  • Removed

    Stop cramming everything onto one Pi: treat your home lab like a tiny ISP - hardware, stack, backups and an update plan

  • They removed the Battery Management System from the battery and wired it up to power as an alternative to soldering directly to the small phone board. Turns out this phone also needs usb charging at the same time because otherwise it assumes the battery is dying even if it's not?

    If anyone else is curious, they documented it here:

  • Backups of Backups

    Jump

  • That works but there are times where a machine/service dies completely or hangs mid-process for a couple of days. You can account for a lot of those cases, but having a separate system that just looks for success rather than monitoring for failure works betters in my experience.

    Or if you just want notifications, ntfy is really nice and selfhostable.

  • Backups of Backups

    Jump

  • I'd recommend using a job monitoring service that will alerts you if it doesn't get a check in. It's very useful if your backups fail silently or hang mid-job for some reason.

    I use https://healthchecks.io/ since it has a free tier and it works well.

  • New to Godot, I have some quick questions on the editor

    Jump

  • Question 1: The editor gives hints when it knows the type. You can use static typing. For the demo, you'd want something like var mob: Node2d = mob_scene.instantiate(). or RigidBody2D? Depending on what it actually is.

    I'm not sure if there is a vim binding plugin. Editing in an external editor without integration works fine, you just have to confirm to reload when you focus godot.

    For neovim integration you'd have to use the external editor feature. You just set up a command to run with the proper args when you choose to edit a file. In practice you set up neovim to listen over a pipe, and godot sends the command to open a file and go to a line. It's not trivial to set up but it's possible.

    This tutorial seems good: https://simondalvai.org/blog/godot-neovim/

    For beginner godot tutorials, I recommend Brackeys: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPV2KyIb3jR7ecat0FBEMv2EZgsDg6Wcv

  • What are the advantages/disadvantages of the different backup solutions?

    Jump

  • Here are some features off the top of my head that some backups software might have that other don't, or that you'll want to consider when choosing or making a system:

    • Application aware backups: E.G. DB Backups without shutting down the database. Could also be hypervisor/container awareness.
    • Restore: The ability to automatically restore files, systems, possibly to a new location.
    • Application aware restore/browsing: Being able to pull individual files from a backup, or accounts from a directory system
    • Backup copy: Automatically copying the backup to multiple destinations, disk or S3.
    • Retention: Automatically keeping a set number of backups, often including a number of weekly or monthly historical long term copies.
    • Backup Diffs: Keeping backups in a way that you only store the data changed rather than a full copy.
    • Compression: Compressing the stored data
    • Immutability: Keeping backups in a way that allows a (usually cloud) storage provider to lock files for X amount of days to prevent malicious deletions
    • Encryption: Encrypting your backups if they're kept on someone else's infrastructure or a non-secured area
    • Verification: Checking that the backups are intact and not corrupt.
    • Control panel: A single place to view the progress and completeness of all backups
    • Alerts: Notifications for failed backups, or hooks for successful backups for healthchecks.
    • Virus scans: Making sure a backups is malware-free before restore.
    • Retries: Ability to retry backups or copies in case of temporary outages before sending alerts

    I'm not sure which of these exist in free software, my experience is mostly on enterprise software. A backups system can be as simple as a rsync/zip cron job or a full integrated system depending on what you need.

  • how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?

    Jump

  • I'll second navidrome.

    I've also added bonob to expose it to some sonos hardware I got for free. I've found it's the easiest way to get custom music and streaming radio into sonos. Music Assistant buffers for some reason.

    I'm having the same issues with exposing it. I have mine behind Caddy+caddy-security and it works well through the browser, but I haven't found a native app that can handle that method. I think I'll add it to tailscale eventually to work around that.

  • What version control software do you use?

    Jump

  • I've been trying out Jujutsu recently.

    It's compatible with git repos. The workflow takes a little while to get used to but can be nicer to work with.

  • Lets contribute to OpenStreetMaps!

    Jump

  • EveryDoor works well on iOS for simple things like updating or adding shops etc.

    "Go Map!!" is another one, and while I find it's interface a bit harder to work with, it has a "Quests" setting, which lets you configure a filter of missing tags that show up on the map.

  • Which selfhosted TTS provider should I use with home assistant?

    Jump

  • I was curious and it uses gTTS.

    It calls what's probably the "speak" button on translate.google.com

    This project is leveraging the undocumented Google Translate speech functionality

  • Radarr: Path: Folder '/data/' is not writable by user 'abc'

    Jump

  • Try running the chown outside of the container: chown -R 1000:1000 /home/privatenoob/media/storage1/Filmek

  • Any good RSS Feed service for self-hosting?

    Jump

  • I've used Commafeed for a while and am now self-hosting it using Docker.

  • Is there any useable Instagram frontend or scraper ?

    Jump

  • That's strange, but it does have a redirect to proxigram feature once installed.

  • Need help understanding a back-up script

    Jump

  • If you want to get more in depth, I've been using this container:

    https://github.com/jareware/docker-volume-backup

    It can be setup in the same compose or in it's own, and it supports pre/post commands if you want to dump a db or stop a container before backup.

    Additionally, Setting a post backup command like in their docs:

    POST_BACKUP_COMMAND: "docker run --rm -e DRY_RUN=false -e DAILY=3 -e WEEKLY=1 -e MONTHLY=1 -v /backup:/archive ghcr.io/jan-brinkmann/docker-rotate-backups"

    Lets you specify the number of backups retained per period, E.G. 3 daily, 1 weekly, 1 monthly.

    You could also mix and match.
