Ooooh that looks interesting. I haven’t messed around much with tailscale since I set it up a few years back and hadn’t noticed this. Funny, I was just the other day wondering if they might have something like that, but didn’t look it up. Thanks!

Yeah, what @anamethatisnt@lemmy.world suggested is definitely the easiest thing and super practical - I got family members on my tailnet for this purpose. I am however now also looking into some kind of tunneled, reverse proxied and authenticated way to expose a few of my services to other friends where I don’t want to have to put them on tailscale or potentially expose them to more than needed via that route.

I haven’t started yet, but I am updating my network set up soon to install a dedicated OPNsense router as the edge for my network. From there, the plan is to have a cloudflare tunnel that accesses some of these services via a caddy reverse proxy, with Authelia for authentication. That’s the part I have studied enough to feel confident I can do. I am a little weaker on the networking aspects of this, which is where I need to study some more - like isolating those services that are exposed in my network, while still giving them access to some other needed resources within it, etc.

I was looking for something similar for a while, like something for simple relational data with some GUI for data entry, aka “I don’t wanna write a little web app just for this”. I had used AirTable at work before at work so that’s what came to mind and my searching was basically for “open source or selfhosted alternative to AirTable”.

Came across some decent candidates, can’t remember all the names, but the one I tried, Grist, was pretty straightforward and did the job: easy relational data setup, GUI for all basic data types including file uploads, easy to create input forms, and widgets that talk to the API and you can customize with JavaScript. Setup was easy with docker

EDIT: other names that came up when looking were NocoDB and BaseRow ( I don’t remember why I didn’t try them for my specific needs)

😂 I don’t pay that much attention to usernames, but once I saw your comment, I was like “hey, I think I have come across SatansMaggotyCumFart a few times before!”

It wasn’t my original intention, but ingress made me walk a whole lot!

Fuck… I got this Amber alert today while playing videogames with my kid… I dismissed it, told him it was just an alarm, and then got another later saying it was cancelled, “check local news sources for details”. I assumed it was what I thought a lot of them are: domestic dispute leads to a parent driving off with the kids and the other parent calling the cops. This is way more grim than I thought

Lol the für Elise thing is funny. Back in highschool I got a “PC maintenance” credit which had me assigned as support in the computer lab. I made a batch script that ran on startup and showed a warning message saying the hard disk will self destruct and did a countdown from 10 with the motherboard speaker beeping down, fun times

I was just about to comment that this reminded me of the sub7 days. Not sure when it was released, but I definitely used it in 1998

Edit, memory was wrong, it was released in February 1999

I am someone who should have found a way to legal status through those means by the time when I went to college circa mid 2000s… I am lucky that I found other means, which were pure circumstantial luck… Kids’ livelihood should not be dependent on dumb luck … PS.: my “dumb luck” required an American citizen ally and a shitload of money I got through student loans I am still paying for, and will still be paying for through most of my career, despite being technically in “public service”

Coming from the 9000 series, I am wondering what do you like about the 5700 series HAL?

Ah thanks for letting me know about Rx Resume! Great resource, and actually solves the last mile problem (creating the document) of my little personal app. I am a bit of a jack of all trades, so I made a little database for the resume where the lowest level item (the little bullet points in the experience) can have tags attached to them. So I might describe the same job/experience in multiple ways depending on who the audience is, and then filter for the tags to only get the bullet points that are relevant for that position and generate a resume.

Now instead of going into some whole slog of coding document generation, I can just export that bit as JSON and import into Rx Resume! Thanks again!

Ah thanks! I am working with .NET, and I was surprised how there’s little out there in terms of (open source) libraries for LaTex (I did some research since this comment). I might end up going with docx via the OpenXML API. Also, I haven’t really used LaTex before (has been on on my learning to-do list), and once I started messing with some templates, I realized I need to learn a lot more first.

One thing with my documents is that find and replace alone won’t work, as I need to replace some patterns. I am generating resumes, so I need to take something like a pattern for a job, and then repeat it several times

What is it?

Ah, that’s the only thing I was thinking of, but it surely didn’t sound like you trying to develop a product on top of it haha

Can you tell me more about your bird recognition setup? I currently have a feeder with a PiCam on it that records based on movement (just using RPi_Cam_Web_Interface) but would love to do something like that!

Just curious, what’s their reasoning?

I am working on something similar and also planning on LaTex because it will be so easy to do find and replace because it’s plain text (just adding placeholders like ##NAME## or whatever), but I’m only planning on outputting PDFs, which would be easy enough. I don’t think there’s many viable solutions to go LaTex to docx if that’s a big requirement for you

Did you then tell them “I use arch btw” and then get a confused question about architecture?

Ah thanks for the explanation. The steam app flickering is indeed one of my symptoms
