I am trying to not use any Google services for notifications and so I'd like to make a script to send notifications via ntfy based on discord messages.

How would I get access programmatically to my own discord account? Do they even support it? They have bots, but is their api for DMs?

Edit: the solution may just be a bot in servers, then not responding to DMs unless they use signal

I have my own invidious instance, and i want all the new videos from my subscriptions to automatically get added to a playlist. Anyone know how do do this?

inspired by this post

I have aac mini with an infared reciever on it. I'd love to use it as a TV PC. And ideally an infared remote too.

I am looking for software recommendations for this, as I've done basically no research.

What's my best option? Linux with kodi? How would a remote connect / which software is required for the remote to work??

Thanks!

how would i go about getting the latest kde onto debian 12? is it worth it even?

EDIT: fine I wont try lmao

Say I have a large txt or CSV file with data I want to search. And say I have several files.

What is the best way to index and make this data searchable? I've been using grep, but it is not ideal.

Is there any self hostable docker container for indexing and searching this? Or maybe should I use SQL?

I'm wanting to heavily mod my 3D45. I basically want to use a raspberry pi to run it, but just repurpose the existing hardware. I am new to this area of 3d printing, and would love some suggestions to get started. I know of octoprint, but does it do all of the reading gcode?

Its new homelab time. And with that, potentially a new OS time too.

I currently am very happy with Debian and Docker. The only issue is I am brand new to using data redundancy. I have a 2 bay NAS I'll use, and I want the two HDDs to be in raid 1.

Now I could definitely just use ZFS or BTRFS with Debian, and be able to use Docker just like I do currently.

Or I could use a dedicated NAS OS. That would help me with the raid part of this, but a requirement is Docker.

Any recommendations?

I have nginx up and working with pihole and its great. I can get to: https://dashy.homelab.duckdns.org/ On my PC but not my phone. On my phone, pfsense blocks it and says "Potential DNS Rebind attack detected, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_rebinding Try accessing the router by IP address instead of by hostname."

Why? I've disconnected and reconnected to WiFi, and waited a day.

I have a hdd attached to my server. It's sda but has 2 partitions so sda1 @16M and sda2 @3.6T It defaulted to being in the location /media/devmon so I kept that and it worked for ages. Suddenly the data is gone. I had files located here: /media/devmon/4tb_drive/kiwix/zim and that directory is now empty. But I put the drive into a Windows box, and everything was there.

When I run mount /dev/sda2 /media/devmon/ it says: The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0). Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount. Falling back to read-only mount because the NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting.) Could not mount read-write, trying read-only I originally formatted this drive in Windows, is that the issue? Ideally I'd use btrfs or zfs not ntfs, but here we are.

How do I get access again?

I'm looking for 16TB HDDs. They'll be for fairly light usage. Immich will be the heaviest thing running on it.

New? Used? Certified? Like this?

I want to make a NAS with a 500GB boot drive and 2x16TB HDDs. Based on my previous post, btrfs is a good option. It also looks easy to get started. My plan for the NAS would be to purchase several 16TB drives, and only use 2 of them.

My first question is about different drives. Could I purchase two different brand drives and use them with btrfs? (I assume yes)

2nd question: how does the replacement process go? Like if drive A died, so I remove it, and put a brand new replacement in. What do I have to do with btrfs to get the raid 1 back going? Any links or guides would be amazing.

Goal:

• 16TB mirrored on 2 drives (raid 1)
• Hardware raid?
• Immich, Jellyfin and Nextcloud. (All docker)
• N100, 8+ GB RAM
• 500gb boot drive ssd
• 4 HDD bays, start with using 2

Questions:

• Which os?
  • My though was to use hardware raid, and just set that up for the 2 hdds, then boot off an ssd with Debian (very familiar, and use it for current server which has 30+ docker containers. Basically I like and am good at docker so would like to stick to Debian+docker. But if hardware raid isn't the best option for HDDs now a days, I'll learn the better thing)
• Which drives? Renewed or refurb are half the cost, so should I buy extra used ones, and just be ready to swap when the fail?
• Which motherboard?
• Which case?

Hi. Thermostats are expensive. I currently have this one, at my apartment.

I would like to replace it with one that connects to HA. First, is this a good idea since I'm in an apartment? I'll obviously keep the current one, and put it back before leaving. Second, what's a good one that is either open source or at least non internet based (but still works on HA)?

Thanks!

I want my self hosted things to use https. For example, I have Jellyfin installed via docker, and I want it to use https instead of http.

I don't care about necessarily doing this the "right" way, as I won't be making Jellyfin or any other service public, and will only be using it on my local network.

What is the easiest way to do this? Assume everything I host is in docker. Also a link to a tutorial would be great.

Thanks!

I have an RTL-SDR v4, and a Raspberry Pi. I am wondering if there is some way to get the ease of use that comes with the flipper zero with the pi. This is ignoring the packaging, and how small the flipper is. And also ignoring the replaying of signals, as additional hardware would be needed.

Looking for a docker containers or program to run on my server that looks at my list of subscribers (from google takeout or newpipe etc) and downloads them automatically. Ideally there'd be an option to delete after watching, and a nice interface to watch the videos as well. --- Does anything like this exist? Thanks!

Can y'all help get me started with open source drone stuff? Ideally sub 250g. I'm looking to get into the hobby, and don't have anything. Recommendations for controllers, SIMs etc would also be nice.

Why are people happy or approving of AI on apple products, when it seems like the same thing was treated (rightly) horribly when Microsoft just did it.

Is Apple doing it better in some way? Both said it'll be local only, but then Apple is doing some cloud processing now. Do people really just trust Apple more???

Is there something that can generate random Internet usage to make the real sites I go to a bit obfuscated?

I'm thinking something that runs on my server, and simply visits a random website. It probably shouldn't actually be random, and some sort of tweaking would be great. Like the ability to have it visit every news site there is. That way the ISP will have a harder time telling my political bias.

The threat model for this is below using a VPN for normal usage, although getting a dedicated VPN IP address is a project for one day.

Have any of you android users setup an iMessage server such as BoueBubbles or AirMessage? Or some similar?

If so, how well does it work? Is only an apple account required? Do apple users send your email an iMessage? Also, was it easy to setup?

Thanks!!!
