In m opinion, practicing with real life problems is the best teacher. There are some ways to cut and convert videos, audio and images via terminal. Maybe there is still a way to enrich or streamline your workflow with that. Maybe a script which will prepare the folder of your next project. Also, xdotools let you automate a lot of sometimes tedious routines.

The mascot is ... something I did not expect. °_°

Wow, that was a rabbit hole of information, links and ideas. Thanks a lot. I reached a point of what I would call "satisfaction" https://cdn.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/selecting-storage-media.pdf was back linked by Nestor and it seems to give me an idea of what I'll do next. Thanks again 👍

Wow, you found the mother lode!

Love the form factor. That's right my alley

Wow, that is an extensive list! Impressive. I guess, your home lab doesn't live just in an pi or old nuc. What kind of hardware are you using for all that?

https://www.ganttproject.biz This one is nice

M-disk, never heard of that. I got a quick research done and it seems to be exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

RSS-Bridge

Thank you, i will get myself one of those 301 and check it out 👍

Puppeteer and playwright were not mentioned yet

Never recording videos... That is outrageous ;) Interesting train of thought, though. Video is the main data hog on my drives. It's easy to mess up the compression. At the same time is combines audio, image and time in one easy to consume file. Personally, i would miss it.

Nice, looks like the perfect community to join. Thank you.

To crawl I use playwright and cheerio to traverse through the html. I startet with another library, but playwright is more stable in my opinion (or just in my use Case). After the crawl I use nodecron to send Mails with nodemailer to myself, on a daily basis. All together it is a node.js app I wrote, inside a docker container.

That looks very neat. It is also a great resource for more inspiration. I will definitely try it out. Thank you.

That's a great list. Thank you. I thought about vault warden, it is great as a self hosted alternative to bit warden. At the same time, I am not sure if I would be able to properly secure it.

I just read about forgejo, while reading up on Codeberg, which seems to be very popular here.

I am intrigued about baserow. What are you using it for?

Yes I am interested. It is very insightful. I have a follow up question, if you don't mind. I like the idea of getting off-grid... or off-mega-corp. You use home assistant for heating and lightning. With heating you mean, by any chance, automatic thermostats on single radiators? I dabbled a bit with that but had a hard time to find some without the necessity to Link them via telemetry sending apps. What is your take from that?

Thanks for sharing. That is not what I expected. My nuc sometimes seems sluggish, even with a fairly small load. Guess i have something hogging the resources. 🤨

Interesting take on the test process. Never really thought of that. I just trusted in rsyncs error messages. Maybe I write a script to automate those checks. Thanks

So you would suggest to get bigger and bigger storages?

I really like and can embrace the philosophical part. I do delete rigorously data. At the same time, i once had a data lost, because I was young and stupid and tried to install Suse without an backup. I still am sad to not to be able to look at the images of me and my family from this time. I do look at those pictures/videos/recordings from time to time. It gives me a nice feeling of nostalgia. Also grounds me and shows me how much have changed.

Had no problem with Linux mint 21.x.

Wow, a lot to dig through. Thank you! Joplin server catched my eye immediately. I use Joplin as my ... Well, to write everything down. Didn't know there was a server version for it.

Ugh, sounds icky. Thanks for the advice:)

That is an always ON approach? For example with an NAS? While that is a very save approach, it does not fit the idea of having something "on the shelf". Thank you for the advice though :)

That's neat!

Checked it out, thanks. I have to figure out, how it compares to my rsync Script

Good advice. My off-site is my brother's place.

Thank you, I will look into KWin.

Turns out, it is awesome and does more than I need. I already move a lot of my applications with xdotool to prediscribed positions and sizes, via hotkeys, which start some scripts. Now I found out, it also can move them across virtual desktops. Nice :)

"The strength is in the diversity of the mediums" I like that. Should be part of the book of Zen for Backups. Thank you for your insights.

Is it possible to "save" those sessions between reboots? That would be awesome.

Interesting, this one needs definitely a deep research from me. I love rss feeds, at the same time the summaries tend to be click baity. I was fantasizing to get the full articles and use ollama to boil them down. Remove all the bloat text.

I saw in the feature list the possibility to play yt videos directly in miniflux. What is your typical use Case miniflux<->YouTube wise?
