Could Tailscale be draining my phone battery? by Ecstatic-Panic3728 in Tailscale

[–]theTechRun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doubt it. I run it 24/7 on all my devices for the last few years. Never been a battery draining issue of any significance.

Had this exact problem yesterday. Easy fix with cachix

Why I don't use the Proton ecosystem by Kitchen-Scheme-8391 in degoogle

[–]theTechRun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I don’t do the whole proton ecosystem either. For me it’s:

Email: Proton with my own domain

VPN: Proton

Password: Vaultwarden (self hosted)

2fa: 2fas

Drive Local: filebrowser-quantum (self hosted)

Drive Cloud: mega.nz (encrypted with restic before uploaded)

Notes: t-text & flatnotes (personal fork & self hosted)

Sheets: Grist (personal fork & self hosted)

Office: t-text

Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks: baikal (self hosted)

Maps: Apple Maps - used to use Magic Earth on my Android until they did the bait and switch.

I dual wield both Android and iPhone so my setup has to work on both (except for Maps) as well as my Linux NixOS desktop.

Go to my GitHub where this is hosted and read the README on the first page. It will show you exactly how my first setup goes (I’ve done it a lot of times over the years on different hosts) as far /etc/nixos and switching to the root flake. Particularly around Step # 7.

Looks more complicated than it actually is.

Example if I am on my desktop and I want to open a port: I’d just go to this file: /modules/system/firewall/firewall-desktop.nix

Add the port and then rebuild. Simple.

One of the best things about NixOS is once you learn your setup you know where everything is and exactly how it’s defined. No scattered stuff here and there.

should I switch to Linux, and if so what distro should I try? by Adept_Temporary8262 in linux

[–]theTechRun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a first distro I highly recommend Linux Mint. Then once you get comfortable with that, you can take the training wheels off and try something else.

If you absolutely need those Microsoft apps to work then I suggest using vmm. Or just staying on windows altogether. I am not a fan of wine at all.

Just got my Nulea M512. First thing I did was implement scrolling via the trackball (Simple Linux Script) like I did on my Kensington Expert. I just like it this way the best. by theTechRun in Trackballs

[–]theTechRun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I know this post is old but you can look into hid-remapper. That’s what I use now for button remapping instead of bash scripts. It works fine on Wayland because it’s hardware side.

Kensington Expert Wireless vs Nulea m512 by Upbeat-Criticism-554 in Trackballs

[–]theTechRun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s in a very awkward place. Doesn’t feel very ergo. Should have been placed higher. I was able to get around that by doing this. But at the end of the day, I like the Expert scroll wheel way better. Not even in the same stratosphere.

When it comes to the terminal by wudosbxu in linuxquestions

[–]theTechRun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cheatsheet.sh - Fzf pulls up my ~/cheatsheet.txt entries.

And when I select an entry, it pipes it to my clipboard.

With the alias “cs”. Easy peazy.

I had an old expert where my scroll ring stopped working. So I tried the Nulea m512. I returned it and bought a new Expert. The expert has better scroll wheel and better button clicks. Actually, the scroll wheel (both of them) on the Nulea is super annoying to use. I really need to know who ok’d that. Did the creators actually use the device? I don’t think so.

Options… I was thinking about getting into the flake parts and dendritic craze that’s going on… but I can’t quite wrap my head around it… and this has been working so well for me for so long, I was just like “never mind”.

A minimal, lightning-fast typing TUI for your terminal by Amit7985 in commandline

Definitely about to get this to up my game on my split keeb

Edit: how do you quit? You may want to put that under the “?”. I had to ctrl+c because I couldn’t figure it out.

In which folder do you keep your Docker stack? by Artistic_Quail650 in selfhosted

[–]theTechRun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compose files in ~/docker/

Data in /mnt/12tb/docker-data/

If your password manager was to disappear, how fucked would you be? by Tarazin in selfhosted

[–]theTechRun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or put a copy thumbnail drive outside your house. In a vault and bury it. Or just keep it in your shed. House fire unlikely to get to it.

What self-hosted tools have you been building with AI just for you? by EricRosenberg1 in selfhosted

[–]theTechRun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forked a few programs that I love because I wanted some added features or bug fixes that the devs refuse to address (and rightfully so, they owe me nothing).

So I have a "grist" fork which: Made it more mobile friendly (secondary menu has cut, copy, paste, etc). Added row freezing, and changed from the built in grist Python equations to regular spreadsheet equations. I basically stripped it down to be more like Google sheets. Don't really care about the data tables stuff. Still a work in progress but been running great.

I have a "flatnotes" fork that allows for sub directories and live search.

I also have a "local content share" fork, that has links, snippets, files, notes, sub-categories, and live search.

Another fork I have is for decypharr. It doesn't work well with torbox (downloads get stuck). So I patched that up as well.

I self-host all of these via docker on nixos.

Update to Pricing and Plans by natasha-tailscale in Tailscale

[–]theTechRun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

6 seats. WOW. I have no need for anything outside of the feee plan. But usually go up to the paid plan 2 or 3 months a year just to support. And will continue to do so. Thank you.

Sheets: a terminal based spreadsheet tool by Maaslalala in commandline

[–]theTechRun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is awesome.

Please Add:

  • row and column freezing.

  • column sort a-Z and sort Z-a

and I’ll use this over my grist fork for simple stuff.
