I lean on nixos modules first, but half the time it either doesnt exist or its too complicated at first glance. So I will manually create an oci-container configuration by referencing a docker compose on the projects site. For simple compose files this is easy. Sometimes its not easy, and I dont end up deploying it.

I’ve been wanting to find or build a method that lets me drop a compose alongside ny config and have nix load the yaml and build the oci-container configuration for me. That would be nice since Im familiar with compose syntax and it’s usually easier to write imo.

~/repo for code I write and ~/src for code I didnt.

I used Zola for a while, but at the end of the day there wasnt enough themes available that fit what I was looking for. I ended up messing with the templating engine to get what I needed.

I suggest OP choose Hugo over Zola, in the hopes that they find a theme that suits them best and for the most part prevents them from having to touch templating to begin with.

Thats a wonderful article. Thank you for sharing

For best privacy, get a monitor and a tv box (like nvidia shield, or roll your own software a single board computer like a raspberry pi). That might be the only way to trust a tv: dont use it at all.

Where’s the tailscale fork? Thats my current battery sink

Paperlessngx will store pdfs and index their contents for searching. It’s not necessarily meant for books but I think it would work.

What cad software did you use?

I used an ai painting pkugin before…never considered others! I’ll take a look.

I love use tools like mermaid or plantuml. But Ive always faught with formatting (or gave up) instead of editing after the fact. Great idea?

In the same vein, I use draw.io to make architecture diagrams and flow charts.

I forgot about Asesprite! Thats a great tool.

Aseprite was originally licensed under GPL but later made propretary. The fork of the last GPL version is called Libresprite but it doesnt have much activity, I dont think.

I’ve been meaning to get into some image generation type things too. The best self hosted tool I know of is InvokeAI. I’m sure there could be a whole other post (or other community) about image generation tools.

I use todo lists for groceries. So getting things setup on nextcloud and then mobile devices with any caldav compatible app is pretty easy. We have a couple shared lists.

You can use tasks.org for android and reminders for iOS.

I’ve been using micromamba/mamba and not had solving issues like I did with conda. Im glad conda integrated libmamba.

Question: why were docker containers deemed security risks?

I recently built a site with hugo. Its very easy. You pick a theme, then write some markdown files. And when you need flexibility, you have it for later. I also think it’s the most popular right now, which lends to a lot of themes to pick from and a lot of cpmmunity support.

Thats a great idea. Theres lots of Foss cad tools, and Im sure they have plenty of flexibility even when contrained to 2d.

Really love the side panel. I dont see those done vertically very often, and yours looks good.

Can you share pics with this door? How do you walk outside and have it lock behind you?

Use a raid atrray, and replace drives as they fail. Ideally they wouldnt fail behind your back, like an optical disk would.

I’ve used minio briefly, and I’ve never used any other self hosted object storage. In the context of spinning it up with docker, it’s pretty easy. The difficult part in my project was that I wanted some buckets predefined. The docker image doesn’t provide this functionality directly, so I had to spin up an adjacent container with the minio cli that would create the buckets automatically every time I spun up minio.

But for your use case you would manage bucket creation manually, from the UI. It seems straight forward enough, and I don’t have complaints. I think it would work for your use case, but I can’t say its any worse or better than alternatives.
