looks a bit more saner.. imo they're making such huge rounded+padding ui to sell bigger display panels lol. doesn't help ux at all when the text isn't any bigger.
My understanding is that someone with port forwarding can find one without, but not the other way around. I enabled port forwarding for a while (without VPN) and my upload increased a lot. Though I'm a bit scared with my IP being linked to it so it's off for now..
By web based I mean they're not a native desktop program and such.
Just curious, but is there anything that provides background sync on iOS except iCloud?
Thanks. I've actually already seen it, but it wasn't enough as it only listed web hosted solutions and I found most of them lacking for my needs. Thankfully others' comments below are pretty inspiring :)
Thanks. I should try making my requirements clearer. I'm curious, is there a reason you use Resilio despite it being proprietary over other solutions(like rsync scripts)?
Seems like I'll be going on a setup pretty similar to this. Thanks!
That's great, I never knew Photoprism can detect and work with digikam's sidecar files. Thanks for sharing.
Seems like Syncthing is loved by many :) Not too sure how much it'd differ from rsync scripts, but I'll give it a try. Thanks!
I don't have that much data now, I usually lack storage (or computer equipments in general) so I tend to not store much. Those laptops have about 1TB storage each so that would hopefully be enough for me now. As they're old and have ODD I can also have two drives on one, but I'm not sure if that's needed for me now. I'd avoid external drives as they aren't really reliable.
I see. The lack of a desktop client seems to be Immich's biggest con. I guess NextCloud wouldn't be the best choice here. Thanks for replying.
Nice. So you have home folders of each machines in NextCloud? Are you using their official client to sync automatically or on a certain schedule? I never knew Jellyfin can be used as a photo library. Thanks :)
I wish lol. I don't have a dedicated(?) hardware, just multiple laptops in various locations. They've ran pretty stable for the last few years of 24/7 use though. I'm thinking having some files synced to local would be enough backup, compared to none i have now (aside from few manual work).
Thanks for replying. Is there a reason you use Immich over NextCloud's NextCloud Photos? Also I've occasionally heard NextCloud is pretty slow, is it okay for you? You're using their official client program to sync files?
Hi. Sorry for the vague title. Nowadays I'm using multiple computers and get to need files and such from other machines pretty often. My music and photos library has also increased and it's getting much harder to maintain with it being scattered across many machines. Basically I'm trying to have a photo library and plain files(documents, music, etc) shared across computers.
For plain files I'm thinking nfs+samba would be the best approach, but there are problems. They have speed issues, but as I can't afford large space for all my machines I can't keep a full rsync'd local copies everywhere too.
The photos are my bigger concern, as I'm looking for a tagging feature. A plain directory structure would be easy to sync but those tags would differ by programs.. desktop programs like digikam or xnview(sadly proprietary) would work well if I didn't need syncing, but I'm not sure if they'd work reliably with all their configs/files stored over nfs. Plus, these programs would have incompatibilities by platform and not work at all on android.
Web based solutions like Immich or NextCloud Photos appear to be pretty famous nowadays, but I'm not sure about them as well. They seem to be overkill for my purpose, and those mostly tend to be very new & i'm not too sure about their future, as they store tags and such on their own formats.
Edit: Oops, forgot to say. I have multiple servers right now, one offsite running FreeBSD, another running Devuan, and one at home running FreeBSD.
I'd love to hear how others are maintaining their system. Thanks for reading.
Does Neo backup work well? Kinda reminds me of Titanium Backup.
how is this even related to the question? this isn't about any embedded linux, op stated it's an android unit. and said it's faster "than" other android phones and zygote applies to all so it's unrelated also.
Use a lightweight browser like SeaMonkey, use a content/JS blocker like uBlock Origin plus uMatrix(eMatrix). Only enable required scripts and such
Hello all. I'm looking for (a) program(s) to manage & document things in life. Mainly these features are what I need:
- Diary, random notes(like a wiki?) with version control
- TODO list, auto added to diary at that time period
- Ability to attach images and text files to those diary, notes
- Calendar with schedule synced with TODO
- Easy backup, preferably in plaintext or simple db
- Text search
Currently I'm using SeaMonkey and my phone(android) to manage calendar (so two separated ones), a paper note to write diaries and use dokuwiki for random notes. This setup is too complicated and isn't productive at all.
I do think my requirements are kinda abstract, and there most likely isn't a single program that can do all this. Although basic I'm a novice FreeBSD & Emacs+evil user so *nix-only or text-based utilities are okay. I'm not aware of any program that meets these needs, is there anything that resembles what I'm thinking? Thanks!
Hi. I have a group of 6 people using Discord to chat. Recently Discord changed a lot and we're looking for an alternative. We have a few requirements:
- Good client on multiple platforms
- Easy to use search
- Self hosted
- Permanently saved chat history & attachments on server (no expiration)
- Easy image upload (Ctrl+V to post image from clipboard)
IRC isn't an option as chat history is saved on the client, and there's no good integrated way to share files and preview images. Matrix would be an overkill as we're a small group not interested in federation, and the available clients had a few bugs. Mattermost lacks a good mobile app (their current one had bunch of bugs). XMPP appears to be the best as it is extensible and has many clients available.
However, I tried configuring prosody on my FreeBSD server and it seems like it doesn't permanently save chat history or attachment files. Does anyone know if these can be solved? Or is there any better alternative than XMPP?
Thanks.
Hello. I just upgraded my ramips router (ipTIME A3004NS-dual, 256mb ram, 64GB USB) to OpenWrt 23.05, so far it's working well. I'd like some extra privacy (my country is known to do some internet censoring) and filter connections to sites I do not want (advertisements, telemetry) and AdGuard Home paired with Unbound seems perfect for this.
Before upgrading I used to run a DoH setup on OpenWrt with CloudFlare's DNS, but I now want to remove dependencies to these public 'private' DNS servers.
I did try searching a lot, but unfortunately as I'm pretty new to networking and hosting things I'm not quite able to understand what I read. Some guides mention using Unbound but still does setup Google/CloudFlare DNS, is that used as a fallback of some sort?
If someone has already done something similar I'd very much appreciate some guidance on how this should be done.. Thanks!
EDIT: I think I got it working.. but I'd be glad if someone can please tell me a way to test it. dnsleaktest.com shows "None" for hostname..
I followed [1] to install unbound, then changed unbound's port to 5353, set AdGuardHome's port to 53 and set AdGuardHome's DNS settings (Upstream, Bootstrap, Private reverse) to 127.0.0.1:5353. After a reboot it seems to work properly, except that I can no longer connect to other machines using their hostnames. (Previously I could just ssh the machine darkstar using ssh hexagonwin@darkstar, now I need to ssh hexagonwin@192.168.1.XXX)
