Oh god, imagining this line being delivered in the most dry way possible really cracked me up

Either try a power nap or eat/drink whatever your body seems to miss today.

Sometimes, I reckon I'll just need to get some light sports or general activity outside going.

But most of the times? Nothing works and I kinda just accept that's it's a slow day. So do what must be done today, try to do something comfy/fun for the remainder and get at least something enjoyable out of this day.

rolling coal for cyclists: attach a pot of crude oil dripping onto your chain and splatter that shit everywhere.

Fantastic idea!

Everything with the handle down (only sharp things the other way around to reduce the risk of cutting yourself) is the recommended way by most manufacturers.

Love that reply. Father of a friend paves every green spot in his property with stone floorings step by step for years now and sprays ant poison everywhere. He's really really pissed about them ants minding their own business (like... just normal ants, not even fire ants or smth).

My response is always a "the fucking audacity of those ants. Building their colony just right there in the ground outside! Don't they know this is your property?!"

... My comments on this topic are generally not very well received.

And I consistently stick my hand and fingers into unexplored, and frequently inappropriate, areas.

... Like... In general, or regarding the paper wasps?

Wow, that's a crazy and impressive setup! Pretty amazing what's possible with something so low power that it could run off of battery and possibly solar alone...

Having such a setup for travel and emergencies is a cool idea, I'll have to put it onto my "possibly some day" list :)

Gotta take a look at it and spin one container up. Looks promising, too!

As I'm not completely invested in paperless, I'll definitely try it out, thanks!

Haven't seen support for exports/backups at first glance, that is imo a must have.

Ja, weniger Worker, dann dauert das OCR eben Mal länger. Da das eher selten ich muss das Dokument sofort im Paperless anschauen, kann das meinetwegen auch seine Minuten brauchen.

Bin bisher auch noch nicht 100% auf den Workflow eingeschossen:

  • MakeACopy macht ganz gutes OCR auf dem Handy, die Scans sind aber oft etwas wackelig.
  • FairScan macht sehr gute PDFs, aber kein OCR
  • Ich habe einen Scanner, der natürlich bei 600DPI nahezu perfekte Kopien macht, die ich auf dem PC per Shell in Sekunden durch OcrMyPDF jagen kann für extrem gute Ergebnisse. Aber>5 Seiten per Hand auf dem Scannerbett... das ist dann schon nervig

Yeah, I've read about using a Wyse 5070 for this a lot by now. Maybe I'll explicitly search for them instead. All I've seen around me are 4gb models, however. The Stack I'm currently running blocks 3.7gb in idle... So that's not enough

Did you just turn off all transcoding or pre-transcoded to 720p mp4 (or similar)?

Or did you just rely on the native apps for direct play?

Paperless, I guess OCR is very taxing, but I mainly had RAM problems regarding this on my Pi 3, with only one doc at a time, it went slow but steady.

Immich maxed out my i5 (all cores on 100) for some minutes when running the ML on my imported test library of ca. 3k Files. So yeah, when choosing the Pi4, I'd go with ente for sure!

A Pi as a travel server sounds like an awesome idea!

What are the use cases for taking it with you instead of just connecting to your homelab?

Edit: Your username made me thirsty, too bad I have to wait some hundred years to get one on earth...

 

Does anyone run one of the above on a Pi 4 and can share their experience how good or bad they run?

If course, transcoding won't be any good and OCR probably cannot run in parallel, but aside from that - is it okay?

Currently running everything on a mini ITX with a i5-6600 which handles this easily for my small use cases, but also draws 20-30W idling most of the day... I'm eyeing a Pi 4b with 8gb RAM but don't want to spend the money and then realizing that it doesn't run smooth enough

 

Which route did you go for your homeland, a tunnel to your services or setting up tail scale/wireguard and access them on your trailer?

 

Naturally, it’s Ankylosaurus. Just look at this armoured tactical turtle and tell me you do not love this silly little guy!

Just wanting to eat his plants. Wanna gnaw on him? Tough luck, it hurts and you cannot crack that shell. Also, he will fucking break your kneecaps with his built-in hammer while you’re bothering him.

Spirit animal.

 

People running stock or OEM-Android: what do you think about privacy and your personal data in the hands of Google? For Apple, you just kinda have to trust them on not selling/using/… your private data (not discussing how much that trust is worth…). For Google, it is just clear that they are - it’s their business model after all.

Sure - Graphene, Calyx, Lineage etc. exist, but either are limited to specific models, have drawbacks in functionality or are more hassle to setup than most average users are willing to invest.

So, if you are aware of this but still opt to running default Google Android: do you just „ignore“ this? Do you try do „degoogle“ as much as possible? I’m curious to see different opinions on this.

 

How do you backup important things you store in selfhosted clouds?

I’m currently thinking about hosting Ente myself for syncing all my pictures. Maybe also spinning up nextcloud for various other shared files. However, for me one main benefit of using services like iCloud is the mitigated risk of losing everything in case the hardware fails (and fire, theft, water-damages, …).

Do you keep regular updates on hosted services? Do you keep really important stuff on other providers? Do you have other failsafes?

 

I want to move away from Google and was ready to make the shift to proton exactly the day before all that drama started about the CEO being a trump bootlicker and stuff…

Then I looked into some alternatives and haven’t moved yet. So I really can’t decide which one from tuta, Mailbox, kSuite or maybe still proton provides the best service. And recommendations or experiences y’all want to share to help me decide? :)

Either a good UI (web/iOS) or very good compatibility with third party apps, good spamfilters and maybe an integrated calendar would be important features.

 

And no, the microwave is not a valid option.

 

Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.

Blue hours (sh.itjust.works)
 

My 2yo has one night with kind of a blue hour every other week, where he wakes up in the night and is just completely awake for 1-2,5 hours. Wanting to read books, maybe snack a bit.

They’re more common for him when there’s something up (milestones like learning a lot new words, when he learned to walk, teething, …)

Do any of you experience them? How do you handle this? We manage okay with keeping the light low, reading books that he can choose, but otherwise enforced staying in the bed.
