Sometimes hitting delete is the best thing you can do. Especially bookmarks, how many of them is out of date, or not relevant to you any more. And if you needed some of it, you can find it again. Sure, there is a few things a bit harder to find, but it should take less time than sort through 2k bookmarks. 😀

Actually, that is a thing I like. Going through this stuff can be tedious, but it brings a lots of memories, things that I forgot about, things I once wanted to do. And also, after cleaning my digital life I feel similar as after cleaning in the physical world - good - I did something, I made my world a tad bit more organized and a tad less overwhelming. (I should note that I am lazy and I always must force myself to clean, but I never regret doing that after I start 😀) P.S. as I wrote in one comment below, maybe bookmarks is not a necessarily a thing that you want to go through and sort. Here I am more writing about my notes, or photos, etc…

Yeah, totally agree. You know, I would perhaps be even ok keeping the drm, I have been thinking about it the other day. I would have to have a guarantee that I can use it even 50 years from now and it would have to be public, open-source solution, not owned but shaity companies like Adobe, Apple and Amazon (there is really no choice nowadays), who will use this to also track us. Plus, as you say, I want to have a right to pass it onto someone (but more like lend it to a friend, because I can’t imagine somebody caring about inheriting my 50 year old books, really. About the refunds, I think some online stores offer (limited time) refunds and if you buy e.g. physical book, especially in the physical store, you are also very limited when it comes to returns.

I see, you mean this, I thought there is something new. Thank you for sharing. What I didn’t like about Luise’s contribution to this drama is that he focused solely on LTT’s side and didn’t mention the other side. Because I think both sides made some mistakes.

Can you tell me more please? Or send a link please? I would like to know what happened, thanks.

Would you create an api to download an API call?

What they did to you?

I think if the ripping includes de-DRM-ing it’s is illegal in a lot of countries. I am not saying it’s right, we should own our own content, I am just saying it as a fact.

Thanks for sharing this, I am currently looking into these and so far found Dumb Assets and also partially Warracker which seems to be super active in adding features (but so far is focused mainly on warranties.

So there has to be some trust between you and the cloud provider then. Thank you

Question: if I setup Headscale on my network, I would have to open a port on my router to connect to it right? And also if I setup Headscale with some cloud provider, could they theoretically go and use the setup to get to my home network? I know its unlikely, I just mean if the technology is like e2e from clients to my home network, or if the cloud headscale ‘centre’ would be also an unguarded entry point (from the perspective of cloud admins). I hope I am clear 😀 Thanks (btw you probably guess why I currently use Tailscale 😀)

I think you might also make your tailscale on router an exit node. I remember when I was setting things up for me I had issue like yours, but on the phone. Everything was working when I used data, but when I connected to my local wifi it didn’t see the stuff on subnet ip’s. Setting it as exit node helped. Also make sure everything is approved in your tailscale admin.

I use storj. Its well integrated with true nas. And the encrypted files are fragmented, duplicated and scattered around the world. (many people host storj node no their true nas as well).

Same here, plus

• on the phone I trust F-droid that they have some basic checks
• I either avoid very small projects or I rifle through the code very fast to see if its calling/pinging something suspicious.

I have spoken

I have recently moved adguard and home assistant to raspberry pi, same reason, though the hass I have moved into docker container with host network in the end. I also installed tailscale directly to have easy setup as an exit node.

(Alternative below) Buy 5 - 7 years old computer with decent specs (i5 i7, 16 gigs ram, don’t care about hard drives but prefer ones with ssd) for about 60 - 100 bucks. Buy 250 gigz+ ssd (if it’s not included) and any desired number and sizes of nas grade drives (this is where you don’t want to save money if you want this full fledged nas). Don’t forget UPS! Install TrueNAS. Profit… Ok not profit but enjoy. For movies definitely jellyfin (keep your distance from plex really). Audiobookshelf for audiobooks but also ebooks! Amazing software that one.

Alt. Buy raspberry pi, two usb hard drives, install open media vault and same apps as above. Setup data duplication from one drive to the second one with rsync (directly in omv ui). Omv is not as polished as true nas but its cheap and it lets you dip your feet in homelabbing first, in two to three years you will gain experience and vision to do your dream homelab (or at last try 😀) if the pi is not enough.

You are welcome :) And enjoy! Its really fun 😊

I see, I was on that path not long ago, I finally realized I do not need Proxmox and it would create unnecessary complexity for me. In truenas you can install many services (apps), they use docker under the hood, or you can create your own docker app, its much easier to manage. At least for me. I have installed e. g. Jellyfin, audiobookshelf, adguard, home assistant, nginx proxy manager and eveything without a hitch. And by “installed” i mean I found the app in truenas store, hit install and in user friendly form I just assigned a couple of parameters (like storage location). It can even create a dataset for each app for you and you dont have to deal with acl and similar. (Although I chose to handle the datasets myself to have more control over it).
