Oneplus 7 Pro on release. Amazing phone, great value. Still holds up years later

Thanks for the info! Just struggling to find a suitable tempered glass protector now since the pixel 9s moved to the ultrasonic style fingerprint reader.

Pixel 9? If so, what screen protector did you go with?

Just got one and the screen protector I bought doesn’t work with the new style fingerprint sensor, so looking for a known-working brand

Here’s one I have saved in my shell aliases.

nscript() {
    local name="${1:-nscript-$(printf '%s' $(echo "$RANDOM" | md5sum) | cut -c 1-10)}"
    echo -e "#!/usr/bin/env bash\n#set -Eeuxo pipefail\nset -e" > ./"$name".sh && chmod +x ./"$name".sh && hx ./"$name".sh
}
alias nsh='nscript'

Admittedly much more complicated than necessary, but it’s pretty full featured. first line constructs a filename for the new script from a generated 10 character random hash and prepends “nscript” and a user provided name.

The second line writes out the shebang and a few oft used bash flags, makes the file executable and opens in in my editor (Helix in my case).

The third line is just a shortened alias for the function.

In addition to the ones listed:

• Matrix client (Element, Shildichat, Fluffy chat, etc.)

• XMPP client (Conversations, Monocles Chat, Blabber, etc.)

• SimpleX Chat

• Briar

None of them are tied to your phone number if that’s what you mean by non voip.

Tried ElementX but ran into issues while getting it working with a selfhosted matrix server. After setting up dendrite (matrix server) and sliding-sync server (asynchronous message history syncing; which it requires) I still wasn’t able to get past the initial sync screen. Are you hosting your own matrix server, did you use it with a public server, or have you not tried using it yet?

Even if you need something just once, just install it and then uninstall it, takes like 10 seconds.

apt install foo && apt remove foo

That’s essentially what nix-shell -p does. Not a special feature of nix, just nix’s way of doing the above.

Actually using it though is pretty convenient; it disappears on its own when I exit the shell. I used it just the other day with nix-shell -p ventoy to install ventoy onto an ssd, I may not need that program again for years. Just used it with audible-cli to download my library and strip the DRM with ffmpeg. Probably won’t be needing that for a while either.

The other thing to keep in mind is that since Nix is meant to be declarative, everything goes in a config file, which screams semi-permenant. Having to do that with ventoy and audible-cli would just be pretty inconvenient. That’s why it exists; due to how Nix is, you need a subcommand for temporary one-off operations.

If you’re ok with just file storage sftpgo has been solid for me for years now. Does sftp ftp and WebDAV (like nextcloud). Webui isn’t as pretty but it’s fast. Mobile apps will be various sync apps with sftp or WebDAV support. On Android folder sync pro is pretty good for keeping documents and pictures backed up

Hallelujah!

Not trying to out myself, but I may be one of the few people that actually owned that shirt lol

Which Android devices are you currently using?

Oneplus 7 Pro

What do you love most about them?

Having a pop-up camera probably, clean uninterrupted screen.

Having an unlockable bootloader and non-oem roms is pretty nice too.

What do you dislike?

Probably the rounded glass screen edges.

Stock roms are utter trash.

Have 256gb storage, but microsd expansion would be nice.

Would love to run CalyxOS or GrapheneOS, but understandably there’s no build for this phone.

Edit: Detail. Also probably won’t consider changing phone until Google foldables get good and can de-google with a aftermarket rom.

Kopia repo on a separate disk dedicated to backups. Have Kopia on my servers as well sending to my local s3 gateway and second copy to wasabi.

Today’s episode of Veronica Explains is brought to you in part by corporate greed.

Less than 5 seconds in and I already know I’m going to like this video.

Well that’s disappointing. I’ll have to investigate further I guess. I was really hoping to set it up (at least initially) without any type of media storage.

Oh I see, I definitely misunderstood what you were asking. How is your caddy server set up? Is it serving one site per subdomain (site.your.domain) or is it one site per path (your.domain/site/)? I am running traefik so I probably won’t be able to help with specifics, but it’s worth a shot.

Correcting the link for non lemmy.world users. !unixporn@lemmy.world

The way I have my monitoring set up is to poll the containers from behind the proxy layer. Ex. if I’m trying to poll Portainer for example:

---
services:
    portainer:
    ...

with the service name portainer

from uptime-kuma within the same docker network it would look like this:

Can confirm this is working correctly to monitor that the service is reachable. This doesn’t however ensure that you can reach it from your computer, because that depends on if your reverse proxy is configured correctly and isn’t down, but that’s what I wanted in my case.

Edit: If you’re wanting to poll the http endpoint you would add it before like http://whatever_service:whatever_port

I believe the Pictrs is a hard dependency and Lemmy just won’t work without it, and there is no way to disable the caching

I’ll have to double check this but I’m almost certain pictrs isn’t a hard dependency. Saw either the author or one of the contributors mention a few days ago that pictrs could be discarded by editing the config.hjson to remove the pictrs block. Was playing around with deploying a test instance a few days ago and found it to be true, at least prior to finalizing the server setup. I didn’t spin up the pictrs container at all, so I know that it will at least start and let me configure the server.

The one thing I’m not sure of however is if any caching data is written to the container layer in lieu of being sent to pictrs, as I didn’t get that far (yet). I haven’t seen any mention that the backend even does local storage, so I’m assuming that no caching is taking place when pictrs is dot being used.

Edit: Clarifications

Thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely be looking into adding this to my infra alerting stack. Should pair well with webhooks using ntfy for notifications. Currently just have bash scripts push to uptime-kuma for disk usage monitoring as a dead man trigger, but this should be better as a first-line method. Not to mention all the other functionalities it has baked in.

Edit: Would also be great if there was an already compiled binary in each release so I can use bare-metal, but the container on ghcr.io is most-likely what I’ll be using anyway. Thanks for not only uploading to docker hub.
