Both middle school and high school in Denmark are required to use computers for Danish, English, German etc exams. It’s used for essays and other tests. It’s been like this since the early 2000.

Isn’t gramps a desktop app? It would make more sense to use Webtrees when using a VPS, which can be accessed over the web with login.

Yes. I’ve tried all the available clients.

I have two main issues:

1. The appletv app isn’t as smooth and fast as plex. It is hard to convince my wife to switch when the user experience is not as good.

2. No profile fast switch. Unlike any other streaming service (Plex included) jellyfin doesn’t offer a list of profiles on startup to select who’s watching. This is a huge issue for me, as my wife, son and I uses the same devices with our own profiles.

Personally I think nextcloud is bloated with too many extra things. I’ve been using Seafile for 5+ years and it’s been great.

If everyone you text with are on iPhone anyway, there’s no logical reason to switch iMessage off and use SMS.

Never personally had any issues with iMessage (not sure which parts you think “suck” and are “unstable”).

80% of my contacts use iMessage, the rest use Signal.

Auto play on the TV setting or in the Disney+ settings? Never heard of any streaming apps respecting the TV settings. Generally I’ve had to make all changes in the corresponding apps and if they don’t have an option for it, it wasn’t possible. Disney+ has generally had kids profile not autoplay the next episode but adult profiles it does.

Maybe Volumio can work? It’s some time since I last tried it.

This is a copy of an older comment of mine:

Everything is tagged and organized using Picard. I use a modified version of https://community.metabrainz.org/t/repository-for-neat-file-name-string-patterns-and-tagger-script-snippets/2786/156.

I’ve been meaning to write a guide for how it works. My current WIP script can be found here: https://gitea.baerentsen.space/FrederikBaerentsen/DataHoarder_scripts/src/branch/master/Picard.txt

My files is setup like:

~/Music/A/Artist/(YYYY) Title [Type - Format] [MusicBrainz ID]/[side] Title [length][Bandwidth].ext

eg:

/Music/Q/Queen/(1973) Queen [12 Inch Vinyl - FLAC] [1783da6a-9315-3602-a488-1738eb733a0f]
    /A1. Keep Yourself Alive [3m48s][320+ 48000KHz VBR 2ch].flac
    /B1. Liar [6m26s][320+ 48000KHz VBR 2ch].flac
/Music/B/Bruce Springsteen/(2019) Western Stars [CD - FLAC] [a50ffce7-0532-41a7-b85b-7d02f8c7af00]
    /01. Hitch Hikin' [3m38s][320+ 96000KHz VBR 2ch].flac 
    /02. The Wayfarer [4m18s][320+ 96000KHz VBR 2ch].flac

if the album isn’t a studio album, theres an extra folder. eg:

/Music/B/Bruce Springsteen/Compilation/(1996) The Lost Masters I_ Alone in Colts Neck (The Complete Nebraska Session) [CD - FLAC] [8531e427-495a-443a-8fc3-0dd2ef459c93]
    /01. Nebraska [4m27s][320+ 44100KHz VBR 2ch].flac
/Music/P/Phil Collins/Singles/(1981) In the Air Tonight [7 Inch Vinyl - FLAC] [e805dd53-9257-4c78-8bff-a95f0cdd767e]
    /A. In the Air Tonight [5m29s][320+ 96000KHz VBR 2ch].flac

I have special categories for:

Compilations
Cover
Tribute
Singles
Live
EP

If an album contains multiple disks, there’s an extra folder. Eg:

/Music/M/Michael Jackson/Compilation/(2004) The Ultimate Collection [CD - FLAC] [2d37b204-ed26-3795-9710-1514f0fd931a]
    /Disc 1
        /01. I Want You Back [3m00s][320+ 44100KHz VBR 2ch].flac

For soundtracks it’s: ~/Music/Soundtrack/T/(YYYY) Title [Type - Format] [MusicBrainz ID]/[side] Title [length][Bandwidth].ext

eg.

/Music/Soundtrack/L/(2001) The Lord of the Rings_ The Fellowship of the Ring - The Complete Recordings [Digital Media - FLAC] [cad73ae7-5966-4de1-bad4-4a603891fd27]
    /Disk 1/01. Prologue_ One Ring To Rule Them All [7m15s][320+ 48000KHz VBR 2ch].flac

Been using this for 3+ years and it’s solid.

I’ll try and make a better write up at some point and share my script.

This setup also works flawlessly with Plex + Prism. I run Picard in a docker container and access it over web, so it can run on my headless Debian server.

I remember going to the Apple Store and picking up Snow Leopard on a DVD. Good times.

I really wish they would have stuck 32/64GB storage or something like that on it, so the OS could boot without external reliance. Give the Pi0 8GB and it would be perfect.

I boot my Pi4 and Pi3 from SSD and it’s great but it’s clunky with the SSD and adapter.

I’m seriously considering a N100/N305 mini pc instead of my Pi.

I’ve had the exact same spectrum setup in Orlando and I just gave up connecting to local services. Had a VPS for my external stuff and things I wanted to reach away from home and then used a couple of local services when at home.

Is there something specific in the GNU license you are missing in tmux’s current ISC license.

You can use the command ‘wakeonlan x’ where x is your MAC address of the pc you are trying to wake.

I use WireGuard on a pi and then use wakeonlan from my phone to start my pc.

Use a reverse proxy in front and be sure to have auth setup in Baikal.

I’ve been using it with traefik for 5ish years now without issues.

I’m seriously thinking of getting this. Maybe the Firebat brand though as it has two Ethernet ports and it’s cheaper for me.

Have you had Pi’s? I’m currently using a pi4 4gb and wondering how it compares.

I’m also frustrated with arm as a lot of docker images aren’t working. Recently had issues with Hugo and Jekyll which needs node.js that doesn’t support arm at this version.

Have to tried Immich on it?

We didn’t even have a modem, just a locked down AP with no control. All controlled through the apartment complex.

Was in Kissimmee. We were forced into the apartment complex internet plan and it only included WiFi. No Ethernet ports in the apartment just a WiFi unit where you had to approve MAC addresses for access.

Super frustrating. Ended up buying a router, that would bridge the WiFi and offer Ethernet to my Pi and desktop.

Denmark: 1gbps up/down with static IPv4 and IPv6 address for 105dkk ($15).

I can reliably get the offered speeds and the connection is unlimited. Pretty happy with that.

Where we lived in Florida we has Spectrum and they didn’t even offer Ethernet. Apartment only had WiFi with router access…

Some routers can act as a VPN, but I don’t think an ISP provided one can.

I would suggest you get a raspberry pi zero W or equivalent(like orange pi zero) and setup a WireGuard server on that. It’s only like $15.

That way you can vpn to your network and access devices / services without opening any additional ports.
