  • How to not loose important documents?

    Jump

  • To help with the overwhelm, If you scanned these important documents then I'm presuming you still have the (paper?) originals?

    Treat them as your source of truth and work with them first - some might have superceeded your backups anyway.

    Then, as others have said, follow the 3-2-1 principle, but keep one of the backups as plain and simple files (.pdf I presume)

    If you lock the files in an app, you're making it even more difficult to restore them later.

    Personally, I put my files (ie. .pdf, .jpg, etc) in encrypted online file storage (Hetzner) and I made sure I keep instructions elsewhere on how to get them back again (in case I'm... not able to)

    Keep it simple

  • If you're not wanting to customise too much, the Frtizbox equipment is good.

    Plenty headroom for normal use.

    However if you have 6 people all streaming 4k netflix and need 1mSec ping for gaming over a 10Gb link, you'll probably need to build something.

  • Or the restores... 😉

  • What are your thoughts on cal.com changing to cal.diy?

    Jump

  • In theory, someone could fork that and vibe code the missing bits.

    For $15/month * X users, that could even pay for a dev to do it properly

    What is a round-robin teams meeting anyway? Is that a 1:1 with each member of the team?

  • Having a little trouble deciding on which path to go

  • I listen to a LOT of music - basically most of the day when I'm not on a call.

    I don't follow the mainstream so never had a spotify account, and am really listening either to radio-browser.info or a few channels on youtube that I sponsor, which link to the artists on bandcamp, where I buy the music I like.

    To your point on bandwidth, I try to store music at the highest quality I can get, but then transcode to players.

    I did try mp3fs to live transcode files to my phone in the past, but didn't use it much in the end.

    I've torrented some music in the past, but TBH, I find it in different places easier nowadays.

    I used to find some interesting stuff with Napalm FTP indexer - but be very careful with direct connections to random FTP servers.

  • Reitti v4.0.2: A New Map Experience and Update Progress

    Jump

  • Have you considered any integration with Home Assistant?

    I'm tracking my family for automations when they arrive / leave home, so the GPS apps can't send to 2 different webhooks at the same time.

    Either HA could get data from your database, or (preferably for latency of automations) HA passes it's data on to your database.

    Thoughts?

    Edit: ah... ok... found your notes on the main website, my bad not reading that first

  • Thanks for the background on the tiles.

    Yeah, from my PoV, I'd like to use the OSM data that's already on my phone (from other OSM based apps), but I understand your point.

    So, where's your VPS? In EU?

    FYI: Got the app installed, followed the instructions (which refers to a Home Assistant template that doesn't exist on the app?), modified the default custom template with tid set to an identifier and ... I appear to be at home 🙂

    Thank you

  • you can predownload map tiles from a tile server I selfhost or use your own tile server.

    Could OSM tiles be used? Ie direct the app to an OSM server and download their data?

    I've no idea how tiles work, so this may be an absurd question 🙂

    I'm currently using GPSLogger, but Home Assistant's integration for it can't handle >1 device... if I install your app on multiple devices, can Home Assistant distinguish between them? Ie does the data nclude a DeviceID of some kind?

    Edit: ok, I think I've found the answer in your Home Assistant documentation

  • How Do you keep your services updated?

    Jump

  • I don't use docker, etc, so for me, if it's in the normal Arch repos or AUR then I don't need to think about it until there's a .pacnew file to look at

    Then, it's just the odd git pull on literally 2 devices.

    All organised by ansible...

    (well except the .pacnew, but I think it's nice to keep in touch with the packages)

  • How Do you keep your services updated?

    Jump

  • Just a word of caution...

    I try to upgrade 1 (of a similar group) manually first to check it'a not foobarred after the update, then crack on with the rest. Testing a restore is 1 thing, but restoring the whole system...?

  • VPS in Europe, not AWS/Google/M$

    Jump

  • Yeah, ok, fair enough. That probably answers all the questions...

    Virgin will be throttling, AND having internal problems 🙂

    Be interesting if your VPS hop also gets throttled...

  • VPS in Europe, not AWS/Google/M$

    Jump

  • VPN throttling: are you sure your DNS traffic's going through the VPN tunnel and going to an external server, not your ISP's?

    If they can see where you're browsing, maybe that's triggered something.

    If it was only for a few hours though, maybe they just had an internal problem?

    Give them a call and ask them. And if they're doing something weird (throttling traffic), they should be able to tell you why... and consider leaving them if they're not providing the service you need.

  • calendars off the cloud - what do you use?

    Jump

  • True, but, I don't need docker or a VMM to run it in, or as many resources. Backups are easier, updates are predictable... and are adverts now a thing with the AIO?

    I come from the early days when every NC point release needed a lot of tweaks to even make it work... hence the AIO was born from that mess.

    I just found a simpler solution...

  • Do it.

    I found no-one used the NC interface for anything, so it was a lot of maintenance for no reason.

    I replaced NC with Radicale and syncthing

  • calendars off the cloud - what do you use?

    Jump

  • Radicale is also really easy to setup as a "normal" package... I have it running on a Pi.

    Such a small, simple system, it's great.

  • Coils & curves?

    From my viewpoint it looks like balance and counter balance 🙂

    Are those all balanced, pivoting around a power outlet?
