It's also a remaster of a game that aged very well in my opinion and didn't really need a facelift.

So Beta 1.6.4 was when?

I could live with this. I like the gnome "workflow" but I hate how restrictive it is. Not to mention that it runs worse on my laptop compared to KDE. Thanks for the inspiration! I might just try something like this.

Aw man, every midrange phone that would be interesting comes with MediaTek SOCs. I should check if the custom rom scene is still dead for phones with MT chips... Do they still withold the sources needed for rom developement?

I know this is a late reply, but I didn't notice the notification. Sorry about that. What I do is, I open a free virtual card for each service. I have one for netflix, one for spotify and so on. I set the monthly spending limit just above of what they cost.

This way if I ever unsub, I can delete the card and they can't charge me, or if they have a data leak, they only stole my deleted cards.

Revolut was mentioned before, but let me elaborate on it.

They are essentially a bank but you can open an account through their app with the needed IDs.

You load money onto your account via a card payment from a conventional bank account, so no transfer fees apply in that sense.

They have one time use virtual cards and free persistent virtual cards. You can order physical ones if you want. You can set limits and recurring transactions per card. It even recognizes subscripition services and lets you know in advance if you need to top up the account before a payment is due.

Caveat: ads for their own services to buy crypto, gold, stocks and crap. I personally wouldn't keep huge sums on my account, but know people who use it extensively. Even after years of usage, they werent burnt yet.

I have no experience with customer service, as I only use it for what you are looking for. According to the internet, their CS can be abysmal.

Hey, I use LOS with Magisk as well.

There is a separate safetynet fix module for magisk you can install. No idea if the module is deprecated or not. Will have to check.

You can use the deny list in magisk to "hide" root access from your banking app.

There is also the option to hide the Magisk app itself. For some reason my banks app was checking for this specifically, and this solved my issues.

Edit: Safetynet fix: https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix

This is what I have. Not sure if the project is dead, last update was a year ago it seems.

Very interesting! It's tempting, but I can already see the "Major Change ticket" coming in for "Divorce" if I asked for tickets at home :D

Yes, well shopping lists worked similarly for us as well. Wife would send me a list on discord, and go by that. That might not need to change. I guess we'll have to see for ourselves how things go what sticks.

I'm afraid of falling into the trap of having too many new toys to play with, so I'll keep simplicity and tasks.org in mind! For taking notes for myself, I have Obsidian set up the way I like it. I must say, I under utilize that one as well. Joplin, I used in university some years ago. I should maybe revisit it to see if I find any use for it.

So far this is the sanest setup for my usecase. I was only looking at the AIO docker because I thought it would be easier to scale back, rather than up from the regular. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the tip! I wouldn't have stumbled upon it by myself. Looking through their demo, it's rather complex, maybe too much for what I need. The price seems fair tho. With the source being available I'll consider trying it.

 

Hello there!

I was wondering what people on here use for general household related peojects and general recurring task management.

I feel like it would be easier to get stuff done if my wife and I could have a place to store and real time add/update information on things. Notes on the fridge don't cut it anymore, as life gets complex.

I was looking into NextCloud AIO. I don't care much for the mail, file sync or call and chat features. But a shared calendar and the Deck app with tasks sound useful. Along with the cookbook app that exists.

I was also checking out independent-ish solutions like Vikunja and Kitchen owl. I was also looking for a MS whiteboard-like thing to use, and Excalidraw came up. It is possible to tie all these together with a dashboard, so it doesn't feel like it's all over the place I am sure. But the wife approval factor is also something I have to keep in mind. Also, mobile apps are hit and miss in my opinion.

If you have extendes experiences with the above tools or alternatives that you use, please share how you like it! I could use some perspective before I deploy stuff to "prd".

SSD only NAS/media server? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Hello!

I am getting the parts together for a tower server build. I plan on running Jellyfin, maybe dive into arrs and nextcloud for 2 users total, wireguard only for external access as it's not the main focus for now.

Situation: if I have access to refurb/used 4TB enterprise HDDs at the same price as 1.9ish TB enterprise SSDs.

I'd take lower capacity as it is not that big of a concern for me rn. I want to have somewhat redundant storage of my documents, photos, but otherwise it's not gonna be a giant media vault overflowing with movies.

Question: In terms of noise, shipping concerns and longevity, would you go with SSDs instead of HDDs? Is it lower maintenance?

I can of course buy spinners later if I find flash only to be restricting in any way, and add to the rig as needed.

Speed would not be an issue in any case. This is for TrueNAS scale, so zfs. I am planning to buy 3-4 disks now, and add more if needed in 6 months time or later.

I am eager to hear others opininons on this. Thanks!
