For remote access, wireguard is great. You can access stuff via their internal addresses.

One of the few podcasts I listen to sometimes. Wishing them well and thanks for all of the hard work.

I don’t need backlight to type words, but love backlit keys for symbols, brightness keys, volume keys, function keys, etc.

I just discovered (thanks to this site) that you can click the uBlock Origin icon, then “enter element zapper mode” (the lightning bolt). It just gets rid of whatever you want to disappear.

I wonder if it started as a joke.

“Where can you force people to sit still for long enough to detect an afib?”

“The toilet!”

uBlock Origin, to be specific. I don’t know if it’s still a thing, but uBlock used to be not good in comparison to uBlock Origin.

Yeah, it’s hard to find good ones. You could invert it to 120v AC and plug in a regular charger, but you lose efficiency doing that, not to mention the added danger, weight, and complexity.

Oh I think I get it now. So you can terminate the solar panel with something like this and then charge phones with a standard car charger with PD. I like that idea.

I’m not smart, can you tell me if having it behind a reverse proxy with certs and everything fixes any of these flaws?

I’m having trouble imagining what you’re setting out to accomplish. 12v solar panels are higher than 12v. This one gets to 18v, for example. You need a solar charge controller to convert it to 12v, and then you’d need something like this to convert it to 5v to charge your battery bank. Whether your battery bank will “take” 12v without electronics to tell it to is beyond the scope of my knowledge, but AFAIK 5v is universally accepted.

Good to know. I had heard Anker did some shady stuff but never caught wind of a good replacement. The phone charger scene is obscene as seen by OP, and and I would rather buy from Anker than buy garbage.

I could be wrong, but I just did some quick research and it looks like the PD spec always supports all of those voltages. I also did a reverse image search of the image you posted, and it’s some no-name brand from Amazon. Don’t buy no-name brands from Amazon. Stick to Anker.

I’m a fan of Dockge. Nice simplicity, easy to update container stacks, etc. etc.

It looks like the hEX refresh is the same price from that vendor.

RB5009 is better but more expensive. There’s a PoE version that can power your WiFi APs in the future.

I also question the decision to put OpenWrt on it. RouterOS is solid. There’s a learning curve, but it’s worth it if you’re a nerd.

A while back, the docker installation instructions just had “lemmy:latest” as which version to pull. The Lemmy devs aren’t the brightest, and the beta versions are included as “latest”. Now the instructions have you put the specific version to pull, like “0.19.10”.

I wonder if that’s what happened?

Chinstrap Linux haha. It’s like Fedora, but for a totally different demographic.

I didn’t know Gentoo was named after a penguin.

From the GUI go to Datacenter - Notifications. Add a Notification Target of the Webhook type. Mine looks like this:

See the ntfy documentation for different types of authorization, tags (emojis), etc.

Then edit the default Notification Matcher and enable your new target.

By default I get notifications of successful/failed backup jobs. I want to set something up for drive health using SMART, but I’m just sitting down to figure that out now.

Ah, I responded above thinking you already had ntfy set up. Ntfy is so cool, I definitely recommend taking a look at it. I use it for notifications from Home Assistant, Uptime Kuma, Proxmox, etc. There are other similar things out there like Gotify, but I seem to prefer ntfy.

I think if you’re nerdy enough to self host stuff, you can definitely figure out LubeLogger. You don’t have to use all aspects of it… you can just use it for tracking gas mileage if you want.

If you want it to keep track of maintenance like oil changes and stuff, you have to add them manually and tell it how often you want them done.

For tracking gas mileage and maintenance reminders, all you need are 3 tabs - Service Records, Fuel, and Reminders. You can ignore everything else.
