Hmm, it’s been a while, maybe I’m misremembering. There were definitely some categories of Plex content not from my library that kept reappearing on the home page of my server, despite trying to get rid of them a few times. Maybe they weren’t actually paid, I just assumed they’d only be pushing something if it was going to bring them more revenue.

The other thing that made me want to jump ship extremely fast was when they started sharing your recently watched items with other users, without asking.

Even with Plex pass they were really pushing their paid content. Much happier with Jellyfin, and it was very easy to switch.

How do you manage switching between accounts? I ideally just want one feed.

that discussion of topics that was more popular on Lemmy, like Linux, would drown out my other interests

I certainly run into that. I don’t think I have the energy for multiple accounts, but I wish I could ask for roughly equal numbers of posts from my top 4-5 communities, instead of News + WorldNews dominating everything.

Good point about a default deny approach to users and ssh, so random services don’t add insecure logins.

The one db I saw compromised at a previous employer was an AWS RDS with public Internet access open and default admin username/password. Luckily it was just full of test data, so when we noticed its contents had been replaced with a ransom message we just deleted the instance.

I have ESP8266 WiFi modules running Tasmota firmware for a few parts of this. Some report temperature (and humidity just for fun), I like DS18B20 sensors better than SHT30s which seem to have a bit more self heating. Then I also have Mitsubishi mini split heat pumps for which there’s a Tasmota control library. MQTT for communication + HomeAssistant for UI + AppDaemon for automation scripts in Python.

Examples of the UI in HA:

One of the attractions is Unifi for me was that even if you can use the cloud management, it’s still possible to do it all self-hosted (even run the network controller on any OS) too. I didn’t feel like it was being too pushy about going cloud.

I started messing with Linux, then became a developer. Whatever draws your interest!

Yeah, every time I find some weird annoying behavior or some missing feature in MySQL, PostgreSQL is doing it right.

That said, also ask yourself if you really need a relational database, or whether an object store or append-only / timeseries db would fit better.

Lovely light and cloth.

Also is the secret about the length of his left forearm?

According to the myth, Zeus saw and fell in love with a beautiful mortal youth by the name Ganymede. Ganymede was abducted by Zeus from Mount Ida near Troy in Phrygia. Ganymede had been tending sheep, a rustic or humble pursuit characteristic of a hero’s boyhood before his privileged status is revealed, when an eagle transported the youth to Mount Olympus. The bird is sometimes described as being under the command of Zeus and sometimes as being Zeus himself.

Seems cool!

Does it handle sharing a task list between people? Or syncing between multiple clients / handling concurrent edits?

I see the manual says keyboard commands are the main way to control it. Does it work in mobile?

Looks like you’re putting lots of work into it, thanks for sharing.

An interesting series: https://www.bobartlett.com/paintings-/heartland/view/4803671/0/4803673 . Not sure what I think the message is.

Is there a self hosted OpenTelemetry consumer?

Good to know!

This is mostly for entertainment, not harvest yield.

More of his work.

You never know, but art from photos often lacks depth to me. This feels like someone really observed the model’s / situation’s form.

Part of my inspiration to learn to program was that I wanted to blink my capslock key. Did learn to program, did learn Morse, never did that project.

Whoops (edited). Actually, it was impressive when he was reaching in from the top of the frame to water that we never saw his pants.
