Rustdesk for me is fantastic, it’s completely replaced everything else. Except for 1 small hitch, that I cannot seem to solve, and I don’t know if it is Rustdesk’s fault, but it’s the only service I am hosting that has this problem. LAN can connect to LAN, and external can connect to external. However local machines cannot communicate with devices outside my network, and devices outside my network cannot communicate with LAN devices…

Fixed it by using VPN on my machine, so I’m no longer within my own network, and using… Another program for when I need to connect to my local machines outside of my own network.

This is a smart solution. Only solution I have so far is self hosting bitwarden, using unique password to login, and having 2fa to login to bitwarden, where the key is in bitwarden, and on aegis on a phone at home.

You’re absolutely right. It’s all about your threat model, how much convenience you’re willing to lose and what not.
I absolutely should do more to minimize potential risk, but it’s really so convenient to just… Have it all in 1 place…

I do this. I want to point out it is absolutely TERRIBLE for security. It’s turning 2 factor back into 1 factor authentication.

For anyone reading this and getting ideas… Syncthing is not a backup tool. Please don’t use it for backups. the devs have addressed this so many times.

Before you lose your data, please try deleting a single file and see what happens.

Yeah the warnings are there for a reason, it is very new. However, only had to change my docker compose once, and that’s it. Otherwise everything has worked flawlessly.

The warning serves to make you aware that it is beta software, and to have 3-2-1 backup solution.

Too bad it’s US only.

I’d love to know how to deal with this. Currently sitting on 12TB used. Decent upload but cloud storage for that much is expensive. I have 5 8TB HDDs, 2 of which act as redundancy in RAID6 config.

One thought I had was convince a friend to setup the same, and dedicate half of each other’s storage as redundancy for the other person.

Good bot.

Yepp, I started just using vanilla chromium though instead, as that offers a barebones option to guarantee I don’t need to mess around to test something works.

Pwrsonally I don’t use Brave due to it being chromium, outside of that itis a good browser. If they were a firefox fork I would absolutely use them.

Available for anyone to download… only available for Mac/iOS… Windows waitlist… No linux mention…

Okidoki.

Why avoid ice water?

I run EndeavourOS. It’s like arch for noobs haha.
I didn’t really have to learn anything to use it, it just kind of works.
I do feel it’s somewhat pointless though since I didn’t have to learn anything, and I wouldn’t be able to fix it if it broke.

I keep wanting to try out vanillaOS and everytime I liveboot it, I immediately regret my decision. I cannot stand Gnome.
I love KDE, I love it for how versatile, intuitive and customizable it is.
Bot to mention, I rarely experience any bugs. It just works.

Thanks! I actually did briefly try it as a Keep notes replacement, but decided against it purely because the checklist function does not actually remove the item from the list so it doesn’t work as a shopping list, so the wife would never use it!

I did not consider the potential of using it to store bookmarks. I’ll give it another look. Thanks!

I actually use Revolut as my main bank account. :) Fantastic service but unfortunately it can only track stuff spent within Revolut. I use Cubux because I can track all of my bank accounts, and have a shared overview of my wife’s and I’s finance. Both of us have all of our accounts connected there. They made it incredibly easy to use, just unfortunate that it’s not open source or self hostable.

Depending on how much you use ChatGPT, the API might be a better option. For me at least I’m spending about $3 a month using their API, while the ChatGPT subscription is… $23.80/m.

I might decide to try this for bookmarks. My current problem is I collect all info in various bookmarks. Like open source tools > media/office/bookmarks , royaltyfree > music/pictures/movies, cloud services > storage/VPS/dedicated, temp shares > files/images/video etc etc etc

It ends up with a lot of duplicates because some things fit into multiple categories, I’m at over 3k bookmarks now.
I am curious if it might work well to use bookstack for that instead. Thank you for the idea.
