Grocery shopping apps

I am currently using Bring! with my wife to organize our grocery shopping. I am looking for a self hosted alternative. I looked at the awesome self-hosted list and tried Specifically Clementines and of course Grocy. I like that Grocy also includes meal planning although the whole inventory management is too much for us. What I...

AtariDump,

Seconded for Our Groceries. The sync between devices is great and I LOVE the barcode scanning.

DynDNS

AtariDump,

That wouldn’t help with an open resolver.

AtariDump,

When it comes to a “secondary”DNS… there is nothing like a primary and secondary DNS server. These indications are quite misleading but many systems adopted it this way. Pihole only list the DNS servers as primary and secondary, because this is what the providers write on their pages. The bad phrasing is supported especially by how Windows handles it.

Most operating systems implement DNS servers as alternatives, not as fallbacks, i.e. they will query any of both servers from time to time, so it is quite likely that you will loose your Pi-hole filtering capabilities (at least partially) [if you specify a secondary DNS server on your network].

The ONLY DNS server you should have set on your network is a/the PiHole(s).

AtariDump,

Setup two PiHoles

AtariDump, (edited )

Not sure about that as I never used/seen a Fritzbox, but I stand by “ The ONLY DNS server you should have set on your network is a/the PiHole(s).”

Pi-Hole or something else for network ad blocking?

I’ve been aware of pi-hole for a while now, but never bothered with it because I do most web browsing on a laptop where browser extensions like uBlock origin are good enough. However, with multiple streaming services starting to insert adds into my paid subscriptions, I’m looking to upgrade to a network blocker that will...

AtariDump,

Yes, been running one for many years and it’s great.

Shoutout to the PiHole team!

AtariDump,

Why?

Journey To Get My Homelab Onto The Internet (codeghetti.tiiny.site)

Following on from this discussion: reddthat.com/post/6044040I finally updated my VPS setup - deleted everything and started fresh with a whole new approach. I decided to make a full writeup for anyone that might find it useful or at least mildly interesting. I’m not an expert in any of the concepts that I wrote about so...

AtariDump,

I’m not saying it is; I’m saying that the option exists and is possible.

pooling media libraries - like distributed storage

I run a full media server, as well do a few friends. Now we had the idea to share our media libraries. In a first quick attempt we, mounted each other’s library folder via an smb share and imported those in jellyfin (all servers connected by VPN) Works quite well, but is kind of cumbersome the more people get in. I had the...

AtariDump, (edited )

Does Jellyfin have:

A dedicated music app?
Music filtering/smart playlists? Sonic analysis?
Good 4k/x265 performance?
Has a third party (or built in) utility that shows me streaming usage per person?
Allows me to limit remote users to streaming from a single IP address at a time?
Let’s me watch something together with another remote user?
Has an app for most any device (like Plex or Emby) that does NOT require sideloading?
Has built in native DVR steaming/recording support?
Two factor authentication?

When it does, I’ll switch.

AtariDump,

Use the envelope budgeting method

AtariDump,

Makes sense.

AtariDump,

How many people do you know?

reddit.com/…/why_you_really_dont_want_to_selfhost…

AtariDump,

Not for the average person who pays for a home (vs business) internet connection.

AtariDump,

Why?

I can count on no hands the amount of people I know who want to host their own email server on a residential connection (and that includes myself).

AtariDump,

Yes.

ISPs block email ports on residential connections to prevent this.

AtariDump,

Have you seen the price of data related items at HD?

Marked up to wazoo; the only people buying them are stupid contractors.

AtariDump,

Shout out to the PiHole and the PiHole team.

AtariDump,

You would.

Instincts kick in and you just do without thinking.

NYC MTA sets Manhattan congestion price at $15 for most vehicles, just one MTA vote left before the first congestion pricing in North America (www.planetizen.com)

New York City’s congestion pricing program is moving forward with a $15 fee on passenger vehicles, reports Stephen Nessen in Gothamist, after the MTA board voted to approve it. The program now enters a 60-day public comment period before a final vote....

“Carefully rolled past”

More like lane split 20+ mph more than traffic was going in an unsafe manor.

AtariDump,

I know that effect!

“That’s the Florence Nightingale effect. It happens in hospitals when nurses fall in love with their patients.”

But what was George doing in that tree?

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

AtariDump,

David?

Love him as the doctor.

AtariDump,

I remember that, but for Xp. Downloading a “driver pack”, pointing windows at the root of the folder, and praying.

AtariDump,
