  • I've been using KeePass for almost 20 years now, used to host the database on Google Drive. I started using Syncthing about a year or so ago, including Syncthing-Fork on my Android devices. It's nearly flawless - I sync the database across 6 devices (two phones, two laptops, gaming PC, NAS [which is backed up regularly]), so there is the occasional conflict maybe once every few months, but I think that's more user error than anything else. It's fairly easy to resolve since Syncthing clearly labels the affected file.

    It's very important to remember that "Syncthing-Fork" IS NOT the official Syncthing project. Syncthing-Fork uses Syncthing under the hood while providing a mobile-friendly wrapper.

    Edit - Re: Syncthing Fork "drama":

    Catfriend1 (the original maintainer of Syncthing-fork) recently put in their 2 cents.

    TL;DR - The new dev is fine.

    For me personally, the fact that 1) devs from both F-Droid and Syncthing itself have reviewed and confirmed that the code is safe, and 2) the original maintainer vouched for the new guy, is good enough for me. There will always be those who refuse to trust anything, even from the original developer, and they are often the most vocal about it - i.e. the "vocal minority". Whether or not you want to listen to their criticisms is up to you. IMO, they're just beating a dead horse.

  • What’s the currently best way to manage TOTP tokens?

    Jump

  • Aegis Authenticator hits every one of your points. I know because I have the same requirements for a TOTP application.

    I also use KeePass for all of my passwords. KeePass can do TOTP, but I prefer that to remain separate.

  • Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices?

    Jump

  • Hmmm.

    Under LMDE7, the HP Spectre does great with the games I've thrown at it so far (BeamNG.Drive, Hollow Knight, Factorio, Universe Simulator, Minecraft, etc), but despite exceeding the minimum specs, it really struggled with running anything in RPCS3. Stuttering, frame drops, graphics simply not loading, etc... I ended up writing off RPCS3 in general as "too heavy for a laptop" and tasked my desktop gaming PC as the dedicated PS3 emulator - works great.

    Sounds like I might have to give Bazzite a shot again on the HP. I use that laptop for a lot of things, including diagnostics software for my cars, but I also have a perfectly-capable AMD Thinkpad T14 G1 hanging around that needs a purpose, too.

    It was Space Engineers 2. Even made a post about the journey.

    What was the actual issue you ran into though? I didn't see it in your post. I believe you, but my curiosity is piqued.

  • Things I've learned about Frigate

    Jump

  • It's a bit buried in the documentation, but

    Frigate summed up perfectly in a single statement.

    Wonderful application, awfully convoluted documentation.

  • Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices?

    Jump

  • I've yet to run into major issues with gaming. But I'm curious what issue you ran into that caused the switch to Bazzite? I actually tried Bazzite briefly on my latest laptop acquisition (HP Spectre x360) before going with LMDE 7; I didn't like the immutable aspect. I'm a tinkerer at heart and can't handle not being able to get under the hood, so to speak.

  • Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices?

    Jump

  • Yep. Debian. I like apt, and I like shit that just....works. I'm very much a form after function kind of person. Plus, Debian was the first Linux distro I became most familiar with at a young age. So what if a bunch of packages are on "old" versions. They work. The kernel works. KDE Plasma works. I can do everything I want to do without having to constantly be on the bleeding edge. If you prefer newer things, that's great. I prefer older, more proven things. That's also why I drive Toyota cars and old Honda motorcycles.

    My Proxmox cluster runs...uh...Proxmox, which is based on Debian. NAS runs OMV which also runs on top of Debian. Laptops all run Linux Mint Debian Edition 7, and my 5800X3D/7900XTX gaming PC runs LMDE6 (will be upgrading to 7 soon). The only non-Debian machines in my house are my wife's iMac and Macbook Pro, and the Home Assistant mini PC.

  • Proton Mail Helped FBI Unmask Anonymous ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester

    Jump

  • What a whopper of a title.

    Proton didn't help the FBI. The FBI unmasked the dude themselves with the info they had, a small amount of which was handed over by the Swiss feds that they obtained from Proton per Swiss law.

    Y'all need to remember that any company operating in any particular country is beholden to that country's laws.

  • US could ask tourists for five-year social media history before entry

  • Yeah, you could've just stopped at "I don't have social media" instead of burning processing power at a data center somewhere for a pointless ramble.

  • And then there's my $20 Wyze Vacuum, rooted and running Valetudo, that can map my entire floor with a lidar sensor entirely on-device.

  • You probably can't trust your password manager if it's compromised

    Jump

  • Especially when KeePass and its many forks already exist.

  • You probably can't trust your password manager if it's compromised

    Jump

  • I use KeePass, and Syncthing handles multi-device synchronization. The database is also regularly backed up locally and to a few cloud services.

  • Whatever happened to vBulletin? That was peak forum software. Simple to use, no frills, and no bloated tracking shit.

    All the car community forums are operated by Fora at this point, and they're trying to push some bullshit AI assistant called "ForaFrank". I blocked it on every car forum I'm a part of, and have encouraged others to do the same.

  • Unifi Protect - Wife Approval Factor? +HA integration

    Jump

  • I just remembered that I have a Wyze Doorbell v1 flashed with Thingino sitting on my desk. It was going to be my next test before my wife vetoed Frigate (she gets final say if it replaces something she uses).

    Pretty sure Thingino supports ONVIF. My FIL has a UDR with Unifi Protect, I can try it with that.

  • Unifi Protect - Wife Approval Factor? +HA integration

    Jump

  • If Reolink doesn't paywall basic feature, I might consider that. Mainly concerned about a functional "it works without fucking around" 2-way audio and doorbell.

    Jump

  • have you considered the G4 wifi doorbell?

    Yes I have. Cheapest one on eBay right now is over $350. MSRP when new is $200, and Unifi has apparently discontinued them.

  • I'm not going to be storing 24/7 footage outside of important motion detection instances, which we can just download to our phones or whatever if it's important enough to hold onto. Everything else can be recorded over.

    When I was testing Frigate, I ran a single camera storing 24/7 footage specifically to see how long it would go for. I think it used 100GB after a week or so. Multiply that by 6, that's, well, 600GB. But I'm also not super concerned with having crystal clear footage at all times (Ring set my expectations really low), and even 1366x768 @ 20-30 FPS is more than plenty for what we need.

    For the doorbell, I’d use a proper doorbell cam that can use the existing wires for power.

    That's how my current Ring doorbell is connected.

    Reolink’s wifi one comes with an adapter to use it with existing wiring.

    I keep seeing Reolink pop up. Would a Reolink doorbell work with a Unifi NVR? I'd rather have a G4 wireless, but that's very likely to not happen.
