Looking for a music server

Hi! I’m currently using navidrome, but eventually I will probably need support for multiple users (each user has access to different music or the same music) which isn’t supported in navidrome right now. I don’t really want to run two containers of the same thing if I can avoid it. Thanks

File picker issues

Hi, I’m having issues with the file picker on my arch system. Sometimes it doesn’t work at all. If I press “Upload file” in a browser, nothing happens, no window pops up. It doesn’t work in other apps either when that happens. It sometimes starts working after a restart. Does anyone have any ideas? Let me know if you need any logs and how to get them please :) I’m on arch, hyprland, both xdg-hyprland and xdg-gtk are installed.

Heroes 3 appreciation post

The Heroes of Might and Magic III, 25 years old and still awesome. I honestly think it’s the most replayable game ever (at least for me). Plenty of maps out of the box. Most of them can be played with a different town each time. If you’re done with that, you can change the difficulty. If you’re done with that, you can change the hero. If you’re done with that, there are community maps. If you’re done with that, there are community mods, which also have other maps. It goes on and on. And it’s so easy to just chill as it’s turn based, so no need to pay attention much, unless you really want to. I like playing games while I watch YT, and H3 is perfect for that. I love it haha It’s probably not for everyone, but everyone has to try it at least once (the GoG version tho, forget any other ones exist).

Learning about the political world

Hi! I know I know, we don’t like politics here much but I’ve been wondering if there are any good resources to learn about it. I think it’s important for being part of the society, no? I saw Ground News, and though it seems interesting, I don’t know what right leaning left leaning centre means and what to watch out for. I don’t want to be an expert, but I’d appreciate to know the basics so I know what’s going on around me. Can I learn about it in general or is it per country thing I don’t know. Thanks :)

Ideas to deal with loud neighbours

Hi lemmys! My next door neighbour is driving me crazy. They started at 10:30AM and you can hear them through closed doors and windows, and two brick walls. They have enough brain cells to understand “turn it down”. Any ideas to deal/screw with them? Ideas like frozen pee through letterbox are also appreciated :) Edit: I meant this as a joke. I’m not going to do that https://streamable.com/wb9unc

Nix / NixOS jaykay • Now • 100%

Thinking of switching to NixOS, but I'm not sure about a few things

Hi, everybody! I've been toying with the idea of switching to NixOS for some time. I'm currently on arch (6 months), and while I like the idea of a minimal, only-what-I-want-installed, hackable system with the newest packages, I think having a system that always works, even if an update goes south, is more important to me. Now, I'm still not sure if I should switch. There are some issues I'm worried about, maybe unnecessarily. For one, what are the trade-offs of switching from Arch? Anything I have to watch out for? I've heard there are some issues with regard to the FSH and gaming, or just FSH in general, or just gaming in general. Secondly, the dotfiles. I hear there is the Home Manager for that, but it doesn't have support for everything, so some files would need to be managed in other ways. Is there a way to manage everything at the same time? Even better if everything is in configuration.nix. I thought of using env.etc.xxx.source and .text to link the dotlifes to the etc folder and change the contents, but it feels… cheap and unsafe to do that. Third, are flakes really that important? I hear about them everywhere, I haven't researched them yet, but I'm curious what the fuss is about. Let me know if there is anything else I should consider. I mainly game, watch videos and sometimes play with the system if needed. I'm not sure if I really want to switch, or is it just "oooo, new shiny and cool" thing lol Thanks :)

Looking for indoor security camera recommendation

Hi lemmys. My friend is looking for an indoor security camera. He's only going to use it while he's away, which doesn't happen too often. Otherwise, the camera will be in a box. Are there any good cameras, which also have an iOS app? Can't be self-hosted as he's not that technically savvy and overseas so I can't do it myself lol Thanks :)

Looking for a music solution

Hi peoples! I’m on Apple Music but I want to expand my setup with music hosting but I have no idea how to approach it. Right now I have nothing and know nothing haha. So if you had a guide or would like to share your setup that would be awesome :) Everything from a player, through downloader, to organiser and whatever else is needed. I heard that lidarr works in Albums, which I usually don’t use. I’m a “I hear a song, I like it, I save it, forget the author or album” kind of person 😅 Or maybe it’s not worth it at all I don’t know haha Thanks :)

Privacy focused email recommendation

Hi everyone! Since I was absolutely fucked by Skiff (thank fuck I didn’t pay for it) I’m looking for a new email provider :) I’m not sure I like how proton is transforming into a full on suit, I only need email. Any other recommendations or is proton my only choice really?

Looking for a storage solution

Hi! I have a NUC with 250GB SSD inside. It’s running everything from pihole through arr apps to 3d printing frontend. Since my family is starting to think “hey that’s a good idea can I use it too”, 250GB is starting to be not enough. Do you have any recommendations? A NAS? A DAS? Something else? For now, I’m downloading and deleting shows/movies cos I don’t have space obviously, but eventually I’d like to keep some that are cool. Or backup photos to it and stuff. Thanks :)

Joplin alternative needed

Hi guys! I think I'm over Joplin. Don't get me wrong, it's simple, it works, but… why is it Postgres db…. I have the server on a small box with like 250 GB of space and backing it up with kopia to Backblaze with free 10 GB, so I'm a bit storage cautious. With each snapshot, it seems like a good chunk of the database changes, even when I don't use Joplin that day. That results in kopia backing up those changed files, and backups keep growing. Right now the Joplin database is like 200Mb, BUT when I export the notes from the app… all of them weigh 2Mb… including images. Yes there is versioning of notes, but they shouldn't be that big after one-two months lol. I know I know, I'm being a bit weird about it, but I'm getting daily notifications about backups and I see how they grow each day. Anyway, do you have any alternatives that have an app on iOS and on Linux? Or should I just use Apple Notes in the browser? Thanks EDIT: The answer was easier than I thought. Just don’t back it up, it’s synced which means each device has a copy of it anyway so there is not really need for it, thanks @vvv@programming.dev !

Linux, networking and security books recommendations

Hi! I’m looking for some book recommendations on Linux, networking and security. I’d rather they were 3 separate books, instead of an All-in-one. I know I can learn about this on the internet, but this is kind of my way of reading books. Some like thrillers, I like learning about tech what can I say haha It’s not for school or work, just something to expand my knowledge. Ideally, security and networking would start at fundamentals, and go beyond. In terms of Linux, I’m finishing “how Linux works” by Brian Ward, so something above that would we great! Thank you :)

Problem with the dishwasher

Hi, I have an Indesit 15b1 and it won’t run a cycle. When I turn it on, I get a error code, 3 green solid, amber start light and red flashing salt light. Nothing about it in the manual, Indesit said the same thing. It sometimes starts working after I tilt it for a bit. It’s not the anti flood device, the bottom is dry. I took the drain pump out, it’s clean, so is the drain hose and inlet hose. When I turn it on, it drains the water, then I THINK it tries running the wash pump, and then tries draining again, and the pump again, and the error code. Is there anything I can do before I take the wash pump out? I kinda don’t wanna do it cos it has those one time pinch clamps and I’d need to buy them and all Thanks :)
