It’s in the photo. Duh

Have lifetime already. No reason to jump. Generally it just works.

No need to have another project while Plex still works fine.

The exit button bothers me more than it should.

Hit the nail on the head. Download the file, inspect, then run that local copy.

I’m one of those people who hate change. I like things just working like the have. The closest I got was Smart Launcher after importing my nova config, though the drawer wasn’t right, the Google search bar I’ve used forever didn’t work anymore, I couldnt get double click of the home button to open Gemini voice anymore, also didn’t like the search ui as much, and didn’t like being able to swipe sideways to get to search (I’ve used a single home screen for a long time).

I’m sure I could be less stubborn and learn but I’m stubborn and happy with what I have.

For now I’ve blocked updates to nova and am still using it.

Makes me wonder how well an AI would do at decompiling an old nova, removing tracking, etc.

This. I use pihole as just a DNS server with blocking off since it was too much to have to deal with the random broken pages.

Probably a line about how they’re not liable if you record in a place where recording isn’t allowed.

If you get annoyed at captchas, try this game: https://neal.fun/not-a-robot/

In a similar vein if you apply to a job, do you prefer being ghosted or a rejection email?

As a serious question: would you rather no email when no updates or an email saying no updates?

I guess I’d rather the email to not wonder if something got lost or some other issue.

Now the multiple in one day: I can’t really defend. That seems nutty. Maybe they should let you choose how often to get the given update.

What if it’s a network mount inside the container? Doesn’t the mount not happen till the container starts?

I have a couple pis that run docker containers including pihole. The containers have their storage on a centralized share drive.

I had a power outage and realized they can’t start if they happen to come up before the share drive PC is back up.

How do people normally do their docker binds? Optimally I guess they would be local but sync/backup to the share drive regularly.

Sort of related question: in docker compose I have restart always and yet if a container exits successfully or seemingly early in it’s process (like pihole) it doesn’t restart. Is there an easy way to still have that restart?

In what way? Anything on the public internet is likely being used for AI training. I guess by using free GitHub you can’t object to training.

Then again anywhere you host you sort of run into the same problem. You can use robots.txt, but things don’t have to listen to it.

Something that may help:

Why doesn’t GitHub Pages fit your use case? It’s nice to get free static hosting from them.

There used to be a scary logo animation for National Amusements that used to scare me as a child. It gives me the creeps now still.

It was all neon and then there would be a creepy screen to show you where the exits were.

(Not directly related but this reminded me of it.)

Another option if you need public access without something like tailscale would be to use ddns and a AAAA record. Something like https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient would help do that.

That way if the IP changes, you’d pick up on the change for your vanity url within a few minutes… and can get https certs for that url as well.

Edit: I reread the OP. This doesn’t help if clients need direct ipv4. Sorry about that.

The UI goes in circles. I wish we stopped changing things when they aren’t broken.

Bad eh security advice: use an alternative ssh port. Lots of actors try port 22 and other common alternatives. Much fewer will do a full port scan looking for an ssh server then try brute forcing.

I have both but just use pihole as a local DNS server/forwarder. I bump into too many random times where sites or redirects don’t work properly since they get blocked.

Consider using containers. I used to think this way, though now my goal is to get down to almost all containers since it’s nice to be able to spin up and down just what the one ‘thing’ needs.
