Same story here. I’ll never understand why they canned Inbox when it was clearly superior to vanilla Gmail.

that’s actually really good - thanks!

Shiny is pretty good. You can do interactive sliders to filter date ranges in that, and you control what happens when you slide it in the code. It’s not as slick as grafana though.

One downside is it started off as an R package then got ported to python, so most resources are for R. Fine for me because I know R, but most people don’t.

Here’s the python link: https://shiny.rstudio.com/py/

that’s a really cool idea. would love to see the next version be bigger and longer, though it probably doesn’t scale well with the requirement to manually verify that the calculations have been performed by hand.

Yep, spent far too long this morning looking all the still existing Roman roads up on OSM and following them along going “wow look how straight it is!”

Ever since the CS1.6 days I wanted to have a server, but it was only when I got a free Raspberry Pi that I actually started self hosting stuff 24/7. I put OwnCloud on it and a bunch of scripts to track and statistically evaluate my investments, and just took off from there. Like many others, my desire to disconnect and reduce my dependency on “Big Tech” was a big motivator, but so too was “fun” and having things exactly the way I liked.

In the beginning I rolled my own scripts most of the time, but now I tend to use more off the shelf tools as self hosting has gone more and more “mainstream”/accessible and docker has become ubiquitous.

I still do my own scripts tbf, like my DIY smart thermostat/heat pump controller. Ultimately it’s just a lot of fun.

Why is unattended upgrades frowned upon? Seems like I good idea all round to me?

I don’t use Chrome but Firefox, and PWAs are just really inconsistent. I think it’s probably an Android/OS/home screen thing rather than Chrome specifically.

For walking nothing beats OpenStreetMap. Absolutely destroys Google maps as it knows all the footpaths and what is and isn’t walkable.

For driving I’m stuck with Google due to Android Auto.

For finding businesses etc Here is the best alternative but frankly Google is in a different league in this regard, nothing beats it.

Yeah, I’d search github for django implementations as you might have better luck searching something more specific.

Not OP but that’s really useful to know!

Yeah, it’s great. And even with the UK subs on other instances, i can still subscribe to them via the magic of federation!

The only thing is a lot of the communities have lots of subscribers but no posts. I do hope the creators of those communities aren’t just squatting…

I think if local people could benefit from the cheap power the wind turbines generate there’d be far less opposition. Either give locals a discount on their bills, or give them a small shareholding in the company that sells the power to the grid. You’d have people begging for wind farms!

Yet another thing she’s wrong about

This is the closest I’ve got to that feeling, yeah. Only difference is now I’m not a teenager and not that bothered about your asl.

Cheers, that’s not so bad - might give it a shot!

Agreed, I’ve run into lots of problems trying to get reverse proxies set up on paths, which disappear if you use a subdomain. For that reason I stick with subdomains and a wildcard DNS entry.

Monica (personal relationship manage… kinda unused because I’m always too lazy to fill it with data)

I need a personal relationship manager manager to manage my personal relationship manager.

What’s the performance of Frigate like on an N5095? I’ve got a J5105 that I’m tempted to use for a few of my cameras, but worried I’ll be wasting my time.

The potatoes must be very small indeed, can barely see them!

Very nice looking job. Nothing more satisfying than solving a problem that both you and your wife have!
