This might be a bit overkill for what you want but you could try using a selfhosted music server like navidrome and streaming to your phone. I use symfonium on on phone which can be configured to request the streamed music to be transcoded to a smaller size for streaming from mobile network or for caching it on your phones storage for offline listening.

Given that symfonium supports a lot of self hosted media providers from which to pull, you could also try sharing your music locally using samba. I'm not sure if the transcoding still works in that case though (it would obviously have to be done on your phone)

Works great for me on my pixel 7 but you have to be aware that you loose some stuff too unfortunately.

Not all banking apps work and payment using your phone is completely out.

If you care about it, the health stuff also isn't available

Maybe you could configure KRunner to work for what you want? I'm not sure though. Haven't used it enough myself

I miss the bluetooth option for sharing files :(

It's rare that I actually want to use it and it was never anywhere near fast but it was a nice thing to have in my opinion and I am disappointed that it was removed

Edit: Nevermind, it's still there. Maybe I was blind the last couple of times I looked for it

Also you don't download the youtube app in the usual sense but rather a patcher application

[–] Scrath 9 points 2 weeks ago

Yes but do they present a stripped copy or strip it from the original?

[–] Scrath 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I guess that might work. I'll have to try it on monday though it's probably more effort this way compared to just doing it manually since the snippets I have to add currently are mostly single functions with less than 20 lines

Unfortunately not because the word document is meant to be the "master" document. We aren't even supposed to export PDF versions because in the future people may see the PDF in the folder and use that as a reference instead of the main word document even though the word doc was updated and the PDF wasn't. Also I tried pandoc md conversion to docx in the past for another document and it didn't go very well. The formatting of the headers was all over the place which made it impossible to generate the Table of Contents in word

I'm not very well informed on the specifics of the DLNA standard or how it is differentiated from UPnP so take what I say here with a grain of salt. My understanding is that there are 3 device types in DLNA

  • A server which provides media
  • A client which can pull media from the server
  • A renderer which can play back media from the client

I'm not sure if the server is necessary stricly speaking or if my device is using the underlying UPnP stuff but I can use Macast, which is a DLNA renderer, on my desktop computer and then select it as a playback device in Symfonium on my android phone where it shows up as a UPnP device.

That might work. I'll have to check it out. Thanks

I've used macast in the past on my desktop where it worked perfectly. Unfortunately I could not find a fitting docker image for it. There is this one but it has literally no information and only 70 image pulls. Then there is a dockerfile in the Macast github repo but considering I don't see a docker image mentioned anywhere in the documentation so I guess that one is only for building the application. I believe Macast is a GUI application anyway so I'm not sure how good it would work on a headless server.

I was under the impression that minidlna is exclusively a DLNA server and not a renderer. Is that wrong?

 

Hello everyone, I am currently looking for a software solution to use my home server as a DLNA renderer which can output audio to my stereo amplifier.

The only solution I found was called gmrender-resurrect which seems like it would do exactly what I want but I was unable to get a docker container of it working. While I was able to find and connect to the DLNA Renderer, playback would fail every time and I was unable to get any information from the logs regarding why.

Do any of you know another solution to stream audio from my phone to my server (I am using Symfonium on the phone side)? Ideally it would be something I can deploy as a docker container on my server.

Thanks.

 

Hello everyone, I am currently trying to set up a kmonad config file to replace the autohotkey script I used on windows. My goal is simply to use the right alt key in combination with a,o,u and so on to type german umlaut characters like ä,ö,ü, etc.

So far I am having trouble even getting kmonad to run the config. I guess I probably misunderstand how this is supposed to work significantly. My initial config file was generated by ChatGPT since I had no idea where to even start.

This is my current config file

(defcfg
  input  (device-file "/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd")
  output (uinput-sink "kmonad_keyboard")
  fallthrough true
  allow-cmd true
)

(defsrc
  ralt a o u s lsft
)

(deflayer german
  ralt-a "ä"
  ralt-o "ö"
  ralt-u "ü"
  ralt-s "ß"
  ralt-shift-a "Ä"
  ralt-shift-o "Ö"
  ralt-shift-u "Ü"
)

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello everyone, I recently built a small distribution board to distribute 5V to multiple components for use in a robotics project. I made each output switchable with an individual switch and an LED to indicate the current state. When I went to test it using a lab power supply I noticed that the LEDs would start flickering weirdly when I turned them off and on again.

As it turns out, the LEDs, which I found in my dads old parts in a bag labeled TLBO 5410, are apparently blinking LEDs. I found a datasheet for TLBR5410 LEDs which seem pretty much identical to what I have accidentally used.

Apparently these LEDs are made to operate directly from a 5V supply without an additional current limiting resistor (it is already built in) and are made to continuously blink at a frequency of 3Hz.

Because I thought I was using standard LEDs I added a series resistor causing them to behave weirdly due to low voltage. For comparison, this is how they are supposed to act: https://imgur.com/a/fXlcEDs

My current collection (self.fountainpens)
 

From left to right:

  • TWSBI Diamond Mini Classic 1.1mm stub nib
  • Pelikan 140 M(?) nib
  • Unknown Kondor pen
  • Lamy CP1 F nib
  • Lamy joy 1.5mm stub nib

The TWSBI is the only pen in this collection that I actually bought. The rest came into my possession through family and as such are mostly older pens.

The Pelikan 140 is by far the oldest and my current favorite alongside the TWSBI. From what I've been able to find, this one was manufactured somewhere between 1955-1963. It is also the only pen in my collection with an actual gold nib.

The Kondor, just like the TWSBI and Pelikan is a piston filler and has a in my opinion strangely shaped nib. It is slightly scratchy unfortunately.

The Lamy CP1 is the pen that I used the longest out of all of these and was my daily driver during my later school years. Back then I had an M nib on it which I later switched for an F. Despite it being a beatufil sleek pen, I rarely use it anymore since the grip section tends to accumulate some ink near the front. This combined with my very close grib means that I always get ink on my fingers when writing with it. I am not sure if this is a defect of my specific pen or is something that has been fixed in newer models as this pen is apparently also quite old, based on the "Made in W. Germany" inscription under the clip. This pen also tends to be kind of unwieldy when used with the cap posted, as the cap is made of a much heavier metal than the rest of the pen, making it unbalanced.

The Lamy joy is a pen I briefly tried but found to have a much too thick nib for my daily use. Compared to the TWSBI it is also kind of scratchy.

 

Hello everyone, I have another question regarding reverse-proxying again, specifically for the linuxserver.io jellyfin image.

On the dockerhub page for this image there are 4 ports listed which should be exposed:

  • 8096 for the HTTP Web UI
  • 8920 for the HTTPS Web UI
  • 7359/udp for autodiscovery of jellyfin from clients
  • 1900/udp for service discovery from DLNA and clients

Additionally there is also an environment variable JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl which is for "Setting the autodiscovery response domain or IP address". I currently have that set to my subdomain https://jellyfin.mydomain.com though I am not sure if that is correct.

I already have a reverse-proxy set up allowing me to access my servers webinterface under https://jellyfin.mydomain.com without exposing the https port on the container. What I am unsure about now however, is what to do with the two ports for UDP traffic.

By my understanding, a reverse-proxy will only forward traffic which comes to the ports 80 for http and 443 for https. Those are also the only ports my reverse-proxy container has exposed alongside the management interface. As such the 2 udp ports will not be reachable under my jellyfin domain.

How can I change this or is this even an issue?

Hello, I have a question regarding the usage of a reverse-proxy which is part of a docker network.

I currently use Nginx Proxy Manager as a reverse-proxy for all my services hosted in docker. This works great since I can simply forward using each containers name. I have some services however (e.g. homeassistant) which are hosted separately in a VM or using docker on another device.

Is it possible to use the same reverse-proxy for those services as well? I haven't found a way to forward to hosts outside of the proxies docker network (except for using the host network setting which I would like to avoid)
