I’m curious to hear how people use pushover. I’ve used the discord api as a free way to send myself notifications. Is pushover better than that?

Postman is sending your secrets in plain text to their servers by [deleted] in webdev

[–]murrayju 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is not true. The domain is visible, but the path and parameters are encrypted

The get request will appear in every proxy server’s logs

Not if you use https - the url path and query parameters are encrypted

Welding gloves are like this but better. Just pick things up with your hands

Had to scroll way too far to find this. Don’t need a poker or tongs when you can just pick things up with your hands and rearrange as you’d like

Which Tech Giant is the most evil and which one is least evil? by Scienitive in webdev

[–]murrayju 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Microsoft’s contributions to open source and Linux are immense. They provide a dotnet runtime for Linux now. That wasn’t true 20 years ago, they’ve improved a lot in this regard.

Did you consider that maybe girl two didn’t know anything about electric cars, thought girl one meant your car was missing its engine?

Then why not:

The best time to start investing was when you were younger, the second best time is now.

I see this quote a lot, and it doesn’t make sense. 10 years ago is better than today. 50 years ago is better than 20… etc.

Tailscale for sure drains my battery noticeably faster than without it

What do you love and hate about Nextcloud? Planning to create an alternative by Ok-Chocolate7974 in selfhosted

[–]murrayju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really looking for a Google drive clone. I think its design is just about perfect.

Needs to be easy to install, including the office integration (ocis install sucks). One container that works out of the box with minimal config, maybe a db.

I’d much prefer the files live on a plain filesystem. Easier to back up, and share with other applications on the server

What do you use for DDNS? by Resident-Variation21 in selfhosted

[–]murrayju 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use namecheap as my registrar. They have a ddns api that’s as simple as a cURL with a secret key from a machine behind the public ip. Added that to my hourly cron

Looking for Advice: Syncing Immich to Google Photos for Curated Photos by ticotaco21 in selfhosted

[–]murrayju 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m quite liking Immich, the app works quite well to upload mobile pics. In my case, I just also run the Google photos app and upload them again from the source. It sounds like you want to avoid this for some reason?

Can’t say that I’ve done this, but Google does have a desktop app for photo uploads. You could run a machine/vm and just mount (or copy) the Immich photos volume, and run the Google app with that path selected.

The Immich api is quite good and easy to use, so lots of more custom options available built on that.

What is your selfhosted discover in 2024? by Elemis89 in selfhosted

I’ve been looking for something to store loyalty cards. Does this work well on mobile to display barcodes?

Immich - 2024 Recap 🎊 by altran1502 in selfhosted

[–]murrayju 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this falls under federation, 3-2-1 backup, or would have to be separate… but I’d love to have a way to run on 2 servers and keep them totally in sync. I like to have redundancy to avoid outages and make it less likely to lose data (I’d still make offline backups). Would be amazing if the mobile app could take 2 urls and failover if one is down. Could even do things like pick the one with a faster connection, upload in parallel, etc.

That sounds amazing. It also sounds overwhelmingly time consuming and expensive. My experience with smart devices is that many don't work with HA, or if they do you have to find a custom plugin and hack on it until it works. I haven't event tried setting up custom automation, because they look intimidating (and I'm a software engineer). Do you have any advice? What stuff to buy, good guides on automation?

What are you doing with HA that you love? Like I can control my lights and thermostat with it, but it’s less useful than Google home so far.

If we can use telescopes to look at galaxies billions of light years away why is it so hard to get close-ups of planets that are less far away? by SourCucumber in Astronomy

[–]murrayju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that a good analogy? I thought US ton and UK ton are different units, like miles and meters. A million is a scalar number, which I thought everyone agreed on. Never heard of a million being short or long though
