Suggestions for a two-child height tracker
  • I hung up a maple 1x6.

    The left side has an attached ruler with both metric and ft/in.

    The right side has large vinyl numbers for feet (mainly just to look nice).

    In between the heights are marked with multicolored Sharpies indicating who is measured and the month/year.

  • Best Lemmy App in 2024
  • It has my favorite user interface, but I feel that it bogs down after viewing a series of images. I also feel that development has stalled a bit (edit, I was mistaken: they just released a pre release).

    I haven't found a better one, though. Next best so far has been Racoon.

  • How do you guys use Tailscale (or other VPN) with containers
  • This doesn't exactly match your goals, but you may be able to adapt it or take pieces from it.

    I have containers running on two subnets:

    1. LAN + Tailscale
    2. LAN only

    Subnet 1 has a DNS server, which resolves all of my services to IPs on either subnet.

    I have Tailscale set up on a machine as a subnet router (directing to Subnet 1).

    Result:

    1. When local, I can access all services on the LAN with local DNS entries, both Subnet 1 and 2.
    2. When remote via Tailscale, I can access all services on Subnet 1 with the same local DNS entries. I cannot access services on Subnet 2.

    This is nice because my apps don't care which network I'm on, they just use the same URL to connect. And the sensitive stuff (usually management tools) are not accessible remotely.

    It's also ridiculously simple: Only one Tailscale service is running at home.

    This does not solve your issue of broadcasting vs not broadcasting, though. There's probably other things missing as well. But maybe it's a start?

  • Favourite Haken albums?
    1. Affinity - I like the concept and style
    2. Vector - Mainly for one or two songs that really hit the spot
    3. Visions
    4. Aquarius
    5. Virus
    6. The Mountain - Some very good songs, but it doesn't feel cohesive to me.
    7. Fauna

    Haven't heard the others.

  • Backdoor found in widely used Linux utility breaks encrypted SSH connections
  • the AI that wrote the article

    The linked article is by Dan Goodin from Ars Technica. He's not immune to mistakes, but he's been writing good articles about security for years.

    Can we please not accuse everybody of being AI just because they made a mistake?

  • Recomendation for a note taking app
  • Logseq has an Android app and clients for the usual desktop platforms. It stores as .md files. It meets your requirements. I'm not sure why you're focused on Firefox support?

    One I have my eye on is Silverbullet.md. the creator recently promoted it here and it has some nice ideas. It's a web app that you self host. Behind the scenes everything is stored in .md files.

  • SilverBullet: a self-hosted personal knowledge management system for people with a hacker mindset
  • Thanks for your answers! Very fair thoughts, particularly about the flexibility of keeping things as just files on disk.

    Regarding the work thing, I should clarify my use case: I'd like to take work related notes that could contain privileged company data. With a standalone app, I can install it and manage the files on my device (with cloud syncing in an approved corporate way). I could still probably do that here, but it requires the work of running the web server locally. Unfortunately, an external source like a VPS wouldn't be allowed.

    I have one more question, if you have some time: One of the things I like most about Logseq is that when there is a list of back links on a page, the context capture is excellent (likely due to it being an outliner). I've noticed that with SilverBullet, the context capture might begin/end in the middle of a word, etc. Is there a way to configure that or plans to enhance it?

  • SilverBullet: a self-hosted personal knowledge management system for people with a hacker mindset
  • This is very cool, and I've been watching the project for a month or so.

    I like the query setup and the templates look very interesting. One of my biggest complaints about Logseq is how much of a pain simple query operations can be.

    A few things make me hesitate a bit:

    • I've been burned on single-dev passion projects in the past.
    • As a self hosted web app, it's a bit more difficult to manage on a company owned machine. I know Electron apps get hate, but that would ease some pain here.
    • The rapid pace of development is both exciting and worrisome. For example, a recent update completely changed the underlying templating engine from a well-known open source solution to a custom solution. I worry if I rely on this, something might catch me by surprise.

    What are your thoughts on those concerns, OP?

  • Library Advice?
  • I did basically what you are trying to do:

    I installed Calibre docker on my server machine with the DB local (important because the DB won't work over a share) and the book storage on the NAS.

    Then I installed Calibre-web docker and pointed it to the same local DB and the same book storage on the NAS.

    Now I can use Calibre for import, DRM removal, metadata updates, etc. And I use Calibre-web for user management, OPDS feed, etc.

    Let me know if you want more info.

  • Simple Uno Card Box

    !

    This is 3mm cast acrylic.

    The design started with CardBox from Boxes.py

    I made a few modifications, such as improving the lid design and adding holes to make it easier to access cards.
