Hey all,

I'm de-googling, and while OctoApp (to control OctoPrint) is open source (https://gitlab.com/realoctoapp/octoapp), there are no APKs in the releases like the README says. I can't report this as an issue because that's turned off on GutLab, so does anyone know of any other way it is distributed outside of thr Play Store?

Thanks.

Hi all,

Working through some things like a Will (I am fine, just normal life planning), and debating on methods for digital management when I do die.

I run a lot of self-hosted services for family and friends, all on secured servers with ZFS and on/off site backups. Key ingredient is Vaultwarden for password management.

I'd like to put something in place so that encryption keys, some docs, and key passwords are released to a tech savvy friend. Anyone know of existing solutions for this?

Requirements of:

• Not providing keys to a third-party beforehand
• Not forgeable to open
• If possible, no "weekly press a button"

I'm thinking some kind of key pair where my friend has the private key and the public key is provided to a family member, and when activated a timer starts where I could cancel the release.

Hi all,

About to go full no-Google, but am missing one app alternative. This is URL Forwarder: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.daverix.urlforward

It allows users to share to it like a bookmarklet. Anyone know of something else that does this?

An example use case would be browsing in your Lemmy app and sharing the post URL to another webpage.

So I haven't run a custom ROM for a long time and I'm thinking of trying out GrapheneOS. Before I do, is there a modern way to take a full disk image of a stock Pixel 8? The intent would be to factory restore to where I am in this moment if need be.

I use Ollama with continue.dev in code-server, and I wanted a way to hit Cntrl-Shift-Alt-T to get a "top" of sorts that would show CPU, IO, GPU, loaded models, and logs, all in one place quickly.

Set up the below screenrc file and created the shortcut above in Debian. Tab switches between CPU and IO, and Cntrl-a q quits all screens and closes the Gnome shell.

Screenrc:

termcapinfo xterm* ti@:te@
startup_message off
defscrollback 10000

bind q eval "kill" "quit"
caption always "%{= rw}%-w%{= KW}%n %t%{-}%+w"
defbce on

# Start htop and focus
screen -t "HTop" htop
focus

# Split horizontally to put nvtop under htop
split
focus
screen -t "NVTop" nvtop

# Split vertically to put ollama next to nvtop
split -v
focus
screen -t "Ollama PS" watch -n5 'docker exec -ti ai-ollama ollama ps'

# Split horizontally to put logs underneath ps
split
focus
screen -t "Ollama logs" bash -c "docker logs -f --tail 100 ai-ollama | grep -Ev '\"/api/ps\"|\"/\"'"

# Resize PS, then get back to logs
focus up
resize -v 6
focus down

# Get back to htop
focus

The atop script that runs with Cntrl-Alt-Shift-T:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

if [ "${1}" = "new" ]; then
    gnome-terminal --geometry=200x50+0+0 --maximize -- /data/system/bin/atop
else
    screen -c /data/system/setup/common/screenrc-status
fi

Happy to share my htop config as well if anyone wants it.

Hey all,

Anyone familiar with the state of Raptor Lake performance + efficiency cores in Linux? I'm specifically curious about how the kernel balances things when running multiple containers (without pinned CPUs)

Thanks!

Trying to figure out if there is a way to do this without zfs sending a ton of data. I have:

• s/test1, inside it are folders:
  • folder1
  • folder2

I have this pool backed up remotely by sending snapshots.

I'd like to split this up into:

• s/test1, inside is folder:
  • folder1
• s/test2, inside is folder:
  • folder2

I'm trying to figure out if there is some combination of clone and promote that would limit the amount of data needed to be sent over the network.

Or maybe there is some record/replay method I could do on snapshots that I'm not aware of.

Thoughts?

Since everyone here seemed to like my Pegboard designs, I figured I'd share this as well. When making the Only Sensor (see the home automation community or my site), I used this Solder Fume Extractor to keep my lungs nice and clean.

Fully 3D printable, and a full bill or materials on the link. Enjoy!

Hrm, not sure why the image returned a logo, but here it is:

So, I think I got backwards-deck. I play Rocket League, so input lag is a big deal for me there. However, the issue I have seems opposite of what I see online:

• Using deck controls has noticeable lag
• Using a wired X-Box controller has noticeable lag
• Using a Bluetooth X-Box controller works pretty good

Can anyone think of why I would have such bad lag on the built-in controls?

EDIT So this might be display, not input lag!

• Set Gamescope Disable FPS Limiter On
• Set Gamescope Allow Tearing On
• Set Rocket League Vsync Off
• Set Rocket League FPS to 144

The deck works a lot harder, and fans go crazy, but it's playable without an external monitor now. I think in limiting to the didplay's 60hz, the Deck must be doing something else causing display lag.

So I have a debate in my head right now about how I should handle devices stored unattended in vehicles. The criteria:

• Devices have new versions of Android
• Pass phrases or many-digit pins are used
• Biometric login is set up (but can't be used in Lockdown Mode)
• Have Bitwarden installed with biometric auth for the vault
• Has SSH keys on the device

I'm not worried about nation state attacks, but am considering the vector of a tech savy thief, and want to keep SSH keys and other device data secure. Assume they cannot be stored in a vault.

Is storing the phones on but in Lockdown mode enough, or should I turn them off completely? Off would be super annoying to wait for boot every time, but I'm not totally sure how KEK works for an encrypted device with biometrics set up but in Lockdown Mode where they are disabled.

Anyone else in this boat? It was said by a Bamboo user when I was chatting about my modded Maker Select and the Voron I'm about to build.

I do use the printer a lot for designing and making projects like the sensors I just launched or the Twystlock for Steam Deck, etc.

But I like tinkering/making more. For example I used to mod video game consoles more than I played them, so the comment made sense to me.

Hey all,

A couple of weeks ago I posted my 3D printable pegboard organizers, and today I’m releasing the Only Sensor line of home automation sensors.

Fully free and open, complete with wiring diagrams, cases, component bill of materials, and instructions for assembly.

You source and build them yourself, with acquisition costs ranging from $2-$35 to build, and options for:

• mmWave presence
• PIR motion detection
• Temperature
• Humidity
• LUX
• PM <10µm AQI
• PM <2.5µm AQI
• PM <1µm AQI
• NOX
• VOC

All integrate with Home Assistant via ESPHome.
