I have a disk for local backups (that is the only purpose of that disk). I was wondering what would make it last longer:
\- Keep it mounted to my server permanently (current solution) \- Keep it unmounted most of the time, mount it when I'm going to do a backup (either daily or every 3 days, I don't mind changing that) and unmounting after the backup is done.
What would be the best strategy?
@Quitmuch1938@lemmy.world By being funny and interesting, ugly and boring ā you are fucked.
Additionally, growing a beard might help you
@SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world ha! I have my caps lock as a ctrl key (easier for vim acrobatics)
@Nemo@midwest.social I take it back: I realized I use it to get : and "
@ptz@dubvee.org Interesting, I just realized I use my left pinky for the left shift while pressing the Z with my middle left finger :-P
Do you use your right shift key? Have you re-mapped it into another key/function? which one?
@Dr_Satan@lemm.ee create something, music, a book, whatever
@knock_knock_orange@lemmy.world that would be great because it would avoid paradoxes like you killing your grandpa
@UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca what does it do (I do t use BitTorrent) that makes you use it?
Is there a better ways to import Flac albums from bandcamp to a navidrome or jellyfin instance? I'm downloading and rsync'ing like a caveman and I suspect someone already solved this issue
@Deebster@programming.dev maybe just OCR would be enough for a lot of cases
[question] Alt-text service, self hosted
Is there a service that I could plug into my misskey/firefish/whatev that provides an alt-text for an image I'm posting. I don't post images that often, so the few times, it would be nice to have an automatic OCR or LLM/Stable Diffusion description of a picture attached to it.
Of course, without depending on Google or similars.
Any ideas? cc @selfhost@lemmy.ml @selfhosted@lemmy.world

@sonovebitch@lemmy.world Forgot to mention: some have 2 different types of light, a blue one and a warmer, yellow-ish one. Turn off the former, leave the other and turn the e-ink with a black background and white letter.
@sonovebitch@lemmy.world TBH an e-ink device with dark mode works well for me
@pinguinebee@lemmings.world I donāt know Denmark but in the us I got a used desktop with 8gb and it ran way more services than that. Iām sure you can find something like that over there
I want to try using #obsidian along with #silverbullet and see how the experiment goes. Has anybody done the same? Cc @selfhost@lemmy.ml @selfhosted@lemmy.world @selfhst@fosstodon.org
@DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com Thanks! Yes, I was looking into ESP8266 + DS18B20, thanks!
I was wondering if someone has done something similar:
I want to detect if one of the kitchen burners have been running for a long time. Gas sensors won't work because the fires are running.
I was thinking that a solution could be to have a wifi-enabled thermostat that sends the temperature to home assistant and if it is above \> X for Y minutes, send an alarm/email/notification. The sensor could be hidden below the burners and connected via a cable to measure the temperature.
Does this make sense? Does anybody have some idea how to implement this (maybe using a ESP8266)?
Is there other alternative?

Has anybody experienced with running calibre-web + kavita (or another combination of ebook oriented services) combined? I'm asking because none seem to be the definite winner (calibre is fugly, but you can upload books, kavita is nice but opinionated, etc). Any experience on that regard?
@ken_cleanairsystems@lemmy.sdf.org this is a great explanation, thank you!
I know nothing of mechanical keyboards, but I have always found cool the Corne ish Zen[1]. However, I don't work alone so I would like something as silent as possible. I have an old Macally keyboard[2] that I know is silent enough. Is it possible to find a keyboard like the Corne but silent as a regular BT keyboard? Would you recommend one, or it is not actually possible?

@brownmustardminion@lemmy.ml BTW it would be great if you can share your experience in the future!
@brownmustardminion@lemmy.ml do you mind sharing why nebula and not say WireGuard?
@SaintWacko@midwest.social yeah I had a paper white and I loved the ease of use, especially with Libby. What I donāt like is that you canāt actually buy (and own) books in Amazon, and if you want them Jinnyās in other formats it is a pain
Currently I have a Boox e-ink reader, but I learned that they don't last that much and their post-sale support is the worst. I see that this device will fail in the next 6-12 months, what e-ink readers (that it is NOT A KINDLE) would you recommend? I'm interested on reading both .epub and whatever is the current kindle app format, along with PDFs, being able to add notes is not super critical.
recommendations?
I would like to have a mechanism to set up a server automagicallyā¦
Similarly I would like to set up my user account settings (Tmux plugins, .zshrc and vim settings, etc) that I can replicate in multiple machines via a script (I have a custom script for this but I want a more solid alternative)
Thoughts on what infra-as-code solution would work best? Any similar experiences or use cases with one Thanks! Cc @selfhost@lemmy.ml @selfhosted@lemmy.world
Calibre and online sites can convert from PDF to Epub usually lose most of the format. I tried PDFElements, with similarly poor results.
Is there any service/app that actually works and converts a PDF to Epub in a way that resembles closely the original?
I live in a hilly place and when biking uphill. Using the smallest gear on the crank and the cassette, the chain skips over some cogs. I identified it is only on that combination (smallest gear on both).
I suspect I need to change the cassette, but is there any other alternative path I can take?
Maybe a naive question, but Is there a service like 23 and me but that doesnāt collect/keep my genetic information ? @nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
How do you debug issues with WireGuard? Things usually go great but every now and then my subsonic server stops streaming (or my client stops getting the music) so his never happens on local network but o my when using WireGuard. Are there tools for debugging it? Cc @selfhosted@lemmy.world @selfhost@lemmy.ml
I found that after I signout from the #jellyfin app in iOS I can't connect back to the server on the app but I can connect on the browser. I tried with 2 devices, allowed local network access, I copy&pasted the address to make sure it wasn't a typo, but nothing, no connection via the app.
I tried using the IP + port on both devices and the same result: app doesn't connect but the browser can.
I'm running out of options so I wonder if there is something wrong with current jellyfin build? What else can I be missing?

Why there are no (to my knowledge) electric bikes with 700c tires? All the ones Iāve seen use fat tires, what is the reason behind that? Cc @nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
