I use the tiller extension in Google sheets. With the community savings budget template to allow for 0 based or "envelope" budgeting. One of the few things in my life so far ahead of every other option I couldn't bring myself to ditch it and selfhost.

IP and port are what I put in my browser

I converted an old laptop into a home theater PC. My friend bought spare components for cheap and built a desktop for the same purpose. Not for everyone, but a great solution for some use cases. And can potentially fill other roles, like being your jellyfin host.

While shopping I suggest you find a spreadsheet with the capabilities of every device you're considering. A lot don't support certain formats, which can limit the kind of files and content you can stream. Last I checked shield and the Google TV stick thing were trouncing the competition.

Definitely need remote access, and tunneling in every time I want to sync my notes app is way too much work. I've containerized these services as a security layer and you need user creds to access anything without an exploit. I'm comfortable with that level of risk.

Dynamic DNS is a very cool thing I didn't know exists. I'll definitely look into it further! But for the time being I still need a fix for my problem.

Running joplin and memos in docker, routed through nginx. Since I don't own a domain I'm just using my public ip with ports and port forwarding. Joplin was throwing the same invalid origin error, but worked after I set APP_BASE_URL: http://<IP>:<port>. I tried setting SITE_URL=http://<IP>:<port2> under environment, which I've read is supposed to fix this exact problem. Same error. The error displays the correct address including port number, so I know that's being passed correctly. I've tried several different variations of the Host, Origin, and Referer header without success. Just for fun I tried directly exposing <port2> on the memos instance and it opened right up in the browser.

PS: Yes, I know I should be using https. I'm lazy. Setting up a cert is on the old todo list.

Who exactly is having trouble believing this?

100% this. I've gotten to where when people try and rope me into their new million dollar app idea I tell them that there are fantastic resources online to teach yourself to do everything they need. I offer to help them find those resources and even help when they get stuck. I've probably done this dozens of times by now. No bites yet. All those millions wasted...

I already have one, they both fill up so fast. I don't really have the money or space for another.

It's definitely higher quality, I'm just not sure about paying $25 a steak at my current income level. I was hoping to find the point of diminishing returns. Most every product category you can get 85% quality at 50% cost by finding that line.

How wholesale are we talking? I love me some steaks, but I only have so much freezer space.

 

There are lots of articles on the best value cuts to buy. What I want to know is, which store is bringing the best value for a given cut? I'm based out of the south, so I've got lots of great options. walmart, publix, sam's club, piggly wiggly, aldi. I know historically local butchers have been the place to get the deals. The butchers in my area seem quite expensive. I think they're bringing custom orders to the table more than best value on a standard cut. So, in your opinion, which stores offer the best price:quality? Is there a particular grade, label, certification, or anything like that to watch out for?

This has a lot of promise!

That's where I found my current top contenders. Nothing had exactly what I'm looking for, which is why I turned here. It probably just doesn't exist, but doesn't hurt to ask.

 

I picked day one up as a journaling app many years ago, and have enjoyed it. But I've now mostly left the apple ecosystem and I'm ready for a new solution. An important feature to me is the calendar view that both shows you what days you have entries for and allows you to see previous year's entries on a day. The lack of this feature knocks out the most recommended alternatives on this community (joplin, obsidian, and logseq come to mind). Journey cloud and diarium are strong picks, but I'd prefer non proprietary and stronger self hosting support. Along with better platform availability. Memoria is also in consideration, but the documentation is pretty light and it's hard to tell if it will function in the way I expect. Likewise with memos, which I've seen suggested on here.

Needs:

  • Usable on linux (I can live with a web app)
  • Calendar view showing days with entries
  • Encryption
  • Cloud sync functionality (no local only apps like rednotebook)

Nice to haves:

  • Proper app for linux, android, ios
  • Ability to import a day one backup, preserving my 5 or so years of journal history
  • FOSS
  • Selfhostable
  • Support for media (primarily photos)
  • Prompts for password on every launch
  • Equivalent to "on this day" feature allowing you to view previous entries on a day

displayport and HDMI, both fairly new and high end. Not specific to windows though, as it happens on multiple linux distros as well. I'm 95% certain it's a motherboard issue.

Bug report: search function is yielding no results

Federation question: Do we federate with lemmy.garudalinux.org? If not, could we? And is there a list somewhere of all actively federated instances so I don't have to bug y'all asking about it?

(bonus) Praise: things are zippy and zingy after the provider switch! Appreciate y'alls hard work keeping the instance going.

 

My PC has an X570 auros master, and it has always had a hard time sleeping. When I let it sleep on any operating system the top row of USB 2.0 ports goes out, and sometimes it hangs and can't wake at all. My preference would be to fix this issue, if possible. My current operating system is garuda (arch based), but I also have a KDE neon and win 11 machine installed if needed.

If it's an issue without a good solution, I need to know how to protect my monitors from burn in and other runtime related wear without sleeping the PC. I tried the settings that turns off the screens without suspending, but when I woke them only one made it back up and the mouse couldn't reach it, which makes me think the machine was frozen. I'm aware of and open to other solutions like a screensaver program or messing with DPMS. But I would prefer a more straightforward and integrated solution if possible.

 

I got a canon pixma tr4520 from a technologically challenged relative, who told me they couldn't get it to print and it was mine to try and fix. I worked out that it didn't have an ink cartridge in it (not even an empty), bought a replacement, and got it printing. But now it has vertical alignment issues and paper jams. I can't afford a new printer right now, and I would love to fix this one. My fear is that I'll sink half the cost of a new one into it between the ink I already bought and replacement parts, just for it to come out not working anyway. Is it worth my time to try and fix or should I cut my losses and start saving for a new unit?

 

Running android 14, oneUI v6.1.1. I go to filesystem expose > add storage location in the connect app, but I can't figure out a way to path to videos. Maybe that's considered a protected system folder and hidden or something? I notably can't manually type a path, so even having that may not help. I need a way to get there via the GUI.

2 liter storage? (self.homeorganization)
 

Looking for an inexpensive way to vertically stack 2 liters. I would be fine with the plastic things they use at stores, but can't find any to purchase for the life of me.

 

I'm sorting and renaming old video files, and one of the pieces of information I need is the date the video was filmed. By default dolphin shows the date the file was created/modified/accessed, but not shot. I have verified this information exists on the file with the MediaInfo app, which shows what I need under the encoded and tagged dates. Is there a way to have dolphin also show that information for video files? Bonus points if it can convert the default timezone of the stamps (UTC) to local.

And yes, I am aware that I could create a custom script for the context menu that would find me that info. I may do that if needed. But I wanted to see if doing it this way works first.

 

I'm a southern man born and raised, and I run on sweet tea. Lately I've been experimenting with lowering the amount of sugar (or splenda) I make it with. What I've found is that I like the reduced sweetness, but tea bags are so low quality and bitter that I need the sugar to cover it up. Cold brewing and adding a pinch of baking soda help a lot, but I still want more. I think a higher quality tea is going to get me the flavor I'm looking for. So, any suggestions on any part of the process are welcome! What teas to try, brewing methods, etc. Less caffeine is better, I have a lot of heart failure in my family history so I try to minimize caffeine intake.

Running joplin server in docker with an nginx reverse proxy. Android and windows clients sync fine. IOS doesn't, but I gather that this is due to IOS not allowing insecure connections (too lazy to set up SSL), not anything the app is doing. Just installed on my KDE Neon machine and set up the sync. For some reason it is only doing a partial sync. None of my notebooks are coming through, and only the few most recently touched files show under the default all notes notebook. I got the same results on the snap and flatpak versions. I do encrypt my notes, and the few that are syncing correctly are all decrypting properly. The delete local data and re-download option yielded the same results. I've confirmed that the notes and notebooks are still on the server correctly by syncing my working devices. I can create a new issue in github if needed, just wanted to see if this is a known bug first.

UPDATE: to ensure the integrity of my database information, I used the re-upload local data to sync target option from my up to date windows machine. This attempt threw http error 413: payload too large. Adding the following line to my nginx.conf file (in the server block) fixed the issue. I went with 20 megabytes, you may wish to adjust this if you put large attachments in your notes. I believe the default is 1 megabyte.
