Goofed Home

Got this really weird issue. I just binged through the Psych series and movies and now I’m watching the Scrubs series on my Plex server hosted in a docker container on my Linux server with a DAS.

I had zero issues except some minor buffering on start of each episode when watching Psych.

But on Scrubs, I don’t have any buffering issues. But I have a weird issue where if I pause the video, the video unpauses itself after a few moments. If I pause it again, it does the same thing. To truly pause, I have to exit out of the episode and click back in to continue watching again.

I’m watching on an Apple TV 4K mostly where this happens.

I’ve had this server for years and never had any issues like this. I was watching Scrubs years ago but don’t remember this happening then either. I’m not sure what happened for this to suddenly happen. I’ve googled and found other people experiencing this issue, but nothing seems to be a solution or matches what I’m dealing with here.

Any ideas?

Hi! I am running Umbrel on a Raspberry Pi 4 and I have “Home Assistant” installed in it, I oly have some smart lights connected to it. I would like to integrate a Thermostat with HA. But I am a bit overwhelmed with the different types of connections (Z-wave, Zigbee, Wifi, …)

Do you guys have any kind of recommendation, what connection is better? I would like to keep it local (or connecting remotely via Tailscale) but I would like to avoid any cloud or third-party server solution.

What thermostat hardware can I buy?

Finally I am buying a Meross MTS215BMA with Matter. But what I don’t know is if I will need any antena for Threads to connect to my RPi with home assistant? or maybe this thermostat works with Matter over wifi. Do you guys think if I go with smart devices connected via Matter (I have seen most Ikea smart home devices support it), do I need a Threads hub/antena? If so, any recomendation?

That thermostat should work over WiFi and not use Thread so as long as your network supports Matter, you should be good. If it doesn’t support Matter, you can use the meross_lan integration.

What server do you host your content on?

Hi all, The other day, I posted here asking about recommendations on audiobooks servers and clients for iOS, and I got so many nice and very helpful responses from you all. I really, really appreciated the sense of community and help that you all showed me. Some of you mentioned Android clients and I checked them out since I do have an Android phone and the iOS one was for my wife. I appreciated the two Android clients I saw, the official ABS and Lissen but they weren’t what I was looking for (with the utmost respect to their developers of course).

A kind soul here recommended the app Still for iOS. I checked it out and it was such a nice app. The wife loved it too. I was bummed that it was iOS only. So, I decided to make one for Android (with the help of my butt for transparency of course). I’ve been working on it nonstop for over 2 weeks now. When I say nonstop, I mean I stay up until 1AM daily working on it. I’ve got something working really well now.

I wanted to share that with you all in the hope that someone will find it useful. It’s completely free and open source (GPLv3). Completely private. Nothing leaves your device beside the calls the app makes to your own server. I won’t ask for donations or anything. I just want to share. I welcome any feedback and contributions.

Get it here and let me know.

Please do it, there is a big part of the foss community that only install apps from fdroid, including me.

Request has already been submitted to their gitlab page :)

Figured I’d give Netbird a go, glad I did because I can self host extremely easily by using the new services feature.

You specify a subdomain, point to a peer, specify a protocol and port, and you are good. NetBird fetches you the certificate and your site goes live fast.

I can use my Immich with my mobile data now.

I don’t think so in your case. From their docs these features are only available for self hosted instances, so you’d have to host Traefik instead of Nginx and end up with a similar config as your current one.

If you wanted to hide your home IP you could either use something like Defelct or Cloudflare as a reverse proxy, or host your own reverse proxy on a cloud provider (either Nginx like you currently are, or Netbird’s reverse proxy UI) and proxy it back to your local server over something like Netbird/Tailscale.

DDOS/Scraping protection would depend on the method you choose.

There is an alternative unofficial app available on F-Droid called JetBird.
It is as valid as the official one.

To reduce battery usage, you may want to try Netbird’s Lazy Connections feature.

I just want to seed torrents. I am not planning to run plex or anything like that. I would like a budget friendly one around $5 to $7.

I’d do as @tal@lemmy.today advised.

I’m suggesting something orthogonal: I’m suggesting specifically rTorrent hosting.

Apparently rTorrent provides the maximum GB served per unit of CPU used, & since seedbox hosting is on such pathetic virtual-machines, this can matter.

Voiden is an offline-first, git-native API tool built on Markdown - and it very intentionally didn’t start as “let’s build a better Postman”.

Over time, API tooling became heavyweight: cloud dependencies for local work, forced accounts, proprietary formats, and workflows that break the moment you’re offline. Testing a localhost API shouldn’t need an internet connection.

So we asked a simple question: What if an API tool respected how developers already work?

That led to a few core ideas:

• Offline-first, no accounts, no telemetry

• Git as the source of truth

• Specs, tests, and docs living together in Markdown

We opensourced Voiden because extensibility without openness just shifts the bottleneck.

If workflows should be transparent, the tool should be too.

Gave it a quick shot right now, and gonna be honest - while the premise seems nice, the sample project is very transparently my butt slop generated with a prompt that, I can only assume, included an instruction like “for every sentence that doesn’t include a whimsical quip, I’m gonna kill a kitten”. It is absolutely grating to read. I don’t care if you do that in your marketing copy, but keep that shit out of technical documentation, it’s annoying, it’s distracting, and it’s turning me off the entire project. Like wtf is this: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/f1c92e04-1353-4b1c-a8cd-85c75ce4e505.png

we are indeed looking at the docs again. To begin with we focused on the tool itself so some of the examples that you see can indeed be worth revisiting and re writing. :) But I hope you can focus and zoom in to the tool itself and see how this can help you with your API workflows.

maintenant looks interesting 🤔

Zero-config auto-discovery for Docker and Kubernetes. Every container is tracked the moment it starts — state changes, health checks, restart loops, log streaming with stdout/stderr demux. Compose projects are auto-grouped. Kubernetes workloads (Deployments, DaemonSets, StatefulSets) are first-class citizens.

config based on labels. sounds good for a moving selfhosting world…

It even includes the update from cosmos-server now (although there’ve been some bugfixes since 0.21.0) 😀
