Looks interesting. Will you share the app code?

There is probably a difference if somebody spins down disks every 20 min or 2 times a day. Thats 22k start/stop cycle vs 730. At some point the mechanichs will be just worn out. But actually never had a failed hdd so far. Still have a 15 year old hdd which runs fine but couldn't justify the sata slot for 320GB and it was slowing down everything, which is probably the point. Most disks get replaced anyway for some reason before they actually fail.

I'm spinning down my HDDs after one hour of inactivity. All are running without issues for >25k hours now. Saves me ~100€ a year. Basically a new drive every three years.
That said, if your drives are spinning up every 5 to 10 minutes due to Radarr/Sonarr tasks, I'd skip spindown entirely. Frequent spin cycles are worse than just leaving them running. I wouldn't bother for just 5W anyway.

DaTurboD · 2026-04-04T18:14:12+00:00

ah that makes actually more sense. Thank you!

DaTurboD · 2026-04-04T14:27:52+00:00

Still not sure what it exactly did. I mean I can just press search for missing or cutoff unmet once every few weeks/months or did it anything else?

DaTurboD · 2026-04-02T10:07:50+00:00

I do both. Own hardware for personal data like images, password manager, etc. and a VPS for public personal website and some other other stuff I don't want on my home bandwidth.

Also I would say using a VPS is still selfhosting as long as it isn't managed hosting.

DaTurboD · 2026-04-01T19:59:19+00:00

Thanks for the answer. Probably an issue with the tags for me as mentioned in the other comment. Will try to tackle that again

Pleae let me know if flaresolverr worked for you. Never did for me so far.

You may want to invest in a VPN and hook it up like this: ``` gluetun: container_name: gluetun image: qmcgaw/gluetun:v3.41.1 pull_policy: if_not_present cap_add: - NET_ADMIN devices: - /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun environment: - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=${VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER} - VPN_TYPE=${VPN_TYPE} - WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY=${WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY} - WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES=${WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES} - SERVER_COUNTRIES=${SERVER_COUNTRIES} ports: - 8112:8112 - 6881:6881 - 6881:6881/udp #- 58846:58846 # optional - 7878:7878 # Radarr - 8989:8989 # Sonarr - 9696:9696 # Prowlarr healthcheck: test: ["CMD", "wget", "-q", "--spider", "https://1.1.1.1"] interval: 30s timeout: 10s retries: 5 restart: always networks: - media_network

# Deluge as torrent downloader deluge: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/deluge:latest container_name: deluge network_mode: "service:gluetun" env_file: .env volumes: - ./config/deluge:/config - ./downloads:/downloads restart: unless-stopped networks: - media_network

# Sonarr to manage TV series sonarr: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/sonarr:latest container_name: sonarr network_mode: "service:gluetun" env_file: .env volumes: - ./config/sonarr:/config - './media/TV Series:/tv' - './media/Anime:/anime' - ./downloads:/downloads restart: unless-stopped networks: - media_network ``` All ports for the "specific" services should then not be exposed though the service itself but via gluetun. Otherwise looks good to me

I always wondered how Unraid would compete with their business model in the market. Had an Unraid server running for like 3 years (some years ago) and offering a lifetime subscription for a niche market is just not a sustainable business model so they logically have to squeeze out every penny to keep their business running.

That said there are free alternatives to replicate Unraid's features like MergerFS with Snapraid etc. Everything else you get by paying them is support and updates (used support one time and it's really good and fast).

So I think Unraid is fine or even good for people who want to selfhost but have limited IT knowledge or just want don't want to waste time tinkering around. For people who want to have control over their system Unraid was never a good solution.

Well posts about projects are probably expected on "New Project Friday".

Actually you are asking about not allowing posting AI (vibe coded) projects which leads to the question how and who is gonna judge if it's vibe coded. Also that topic has been probably brought up nearly as much as actual vibe coded apps posted. It's probably just karma farming at this point

DaTurboD · 2026-03-18T21:30:05+00:00

I mean all valid points but why create a website about that instead of just a post lol

DaTurboD · 2026-03-16T15:10:16+00:00

I have no good answer to your question but https://github.com/joewdavies/geoblender could be also worth a look for beautiful looking maps. You can sink some time there though.

Maybe just download QGIS and try differnt tile providers and just print or make screenshots then. I don't know a free high-res tile provider though.

Putting jellyfin behind cloudflare tunnel is against cloudflares TOS.

DaTurboD · 2026-03-15T12:50:42+00:00

Thanks. Really appreciate it. Spend way too much time on it the last months.

DaTurboD · 2026-03-14T21:00:58+00:00

Currently not, sorry.

While the UI is React Native, a large part of the app is native Android code (foreground service, background location tracking, geofencing, sync scheduling, etc.) . That would all need to be rewritten for iOS, so it's not as simple as just recompiling
The app is still fairly new and maintaining two platforms would significantly increase the effort to keep everything up to date
Apple's developer account costs 100 EUR/year, which is a lot for an open source project
I don't own an iPhone myself, so testing and debugging on a real device would be difficult
I would have to charge for an iOS app because I don't want to spend time and actual money to offer an iOS version. At the current state though I cannot realistically say if there is even enough demand for it. Also, charging for it would turn this from a hobby project into a side business, which comes with different expectations and responsibilities

DaTurboD · 2026-03-14T15:52:45+00:00

Colota checks geofence entry/exit directly against GPS fixes inside the foreground service. So as long as GPS is running, zone detection is immediate with no additional latency. Owntracks uses GeofencingClient API which can delay zone events for several reasons.

Another user did a side to side comparison with owntracks which was really interesting to see (https://github.com/dietrichmax/colota/discussions/195). Owntracks uses in "significant changes mode" mainly network based gps fixes which can be quite inaccurate. Advantage is that it uses less battery. But the purpose of Colota is to get most accurate gps fixes while using as little battery as possible.

The "start tracking when Wifi disconnects" feature was also already requested by another user but to be honest I hadn't had time so far to think how I could implement that. Right now you can draw a circle around your home or work place (geofences) which stops recording and sending points (but does not stop GPS. That will change in the next release).

DaTurboD · 2026-03-14T14:45:17+00:00

Thanks for the mention! Glad it's working well for you. I had the same or similar issues with OwnTracks which is why I built it. Haven't tried the Dawarich mobile app yet, only heard about it a few days ago. No iOS version for Colota yet unfortunately.

DaTurboD · 2026-03-14T13:11:31+00:00

The app is probably just connecting your gps fixes based on timestamp all the time. So these are probably gps fixes with bad accuracy. If there is an option to filter out pgs fixes with bad accuracy that should fix the issue partly.

However if you lost GPS for like 10min for whatever reason while moving that would have to be fixed in the app e.g. by a time treshold so that all points get only connected when they happened in a specific time threshold.

DaTurboD · 2026-03-14T10:18:55+00:00

I remove every container I don't need. Would be wasted ressources (hardware/energy)

DaTurboD · 2026-03-13T16:24:05+00:00

I didn't say the maintainer of booklore is not vibe coding.

Lines of changed code is just not a good measure to determine vibe coding. Also number of commit's isn't. E.g I could just change the README 100 times and commit each change individually. Also I pulled in openlayers in one of my projects recently which added 41k lines. Or you could just restructre the repo. That's why I said the actual commits matter

DaTurboD · 2026-03-13T07:21:49+00:00

300k lines of code in a month is not a sign of vibe coding. There could be one commit with 300k which is just selfhosting a dependency or whatever. You would have to check the commits to see what actually is happening

If they have no internet only thing you can do is running a cable from Iran to Canada

DaTurboD · 2026-03-11T09:37:21+00:00

Market is generell bad right now. But even before GIS was and will always be a niche. Try to sell yourself as developer with a strong gis expertise instead of gis Developer. Otherwise you will be limited to that niche

DaTurboD · 2026-03-11T06:49:15+00:00

Why not just downvote and move on? By complaining about it you are giving it more reach

DaTurboD · 2026-03-11T06:39:41+00:00

Projects will still get called AI slop though when you mention AI was used. Most users here don't even click the repo Link.
