[help] I can't remove some BTRFS subvolumes + bonus questions
  • Thanks for the answer! I mounted it and removed all the timeshift-btrfs stuff. now, after a reboot, sudo btrfs subvolume list -t / does not show timeshift stuffs anymore, but if I mount again sudo mount -o subvolid=5 /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt and ls /mnt/ I get:

    @  @cache  @home  @log  timeshift-btrfs
    

    how can I remove timeshift-btrfs from there? can i just rm -rf it?

    In openSUSE

    (sorry I forgot to mention, I'm running EndeavourOS)

  • [help] I can't remove some BTRFS subvolumes + bonus questions

    Hello! My disk space was out of space left, so I decided to remove some snapper snapshot. snapper list listed over 360 snapshots. I removed them, and freed 50Gb of space. One of these hasn't been deleted successfully: Cannot delete snapshot 166 since it is the next to be mounted snapshot. it's description is writable copy of #156. How can I remove it? should I do it using btrfs subvolume delete?

    here's the output of sudo btrfs subvolume list -t /: ID gen top level path -- --- --------- ---- 256 178487 5 timeshift-btrfs/snapshots/2023-09-18_18-25-33/@ 257 341688 5 @home 258 341680 5 @cache 259 341688 5 @log 260 26 256 timeshift-btrfs/snapshots/2023-09-18_18-25-33/@/var/lib/portables 261 27 256 timeshift-btrfs/snapshots/2023-09-18_18-25-33/@/var/lib/machines 708 341688 5 @ 710 341680 708 .snapshots 2781 178991 5 timeshift-btrfs/snapshots/2024-05-07_12-20-43/@ 2968 326034 710 .snapshots/166/snapshot 2969 341679 710 .snapshots/167/snapshot

    all those timeshift subvolumes are there because before snapper, I used to use timeshift. I tried to remove them: sudo btrfs subvolume delete timeshift-btrfs/snapshots/2023-09-18_18-25-33/@/var/lib/machines ERROR: Could not statfs: No such file or directory

    If I understand correctly, it means that I should give an actual "system" path instead of the path in the table, but I don't understand which path

    thanks in advance to everyone!

    [FIXED] Is it possible to tell Jellyfin to search also the original title?

    Hello! I have a problem: sometimes I instinctively refer to a movie by the English name (for example, Star Wars), but if I search for it in jellyfin it is not found, as the italian translated name is "Guerre Stellari". I'd like to be able to search for it with both the original name and the translated name. The original name is present in the metadata, it just isn't used as a search parameter. Is there a way?

    ------- EDIT: I understood the problem: i'm stupid

    Star wars episode IV had both the translated and the original title, and was correctly find when searching "star wars", but episode V and VI didn't have the string "star wars" in the original title! and this is why jellyfin didn't find them. I edited the metadata and added it, now it works perfectly. Thanks to everyone!

    [help] What is the best way to screenshare a single window with audio?

    Hello guys! sometimes I watch movies with friends over jitsi meet, and in order to share just a single window with just its own audio I use chromium, that has the "share tab" option. However, I'd like a more general solution (I cannot play mkv files on browser, for example). I'd like a compact way that creates a virtual device sharing the window (even if the window gets minimized or hidden behind other windows!) and its audio, without the audio of all other windows (I don't want my notification sounds to be shared too). a quick online search gave me only "complex" answers, that I'll try only if a more convenient way is not available.

    [I'm running EndeavourOS KDE Wayland]

    Thank to everyone in advance!

    Nextcloud or Syncthing - which one do you suggest?

    Hello fellow selfhosters! I have a laptop and a tablet (both running endeavourOS), and I want a certain folder to be always in sync. I also have a very potato server. My two options currently are Nextcloud and Syncthing. The laptop and the tablet are rarely online at the same time, so I need the server as middleman (so, no syncthing laptop <-> tablet, but laptop <-> server <-> tablet).

    Which one do you recommend? The power consumption (of the client) is also very important, because both the laptop and the tablet are battery-powered

    I'm also open to other options as well!

    thanks in advance to everyone!

    --------- Edit: thanks to everyone for your precious help! I finally set up syncthing and it's working flawlessly!

    Kate word characters
  • I have no idea if there's a "normal" way to do it, but in case you don't find anything better and if you're willing to spend a bit of time tinkering, an option could be writing a kate plugin. I did it only once, so my knowledge is extremely poor, but it should be possible to connect to the "text selected" signal, and everytime some text is selected, you read the text document and search if there's a comma or a period etc and in case select the whole number

  • Is it possible to do calculations with GNU Octave using measuring units?
  • I downloaded it and tried to run it, but it gets stuck in a loop and I don't know how it could be fixed:

    error: max_recursion_depth exceeded
    error: called from
        baseUnitSystem
        <unknown>
    

    it seems the problem is in the line

    coreUnits = buildCoreUnits(u.baseUnitSystem);
    

    in the file u.m, I think because u.baseUnitSystem tries to "call itself". I don't know what this should be supposed to do, and have no idea on how to possibly fix it :(

  • Is it possible to do calculations with GNU Octave using measuring units?

    Hello! In qalc I can do calculations using measuring units like this: ``` > 5 W * 3 s

    (5 watts) × (3 seconds) = 15 J ```

    I'd like to be able to do something similar also in GNU Octave. I think the symbolic library could be a place to look at, but I found nothing "already done". Do any of you know of a way to achieve this functionality?

    I'm looking for a way to create webpages without HTML, any tips?

    Hello! I'll try to explain what I'm looking for: I sometimes have to write simple web pages (not just text, also buttons and video players and so on), but I really really hate writing html code. What I'm used to is QML, which I like a lot, because of the ease of placing objects exactly where I need using the anchors and the Layout objects. What I'm looking for is a language or something with a similar syntax, that can then be "built" to plain HTML/CSS/JS. Is there something like this? I know I can compile Qt/QML for webassembly, but I'm having huge amounts of problems, and also I'd like to have the possibility to have a plain HTML result, not necessary bind to the server side.

    thanks in advance!!

    Anyone selfhosting RSSHub?

    Hello! I'd like to follow some niche meme pages on instagram with my RSS reader app (feeder), and found out about RSSHub that seems exactly what I need. However, I tried using some of the public instances and except for the first time after requesting an RSS feed, it got rate limited and completely blocked. Does self hosting it solve the problem? Is any of you using it reliably?

    LibreY vs SearXNG, which one do you suggest and why?

    Hello! Today I learned about the existence of LibreY, and the project seems very interesting. I was wondering, how does it compare with SearXNG? which one is easier to self host, and which one is lighter on resource usage? Which one gets rate-limited less? I'm particolary interested in opinions of people who used both

    Thanks in advance!

    I'm looking for a TOS-breaking telegram client that strips out all the premium shit

    Hello fellow pirates! I'm tired of having all the telegram premium ads and antifeatures in the client and I'm looking for a client that removed them even if it's against the TOS. Any tips? I'd rather use an actual open source fork than a cracked version of the original

    I'm looking for both Android and Desktop (Linux)

    What I want is to remove the hateful ads in the channels and the "buy premium to unlock these emojis", and also to be able to arrange the folders in whatever order I like, without being forced to keep the "All messages" as first

    thanks in advance!

    Opinions on Presearch - distributed search engine?

    Hello! I just came across Presearch, and it looks very interesting to me. If I understand correctly, at the moment it's just another metasearch engine, but they say they're planning to add their own index. How would a distributed search engine index work? Opinions on this?

    Can I stream live TV on VLC?

    Hello! I know this is probably not piracy, but I think that this community is the best one to ask this. I'd like to stream live TV on my jellyfin server, and in the future perhaps try to implement a way to silence the audio during ads, but I want to start a step at a time: Before going in jellyfin, let's try with VLC that is easier. The live stream I'm trying to stream is taken from raiplay, the official website of RAI, the main italian tv station. I ignorantly just downloaded all the 4 .m3u8 files with this extension and, one at a time, I tried to open them with VLC, but all I obtained was VLC loading forever. What's going on? did I missed something important?

    [if you know of better ways to do this, any recommendation is welcome!]

    thanks in advance!

    Does anyone have a .eu.org subdomain?

    Hello everybody! I just learned that I can get a free .eu.org domain, but I'm not sure I understand the domain creation process. Any of you has one?

    I'm unsure what should I write in the "name server" section:

    !1000008693

    Yet another request for a note taking app

    Hello! I'm still not satisfied with my note taking app. I tried dozen of them, read tons of lists on random blogs on the internet, without any success. I'll try to ask you then.

    I'm looking for a note taking app with just this 3 features:

    • richtext/WYSIWYG (i don't want to write plain text and then press a button to see it rendered)
    • it has to support CHECKBOXES! Most of the apps I tried does not support them, or supported them only if all the note was a checklist. I don't want a checklist, I want a note where I can put some checkbox inside!
    • FOSS and active

    The one I'm currently using is obsidian, but it's not FOSS and it feels very overcomplicated for a simple note apps.

    Any suggestion is welcome!

    EDIT: forgot to mention, I'm talking about Android XD

    [Fixed] Jellyfin video stutters on some files (all MKV it seems)

    Hello fellow selfhosters! I reformatted my USB hard drive from exFAT to XFS because I needed a filesystem that could handle hardlinks. I remounted the hard drive and now jellyfin webUI has a severe stuttering problem on some videos, all of them are MKV but it may be a coincidence. On android (using exoplayer) the same files works smoothly. what could be the problem? in the logs I get a bunch of Slow HTTP Response from http://fedoraserver:8096/ to 192.168.1.30 in 0:00:07.4635856 with Status Code 200

    OT: while looking at the logs this happened

    SOLUTION: I enabled hardware acceleration, and manually selected also the HEVC and Allow encoding in HEVC format settings, and now the stutter disappeared! thanks to everyone for your help!!!

    my old hostname is still active????

    I have no idea what's going on. my server once run fedora, and its hostname was fedoraserver. I recently installed AlmaLinux, and now its hostname is tserver. today I was looking at the logs of jellyfin and... Slow HTTP Response from http://fedoraserver:8096 ... ... ... \* realization * ... WTF!!!!! It's like I saw a ghost. do any of you know what's going on?

    even more strange: $ host fedoraserver fedoraserver.station has address 192.168.1.4 fedoraserver.station has address 192.168.1.13 fedoraserver.station has address 192.168.1.41 fedoraserver.station has address 192.168.1.10 $ host tserver tserver.station has address 192.168.1.13 $ host 192.168.1.13 13.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer fedoraserver.station. I'm... I'm scared

    how to set up sonarr/radarr and qbittorrent to avoid duplicate files

    Hello! I set up jellyfin+sonarr+radarr+prowlarr+qbittorrent in my home server, and it all works well. the only problem is that I'm storing my files on a usb HDD with exFAT filesystem, and it does not support (AFAIK) hardlinks. due to this, sonarr/radarr are copying the files from the download folder (on the internal SSD with xfs) to the USB HDD.

    1. do I understand correctly what's going on? XD
    2. what is your setup or what do you suggest to do to avoid this? Ideally, I would like to download the files on the internal SSD and then move the files to the external HDD, and then hardlink it into the download folder to keep seeding it. If this is not possible, it would also be a good solution to download directly inside the USB drive, and then hardlink it into the jellyfin library.

    any tip is greatly welcome! thank in advance fellow pirates!

    xfsdump questions

    Hello! I just installed my first system using XFS filesystem, and the xfsdump utility seems interesting. I was following this guide about it, but it does not mention anything about the /media mount point: if I have a USB drive full of files mounted in /media/HDD1 and run

    bash xfsdump -f /data/wholesystem.xfsdump / will the files on the USB be backupped as well? and what about the /home directory?

    [solved] Nginx proxy server - strange behavior

    Hello fellow selfhosters! I changed my server OS from fedora server to alma linux as I wanted a more stable base with less frequent updates for my docker containers, so I backed everything up and installed almalinux. It all went smoothly, and now all the containers seem to work as before except for nginx proxy manager: on fedora, I set all the proxy hosts like this (using jellyfin for instance): jellyfin.mydomain.duckdns.org > http://myserverhostname:8096 now, for some strange reasons, it does not work anymore, and I get a bad gateway error. I tried with and without SSL (that I had from the previous installation, do I need to regenerate them? but without it should work anyway...), pointing to localhost:8096, to myserverhostname:8096, to jellyfin:8096, but nothing. The only way I could make it work was with the resolved IP address of my server: ```bash

    host myserverhostname

    myserverhostname.station has address 192.168.1.13 ``` pointing nginx to 192.168.1.13:8096 correctly shows the website. why does this happens? am I doing something wrong?

    EDIT: the only one that's working with localhost is nginx itself (http://localhost:81)

    ======

    SOLUTION: instead of myserverhostname, in nginx proxy host configuration (in the gui) I had to set myserverhostname.station to get it working. I don't know why, in the previous installation only the hostname was enough...
