This is the sole reason why I self-host some things, I want to be independent.

And to save the hassle of finding the exact same one each time, I will spin up my own personal solution and build up the recipes I use myself.
And then there are those 200+ recipes my wife has in paper form...

I would like to make our recipes digital and on top of that, why not run a service like Mealie when I have to write them all down anyway. It could have photos attached, easy sharing (even with "outside" world), easy editting, easy search... And the shopping list and "what can I do with these ingredients" is just the topping on the cake.

In the meantime I went on Mealie website and started going through the docs and it seems they have it all-in-one now and you just select which way you want to go (Postgres here). If I understand that correctly, this will start Postgres and Mealie containers at once and all the work will likely be done automatically. I will try and start it up in upcoming hours, as I still have something else to do.
Thank you for your reply. I will come back to it if the process isn't as automatic as I hope.

It isn't for me though, I want to use it in the family, so ease of use is of utmost importance, this is why I'm going the server route and others will just use it, not manage it.
Your reply might come handy to some more technical people out there though, so thanks for replying!

I have technical question: When I use docker for it to run, how do I set up postgres? Do J have to set it up myself or is it part of docker container or do I have to choose when first starting it up? I would love to use this option.
And just to add to the first thing you quoted: According to @shiruken, you can search recipe based on what ingredients you have at hand (in case you haven't looked at other replies).
Once again, thank you for your reply!

Hello,
I'm into self-hosting and when my daughter (elementary school) started writing her own recipe book, I kinda went "She is young, she shouldn't be doing this in paper form" and I started looking around for a solution for kinda non-existing problem.
I stumbled upon Mealie, which is server that can be used in docker and is self-hosted recipe book/website. It seems like you can come in and say like "I have these ingrediants, what can I do?", it also seems to be able to generate shopping lists based on your selected recipe, you can use checkboxes when bringing all the ingredients on the kitchen board/table/top (non-English native speaker here) and so on.
It seems like the right software for me, but before I delve into it, I wanted to ask if someone else possibly runs such service for themselves at their home. Is there somebody who is using something like this? It doesn't have to be Mealie, specifically. But it should be server-side service, not some smartphone app. I know there are other such services, which are also open-source, but I forgot the names, sorry.
Thanks for any relevant answers!

To this day I haven't experienced better story.
Spoilers
When you climb moubt Gagazet before Zanarkand and you learn that the main character is a dream and will vanish once the Sin is defeated... Basically trading his "existence" for eternal peace while leaving Yuna alive but without the one she loves.And then after defeating Sin he actually leaves. There is this charm to endings like that - you expect some miracke to apper but it is nowhere to be found. Ghe story really wraps up on this very very sad note.
And if this wasn't enough, the continuation of outro start by fading-in while Yuna whistles. Tidus told her to whistle and he will come running. And she wistles again and again and nothing happens... If you weren't crying already, you are now.
And the the famous Yuna speech at the blitzball stadium. "The friends we have lost, and the dreams that have faded... Never forget them." And I know I never will. This is such sad and such emotional ending!
Phew, time to move on.
I remember when I first defeated Diablo. My mom helped me in one of tbe last levels where I had to step around the corner to get bombarded by blood wings (or what the name was). I needed my mom to administer drinking mana potion while I killed them. And Diablo was actually quite easy. I have never finished the game again.
I also remember meeting the tank for the first time in Jagged Alliance 2. I couldn't believe there are actual tanks in the game!
I also remember playing the Hidden & Dangerous 2 on hardest difficulty and lone wolf at once. The fourth mission where you bave to get to the enemy submarine... I had to replay it again and again and again (they shot me at the submarine many many times) - I simply knew where and when will each enemy show up and how to deal with them. While going very slow for the first time, I simply went through the whole map in five minutes when I finally finished this mission.
I ahve very fond memories of Earth 2140 multiplayer over serial cable. We enjoyed the game with my friend a lot back in the days and played coop multiplayer only to desync in very late stage in the game and then wiping each others base and then watching it still standing on the other PC. Tbis happened every single time and we had so much fun doing it.
I also remember how I played Baldur's Gate and got to the final battle. It was hard to get there. But it was even harder to admit to myself that I cannot win it with the party I had. I have never finished the game (yet). It's stranve to say, but Baldur's Gate 2 was much easier, including final battle, which was kinda joke, to be honest. Well there is around 15-20 years in between those two battles. I will return to BG1 and I will emerge victorious! One day...

It's the first time I see some of the DLCs.
The game still has it. It is fun and it is funny. I love the RPG meets FPS mechanics of the game, I love the art style and I love that it makes jokes even about itself. They made it so much iver the top.
I suppose everyone here knows about Borderlands games, thus I'm not going into much detail. If you want to know something, just ask.
Currently I'm around 80 hours in with one major DLC remaining and sone minor not done. I have ayed using one character so far. If you wanted to get everything from this game, it could possibky become 1000 hours game (multiple characters + True and Ultra Vault Hunter modes on each of them).

Comment on BeagleBadge by BeagleBoard in ~comp
Pavouk106 Link ParentWell, that is quite well priced in my opinion. The hardware combined on it would likely be priced at at least double if you were to get it separately.Well, that is quite well priced in my opinion.

This could be problem with Mint or with Cinnamon or both or neither. This is the thing with Linux - it might just work or it may not no matter what you try.
But I'd say there is (almost) always some solution and you found one for your problem. It may have been a bit drastic, but it works.
Myself, I use MATE. I used Gentoo for a looong time and switched to Arch recently. Those are quite knowledge-requirements heavy distros but they do give back. But I stumbled upon some things that worked great on Gentoo but doesn't work on Arch that well. And there are things that work better on Arch...
It's like neverending cycle :-)

Comment on Railway solar project turns unused track space into energy in ~enviro

Why do people make it hard when there is so much space available to put panels? Why on roads, walkways or freakin' railways? Put them over open parking lots, FFS! People will get cooler cars and the panels will live there happily ever after without any hardly any maintenance needed!
Wait, I know why people make it hard. They get all the money from all those who junp on it and after a few years they just say the project didn't go as planned while keeping the money.
EDIT: If you don't want to watch videos - there are vibrations on the rail tracks anfd guess what solar panel doesn't like? What about clening them? It is quite dirty on the tracks. What about changing faulty panels? You would have to stop everything on the track to exchange it.
In videos Dave points out there are roofs in the vicinity that could be used for solar panels, no special technology or maintenance required and possibly better angle against the sun as well. Even railway stations have roofs and could have pabels on them! And then there are those parking lits which should be the first to get solar panel covers. It would be cheaper, cover bigger area (thus higher power) and serve another point (shade for cars). We don't have to build solar roads and other nonsense, we could use technology of today on buildings already constructed for cheaper and higher power output.

I'm 1986, I don't know how that is classified. One way of describing can be Maverick or Top Gun :-D And I kinda seem a bit like Maverick as I tend to do things my way and go against the trend, at least in my friend circle.
I also don't plan to use all the features like "I have these, what can I make?", but it can be good for searching like "I know it has curry and cream in it, what was that called?"
I also like analogue solutions. I still drive my two stroke 50+ years motorcycle, it is easy to ride, easy to repair and it just gets the job done. But I would also take EV for a spin if I had enough (spare) money to afford one, as I see what advantages it has and it would be well suited for our family usecase.
Daughter can still handwrite her own recipe book, but I plan to support my server as long as would be possible and in the end you can always print everything (I have printer, which is not that common nowadays, I guess; I also have Blu ray drive, which is probably even less common).
The electronic recipe book, I'm speaking about Mealie specifically now, also allows me to share the recipe with anyone. You probably was in a situation like "I really love this meal you brought here, do you know the recipe for it?" - in that case, I can generate a link to the recipe on my own server sitting at home and they will get it served on a nice webpage from where they can (probably) print it out in useful form. Or read it from smartphone while cooking it.
And it is digitalized, which is always a great thing, as you can easily make copies or backups.
But I still love to have a book in my hands, have my movies on physical discs (I own them, but actually rip them and watch from Jellyfin media server), play games on dedicated handhelds instead of smartphone, solve sudoku in paper form etc. But I also tend to use modern things for some of that (ie. e-book reader, which is just more convenient than book).
