In case of the ER7212PC, it’s only fixed in the v2 hardware revision. No free upgrade.

Is there anything comparable in the TP-Link Omada ecosystem?

Is that something that docker can do? I presume gocryptfs can be used to wrap an SMB mounted Hetzner storage box. Haven’t tried it myself though. I would be careful storing any personal data on it unencrypted.

Wouldn’t you want your photos to be encrypted at rest on the Hetzner storage box?

Which 4 port USB HDD dock did you pick? And how did you setup the drives? (MergerFS/Snapraid?)

I actually wonder how I can get them out? Every background service wants some screen estate in the menu bar, but the app that I need is always hidden behind the notch of my MacBook. Why can’t I hide the ones I don’t frequently need?

In Gmail, I try to archive or delete everything that I’m done with, but it’s difficult to keep up with many notifications flowing in, which I don’t delete immediately or are relevant for the next few days and I never get back to. It’s easy

And since Sonoma and iOS 18, Calendar and Reminders are finally integrated, so it’s easy to see upcoming reminders.

You can add your download folder to $daily_clean_tmps_dirs in /etc/periodic.conf and files not accessed for three days will automatically be deleted. See /etc/defaults/periodic.conf and /etc/periodic/

Can MRSK be used to manage deploying applications that are distributed as Docker images, such as Adguard Home? I see there is support for ‘accessories’ such as Redis. What if I only want to deploy an image and skip building a Dockerfile and

What hardware would be recommended for a Tailscale subnet router between two sites with a GBit link? Saturating a full-duplex GBit link would require two LAN ports, ruling out the option of a raspberry pi, wouldn’t it?

I feel that I am spoiled with a great graphical user interface being available to explore MySQL databases in the form of Sequel Ace for macOS, to the point that I sometimes load an sqlite database in MySQL just to be able to browse through

At first it felt ‘magical’ being able to reach self-hosted services from my phone regardless of my location, but I quickly noticed the battery drain as well. I believe it has to do with an always-on ‘VPN’ and I don’t expect any improvements

Unfortunately not. It opens Chrome to authenticate with Google but never redirects back to the native app. So I 'installed' Home Assistant as a PWA and found there is practically no need for me to use the app. On iOS it does work

I'm using a Cloudflare tunnel to expose Home Assistant protected by Google Auth and use it anywhere from my personal devices.

I found the Tailscale Android app to take quite a big hit on my battery when used as an always-on VPN, so I use cloudflared on a VPS to create a Google authenticated tunnel to home assistant (over Tailscale).

> get a Synology/Qnap/FreeNAS box to backup all your stuff locally, and back that up to another service (e.g. Glacier or Synology's own C2). I'm not a big fan of backing-up a back-up and opted for a Time Machine backu

That is also my approach. It takes some courage to do, but makes for a much calmer workday.

Thanks! I was already wondering if this would be possible. Signing data has its uses, but I more often have to transfer sensitive data to other GitHub users and this tool seems really useful for that!

The tools and APIs that your company offers make it really difficult to create such a backup and to keep it in sync. How can I do this for Google Photos? The Google Photo API returns compressed files with missing EXIF info. The Google Takeo

Nice article, thanks for sharing! I first read Clayton Christensen's Competing Against Luck and was excited by the case studies. To make it actionable, I bought Alan Klement's When Coffee and Kale Compete (yes bought, worth the mo

Is this a sync or a proper versioned backup (à la Hyper Backup)? So will it protect me against ransomware and accidental mass file deletion?

by mlangenberg 8y ago
Wouldn't that remove an additional layer of protection? When you move from physical storage + backblaze backup to B2 storage, B2 becomes a single source failure, right?
