I have a disk for local backups (that is the only purpose of that disk). I was wondering what would make it last longer:

- Keep it mounted to my server permanently (current solution)
- Keep it unmounted most of the time, mount it when I'm going to do a backup (either daily or every 3 days, I don't mind changing that) and unmounting after the backup is done.

What would be the best strategy?

Do you use your right shift key? Have you re-mapped it into another key/function? which one? by alvaro in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

@SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world ha! I have my caps lock as a ctrl key (easier for vim acrobatics)

@ptz@dubvee.org Interesting, I just realized I use my left pinky for the left shift while pressing the Z with my middle left finger :-P

Is there a better ways to import Flac albums from bandcamp to a navidrome or jellyfin instance? I'm downloading and rsync'ing like a caveman and I suspect someone already solved this issue (social.graves.cl)

[question] Alt-text service, self hosted

Is there a service that I could plug into my misskey/firefish/whatev that provides an alt-text for an image I'm posting. I don't post images that often, so the few times, it would be nice to have an automatic OCR or LLM/Stable Diffusion description of a picture attached to it.

Of course, without depending on Google or similars.

Any ideas? cc @selfhost@lemmy.ml @selfhosted@lemmy.world

What's the best way to read a book in a dark room? by alvaro in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[-] alvaro@social.graves.cl 3 points 10 months ago

@sonovebitch@lemmy.world Forgot to mention: some have 2 different types of light, a blue one and a warmer, yellow-ish one. Turn off the former, leave the other and turn the e-ink with a black background and white letter.

I was wondering if someone has done something similar:

I want to detect if one of the kitchen burners have been running for a long time. Gas sensors won't work because the fires are running.

I was thinking that a solution could be to have a wifi-enabled thermostat that sends the temperature to home assistant and if it is above > X for Y minutes, send an alarm/email/notification. The sensor could be hidden below the burners and connected via a cable to measure the temperature.

Does this make sense? Does anybody have some idea how to implement this (maybe using a ESP8266)?

Is there other alternative?

I know nothing of mechanical keyboards, but I have always found cool the Corne ish Zen[1]. However, I don't work alone so I would like something as silent as possible. I have an old Macally keyboard[2] that I know is silent enough. Is it possible to find a keyboard like the Corne but silent as a regular BT keyboard? Would you recommend one, or it is not actually possible?

@ZeroDrek@lemmy.world I got one and it broke (in a hotel so idk if it was the cleaning lady or what). the cost of repair though was close to buying a new one, so (stubbornly) I did. I've been trying to be super careful, but I'm not buying a 3rd device from the same company.

Look at their subreddit, there are tons of horror stories.

Currently I have a Boox e-ink reader, but I learned that they don't last that much and their post-sale support is the worst. I see that this device will fail in the next 6-12 months, what e-ink readers (that it is NOT A KINDLE) would you recommend? I'm interested on reading both .epub and whatever is the current kindle app format, along with PDFs, being able to add notes is not super critical.

recommendations?

I would like to have a mechanism to set up a server automagically…

Similarly I would like to set up my user account settings (Tmux plugins, .zshrc and vim settings, etc) that I can replicate in multiple machines via a script (I have a custom script for this but I want a more solid alternative)

Thoughts on what infra-as-code solution would work best? Any similar experiences or use cases with one Thanks!
