rouxdoo@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Recommendation for a privacy respecting Wifi mesh system?71·4 months agoI ditched Netgear due to poor performance and went with Ubiquiti. I’m fortunate that I could afford to buy a console for management but if you’re willing to self-host then there is no cost there. You could then get several APs (they have some as low as $99) and you’re all set.
rouxdoo@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!English551·4 months agoAs a long time plex pass user, is there anything there that would make me want to switch? Plex has just plain worked for me for years. mobile apps, everything is just great. Why should I look around?
rouxdoo@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Is there a Fediverse equivalent to IMDb, TMDB/TheTVDB, or similar platforms for movies/TV?2·6 months agoThey have an API available so I could siphon off my data if I wanted to but then I would need to build something like it to use said data in. I’m good.
rouxdoo@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Is there a Fediverse equivalent to IMDb, TMDB/TheTVDB, or similar platforms for movies/TV?6·6 months agoIt isn’t federated but I use Trakt to manage watch lists and scrobble my viewing history from Plex. There are some discovery features and a minor social aspect.
rouxdoo@lemmy.worldto Voyager@lemmy.world•Feature Request: Block communities by keywordEnglish3·6 months agoI would be happy to have groups of community maintained blocklist filters - one for memes, shitposts, politics, nsfw (or not nsfw), music/media, etc. Then we could subscribe to the blocklists and when a new community is created that offends just one person has to add it to the appropriate blocklist for everybody to benefit.
rouxdoo@lemmy.worldto Sysadmin@lemmy.world•What skills should I cultivate do learn to be a sysadmin as a back up job opportunity?324·8 months agoYou list an education qualification in your post which has nothing to do with your stated intention. Yes, you’re learned and probably smart but why do you want to be a sysadmin?
Have you ever coded anything? Do you want to learn that? Do you want to use your humanities degree to be a caring supporter of stupid system users? Are you even aware of the credo of the bastard operator from hell?
Sorry…saw your post and just wanted to take a piss…you’ll be fine if you want to do that but it’s probably not just like “installing linux” on a computer.
My wife likes AnyList so I use it too. If you’re looking for privacy-focused group lists I would suggest Home Assistant to-do lists (assuming you’re running Home Assistant already).
rouxdoo@lemmy.worldto Apple@lemmy.world•Which Macbook and mini as home media server/backup target10·1 year agoDon’t sweat the RAM. The M series really are different than the intel forebears. You’ll be fine with all of your considered options.
rouxdoo@lemmy.worldto Usenet@lemmy.world•Got my Drunken Slug account. What else do I need to get started?English7·2 years agoYou will want a download client - I prefer SABnzbd. You might want automators like sonarr, radarr. Someone will come along with a helpful start-to-finish guide for a complete automation setup. I set mine up so long ago I can’t recall what workflow I used.
rouxdoo@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Ditching MyQ for OpenGarage - Open Source Garage Door ControlEnglish52·2 years agoThe cheap-as-dirt meross does, it has an open/closed sensor.
rouxdoo@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Ditching MyQ for OpenGarage - Open Source Garage Door ControlEnglish52·2 years agoMost openers have a dumb switch interface. A simple close-to-change circuit - I’ve never had one that wasn’t that way. If MyQ is so complicated (serial interface!?) then it needs to go anyway.
rouxdoo@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Ditching MyQ for OpenGarage - Open Source Garage Door ControlEnglish124·2 years agolol, just get a dumb opener and a shelly relay or use a meross unit. Super cheap and flawless local control that is cloud-connected if you want it.
I wrote it to automate my workflow - I’m in sales. I enter site details at the customer location and my app crunches the numbers to pre-fill all relevant documents (contract, financing, etc) in PDF form. I also use it as a presentation device to explain service and product details/specs using pictures, videos and PDF documents.
No more paper, no more fiddling around with calculator and rate-cards. I do a little data entry and basically my job is done.
Oops, I’m sorry - I should have mentioned that it’s not on the App Store. It is chock full of company proprietary documents, photos and sales formulae. I wrote it just for myself.
The one I wrote myself to automate tasks at work. It has saved me hundreds of hours of tedium and makes my job so much easier. It only cost me a few weeks of learning (I am not a developer, just a tinkerer) to get it done. It lives happily on my phone and iPad and I use it every day.
rouxdoo@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•With the recent developments of Phillips Hue, I feel like more people should look into Shelly devices. I have a few and they're great.8·2 years agoI have quite a few Shelly devices, mostly relays. I Like them very much but they are not ideal if your target is HomeKit. There are work-arounds out there but they do not specifically support Apple ecosystem.
rouxdoo@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's something that's not common knowledge but you think everyone should know?2234·2 years agoThe HR department at your company is the company’s advocate they are not your advocate.
rouxdoo@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's something that you were surprised to find out a lot of people hate?2·2 years agoIf you haven’t already go get Reamde by Neil Stephenson. Slightly similar but less campy vibe - also enjoyed.
DC…Trump to the moon to fix - Trump.
Stratosphere - blow all the CO2 out into space and fix global warming.
Schwarma after with friends.
Oh yeah, grab the great plastic pollution bomb in the pacific and hurl it into the sun then use fry-eyes to burn every plastic manufacturer on the planet.
