Snipe-it … I’ve been using forma a while to track my IT equipmente. Dies a Hood job. Didnt know about Homebox. Just checked the demo. It appears to be what I’ve been looking for for years now. Will try it soon. Very much developed by single person. I but risky if development is dropped but then CSV export at least saved the data that can be imported into spreadsheet

I’m not into ebooks that much and don’t have experience with them. I still prefer paper. I’ve just been totally put off by all the bad stuff I’ve read about DRM etc. Is it really a problem and how do these tools that you mention above cope with them. I’m one of those that often annotates with pencil in the books I read. Can you annotate DRM protected content with Open Source tools?

This is good to know. I have my OS on nvram and my data pool on a disk array. If u lose a disk on the pool, zfs should take care of that. If I lose the os disk or is gets corrupt, then based on what u say above, it should be easy enough to reinstall Truenas scale on new nvram, import the pool and then import the last config file to setup all the shares which otherwise would have to be setup manually from scratch. Does that sound right?

The way things are going with audio/music is a sign of how bad things are getting. Its even becoming difficult to find a DVD or audio CD that you like and want to own. So, the only way to consume is via streaming. The only way to move away from this is for production to be self funded and self published. But why would artists move away from this system if it pours money into the already exploding bank accounts?

Hey, I like this comment. It lists most of the actions I’ve taken over the last few years. I’m glad I’m not fueling AI training anymore with my data. GrapheneOS my latest migration after using /e/ for a few years. So happy. Notesnook is new to me. Looks interesting although still unclear to me if there is some business model behind. How are these guys making a living?

That is what i meant

I agree. I bought 2nd hand pixel 5 just to install GrapheneOS

Fairphone is going to be my next phone although likely to be second hand, as all the phones I have used to date. Recycle, recycle and recycle is my motto.

Presumably Roku spies on you too? Better to installato one of those linux based OSes that you can even install on a Pi

Cheers for that. I need pro tip 2 then 😄 because I still can’t work out why the search on my lemdro.id instance only pulls up locale instances despite me fully declaring the community address as !truenas@programming.dev

Shouldn’t it be searching across all instances? I’m using Jerboa as an android client.

Well, I don’t want to bore people here with all my Truenas posts 😀 I installed a few weeks ago and still on a steep learning curve. Given that I’m off Reddit now, I need a community to support me. Also, as I’ve just joined Lemmy, I would need to work out how I create a new Truenas community. Presumably that can only happen on my instance and presumably I will need tone graced by the instance admin … Wow, lots of hard work 😅
