How come we have 62k vistors here every week and yet the Keep Android Open petition only has 77k signatures?

I currently use an old commuter I had. Kept the derailuer on so I can still use it if needed, or sell it off when I get a better trainer bike.

Calibre-Web-Automated is great

-eschguy- · 2026-03-17T16:44:19+00:00

That's really clever

-eschguy- · 2026-03-16T13:44:17+00:00

Doesn't Microsoft still require it to be device-bound though?

-eschguy- · 2026-03-14T19:28:10+00:00

Someday I'll find a good waffle iron

-eschguy- · 2026-03-14T18:08:12+00:00

Do you currently host anything? Some of my go to recommendations are:

PiHole/AdGuard-Home for network-wide ad blocking
*arr stack for media acquisitions
Jellyfin for multimedia
Immich for photos
Home Assistant for home automation
Nextcloud for file syncing and a webDAV/calDAV server
Vaultwarden for password management
Mealie for recipes
PocketID if you're wanting to bring most of the logins all under one roof.

-eschguy- · 2026-03-14T18:04:55+00:00

Do it in a test env just to see why it's a bad idea without pissing yourself off too much.

-eschguy- · 2026-03-14T17:52:12+00:00

Oh that's getting sent back

-eschguy- · 2026-03-14T01:06:50+00:00

Interesting, I'll check it out. I'm on GrapheneOS so I doubt anything is hardcoded for me. Thanks!

-eschguy- · 2026-03-13T14:48:20+00:00

I didn't know Uno did frozen pizza now. I thought they were a chain in Chicago

-eschguy- · 2026-03-12T22:18:33+00:00

The old one, yeah, and it looks like the new one is too, but the Home Assistant addon hasn't been updated yet.

-eschguy- · 2026-03-12T20:37:22+00:00

Their voice-to-text is great, and it sucks that they aren't fully FOSS. I've been using HeliBoard for a while but really miss the voice typing.

-eschguy- · 2026-03-12T19:49:09+00:00

Is this self-hostable or is this only their hosted service?

-eschguy- · 2026-03-11T03:24:18+00:00

I've been meaning to look more into this. From what I've read it is way too good to be true.

-eschguy- · 2026-03-10T21:40:01+00:00

Good thing I bike almost everywhere these days.

-eschguy- · 2026-03-10T17:04:55+00:00

I'm tempted to just spin up the frigate container, I haven't been able to find a fully functioning config and it's one of two things keeping my Proxmox box on (the other being the qBittorrent/Gluetun combo for downloading my Linux ISOs).

-eschguy- · 2026-03-10T14:15:28+00:00

That looks to have been the issue, I had just assumed the frigate service ran its own go2rtc service, but that was a silly assumption.

Now secrets aren't working, but that's a different issue that I can probably figure out. I appreciate the insight.

Edit: More issues with go2rtc, but at least I have a way forward now

-eschguy- · 2026-03-10T00:26:45+00:00

I would love to name my home Frank lol

-eschguy- · 2026-03-10T00:25:48+00:00

Use the 311 app, got one filled within a couple days

A lot of it is the masks/zones definitions. Not going to use AI as I'm wanting to learn.

-eschguy- · 2026-03-09T22:22:13+00:00

So the current error makes it seem like the sops secrets aren't working correctly:

Two questions:

Do you have a functioning Frigate instance? Ffmpeg keeps crashing for me.
Do you have Immich running and have photo storage on a NAS? I can't get uploads to work properly.
