I know what you mean, at work right now when you run Linux they don’t give you support but they also don’t enforce any of the bullshit but skill give you VPN access to the work resources.

On win and Mac they dust disabled USB storage access and there is a to other bullshit going in TN the name of security while everyone uploads their code to openai or anthropic because they’re pushing for it

So now I am hidden from IT, when those Sanitized Linux ditros start showing up they will build in the same bullshit as they have from win and Mac now and then I’m fucked, because they will force me to use them

One caveat is that all of us are using the same user radicale user account
This is not necessary, we don’t do that we have the same setup but what I did was I just symlinked the shared calendars, to all the users, see https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale/wiki/Sharing-Collections

Yeah, actually once I realized how much they have I turned it off in panic first, but then I realized, turning it off only disallowes me access to it, they still have it, so I turned it back on.

OK, I didn’t read the full text but I saw self-hostable alternative to Google Timeline and Hona Assistant and I’m sold!

Google timeline once genuenly helped me get my Swedish citizenship, but it also freaked me out how much data Google had about me.

I had to write down when I left the country and when I came back for the last 5 years or so, and without timeline it would not been possible because during that time I traveled abroad at least twice a Mont for a year.

Anyway it sounds very cool especially because I’m already having Home assistant set up for this but it doesn’t have this timeline functionality.

FairScan, very cool, I was looking for something like that. I already use Paperless.

Yes I always have it on, both when I’m at home and away. The problem is that when I try to pay something with Samsung Pay, the Samsung Pay app tells me to turn off the VPN before I can use it.

That sounds too good to be true :D I’m also really interested in Graphene OS but I never pulled the trigger. Perhaps I need to buy some used pixel to try if all the things work which I need.

But those services detect that I have VPN on and force me to turn it off, otherwise they just exit.

So how do you deal with the fact that So many services on the phone tell you to turn off VPN to use them? I’m turning the VPN off and on several times a day on my phone and am always annoyed about it, because I need it on so I can get notifications and calls from my parents home network.

But every time I need to pay with Samsung Pay I have to turn it off, every time I want to log in to a government website I have to use this 2FA PASS app here in Korea and I have to turn the VPN off.

So often I forget to turn it on again, it’s so annoying, that this alone makes me want to put my stuff directly on the internet without a VPN and just keep stuff updated.

I installed Jellyfin on my Synology and it works very well for a bit and then it gets stuck and Synology stopps the Docker container and you need to start it again. So every time me and the wife sit down to watch a movie it doesn’t work, while when I test it then it works. I had to switch to rygel on my PC quickly so that we could watch the movie this day.

That sounds like a Passkey

Urgh, I use it at least 300 times a day.

AS a ex single lemmy user, yes. I use PieFed instead. Background: https://jeena.net/lemmy-switch-to-piefed

I have radicals already and use it for Task.com and also with symbolic links. Thanks, I’ll check it out.

That’s a interesting one, it’s quite different but looks very nice.

I’m not sure I understand, tried to google vikings but no Kanban or task management shows up.

I tried the demo but the UI is not really for mobile:

I always liked chai tea!

I don’t remember the details but there were several occasions

1. The sync UX was so confusing that I set it up and deleted things on a unimportant device to make some room and that deleted it everywhere without me realizing it for some time so I lost those things forever. This is where I switched file syning to Syncthing.
2. I ran it basically without apps only for syncing caldav and carddav and it took so many resources on my server that it constantly brought down the whole vhost with all other unrelated services and the UI was so slow I could only use it through the API from desktop and mobile clients. I then switched to the lightweight Radicals and deleted NextCloud which made space to many new services on the little Hetzner vhost.

I haven’t seen self hosting small instances prioritized by NextCloud, I think it probably works very well on a beefy server for a lot of users, similar to Lemmy, but for one user instances it seems to not be well supported.

Yeah it looks good from the screenshots but I’ve been burned by NextCloud in the past a lot and would like to avoid it.
