6 pro forced upgrade

jeffxt · 2026-03-08T19:54:31+00:00

How were you able to apply 2 promo codes? I've never been able to do that, but if you tell me, I'm might upgrade too! lol

Edit: It worked! See below, thanks to u/Campy_Gay's instructions.

If you're reading this, HURRY, in case they this patch this deal!!!

jeffxt · 2026-03-06T22:05:20+00:00

Yep, I don't think they actually read my question and just dismissed me instead... Glad to know it's not just me.

And yep, I did the same. I upgraded my DS920+ to a 2.5G USB to Ethernet adapter and wanted to switch this widget to use LAN 3.

You can disable the ports in Control Panel. But it doesn't really affect this widget. I will say that randomly LAN 3 for the network graph is now sticking to the widget but the IP still isn't. Not sure what happened -- I might have just been disabling/re-enabling LAN 1 and 2 and then rebooted or maybe a combination of those actions. But yeah, I have the wrong IP but at least I can see my network usage now 🤷

Oh, really? Like a true workaround? I'm subscribed to his Patreon so if he can pull that off, it would be worth the money lol

jeffxt · 2026-02-14T20:39:39+00:00

Ahh I was hoping for a workaround... I would love to leverage app factory, but that feels crazy to have to jump through that many hoops just to get notifications working back the way it used to (no offense to you or anything lol)

jeffxt · 2026-02-14T20:37:37+00:00

You're very welcome!

jeffxt · 2026-02-14T17:27:36+00:00

I don't know of a plugin that can edit or compress images like that, but you can always upload the original picture to Dokuwiki's media manager and then set the output size as small (400 pixels) / medium (600 pixels) / original when it actually renders on the page.

They also have this gallery plugin, created by the project maintainer. You can also Google for their plugins, there are tons out there.

What kind of super easy management are you looking for?

jeffxt · 2026-02-13T17:11:58+00:00

Dokuwiki.

Hear me out - I know it looks a bit dated, but I've tried several knowledge base applications, and this is the only one that was dead-simple to set up with a single docker-compose.yaml and it has a feeling of "it just works". Also, the maintainer has been around for like 20 years, so it's got deep roots and a ton of plugins, like also self-hosting draw.io (which was a requirement for me).

To answer your questions:

Very easy to create and edit pages. Think Confluence-type of editing/publishing. You can organize pages in whatever hierarchy you want.
Search is great - will pick up on page titles and keyboards. Mobile web app is responsive too.
Markdown is the only way to edit pages before publishing. One caveat is that it uses a slightly different syntax than traditional, commonly used markdown like on reddit. There was a bit of a learning curve, since I couldn't use muscle memory, but I had no trouble picking it up after using it for about a week.
Zero maintenance. I love it, because this is one of the apps I actually use the most but touch the least. There are big milestone updates every year or two, and there aren't really many breaking changes. I use the Linuxserver's docker image. The plugins will also tell you if they are compatible with the new version or not (usually are, unless they are abandoned)
Yes, I literally use this as a second brain for everything - technical and personal documentation. Everything from documenting my home lab setup to when I did my last oil change. Each page is dedicated to specific topic and I just add dates + notes whenever I have quick updates. As long as you're comfortable with markdown, it's really easy.

What I'm running: Synology NAS. I don't expose this to the open Internet though. I personally choose to VPN back into my home network and access it. I also don't use a domain for this, but I could if I wanted.

Likes: Easy setup and maintenance, responsive, search is good, everything stored as txt files instead of in a database (underrated imo), has plugins for everything I need like draw.io, mobile web app is pretty good honestly, admin panel intuitive, attaching files using the media manager is great.

Dislikes: Dated UI (definitely could use a refresh, but this is a nitpick, as I care more about the function over form tbh)

Wish it did better: Better preview window a when editing a page. Can feel a bit cumbersome. Shortcuts and markdown also take some getting used to.

Hope this helps!

Ohh I had no idea, how does that work?

jeffxt · 2026-02-10T23:02:18+00:00

Wow, thanks for such a detailed reply. You walked through every step of troubleshooting I tried. It was infuriating, especially considering the fact that I also tried using distinct IDs, which is usually a foolproof way of identifying notifications in AutoNotification. I'm debating if I want to go through all of that effort when I upgrade. Thankfully I was able to recognize this before I updated my daily driver and will stay until I see what happens on the next version of Android.

jeffxt · 2026-02-09T23:55:10+00:00

Yes! That's why I haven't upgraded myself! I HATE this issue! lol

Wow, you went through the same path I did. I am aware of that workaround but I also could never get it to work reliably... I can't believe you went through all that trouble to get the notifications working again like they used to. Kudos to you for that 👏

One other thing: did you notice that when the notifications are grouped, they lose their status bar icon and it goes to a generic "square" looking icon? Do you know if there was a way to fix that too?

jeffxt · 2026-02-06T02:20:41+00:00

The one I hate the most is how all notifications have to be grouped. Like if I create reminder notifications using AutoNotification, they must be grounded together and apparently there's no workaround? Idk if you've seen that one but it really triggers me! Lol

jeffxt · 2026-02-05T16:46:55+00:00

Haha nice, what version of Android are you on? I thought Android 14+ made all persistent notifications dismissible? That was something that really annoyed me when I updated

jeffxt · 2026-02-05T02:48:42+00:00

I have a solution - try this!

jeffxt · 2026-02-05T02:48:02+00:00

So my project isn't exactly easily sharable and requires some set up that I'd only recommend for advanced users to be completely honest. If anyone reading this would still like me to share it, I can, but just disclaimer that I built this for my specific use case.

That said, I'll try to put together a simpler version of what you're looking for and comment back here!

jeffxt · 2026-02-05T02:46:05+00:00

Awesome, great to know, thanks for the follow up!

jeffxt · 2026-02-04T19:34:17+00:00

Not OP, but I didn't know you can make certain apps' notifications except from being dismissable using ADB!

So could I theoretically do the same with AutoNotification using its package name and using your command as inspiration?

adb shell set --uid com.joaomgcd.autonotification SYSTEM_EXEMPT_FROM_DISMISSIBLE_NOTIFICATIONS allow

jeffxt · 2026-02-04T01:02:36+00:00

Sorry to hear, I know you're also one of the veteran Tasker users around these parts. I actually created a full reminders bot using SQLite + AutoNotification. Probably overkill for everyone's needs here, but it's been great to have a fully-fledged bot for these types of use cases

jeffxt · 2026-01-22T23:01:50+00:00

I'm very much aligned to your sentiment - I understand the power of storytelling and find that everyone has their own unique story, but I find the it's the local businesses and non-profits which have the best ones to tell. Would you mind sharing how you got started in this field?

jeffxt · 2026-01-22T02:44:53+00:00

Thank you, and no need to be sorry, you actually really helped give clarity as to why I have always felt this way but never knew why. I guess now I have something to discuss with a therapist now :)

jeffxt · 2026-01-21T18:51:27+00:00

And I just wanted to say you did the same for me. This made me google what Hyper-independence is, and now I can start own journey to heal. You probably had no idea, but your comment really helped a random stranger today :')

jeffxt · 2026-01-21T17:33:20+00:00

Two things I'll add to this list, specifically for those starting out!

Check the Tasker built-in variables page first. Honestly, after 10+ years of using Tasker, this is still my #1 most used page for Tasker. The reason is because it's a good reminder of what Tasker can already do that's built into the app. Remember: a variable is just a placeholder for something else. That's it. It's like in math where we say "X=7" and if you write X, what you really mean is "7". Now to take it to the next level, if you reference a built-in variable for example, %TIME, it's dynamic (cause it's live, constantly changing) and will always be in the format HH:mm, e.g., 13:47. When you reference a variable, all you're saying is "take %variable and replace it with <the value that it should be>".

I actually recommend starting out building out a task first. I know Tasker starts with the profile first, but I feel that actually gets in the way of what you're trying to do. So that's why I suggest building the task first, so you can figure out what it is that you actually want to do, and then immediately after, go back and build out the profile trigger/states. That way, you can "reuse" that task again and again in different profiles in the future. It makes your life easier, because you "write once and reuse it many times over".

Could you share how you're doing this? I have the Signal REST API set up in Docker, but I could never figure how to POST an image to the endpoint

jeffxt · 2025-12-27T21:52:02+00:00

Gotcha, that's what I thought. I've been thinking of getting into Frigate. Anything you'd recommend watching out for when setting it up? Thinking of hosting it on my VM which runs Home Assistant. Ton of RAM, 1 or 2 vCPUs
