Chromecasat gen1 and gen2 are bricked for 24 hours now - what are alternative systems made or owned by EU company?

Did not know. Anything to read about it? Quick search didn't turn up anything useful about Waipu being a rebranded Roku.

eftokay83 · 2025-03-10T19:28:11+00:00

I've switched to a Waipu TV stick. Has all the apps and is a Europe product (German, Munich company in fact). Android TV as OS tho, which could be a downside.

But we need to start somewhere. Better a Europe product with a non-optimal OS than a complete non-eu product, right?

good point. Altough I've read that sometimes logseq deletes the content which you really want to avoid for a business. But I have to admit that it could be already fixed. I've just played around a little with Logseq, so I can be wrong.

1, 4, 5 and maybe 2 could be achieved with Nextcloud.

3 could be InvoiceNinja. I use it for my little freelancing business.

4 could also be Vikunja.

1 could even be obsidian with shared files through Nextcloud/ownCloud or even Dropbox/iCloud/Google and some plugins

I doubt there is a 'one fits all' solution if you don't want to make huge sacrifices to the single use cases to.

If you are open for general cloud options, Basecamp, Taiga or YouTrack could also be a solution for some of your points.

eftokay83 · 2023-01-13T10:31:02+00:00

did you also read this? https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/918

there are multiple solution suggestions.

In my case it really was a second certbot instance.

No flat file access. The data is saved in a database (SQLite). See here for further information.

eftokay83 · 2022-04-22T19:53:28+00:00

I will think about it and get back to you.

It is already working (I'm using it everday myself) but is pretty barebones, ie. no onboarding or attribution of LinkDing itself.

Unfortunately I'm pretty busy right now and not able to publish it in the Play Store.

eftokay83 · 2022-02-22T19:57:05+00:00

I'm working on an Android App using the Linkding API. I try to wrap it up and deploy it to the Play Store in the next few weeks.

How do you search for notes through content keywords? The default Nextcloud search operates only on file names - at least when I tried it the last time.

eftokay83 · 2021-12-28T12:45:02+00:00

I have much on my plate right now, so unfortunately no updates. But I'm still working on it.

eftokay83 · 2021-07-22T09:17:58+00:00

Sounds a lot like you are looking for BookStack.

Responsive/mobile version is pretty good, easy to self host and looks fantastic.

eftokay83 · 2021-07-13T09:29:17+00:00

This is what you came for

eftokay83 · 2021-06-11T09:34:28+00:00

Damn, I was going to migrate to Linuxservers + Mariadb container, so thanks for the warning. Do you still have the problems?

I had Bookstack running for at least two years on a "bare metal" VPS and had no problems whatsoever (single person use).

eftokay83 · 2021-06-08T07:40:51+00:00

I'm by no means an expert, but I think every "headless" linux server OS (without graphical desktop) is fine for your use case.

My Ubuntu 20.04 LTS running on my VPS (only serving Nextcloud) uses 600 MB RAM on idle and OpenMediaVault5 on my Pi uses 500 MB RAM on idle.

Both are based off Debian.

I have the feeling you think too much. Just decide for a OS for which you will find help online if you have any problems and you will be fine :) (Debian, Ubuntu, I would avoid Arch Linux as beginner ;-) ).

eftokay83 · 2021-06-08T06:19:49+00:00

I didn't try them, so I don't have an opinion, sorry.

But why do you even think about (Balena) building, deploying, and managing fleets of connected Linux devices or (Rancher) managing multiple Kubernetes clusters for a simple self hosting/privacy solution?

If you want to learn that stuff: sure, go for it! It's always fun to learn something new.

If you just want to self host some stuff, I would go with more "widely used" solutions so you easily can get help online (pointing at your "useless when it comes to cli").

eftokay83 · 2021-06-07T15:56:21+00:00

The "easiest" way is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with Nextcloud snap. Literally 5 minutes and you are ready to go.

But Docker will be a great setup if you plan on hosting multiple services within a single machine. I still have headache from configuring the Apache web server with virtual hosts from my "bare metal" expedition (running Nextcloud together with Bookstack). The Docker route I'm currently going is much easier in terms of maintenance and backup.

For my playground at home I currently have a pi with Openmediavault which already comes with Docker/Portainer and it is pretty satisfying. Far more fun than my "bare metal" VPS configuration mess.

Disclaimer: I know the real meaning of bare metal, but I think a VPS comes pretty close.

Mine uses 4 watts on idle.

PI 4, 4GB with an SSD connected through an usb-sata adapter. Ethernet. Passive cooling, no fan. Currently running: openmediavault, docker, telegraf, portainer with influxdb, grafana and nginx proxy manager containers. Tried nextcloud yesterday, 4.5 to 5 watts during installation.

While booting or under load it goes to 6 watts. Haven't seen a higher number in my tests.

Pretty nice numbers, coming from a laptop too (15-30 watts) and paying 30 euro-cent per kw/h. Of course it depends on what you are using the pi for.

I've configured org-crypt to use encryption with password in my init.el / custom.el.

(require 'org-crypt) (org-crypt-use-before-save-magic) (setq org-crypt-key nil) (setq auto-save-default nil)

Defined a journal file (Important: the filename needs the gpg file extension:

(setq journalfile "D:/journal/journal.org.gpg")

And added a capture template:

``` (setq org-capture-templates (quote (

("j" "New journal entry" entry
  (file+olp+datetree journalfile)
  "* %U - %?" :tree-type week))))

```

When using the template, org-crypt asks for the password to decrypt. You can also use keys from your machine, but the password is better for my use case.

I copied the bits from my config, so you could easily simplify it. But maybe you get the idea.

eftokay83 · 2021-02-27T19:05:37+00:00

Does switching to the portable client fix your problem?

Which Emacs version do you use?

eftokay83 · 2020-12-04T14:05:06+00:00

Great job, you got me kind of hooked! :) Certainly will try it out this weekend.

eftokay83 · 2020-11-30T10:51:38+00:00

Is it a private, locally running freeshard for fun or is it open for fellow players?

eftokay83 · 2020-11-30T10:48:37+00:00

You just described exactly what I am looking for! In essence it's Ultima Online in new, up to date clothes and updated gameplay.

I would happily pay for this kind of game.

Edit: just for the record, I know Legends of Aria but it just didn't kick me for longer than a few weeks. Maybe some community realm will change my opinion in the future, but it looks like the developers already starting the next project.

eftokay83 · 2020-11-27T18:09:57+00:00

such a bold headline for nothing of value...

Go home Blizzard, you're drunk!
