If the main battery isn’t “meant to be replaced”, it will often act as the CMOS battery (e.g. MacBooks have been doing this since roughly 2008).

I find it even more puzzling as surely it has to be a decent increase in server demand to constantly be streaming video. How can that be worth it??

Push Notifications don’t really exist for Lemmy yet, as they aren’t supported in the backend currently:

As someone else here said, your best bet is probably monitoring your Inbox RSS feed.

Yesss fcast looks incredibly promising. Sadly the only app implementing it seems to be GrayJay, I really hope it will catch on more.

TVHeadend is the way, I’ve been running it with a USB satellite tuner for 5+ years. Setting it up can be a little confusing, but once it’s running you pretty much never have to touch it again.

As for clients, there’s a Jellyfin plugin, however it seems to not work for me right now.

My client of choice is Kodi with the TVHeadend plugin, and that works great. If you still want Jellyfin integration, you could just add your recordings folder as a library in Jellyfin.

Could I purchase two different brand drives and use them with btrfs?

I don’t quite remember the source for this, but I believe I read some time ago that it’s actually a good thing to have separate drives. The reasoning is, if you buy two identical drives (at the same time), the likelyhood of both drives failing around the same time is severely higher.

This is then amplified by the fact that rebuilding a RAID puts a lot of strain on the non-dead drive, so if ie. drive 1 dies and drive 2 is about to die, the strain you put on drive 2 in order to rebuild your RAID onto drive 3 might kill drive 2 before you even finish rebuilding your RAID.

Again, this is just from my memory, it might be worth doing some more research on.

Incase you’re still searching, chech my other comment here.

Slightly old post, but hopefully still helpful to someone:

I managed to read out my analog water meter using the following ESP32 image: https://github.com/jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device

It uses an ESP32-CAM module that actively reads your meter, using machine vision. The data is then published via MQTT. There are even some stl files for cases/mounts for common energy meters.

Once setup properly (with a 3D printed case from the provided stl files), I found it to work quite well. I have a pretty clean standard German water meter though.

Public transport in Magic Earth mostly works for me. It’s not as good as Google Maps, but it’s better than nothing.

+1 for kid3

I’d recommend spinning up a backrest docker container on your main NAS, which you can then use to backup to all kinds of sources. You could then for example expose a WebDav share on your second NAS, and setup automatic backups for there.

Even though this is the DeGoogling sub, you could also use Google Drive or OneDrive as a backup source, as backrest/restic fully encrypts all backups.

Nope, you’re doing everything right. Unfortunately it seems like that station actually just isn’t available in whatever catalog Transistor uses.

Only if you’re logged in as an Administrator though. A “standard” user account can’t access WiFi passwords on Windows.

I’m not too knowledgeable on that topic, but doesn’t Linux store WiFi or smb-share passwords in some keychain?

Edit: missread your comment a little, I’m guessing you meant that there are multiple different keychains on Linux

I just read the full article, and I’m not even that concerned about storing the key in plaintext. I find the possibility of copying the files, and then being able to run the same session simultaneously a lot scarier.

As the article states, currently all processes are able to read the file which contains the key. Instead, you could store the key in the macOS Keychain (and Linux/Windows equivalents), which AFAIK is a list of all sorts of sensitive data (think WiFi passwords etc.), encrypted with your user password. I believe the Keychain also only let’s certain processes see certain entries, so the Signal Desktop App could see only its own encryption key, whereas for example iMessage would only see the iMessage encryption key.

It seems to also have american stations, I’d recommend you still give it a try.

I don’t know its source for stations, but Transistor has direkt links for many German radio stations and probably other regions too.

I still vastly prefer FM, DAB or Satellite radio, but when those aren’t available Transistor is a nice alternative.

I believe Blurays are still a very good medium for long term data storage, like a cold offsite backup.

If by ‘Experience’ you mean the UI, I really like LibreTube. As you already said, personalized recommendations will only work with the ‘proper’ YouTube app. In that case I’d suggest looking into ReVanced. Afaik it doesn’t improve privacy, but it does revert some of the stupid changes YouTube has made over the years.
