But the TUI is simple. If people don’t know what they’re doing with the TUI, giving them colourful flashy buttons to click won’t help either. They should use Acronis or Macrium, then.

Yeah, what’s wrong with the original Clonezilla TUI?

If the container instructions say to set the TZ variable, this means that they bring all the necessary timezone information (for all timezones around the world) with them inside the container. For Alpine Linux, this would be the 1.5 MB (uncompressed) tzdata package.

If you are instructed to link to those files on the host system, the container usually doesn’t come with the tzdata package and the only way for it to use your timezone is to use the information from the host system by mounting the 2 files.

However, if you don’t mount these files, the container will usually run in UTC and won’t observe DST. So, all the times in log files and everything regarding time will be in UTC.

After using GitHub Pages (Jekyll) and some experiments with GRAV and Serendipity/S9Y, I’ve ended up with WordPress on SQLite for my blog as it provides everything a proper blog needs: RSS, comments, trackback/pingback, spam filter and ActivityPub/Fediverse integration.

But for a CMS without any social aspect I’d probably use GRAV and make it work somehow.

Anything supporting an SQLite database would technically be a “flat-file” CMS… just saying. ;)

And if you’re going to be the only content manager, why not go the SSG way with Hugo, Jekyll, etc.?

It says “Beta Feature” after all.

While it may work great, nothing beats using the manufacturer’s push notification channels in terms of reliability and battery consumption. At least from my experience. And that’s why Pushover is still kicking around after so many years…

I’m a lifetime Pushover user. As far as I can tell, ntfy isn’t using official push notifications whereas Pushover does. Also, ntfy has issues on iOS. That’s why I’m still running all my notifications via Pushover.

I’m using OwnTracks on the phone. No complaints at all.

I’m using Traccar for this.

I’m waiting for Actual to support multiple currencies. Until then, as an Apple user, I’m using iFinance which works on all my platforms.

traefik-kop which allows me to use Docker-Compose labels for Traefik even on my other Docker hosts without the need for Docker Swarm or K8s.

SHR is just bog-standard Linux mdraid and LVM. This should be mountable from almost any Linux. So, you could switch without reformatting.

You should be able to install e.g. OpenMediaVault to an extra disk (or USB drive) and it should detect your SHR (According to this).

OMV supports Docker containers so installing additional software should be easy.

Nah, youtube-dl supports a plethora of sites. And you can download from almost all of them without breaking any laws. Like kitchen knives have 100s of uses that are totally fine and don’t hurt anyone. I stand by my analogy.

To be fair, Eyeo/ABP deserved everything they had coming at them. They not only blocked ads, but there was code found to replace Amazon affiliate links with an affiliate id from them. (German report here - look for the part about typoRules.js.)

Even then, are shops selling kitchen knives (mind you, despite the name, youtube-dl can be used to download videos from various sources) held liable for people doing murders with them?

EDIT: On a sidenote, the Hamburg courts are renowned to know jack shit about technology and often produce rulings against any common sense.

It’s an SQLite database. Corruption is very unlikely. So, that’s not something I am worried about.

Are there any thoughts of implementing 24/7 GPS tracking support (e.g. being fed by OwnTracks) alongside the activities?

After trying several tools I now ended up with Traccar, but as that’s based on Java and more suited for fleet tracking, it’s not quite ideal.

I’ve recently introduced CrowdSec and crowdsec-bouncer-traefik-plugin into my setup and it’s really great to see it block all those spam bots and brute force attempts.

Some food for thought:

When I was looking to get my photos under control, in the end I decided to go all-in with Apple Photos. As I’m also using a Mac, the convenience can’t be beaten. Also, I can easily pull up any photo using Apple’s smart filters and can easily select photos from within apps without having to “share” them to the photos library first.

But this was only decided after I found out that Apple Photos keeps all photos in separate files in original quality and all metadata in a local SQLite database. Using the osxphotos tool, you can query this database and easily pull out any photo incl. metadata - even when running on other OSes, no need for Apple Photos. This also makes it easy to move everything to another system, if needed.

I’ve set my Mac to always keep original copies on disk and run a backup to my NAS every night. (Using CCC at the moment, but looking to switch to restic.) This way, all my photos are always off-site in iCloud, on my Mac and on my NAS.

You’d just need a tool to upload your Android photos to iCloud. From a quick search it seems Sync for iCloud might do the trick - albeit manually … if I read the reviews correctly.
