I just use nextcloud as a target for backups (Aegis, Signal, QkSMS). Apps such as KeePassDX I have load the file via nextcloud. My contacts and calendar go through it as well, photos are just set to auto upload along with a few other directories.

As for the home screen layouts, I just take screenshots once I have it how I like and try to remember to take them again if I change stuff.

It’s not a full backup but I’m back up and running fairly quickly (Pixel 5A died on me 3 times in under a one year lifespan per device).

They used to dominate the consumer market prior to Ryzen so might have something to do with it but I got no evidence lol

Me after getting those dumbass Canary cameras that cost $200 a piece then they completely wrecked the free tier then started giving them away for free to get more subscribers.

Car diagnostic software and tunning software?

Hello all. I was looking for a specific Car diagnostic software package and I noticed that this type of software doesn’t come across often on the seas. are their any good places I can go to start looking for this kind of software. The software often cost up to 500 dollars or more and for me it would be a one time maiby 2 time...

radau , (edited )

Really depends on the make, you can get Mitchell and AllData prior to the subscription model (takes about a TB of space, from 1980s to 2013) to help with diagrams and disassembly and reassembly. Mitchell’s wiring diagrams really are a lifesaver.

Dealer level software/scanner combo you can get from obdii365, I got a Hyundai scanner from them and it worked well but you want to run the software in a VM or isolate it some other way and probably wouldn’t network it.

Vxdiag is pretty solid as well for the dealer software/scanner and you can usually get via Amazon but again I wouldn’t trust the software. I have their ford one and used it with IDS to set the VIN on an electronic power steering rack.

The software itself you can find via Google if it’s all you need but typically the scanner is very specific to the software for the dealership stuff

radau ,

Be careful depending on the model, some of those run hot. I managed to kill one in under 2 weeks just by copying a large amount of data to it and had to print a fan shroud for it’s replacement to keep the temps at a reasonable level.

radau ,

I would never go back from qubes. VirtualGL seems promising for the hardware accelerated apps and GPU passthrough for a gaming VM is insane

radau ,

I use iptvini since it’s pretty cheap ($80 for 2 years). For us it’s really just an easy way to watch some sports, running the arr stack and Jellyfin so any shows we’re watching just go through that since ads on TV suck lol

AppleTV hardware now supports Tailscale, with exit nodes.

I am astonished that Apple allowed this blatant circumvention of region coding, but they did.

Get it while it’s hot, I guess.

radau ,

Can connect with Infuse to your server, swiftfin has a ways to go to be ready for primary use

radau ,

You probably unknowingly break multiple laws a day settle down

For just $30 + $5 a month, I'm able to share everything with my family. Here's how.

(Disclaimer: yes, I bought a $180 4TB Crucial SSD too, but my family split the cost with me since they’re going to use my Jellyfin server. Whether that counts towards the final cost is up to you. And the electricity cost is pretty negligible to run a Le Potato as a server, but I guess you can count that too.)...

radau ,

I see no reason to not use both. Got a show you’re watching that has new releases? Have Sonarr track it and auto download them as they release. Want to try a new show but not sure you’ll like it or just a single season? Debrid.

I will say, Jellyfin with Infuse on apple tv is rather easy to use for non technical people where they would struggle with stremio a little more.

Still a far cry from the early XBMC/Kodi days where you had to manually try like 20 sources before you could watch both options really are great

radau ,

Heavily agree, a lot of content had issues playing for me with swiftfin. No issues at all with Infuse other than the fact that intro skipper doesn’t work with it

What is your go to music grabbing solution?

I’m looking for a YR-DLP GUI for just music, or a good way to access music in general. I had a lidarr-on-steroids instance running but it kept disconnecting from deezer and i’d love to get that back up and running but it looks like it’s not supported any more. Yt-dlp looks like a decent enough plan B, but i’m open to...

radau ,

Lidarr for most, soulseek (slskd) for anything Lidarr can’t get in FLAC

radau ,

These cameras work very well with the wz_mini_hacks firmware completely cut off from the internet. I’m using frigate and home assistant for notifying and it’s honestly way better than the wyze app ever was.

I’m running frigate on a Lenovo m900 with the coral USB accelerator and my CPU usage is super low so you could probably get away with the Pi4!

radau ,

Do you have any of their doorbells? I went back to a physical doorbell button with home assistants sky connect dongle linked up to a motion sensor at the door just so I know when someone’s there but would love to get a camera up there that isn’t some ring bs

radau ,

Yeah and whatever you do definitely don’t use Jellyseerr for Jellyfin setups or Overseerr for Plex setups

I remember watching the trailer for that game over and over and over, the first one you could go outside

radau ,

You’ve insulted my entire existence I challenge you to a duel

Are Internet boards and Forums dead

i started using the internet in the late 2000’s and still remember when you search for something most of the times it would return with a forum post … now its just random websites … if you ever need real and concise answer you have to add site:reddit.com at every search and since discord or twitter are not crawlable by...

radau ,

Yep and reddit is slowly closing themselves off, I wouldn’t doubt you eventually have to be logged in to even view anything.

Forums are still around but it’s usually just the older established ones (I’m on stangnet.com and corral.net regularly but they’re car related so lots of technical info). Everything new either went Reddit or Discord it feels like and I’ll never install Discord.

I think Jellyfin started a forum post reddit but I haven’t gone looking yet for that one.

Information is absolutely getting harder to find online and if archive.org goes down we’re really screwed

radau ,

You’re what’s wrong with politics these days. You don’t have to be fully locked in to one side you know?

radau ,

Wow he must’ve struck a nerve with you to get this reply

radau ,

I’ve got 3 Wyze cam v3s running the wyze mini hacks firmware sectioned off in a VLAN that can only reach Frigate (no internet).

I have frigate running on a cheap Lenovo M900 I got on ebay for $65 that has an i7 and 8gb of memory and it actually does fairly well without the Google coral USB TPU as long as that was the only service on that system. Trying to run Frigate on my NUC with other services without a TPU caused some issues with CPU usage but with a TPU I would bet it’ll all run on the one system.

Home assistant works exceptionally well for notifying, one of my cameras I have on UDP since the signal isn’t great and get a couple artifacts that trip it up but other than that it has been much quicker to notify and more reliable than anything in the consumer market I’ve tried so far.

radau ,

I used gpt4 for terraform and it was kind of all over the place in terms of fully deprecated methods. It felt like a nice jumping off point but honestly probably would’ve been less work to just write it up from the docs in the first place.

I can definitely see how it could help someone fumble through it and come up with something working without knowing what to look for though.

Was also having weird issues with it truncating outputs and needing to split it, but even telling it to split would cause it to kind of stall.

3d modelling and slicing software for Linux

Hi y’all! This may be a stupid question, but here it goes anyways: I’m thinking of trying to install Linux on a laptop that’s getting slow because of a bloated Windows install. I basically only use it for some internet browsing and 3D modelling (Fusion360) and slicing for my 3D printer (Cura). Is such software available...

radau ,

I started with openscad and moved to freecad. Freecad is powerful but definitely not perfect but it has suited my needs fairly well.

I’m still a holdout for superslicer but I did migrate my profiles to PrusaSlicer for those sweet organic supports.

radau ,

Doesn’t mean much with how bad the QA and overall lifespan of Pixel devices have been unfortunately. Hopefully better this time but hard to want to put money in when the previous generations all had such issues and bad QC.

Extending warranty for the 5As then handing out equally defective devices is a pain. I’m on my 3rd one and I’m really not planning on it surviving over a year since none of the others did and when they died I was sitting down using the phone.

Only thing keeping me on them is GrapheneOS, too difficult to go back after getting a taste of it lol

radau ,

While not something I would ever use, I can definitely see the use. It does look nice but as someone who has experienced Microsoft from the start it’s gonna be a no for me.

radau ,

Yep I only use Instagram and the fighting in comments of reels is extremely prevalent.

Content creators will even intentionally misspell things to try to kick it off if it’s a reel where the intention is to insult someone else.

radau ,

Weird mine was $0

radau ,

Dont let them know about that I don’t want my radar detector flipping out for laser lol

radau ,

K and KA band are used for blind spot monitoring and would make radar detectors go nuts until filtering got worked out, cars that use Lidar will set them off as well though they’re more rare still

radau ,

Maybe because I dunno, it’s a detector? I’d love to try to explain it further but it seems like you’re being intentionally oblivious so why bother lol

radau ,

Yeah and they have no top end

radau ,

I added mine to an existing compose file and was up and running in a couple minutes. I only use it for chore tracking so cant speak to the rest of it.

Surprised he doesn’t want to strap pillows to them

AirVPN, for over a decade and they’ve kept my ports the whole time

radau ,

Yeah I never used their UI I just add the ones I use to networkmanager so its a little more integrated to my OS

radau ,

I used to think people who downloaded videos on YouTube, forum posts with guides or useful info and other data were weird.

They were right.

With archive.org under threat some of it will be gone for good unfortunately. Save what you can when you can it might not be there later.

radau ,

My longest lived backlog task is 3 years old

radau ,

Welcome to chatrooms, they were always like this its just a lost phenomenon to most people especially those that didn’t grow up with them. Ignore and move on is pretty standard practice, I’m on slskd and I’ve only gotten DMs not sure if it even has the chat enabled by default

radau ,

You have a choice of where you go and what you do, if you dislike something then don’t go there. I never used 4chan or similar and ignoring it is easy for me you just have to stop caring so much

radau ,

I’m patiently waiting for my 4th Pixel 5A RMA since they love frying motherboards outta nowhere but damn once you get grapheneos going it really is something else

radau ,

Great rebuttal lmao

radau ,

I know what I’m doing when I get my 4th RMAd Pixel 5A back lol

radau ,

You can get some decent stuff for not much. Unfortunately harbor freight isn’t what it used to be but its still OK for basic hand tools. Major stuff I’d rent. I threw all my stuff in a duffel bag when I lived in an apartment and it worked decent but digging for tools sucked lol.

Would be cool if there were groups for it to get people started off and save a little money without buying anything

radau ,

Yep these are a great starter I got one about a month ago for $70 with everything included to go alongside my NUC and its been fantastic with proxmox running LXC containers

What is your unbiased opinion on Manjaro?

I am a Linux noobie and have only used Mint for around six months now. While I have definitely learned a lot, I don’t have the time to always be doing crazy power user stuff and just want something that works out of the box. While I love Mint, I want to try out other decently easy to use distros as well, specifically not based...

radau ,

Flawless on my thinkpad T480, occasionaly some issues on my gaming PC usually nvidia drivers post update but not as much lately

radau ,

I remember it used to be popular in gaming groups and some music around 2008-2012 and a lot of variations of the same gas mask character were made

radau ,

I literally bought the wrong version of a game called Heretic on Amazon in the early 2000s because it “had a cool penguin on it” lmao

radau ,

Oh it was we just had to return it and buy the right one haha the shareware copy held me over for a bit longer
