Can you set the BIOS to wake up at a certain time? Many have that option.

Ugh, I just got matrix with video working and it took way too long.

When I set it up, I did not know better.

Now? Inertia. Nginx already does it for other things, I haven’t bothered to move home assistant over because home assistant works ( all but one days in a cycle)

I understand.

I learned again for the nth time that home assistant doesnt like refreshing my cert, and I can’t go to the site to refresh the cert unless it has a valid cert…

Maybe I’ll fix it tomorrow. It’s valid again now.

I looked into it briefly: They have a comparison of different forks on their GitHub, it looks like when they ran the comparison, chaptarr did pretty poorly.

They also claim chaptarr is vibe coded, which carries it’s own baggage.

The closest I have is setting up a small single board computer as a vpn tunnel that your kobo can connect to, but I haven’t been that much in need. (Tunnel to home, then the kobo thinks it’s home and all is good)

I don’t want to punch a hole in my network that isn’t secured in some way for the kobo.

Still using readarr, with rreading glasses metadata

Watching the development of chaptarr and waiting for it to be ready for a daily driver

My process typically goes: ooh, shiny new service!
If it has a docker compose, I’ll read up a little more on it, then set it up.
At that point, I’ll cry a bit in having to change my nginx config, because it’s new and unsupported, figure out what’s actually needed, then realize I didn’t set it up with authentik or even check if it was supported.
Usually I’ll dig around and someone got something close, so I’ll set it up that way, and if it works, great! If not, dig through the documents.

Any further interoperability is luck based.

(I’m currently trying to get element-call working before I open it to my family, the whole matrix stack is leaving me scarred )

I started trying to set it up last week, I can’t seem to figure out why authentik and it will not play. It either tries authentik and gets a 404 or ignores it and doesn’t find the user. (Nginx is also involved). It’s the least user friendly thing I’ve tried to self host so far

for future me: Matrix, MAS, Authentik and nginx are working okay now. I because I tested out matrix, I needed to wipe the database, then my account would load right. Importantly, getting all the URLs correct was important, and important to nginx as well.

Using MAS helped clear things up, as is one set of documentation for mas as opposed to merging docs for a bunch of different authentication services to figure out what’s going on. Pay attention to the ports in their documents, and what gets routed where.

Next step: voice and video

No complaints, but I’m just 2-3 users, so I’ve not really pushed it hard.

Ram is full. I wouldn’t say performance is great, but it’s good enough that no one complains.

I’ve got the arr stack, nextcloud and immich, with 16gb ram and I’m pretty sure I shouldn’t add anything else.

I’ve got a 4-bay ugreen nas with truenas on it, works great. (The non plus model)

I started with a Minecraft server, once the PC was in the basement…

Mine doesn’t have 80, it has a reverse proxy on 443 when I’m using a subdomain, but there is an option to use a subfolder instead. (This is with nginx, not apache, but I would assume it’s similar)

The thing that doesn’t yet work for me is the redirect back after authentik login. (The login works, but just doesn’t do it as seamlessly as I expect and I think it’s a config issue)

The first thing I did with my ugreen was install truenas, then learn how to use truenas.

While I’ve migrated several docker compose apps over, I feel I’m still learning the truenas part of the system.

The one that hits us in self hosted is https://auth.docker.io/

Two replies there that came to my attention, while I’m unable to get back to sleep at 5am. An old one mentioning https://github.com/kanzure/pdfparanoia which seems to be an old tool that removes watermarks, hasn’t been updated in 5 years, but neither has the PDF spec?

The other is this paste of text:

if it helps anyone, here’s what I do to prepare a pattern for uploading to make sure it is ‘clean’:

Check over the PDF files for any reference to my name/email address (usually this is in a footer on each page, and not every pattern company does this)
If my personal details are present, I unlock the files using a site like ILovePDF - There are other sites but this one has no daily limits
Open the unlocked PDF in Adobe Professional or another PDF editor of your choice and delete the footer box. You can just delete the box on the first page it appears, or the first page it is a standalone box, then save the pdf, close and reopen it - usually it will now be gone from all pages.
Repeat for any other PDF files (obviously)
Run PDF and jpeg files through an exif cleaner
Double check and upload.

MaM irc or forums might be able to help with that, if you’re a member, they deal with PDFs and such all the time.

My only advice is to give yourself dailies that you actually want to work on, not things you should be doing. Put those in habits until you want to work on them.

Tasks are for bigger, one off projects like “decorate for Halloween”. … Which reminds me
