  • AUR. If it doesn't exist on AUR (very unlikely, but happens something), I make a package for it.

    On non-arch distros, I often use LURE.

    What's the easiest way to host a music colletion (FLAC)?
  • Navidrome does that. I think you just used a bad frontend. Try Tempo if you're using Android. Or Feishin on desktop.

    What's the easiest way to host a music colletion (FLAC)?
  • I've been very happy with Navidrome. I have it accessible on a subdomain, so I can just use it from wherever I want. Feishin is a great frontend for Linux desktop, and Tempo is a great frontend for Android.

    My friend uses Jellyfin instead of Navidrome, and he's also happy with it. Both the frontends that I mentioned work with Jellyfin as well.

    Microsoft's 'Recall' feature can't be uninstalled after all
  • Right in front of me is a guy editing a >10 page LaTeX file in Overleaf on a 13 inch laptop. The sidebar takes like 1/3rd of the screen. The editor in around 3 inches in width, and he needs to zoom into the PDF preview to read it.

    My point in, some people simply don't care about anything.

    Anyone with problems with duckdns DynDNS?

    I think I am socially ostrasized, what should I do?
  • Getting a job won't make things easier. Most people need human friends to live a fulfilling life. I think you might be imagining that people dislike you, as we socially awkward people often do. Just try talking to people, and you'll surely make a few friends. I'm socially awkward, but make it a point to attend some social gatherings outside of classes/job so that I'm basically forced to talk to people, no matter how hard it is. If you're just starting university, it'll be easier as everyone is trying to make friends, and there'll be many open events. For later years, it might be a bit harder, but try joining some clubs. I've found astronomy clubs to be pretty chill and welcoming to new members.

    Just make it a point to attend some social events. There will definitely be people who will appreciate your personality, just give them the chance to get to know you.

    (All of this is assuming you don't have some underlying mental condition. If you find it hard to follow this advice, maybe seek help from a professional.)

    NAS / NAS + server? Unraid, Proxmox, Intel, AMD? Looking for guidance.
  • What I've realized in my (very limited) experience in selfhosting, it's always best to use a general purpose server OS rather than anything geared to a specific usecase, unless that's the only thing you're gonna use it for. So, if you want a separate NAS drive, then it's a good idea to use TrueNAS on it. But on your main server, it'll be best to use some sort of RHEL downstream distro like AlmaLinux.

    What are the scariest horror movies?
  • I don't get scared easily, but Kothanodi had me watching through my fingers. It has four vaguely connected stories, and two of them are very fucked up. There's a decent amount of infanticide and other atrocities inflicted on minors, so be warned if you have any childhood trauma.

    Also by the same director, the movie Aamis is about cannibalism acting as a replacement for sex. It's pretty fucked up as well.

    “Something has gone seriously wrong,” dual-boot systems warn after Microsoft update
  • Yeah, dual booting on a single drive causes more harm than good. It's very annoying, and I've seen people think it's Linux's fault, saying "I can boot into Windows just fine." It's like saying a bully is the better kid since he never has dirty clothes.

    I want to get a new VPS. It'll mostly be used to host lightweight Docker images, and reverse proxying through Caddy. So, decent CPU and fast network speeds are the main things I need.

    I have a cheap VPS with RackNerd. It's fine, but only has a single CPU core, which gets overwhelmed if multiple connections are trying to pull stuff from some service. So, I guess having multiple cores is a requirement as well.

    I want to spend around $5/month, but willing to go a little higher if it's worth it. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    P.S. I'm based in US and would prefer something in here for lower latency.

    Update: Hetzner's CX22 IPV6 only plan seems to be very good in terms of price-performance ratio. But the servers are in Europe. I'm planning to try it out for a while and see how the latency is. It's great that they don't lock you in with yearly plans.

    I currently run a personal wiki for some notes, recipes, and stuff. It's set up using Wiki.js as the server. I'm the only regular user, and I feel like it's a bit of an overkill.

    Does someone have any suggestions for a more lightweight wiki server? I tried DokuWiki and mostly like it. But the UI is very old and dare I say, ugly. I love the UI of Wiki.js btw.

    My main criteria is that it should be lightweight. I don't need fancy editing features. Happy to work with raw html or markdown files.

    I need some kind of permission management to hide some private wikis from the public, but otherwise I don't really care.

    My goal is to automatically close the environment while editing a tex file. There was an issue for vimtex asking for basically what I want to achieve. They achieve it using snippets as mentioned there.

    The problem is, I have no idea how to set it up. I've never used snippets in nvim. I have vim-vsnip and cmp-vsnip installed as it was needed for another plugin to work. Is it possible to implement this using those?

    It can be noted that in vimtex, an environment can be closed by typing ]] which is a mapping of vimtex-delim-close. I basically want to emulate the behavior in VS Code using LaTeX Workshop. It auto-closes the environment, adds an indented line in the middle, and moves the cursor there.

    If anyone has any other ideas about doing this without snippets, that's welcome too.

    This post is mostly for me to look at alternatives. I currently subscribe to Trade. But recently I've been hearing about their bad practices like sending packages with wrong weight, or paying very little money to the roasters.

    If you like your current subscription, please place a link so that others can check it out. If you don't, and want to switch, tell why so that I can avoid it too.

    For the last few months, I've been splitting a bag of coffee beans into 2-3 portions and freezing them. I've seen that it extends the freshness by a bit. Now, I've been storing them in older coffee bags (the standard sealable ones) since they take up less space than jars and also I'm just reusing something that would've gone to landfill/compost.

    I do clean them of residues of older beans and don't use a bag more than 2 times since I get new bags whenever I buy beans anyway. Are there any health/quality issues that might arise from this that I should be aware of? Should I just store them in sealed glass jars instead?

    I currently use TickTick for managing my todo tasks. i haven't been able to find an FOSS replacement for it yet.

    The main features that I need in an app like this would be:

    1. It should be accessible from the desktop. Don't necessarily need an app, a website is good enough.
    2. It should have a decent android app with a home screen widget for listing all the upcoming and overdue tasks.
    3. It'll be really nice if it can interpret date and time from the task description to add reminders. For example, writing "Remind me to get some milk at 6pm" will put a reminder for that task at 6PM.

    Please let me know if you know about such an app. Thanks.
