No harm in giving it a try, but I personally wouldn’t bother with a selfhosted solution for it. Especially if you’re not sure it will work out.

Well, paint me green and call me a pickle. More power to you if it works. 😊

Tangent, unsolicited:

Music lessons over video call, that has to be a real pain. I can’t find it now, but there’s an Adam Neely video where he talks about why online recording sessions can’t work, as transmission latency works against the immediacy needed to play music together. He said it better than I can.

Except if your idea is to play in turns, but then capturing the thing you want to show… Can’t you find another teacher closer to you?

Installing the Jellyfin add on into kodi takes a few minutes. Nothing much to consider, just try it and see if that changes anything.

I have a similar setup (rpi with OSMC, media hosted on file server) and prefer using Jellyfin as the source for all clients, as it keeps track of watched status across everything. It’s not perfect, but better than without Jellyfin.

Anyone remember the Darknet Diaries episodes about a bunch of white hats from the Netherlands who managed to guess Trump’s Twitter password twice? I think this was after he started campaigning for what would be his presidency, and then again a few years later.

Here’s the first of the two episodes: Darknet Diaries: 87: Guild of the Grumpy Old Hackers mp3

According to Varoufakis, Europe missed the bus on cloud capital (=big cloud platforms like amazon, meta, twitter,…) and the race is currently playing out between US and China.

It’s going to be powerful by every imperial, too.

Oh boy, 2017 can’t come soon enough!

This file compresses so well. 🤏

Terrible opsec sharing your WiFi SSID, by the way. I can’t find one right now, but I’ve seen global “wardriving” maps of all broadcast WiFi SSIDs that allow to pinpoint a somewhat unique SSID or at least narrow down to a few options. A list of SSIDs around you pretty much gives away your precise location.

Had similar behaviour last night. Turned out UnboundDNS had crashed in my opnsense firewall and took “internet connectivity” with it. Restarting the service fixed it in one click after I found it.

Highly recommend cupping your favourite coffee with different kinds of water (e.g. tap, mineral, DIY water see below). It’s pretty eye opening.

Here’s how to make your own, if you’re motivated to try: https://www.baristahustle.com/diy-water-recipes-the-world-in-two-bottles/

What is this doing in Technology?!

How much is one street cred in channel points?

It’s not my Github, but I think you’d do something like print and store in a safe place your trusted party has access to. My SO has my Keepass password stored in their password safe and theoretically knows (and hopefully will recall when the need arises) how to find my Keepass file, for example.

In short, it’s trust. And then there’s the fact that they would never voluntarily touch this stuff anyway. 😅

Not about design patterns, but about making preparations: https://github.com/potatoqualitee/eol-dr

Grindr faces massive fine for “allegedly” “sharing” “sensitive” “user” “data”.

Haven’t seen your laptop, but if it’s anything like mine it’s a very lousy boat.

Gimp believes in you and loves you in a non clingy way.

Gimp might be able to perform that little logo-transformation favour for you libre of charge, but at least give it a call after for heaven’s sake.
