I switched to Obtainium some time back, and ended up uninstalling all F-droid clients altogether.

All of our data is backed up 2N+C - two NASes and an encrypted rclone in S3. This includes family videos, photos, and all "paper" records (Paperless-ngx for the win).

I've documented my homelab in Joplin, and stored all my homelab passwords (and Bitwarden password) in a Keypass database. Those files are stored on a USB stick in our household safe, along with a printed letter instructing my wife to pass everything on to one of my brothers.

The first half of my homelab manual details how to return our smart home to un-smart. The second half contains detailed technical data on how my entire home network hangs together.

I'm currently thinking about some sort of dead man's switch, where copies of the letter and files from the USB stick are auto-emailed to my wife and both my brothers in the event I don't check in for a period of time - say two weeks or so. That way, should the house burn down with only me in it, my wife will still be able to get to all of our records and memories.

We already have Taylor Swift, though?

Thankfully I only have them via Obtainium. Flip the "track only" option to on and wait and see. Like someone else said, I'm hopeful there'll be forks for these soon enough. I'm off to fork the repos for myself anyway, just in case.

Edit: for those that are self-hosting some form of git, is would be great if more people did this, for archival purposes. I've simply left the public fork of all 19 repos in my Github account, but have mirrored those to my private Forgejo instance.

At any point I can sync the GH forks then mirror those down to my local instance. Until the original repos get dismantled, of course.

Paging James Cameron...

I'm running a trio of Reolink RLC-820A cameras, over PoE. I'm recording with Frigate on a Raspberry Pi with a Google TPU USB.

Inferencing of detected objects is lightning fast, and reasonably accurate. I'm storing ~45 days of footage (motion detected - not 24x7 recording) on less than 2TB.

Bloody typical.

They take our money by offering features that don't meet advertised expectations.

And, yet, we'd be the ones labelled criminals for downloading via other means.

My biggest problem isn't discovering my own crime. It's trying to determine what my motive was at the time.

Yep - I have a list of a dozen or so that I donate to annually, so about one a month. Usually it's around 20 dollars (mine or theirs - depends on how they're setup to receive).

I use a Wemos D1 mini and relay with esphome, and a reed switch. Our door is a panel roller, so I'm looking to add a hall effect sensor to determine %age opened/closed, so I can do things like open just a couple of inches for airflow, etc.

I switched to AL from Nova years ago - the cover folders are absolutely one of its best features, followed by custom actions for various tap and swipe gestures.

It's no downside either. Generative AI can help speed up the creative or development process, if you take a little time to figure out how to use it.

I've used gen-AI to bootstrap Python projects in mere minutes, when it would've taken me much, much longer to re-remember all the Python I've forgotten, and debug my way through to the same result.
