Been having a hard time watching anime lately, I used to watch a lot but now everything looks and feels the same. But nothing is like Nichijou so I’m guessing City will be just what I’m looking for!

For those that have a ultrawide screen connected to the PC and are having trouble getting the resolution right on your client, I recommend this little piece of code (only for Windows): ResolutionAutomation
It will automatically switch the screen resolution on your PC to match that of the Moonlight client and then revert back when the client disconnects, thus saving you some headaches :)

Self hosting is of course not for everyone (even though it’s super fun haha), but I think everyone who is already self hosting other stuff should try SearXNG.

Comment on What have you spent "too much time" trying to fix or streamline? in ~talk
evacuee4178 (edited )Link ParentYou should look into Servarr , more specifically Radarr for movies and Sonarr for shows. They’re great tools for organizing media files and have become invaluable in my media stack. -
Comment on In praise of Arcane season 2 in ~tv
evacuee4178 LinkAbsolutely loving it and I am very impressed with the rich world that Riot has managed to create. Great animation, great characters, great story. Without a doubt one of the better shows out right now.Absolutely loving it and I am very impressed with the rich world that Riot has managed to create.

I use Healthchecks.io to monitor my backup jobs, you can self-host (which I do) or you can use the service hosted by them (you get to monitor 20 jobs for free).
What you do is you set up a scheduled check with a specific interval, and if the check isn’t pinged (with something like curl or python, etc…) in the given interval it will be marked as failed and will trigger a notification to a wide variety of services (webhooks, smtp, ntfy, etc…). If your job returns an exit code upon completion you can also send that to healthchecks so if the job ran but failed you will be alerted. Signaling failures
I use it with ntfy (I self-host but one doesn’t have to) to get a notification on my phone.
Hope you find something that fits your needs!

Comment on Passwords have problems, but passkeys have more in ~tech

There are other solutions though, like Bitwarden, that lets you store and use your passkeys on any device.
I also recently saw that the FIDO alliance are making a standard that aims to make it easy for passkeys to be moved between platforms. FIDO Alliance Publishes New Specifications to Promote User Choice and Enhanced UX for Passkeys

I run quite a few applications at home in my quest to de-cloud my life and Immich is my favorite app next to Jellyfin and Bitwarden.
It’s quite easy to set up and their documentation is great. It’s still in beta so they don’t recommend you to solely rely on it but I’ve never had any trouble, and I take regular backups in case anything would go wrong.
What I am missing is more functionality in the mobile app (iPhone) as well as the mobile app being able to properly display HDR media. But besides that it has the functionality I want in a photo app (face recognition, tagging, geolocation, etc…)
I might try Ente out just to see how it compares to Immich but doubt I’ll switch to it. I’ve grown so attached to the Immich project and it’s devs :)

I think they handled Wolverine pretty well in D&W, seeing as the ending in Logan was pretty final I think they can make this work as well.

I used to make AMVs (Anime Music Videos) when I was younger and I’m proud of my 16 year old self for making a video that now has almost five million views on YouTube. It’s not really my favorite of the ones I made but makes me happy that so many people enjoyed it.
