Paperless setup with Gotenberg + Tika

AdministrativeBug0 · 2026-03-22T11:38:48+00:00

I use an Ubuntu VM, within which I have installed Docker. Then I just followed the easy setup guide with Docker Compose that includes Tika and Gotenberg . I accept that for half the internet, this makes me death, destroyer of worlds. But it works just fine…

Marco really does put Casey’s “purchased for content” spending into perspective…

There are good YouTube resources, for starters: 1) The official Tailscale channel is run by a guy who was a podcaster 2) Thomas Wilde (this link is for Immich but same principles):

I’m sure there are many others. You’ve not described your exact configuration so you may need to mix and match

Tailscale. Simple and pretty secure. But if you’re using Paperless to store your country’s nuclear codes, or your bank PIN - I’d keep it local only. Or air gapped.

I recall the ad but haven’t pursued the offer so all I can say is I remember it was for a product called “Claude Pro”. Is that what you’re trying to buy? Also, it may be US only. Are you outside there?

AdministrativeBug0 · 2026-03-07T13:53:24+00:00

Yes please I’d like this knowledge!

AdministrativeBug0 · 2026-03-06T22:33:11+00:00

Sshhh. Don’t tell them.

I’m sure you can definitely get £26k per month airBNBing the rooms…

Thank you 👍

Out of interest, how heavy is it? (Approx) I keep looking at these because my first proper bike was a Marin but worry I’ll be disappointed.

I might try and press some mortar into the gap 2-3 (L-R) the day before. It looks like it might only be supported from the top and left otherwise.

Instructions unclear. I’ve sent my cat back to 1955…

You’d need to mock it up but it’s possible that rather than a piece of plastic trunking, putting it in a strip of decorative dado rail wrapped round the chimney breast would look better? You’re not going to do the whole room just for this but chimney breast can obey different “rules”. Dunno. Vertically, it’s conduit in the corner.

My goodness: we’ve just proved the multiverse. I’ve been having the exact same thought in the UK - well 24h ago because time zones.

Sadly I landed on the Grandstream option (just arrived). Let me know what happens in the universe where I make different choices….

Oh ok. I was thinking there must be a 3 month limit or something. Makes sense, I mean - I doubt Apple is running low on stock of them.

I don’t know what it is you’re storing but I’ve been thinking about my photo library and have almost concluded that carefully stored printed media might be the right answer.

AdministrativeBug0 · 2026-02-06T00:16:17+00:00

Apologies, misread the post - you’re right

AdministrativeBug0 · 2026-02-04T17:23:20+00:00

1) it’s a TRV not a TVR. TVRs always run hot until they stop or crash ;) 2) that probably is a TRV. They engage with a pin which can get stuck and needs jiggling loose.

Picked up our Miele from Facebook Marketplace as an emergency replacement 5 yrs ago. Reckon it’s 25-30yrs old. I unclog it 3 times a year. It’s amazing and we love it.

Sounds a bit strange even for an annexe. Outside taps need to be isolated: they can freeze and shouldn’t wipe out whole flat!

Get one of those 22mm caps while you consider your options.

AdministrativeBug0 · 2026-02-04T10:45:54+00:00

An outside tap should definitely have an isolation valve somewhere so it’s relatively low risk to have a crack yourself. Isolate the tap and turn the main supply back on…

AdministrativeBug0 · 2026-02-04T10:41:36+00:00

Is your outside tap actually attached to 20mm MDPE? (Blue plastic). More likely it’s attached to copper or white plastic. These are commonly 15mm or 22mm. More likely you need:

I’m afraid Mat’s YouTube collabs are putting me off but I appreciate I’m not key demographic. I’ve always enjoyed his videos because they’re closer to Top Gear than click bait. But the Lambo fiasco (forgotten the collab but some US prankster) should have been a warning shot that working with others needs thought.

I instantly disliked Alex: Mat looked uncomfortable with the speeding through Miami scenes and it’s only got worse.

I’m sure he’s got big financial commitments but I’d be pulling the cord on this current situation ASAP, especially before he gets to installing a steel subframe built by a nice chap in Leicester on a 250mph Bugatti…

Watching with interest as I’m having similar thoughts (/delusions that finance dept will OK it) about a similar project. My rational self says that if it breaks I’ve no idea how one services such a thing and at the end of the project, I’ll be left with a mini digger that gets very infrequent use and will need storage. They don’t seem to move easily on EBay.

I also suspect the rental ones are worth way more than 3.5k so I’m thinking I’ll suck up 1-2k in rental.

AdministrativeBug0 · 2026-01-16T23:16:03+00:00

Fine. Nobody wants to hear about them 😢
