    What are some "toy programs" you've created?

    Jump

  • I built a Tasker program that blocks unknown numbers if toggled and allows back-to-back calls through. It uses a Minimalistic Text widget for control.

    I also built one for background images. Every time I turn my screen off, my background changes to a new (blurry, gray) picture of my wife. Double tapping will unblur and color it. I can toggle switching if I like a particular picture.

  • Over Synology, and looking to build my first home lab. Could use some advice on parts...

  • The gold standard for transcoding these days is a newer gen Intel CPU with integrated graphics.

    The integrated GPU on those intel chips can do Intel QuickSync / QSV which will handle a dozen streams at once without breaking a sweat.

  • What's a good HTPC OS and software?

  • So far the closest thing was Plasma Bigscreen, but it's still in development.

  • Functionally, it's the right thing I'm looking for, but it's not polished enough to fulfill my needs.

    If this allowed folders and a GUI for settings, I think it'd be a winner.

  • Yeah another user mentioned this - definitely my #1 choice if it were fully released.

  • Oh fuck yeah this looks like the one.

    Probably gonna do Fedora + KDE Bigscreen.

    EDIT: It's not released yet due to inactive development... bummer.

  • Wife would not approve of this because she loses her phone all the time. Also the kids don't have phones.

    I am looking for a solution that can be controlled by my remote

  • Do you use steam big picture mode?

    I'd prefer not integrating Steam too much, since this is a shared computer that my kids also use.

    I do like the UI of big picture mode, so if there were something similar that could be used by a remote or controller, that'd be top tier. Steam games could be added in via shortcuts

  • This MP3 nugget is humiliating modern tech.

    Jump

  • The only drawback is that it only holds 1GB... my old CD rips had to be compressed to hell and back.

    You may be able to crack it open and upgrade that storage. I have a similar little MP3 player with 16GB on an internal microSD card. It's possbile to swap out the internals.

  • That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing

    Jump

  • Correct, only the server owner needs the pass.

    This has caused a lot of controversy because it was a free feature since Plex started and they're now locking it behind a subscription.

  • It makes it harder for law enforcement or others to access the phone without knowing the pin

  • LunaSea is no longer being published and all related cloud services (including notifications) will be shut down in the near future

  • If you're on Android, there's nzb360. The dev is awesome.

  • I name my devices after greek gods based on what I'm going in life at the time or after what their purpose is.

    I named my first gaming PC "Poseidon" when I was doing ship related work. Now it's my server.

    My gaming PC is "Asclepius", the Greek god of healing. Built when I got into healthcare.

    Hermes, god of messeges, is my lil pi that helps with routing (pihole, pivpn, nginx).

    My HTPC is Dionysus, Greek god of wine and parties.

    My thinkpad is Persephone cus it looks good but doesn't do much. I might rename it.

    The services that I run on these are just named "device-service" e.g. hermes-nginx

  • The movie was really well done. It's a simpler animation style so don't expect Pixar level stuff, but the story and art direction are great.

  • How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS?

    Jump

  • For the services already hosted by the VPS, I just point service.web.site to the appropriate localhost:port.

    My hiccup is that the VPN software (pivpn) gives me an internal IP for the clients but pointing Nginx to that IP doesn't work.

  • Network config confuses the hell out of me.

  • which IP are you trying to obfuscate with a VPN?

    My goal was to hide my home IP by routing everything through the VPS. The VPN is hosted on the VPS.

    Why don't you just host your public services on the VPS, and whatever else private on your home equipment.

    The VPS is 1 core and 35 GB of storage. I host several websites and some game serves on my home server.
