As soon as FUTO gets a split layout, I’m definitely switching over, if for no other reason than the slider for how aggressive auto correct is. I’m so sick of Gboard constantly correcting the word I meant with one that doesn’t make any sense.

Technology has been solving problems people don’t have since… Always. No one had a problem listening to music from an 8 track tape, but that technology still died and we moved on. The truth is that an increasing majority of consumers either don’t care or even prefer wireless headphones. If you consider not having a headphone jack a deal breaker, then you’re not the market most phone manufacturers are after. Sorry to break it to you. Good news though, there are still several smartphone models that have a headphone jack. Buy one of those. Or get whatever phone you want and get a $5 adapter. Or just sit on the internet seething every time a new phone comes out without an increasingly niche feature. Up to you.

I kind of can’t believe we’re still having this conversation. It’s ridiculously cheap and easy to use wired earbuds with a modern phone if you want to. I got it back when it was just iPhones and Apple was selling lighting to 3.5 adapters for like $7k, but that’s obviously not the case anymore. If someone wants to hold on to their 5+ year old phone and run it dead, that’s great. More power to them. Doing it to avoid getting a phone with no headphone jack is a little silly at this point, though.

In a few days I’ll be moving to a new state to be closer with my long distance girlfriend of a year. I’ve been feeling pretty directionless and stuck for a long time now, so I’m looking forward to being able to start a new chapter of my life.

Because someone screen capped it from Instagram, and for some reason static images need to be videos with a random song playing.

To be fair… Flakes are still marked as an experimental feature, so they are telling you it probably won’t be documented and the interface could change. But yes, given how widely adopted they are in the community, it’s definitely time to document them better and ideally make it the default for new setups.

I’ve used nextcloud for a while now, but it does suffer from jack of all trades syndrome. I’ve started offloading the things I use it for to other services that do a particular thing better. Syncthing for general file syncing across my devices, Immich for managing photos, Radicale for contacts and calendar sync…

If you’re just looking for an all in one Google Drive like experience for your files though, Nextcloud is as good as it gets.

I use Portainer and it’s a good UI, but I find the way they market business edition pretty scummy. Like having a banner ad constantly visible on the page, and having half the features visible but disabled with a big bright “upgrade to Business Edition” message next to them, and directly refusing to add any mechanism to opt out. I respect that they need funding for development, but they need to realize that a lot of their users simply don’t need a business license and aren’t going to buy one no matter how much advertisement you throw at them. The fact that they don’t realize that and refuse to budge indicates to me that they’ve stopped caring about the user experience of their product.

Sorry for the rant, I’ve been annoyed by this for a long time. Some day I’ll set up my own gitops pipeline, but that pesky day job keeps getting in the way.

This doesn’t directly answer your question, but highly recommend checking out https://trash-guides.info/

They have a ton of guides on how to configure and automate really detailed rules for sonarr/radarr. So, while it won’t help you verify the download matches the labels, it’ll make it more likely to get releases from reputable sources that are more likely to use accurate labels.

This seems like a good time to mention that if you live in the US, there’s currently a significant amount of federal money up for grabs to expand the rail network, with an emphasis on high speed rail. See if there are any projects being planned in your state, and make your voice heard so NIMBYs and airline industry cronies don’t bully us out of a vastly superior mode of inter-city transit.

That sounds interesting. Thanks for the recommendation!

Part of me is starting to wonder, honestly. I will say that the web UI for TrueNAS Scale is leagues better than Unraid’s, which to me always felt confusing and hacked together. ZFS is also really nice, although Unraid did recently add support.

One pain point I’ve run into with TNS is that access to Docker or Kubernetes seems to be intentionally locked down from access anywhere but the built in apps catalog. As someone who works with Docker and various orchestration engines professionally, I much prefer being able to define and stand up my own services to using a list of predefined templates. There are obviously ways of getting around the restrictions in TNS, but with Unraid, I could install something like Portainer or simply drop into the terminal and run docker commands myself. Not having that is frustrating.

Overall though, I think TrueNAS is a much cleaner and more modern user experience, so long as you stay on their rails. Which I suppose is the point.

I looked at doing two vdevs but was put off by the lower usable storage. At a certain point, maybe that’s not as important as I think though.

Yeah, the choice for 6TB wasn’t my best. I got the two older drives a few years back on a Newegg flash sale, and it seemed like plenty, especially considering Unraid’s model of 1 parity drive and 100% usable storage on the data drive(s). Then, when I decided to upgrade, I was too cheap to go buy 4 whole new drives, so I just went with more of what I already had (to add insult to injury, they’re all WD Red drives…).

You might give kbin a shot. I haven’t used it much myself, but it has features from both Mastodon and Lemmy, so should interop well with both of those.

Just wait until climate change kills the vast majority of coffee crops. That’ll probably remind people that it’s a luxury.

+1 for Jellyfin. It’s FOSS, doesn’t pollute your media collection with terrible streaming offerings, and doesn’t paywall hardware acceleration. Much better option than Plex these days imo.

Lemmy actually has two different “trending” feeds. Active, which seems to show posts that are getting more comments, and Hot, which seems more focused on votes. You probably have Active selected by default. Turns out porn gets lots of upvotes but doesn’t generate a lot of conversation.
