The caps lock thing hurts my feelings (ಥ_ʖಥ)

Tasker - for automating anything, everything.

I was tempted by these n100 mini PCs, but worried about the no-name components. I saw many people on reddit/lemmy recommending Dell, Lenovo, HP micro form factor PCs. You can pick them up used from eBay as companies clear out “old” computers. The advantage of the known brands is ongoing firmware support.

Take it from someone who is a Linux noob and Googles for terminal commands every time, and whose most used keys are ctrl c, ctrl v…

1. Go to official docker documentation, copy paste the commands to install docker.
2. go to Portainer documentation, copy paste the commands to install Portainer Community Edition
3. Find a service you want to install, copy the ‘docker compose’ text. (A good first service to install is Watchtower which takes care of updating other containers)
4. go to Portainer’s browser UI, find the ‘stacks’ tab, paste, click ‘deploy’

Don’t do this on your main server. Use some old hardware or a cheap VPS to practise on.

The main skill I need is googling and asking AI. It’s that easy.

“It’s terminal”

I don’t use a hearing aid (…yet), but I do find videos difficult when the audio mix has the ‘background’ music too loud relative to the voice.

Audiobookshelf also finds, manages, streams podcasts. After Google killed off Google Podcasts, ABS has been an even better replacement in my experience.

My pleasure, let us know how you get on.

Good question… Accessible to all apps so you can copy, move, sync.

They’re just files saved to some location on the phone. So it’s as easy as copying or transferring any file.

That’s probably because you’re in a country whose CSC code allows recording.

I forgot to say… Samsung only! It’s a basic recorder, records automatically, no audible notification as far as I’m aware (that might depend on the CSC code you use and legal requirements of that country). Playback is from within the recent calls list.

SamFW Tool to the rescue! I changed my CSC code to INS which enabled call recording. Downside is that Samsung Pay is unreliable but not sure if that’s related to this change. Personally, I’d take call recording over Samsung Pay.

If it helps, Adguard Home has individual settings of 24h, 7d, 30d, 90d for logs and stats.

Libre Cloud’s head office is a unit on an industrial estate: 82A James Carter Rd, https://maps.app.goo.gl/nu75EEHEDFbY5PMW9 (Update: it’s a virtual office address, which doesn’t really inspire confidence for me)

They probably colocate at data centres.

Personally, I’m on Hetzner’s Storage Share (Nextcloud but without Collabora), and I’d prefer to trust my data to them: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/

Regardless of your choice, I definitely agree that nextcloud rocks.

Trying to work out why this is a good idea. Please could you explain why?

I used to Google for help, but the thing about Google is you have to know the correct technical terms, but when learning Linux, there are many unknown unknowns. And then you have to trawl through am the answers.

Now, any time I enter a command and get errors, or if I don’t understand something in the logs, I’ll copy paste it into perplexity.ai - if necessary, it’ll ask for clarification. But mostly, it’ll suggest various causes and solutions, with explanation.
