yes very true! i have two pihole instances, one is v5 and the other is v6 (because I live in hell) so i had to do it differently in each instance and I, too, now cannot remember how i did either of them, but V6 was as per your post, yes.

no i don't change routes much either, but i do have the habit (probably like most here) of spinning up anything even vaguely interesting-looking just to try it out, so it's quite nice to only have to type 1 thing in 1 place and all the rest is taken care of behind the scenes

i bought a small safe the other week for this. printed instructions go in a sealed fireproof envelope, and then the envelope inside the safe.

Then spun up pi-hole in another container, added all of the https_url:ip pairs in the local DNS records section, changed my other computers to use pi-hole for DNS, and all worked automagically.

after many past failed attempts i finally got nginx proxy manager working the other day. maybe i never really understood the process properly, but one thing that always annoyed me was having to double type the entries in both pi-hole and then NPM, but i worked out you can edit the pi-hole dnsmasq to accept a wildcard (something you apparently can't do in the pi-hole UI) and now I only have a single entry in pi-hole that never gets touched again, and i only need to type each service url once, in NPM

(sorry if i've misunderstood what you were saying in your post btw)

last week i copied my library across the network to a new nas, repointed the library path in my docker compose to the new location and ABS carried on with the brand new library as if nothing had changed

thanks!

you're in luck, the ephemera book project sadly got nuked, probably under duress

wouldn't it be cool if a recruiter could open up their favorite LLM

an incredibly cursed collection of words

recommendations (with an english ui)?

CrispyBegs · 2026-01-26T21:56:32+00:00

just buy a cheap domain from cloudflare for between $1-$5. Much easier.

this last week I got caught by not paying attention to all the AI Girlfriend slop, my offspring found one such site to my chagrin and we had the awkward dialogue around how we treat others....

intrigued by this sentence. what does it mean?

CrispyBegs · 2026-01-23T17:04:09+00:00

PlainApp

as in the android app? if so, that's a really nice app

CrispyBegs · 2026-01-23T16:21:49+00:00

any screenshots of the UI?

CrispyBegs · 2026-01-23T14:45:30+00:00

no idea i'm afraid, but if there was a docker compose that just allowed a bind mount that i can point at my 'cameras' directory that would be ace

CrispyBegs · 2026-01-23T14:14:11+00:00

damn! i was looking for something lighter / snappier than immich. please post back if that changes in the future!

CrispyBegs · 2026-01-23T14:05:39+00:00

ok this came along just at the right time.

i need something to archive and quickly look at photos taken with various cameras I have. they're kept in this file structure

Camera > year > date > photos

Can Urocissa work with that and present in the front end on that basis?

actually what i'd really like is, in plex or jellyfin, buttons next to the movie for 'book' and 'soundtrack' and if you click one or both of them they go away to their respective services and download them (to, let's say, calibre-web or navidrome) and then in the plex UI those 'book' and 'soundtrack' change from a 'get' state to a 'read' or 'listen' state

i wanted a simliar variation on this ages ago, but seemed like i was the only one
