I do want to get paperless working again, I screwed up the container and haven’t gotten it going again. but I think it’s too much for what I’m trying for

Yeahhhhh Google is out

This might be exactly what I’m looking for. Its usually the simplest answer that works, right? I got fossify camera and made a separate save folder. Good idea!

I had seen this, but never thought about it. I may try it

I don’t think this is what I’m looking for, but it looks awesome for the right application. Awesome job!

#8 And as a sidenote I took them as hand-me-downs and only stopped using them this year.

I bitch about this every time I’m drive anything but my old truck that still has these!

Its comical that in the last 25 years Linux has gone from a nerd-only tool to something that a 10 year old can install on an air-fryer and still we deal with this bs

I’m really going to miss Self-Hosted, it brought a community of us weirdos together. I hope someone fills the vacuum left after ep. 150

They’ve critiqued themselves on this. None of us are completely pure. At least they have an active matrix channel

I feel like its better than google. I switched to DDG a couple years ago. 6 months ago I did a trial run with a self hosted search that only used google as a back end, the results felt like garbage

I have two TV boxes, one is a Raspberry pi 4, the other is a pi 5. I installed KonstaKANG’s android port for the Pi’s. Depending on your familiarity with flashing the Pi’s this video from Explaining Computers offers a way to get Konsta installed through PINN. Once they’re up and running they act just like a cellphone. This remote works really well.

Install f-droid, and/or obtainium, and/or Aurora Store and you can install whatever apps you want on the box.

I don’t personally use Chromecast, so I can’t vouch for that working. Mine is more centered around consuming Jellyfin (jellyfin android tv app), youtube (newpipe), podverse, and Radiodroid

I really liked Kodi, but could never get it to correctly sync across devices so I finally went the android route. I’ve been pretty happy

Feel free to pick my brain if you have more questions

I dont think I so much want this for my phone as for my homemade AndroidTV boxes. Losing the Linux functionality after switching from Kodi/libreelec had been my biggest pain point.

Can’t wait to see my TV boxes show up in my Beszel dashboard!

Fuuuuuckkkk I wish I could degoogle again

Don’t be evil, lol

I could have the best self hosted setup… living in a van, down by the river!

This thought came to me this morning. I have 4 machines both because the BEAST grows organically, and because we’re always trying to avoid that single point of failure. Then a scenario comes along that makes you question your whole way of thinking, diversifying may actually create more problems

I didn’t mean to imply that Services actually broke. Only that they didn’t come back after a reboot. A clean reboot may have caused some of the same issues because, I’m learning as I go. Some services are restarted by systemctl, some by cron, some…manual. This is certainly a wake up call that I need standardize and simplify the way the services are started.

I’m sorry, what?..Oh, all I heard was that my linux home server is going to be running on new hardware in about a year and a half when all these used computers go on sale. 😁

I take any chance I can to drop a Chris Barnett link:

Ventoy

Richmond would be perfect for this
