Is there a place I can give review/rating to any random object or service?
  • There used to be a website called exitreviews.com but it redirects to looria.com now, which is an actual company and I can't tell if there's bias or not.

    It used to be intended for reviewing any product (usually upon failure).

    Samsung Gallery app is scanning my photos and creating stories without permission
  • It can be done with adb:

    https://r1.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-s/how-to-delete-samsung-gallery-and-use-just-google-photos/m-p/7147930/highlight/true#M77865

    You can if you use adb shell:

    Developer Options > USB debugging turned on CMD prompt > adb devices Allow connection from the PC prompt on phone

    Then add shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.sec.android.gallery3d

    This will remove Gallery, BUT... The stock camera will not allow you to view the pic after you take it (it will show up in Google Photos still)

    To restore the above removed app:

    cmd package install-existing com.sec.android.gallery3d

    Croup can eat a bag of dicks.
  • I had croup often as a kid. It was often enough that I knew, as a little 4 or 5 year old, to run a hot shower and sit on the edge in the middle of the night to help clear it up a little and cough up a bunch of nasty stuff.

    One night I woke up short of breathe again and started the shower but it didn't get better. I woke my parents up and apparently my lips were blue. I was so dehydrated and my throat was so irritated that it started closing up.

    If this becomes a chronic thing as he gets older, use a steaming hot shower to act as a home remedy. It works similarly to the nebulizer.

    I believe they should be using normal saline 0.9% unless they see a reason to use an inhaled steroid. The steroid has an anti-inflammatory effect that reduces any possible swelling in the respiratory tract. Normal saline just helps loosen up the mucous stuck in the respiratory tract. A steamy shower would do the same once he's a little older.

    I hope it all works out.

    Photos from U.S. military bases show mold, mice, roaches and brown water in living quarters and dining areas
  • Yeah, that's pretty standard. One of the barracks at my last command had been condemned and cordoned off, pending demolition. A few weeks later, a unit was returning from deployment and they realized they didn't have a place to put them so that barracks was magically usable again.

    It's almost a guarantee to have black mold, roaches, and water issues.

    TV with infared sensor (mac mini)
  • I have a FLIRC remote with the receiver and use it for both my TV and HTPC.

    It's awesome once set up, but the app is honestly dogshit. They put in all these smooth menu transitions and whatnot, making it painfully difficult to configure the remote.

    Laptop Recommendation Please (Solved)
  • So, once OS updates are unavailable, the machine might become a weak link from security standpoint or stop running some software.

    That's why I specified:

    Double check before buying that it can be wiped and you can put Linux on it.

    Laptop Recommendation Please (Solved)
  • Yep, that's what I started with. I had a 2014 Toshiba Chromebook with 16 GB storage and 2 GB memory.

    It was my lil ssh/vnc machine for the longest time until the battery stopped working. I replaced it with a proper Thinkpad recently.

  • I have a couple things set up:

    The configuration:

    • DNS points to my IP
    • Nginx configured to point to Authentik for the metube subdomain
    • Authentik configured to point to the correct containers after authenticating

    What I'm experiencing: Upon initial login to Authentik, MeTube works correctly. Restarting or closing the browser causes MeTube to fail to connect to the server until I clear cookies and re-authenticate (see picture). Accessing MeTube by its port on the host IP works fine. All other services connect fine.

    Does anyone know what is causing this?

    Related note - I've seen MeTube do this before when the container wasn't even running. I think it has something to do with how much info the container caches in the browser or something.

    Setup:

    Debian running podman. Containers and compose files are managed with Dockge. qBit and Gluetun are on a single compose file and all qBit traffic is routed through Gluetun.

    qBit seems to starts first before Gluetun is fully set up and qBit doesn't see the open port. Every time I start them together, I have to manually restart qBit again once Gluetun is ready. Once it's restarted, it shows as open and connected again.

    I tried looking for ways to delay startup in a compose file but I didn't get any results.

    Is there a solution to this?

    I've got a portable monitor that only takes one single USB-C input. The Pi 4 can't deliver enough power to keep it on. The monitor power cycles endlessly when plugged into the pi.

    Is there a way I could give it more power somehow?

    I'm planning out my next homelab when I move soon. I have the floor plans and it looks like the best place for my computer is not centrally located, so the Wi-Fi won't be ideal. I'd like to run the cables a short distance so the router would be in a better spot.

    I'm just renting and will likely only be here for a year so I don't want to do any drilling. I just want to secure the cables somehow to the crease where the wall and ceiling meet.

    The total length will only be about 20 feet to the router.

    I just want to toggle the alternative speeds while Plex is streaming outside my house. I couldn't find anything while looking around except for some old scripts that haven't been updated in years.

    Is there already something like this? I'm using Duplicati and a cloud storage provider to back up all my docker configs. It encrypts everything before uploading.

    Is there anything similar to this that acts as a seamless interface for cloud services, but with user encryption added in between? Not so much for a backup plan but just for regular cloud storage?

    I'm just a novice at self hosting and I see a lot of talk about the risks of exposing stuff to the world. Here's my setup:

    -Rpi4 hosting Overseerr -Desktop computer hosting Nginx and some Cloudflare DDNS update containers

    Cloudflare directs request.domain.com to my home IP address. Nginx forces HTTPS and directs the request to the Pi.

    Is there any risk in this setup or are there more steps I can take to secure it?
