex system. Now that I’m done I realize it’s just a single device install that that results in something...
Hi there,...
I have a Shelly Dimmer2 flashed with Tasmota. It has two ‘switch’ inputs. I have the shelly installed behind a two-gang switch box with the two inputs connected to two different switches. But currently, if I flip either switch, the same light is flipped (the one connected to the output of the Shelly Dimmer)...
it’s week 2 of 2024 and Holy Fuck Is It Windy Out There right now, oh god
I got a minimal setup with pihole and nextcloud. I was wondering what else I could do. Share your ideas🙂
Hey there. I am looking for a Calendar-Syncing-Solution that can:...
Ths might be a silly question, but asking those is how i learn sometimes. I’m trying to install my first Linux distro to set up a Plex server and one of the few things I know is you need a wired internet connection. My intended server location is across the house from my router, and there isnt much room there to set up...
I’ve been getting some spam comments (with Images I’d rather not see) and even after blocking the people I still see them in my inbox. I’d rather not....
Did anything happen to those bots over the past week? I’m subscribed to some communities that have them posting stuff regularly. I just noticed a drop in content on my feed yesterday and realized I haven’t seen posts from those bots the past few days.
I have been finding a way to get video/audio call working on Linux for some time. however whatsapp doesn’t have an “official” client for Linux so I am kinda stuck in the web version of whatsapp but the web version doesn’t have calling functionality which is bummer since all of my friends uses whatsapp and I want to be...
Yesterday I created a post on a regional community on lemmy.ca....
Time to update the doorbell. It plays 30 seconds of a track. What do you reccommend? I currently have ‘Da Da Da’ by Trio. Because I can.
Tears in Heaven...
How often do you clean them, and how? Any cautionary tales?
You’re about to take your first steps in the wonderful world of Linux, but you’re overwhelmed by the amount of choices? Welcome to this (I hope) very simple guide :)...
As the title says, I wanted to hear what since other (more experience) self hosters think of Micro-OS.
I want to get started with home automation, probably based on a raspberry pi (or as of now with my banana pi which is my home server) and either openHAB or home assistant. My goal is, first, to put some temperature/humidity sensors in varous rooms and leak detector in my basement where I had some issues with the main drain. I...
Hey there, I have a (very) small Ubuntu server and I was dabbling on the idea to do system backups (entire system, meaning, if the disk of the said pc fries, I can get another one, put the info from the backup on the new disk, works immediately afterwards). I have a couple of Linux mint machines and a windows one. I searched a...
I’ve been looking online for ways to download websites (game wikis mostly), in order to have them all in my collection and ensure that they dont get taken down or changed....
