I have a disk for local backups (that is the only purpose of that disk). I was wondering what would make it last longer:

  • Keep it mounted to my server permanently (current solution)
  • Keep it unmounted most of the time, mount it when I'm going to do a backup (either daily or every 3 days, I don't mind changing that) and unmounting after the backup is done.

What would be the best strategy?

Is there a better ways to import Flac albums from bandcamp to a navidrome or jellyfin instance? I'm downloading and rsync'ing like a caveman and I suspect someone already solved this issue

alvaro OP ,

@UntouchedWagons what does it do (I do t use BitTorrent) that makes you use it?

[question] Alt-text service, self hosted

Is there a service that I could plug into my misskey/firefish/whatev that provides an alt-text for an image I'm posting. I don't post images that often, so the few times, it would be nice to have an automatic OCR or LLM/Stable Diffusion description of a picture attached to it.

Of course, without depending on Google or similars.

Any ideas? cc @selfhost @selfhosted

alvaro OP ,

@Deebster maybe just OCR would be enough for a lot of cases

I want to try using along with and see how the experiment goes. Has anybody done the same? Cc @selfhost @selfhosted @selfhst

I was wondering if someone has done something similar:

I want to detect if one of the kitchen burners have been running for a long time. Gas sensors won't work because the fires are running.

I was thinking that a solution could be to have a wifi-enabled thermostat that sends the temperature to home assistant and if it is above > X for Y minutes, send an alarm/email/notification. The sensor could be hidden below the burners and connected via a cable to measure the temperature.

Does this make sense? Does anybody have some idea how to implement this (maybe using a ESP8266)?

Is there other alternative?

alvaro ,

@brownmustardminion do you mind sharing why nebula and not say WireGuard?

I would like to have a mechanism to set up a server automagically…

Similarly I would like to set up my user account settings (Tmux plugins, .zshrc and vim settings, etc) that I can replicate in multiple machines via a script (I have a custom script for this but I want a more solid alternative)

Thoughts on what infra-as-code solution would work best? Any similar experiences or use cases with one Thanks!
