I use WireGuard to access my home services and for net-forwarding when I’m outside.
To set it up, I followed this simple guide.

FreshRSS has been working great for me! It even has the ability for web scraping if you need it.

There’s some tinkering with their docker-compose.yml to make it work. Here’s mine you can copy if you want to get it up and running. I don’t use nginx or any reverse-proxy btw. All data is saved in their own individual volumes which you can back up:

Some of my documents rely on certain packages which didn’t come with the Docker image. You will need to run
docker exec sharelatex-sharelatex-1 tlmgr update --self;docker exec sharelatex-sharelatex-1 tlmgr install scheme-full
so that you can render your documents properly if they utilize certain packages.

Optionally—since the full scheme takes about 8 GB and you may not need everything—you can replace scheme-full with a different scheme you can find by running
docker exec sharelatex-sharelatex-1 tlmgr info schemes
The i before any scheme name means that it is already installed.

Update:
Included a texlive volume to save any packages that were installed, so when recreating the containers, they will persist.

I checked the volumes that I included in the compose file, and looked for either a texlive, tlmgr or a package folder and didn’t find anything. I think it’s safe to assume that you would need to reinstall the packages if you recreated the containers.

This is a problem that I didn’t consider. I will try to make an update to my compose file that will keep the packages persistent.

Check above for the update!

Also, I’d like to point out that Overleaf’s hosting and pricing options are quite reasonable, especially if you’re working for a university or institution: www.overleaf.com/user/subscription/plans

While I did take advantage of the free Overleaf Pro during my university days, I don’t have it anymore after graduating, and so I’m missing some features which their free tier doesn’t have.
By self-hosting I’m given better control, and all those features I once had before.

Also, the whole point of this community is to kind of avoid relying on third-party hosting, and especially paying for it too🙂

Throwback to Microsoft’s pre-Kinect project dubbed Xbox ‘Natal’ way back in the day.
Being younger, I—along with many—really thought that was the close future of gaming. In hindsight, of course it was all fabricated.
I’m not surprised by Google’s Gemini demo video either. The way that which the whole demo was narrated and played out made it seem too linear, too perfect.

Stop feeding the troll…

november , 7 months ago

Maybe I have mistaken you for a troll, but your behavior and recent posts on this community say otherwise as they are low-effort and look like bait. Asking questions is always a good thing, I don’t want to discourage you from that. Though you should keep the hypothetical, unrealistic ones in your head as they are contributing nothing here and only waste other people’s time.

It seems you are just young and naive judging from your profile picture, so here’s some advice:
Post less, and research/read more before asking anything. It’ll make you grow faster, not only as a developer, but it also teaches you to think things through better and so you can learn things easily in the future. (RTFM anyone?)

I’m not sure if I am I having deja vu, but didn’t someone make this exact post two weeks ago or so?

Do you own an action cam and does it work with Linux?

I have a DJI Action 3. It works with no issues on (Arch) Linux.

What totally rad sport/hobby do you use it for?

I mount it to my helmet while I’m out riding my motorcycle on the streets as sort of a dashcam.

Are you able to update the firmware over Linux or from he device itself? (I have windows for emergencies, but prefer not to use it.

The one thing I hate about the Action 3 is that it requires a mobile app to do firmware updates. Just to start using it requires registration on their DJI Mimo app which is terrible.

How does the device mount and have you had issues with file transfers?

The device lets you choose if it is as a webcam or storage for mounting when turned on if it is plugged in through USB.

Is there any special software that helps you use your device, for example “piper” can help me configure fancy mice.

The Action 3 doesn’t have anything special, but a search on the AUR shows there are some for GoPros.

Can you use your device as a webcam?

Answered above.
