I’m surprised to not see this suggestion, but Plex does music pretty well and they have an app dedicated for music/audio called “Plexamp”. Though I don’t think this app is on things like AppleTV/Roku(haven’t looked).

It’s so-so when it comes to playlist building…but the app on mobile works and I use it for audiobooks mainly, but I am starting to plan to use it switch off Spotify here soon.

or should I consider other software?

Unfortunately I had similar thoughts and plans that you outline here(receipt scanning into budgeting), but the amount of work involved was…too much for my liking.

I instead opted for a paid solution, which is Monarch: https://www.monarch.com/

It’s $100 a year, but they have a promotion(they always run promotions), where you can do your first year for 50% off with code: NEWYEAR2026

So far my wife and I have been loving Monarch. We linked our bank accounts and other financial institutions(401k, brokerages, IRAs, etc.) and everything mostly “just works”. There is an odd time or two where a bank account needs to be re-signed into to re-auth because token/api expired/changed, but again, the app works and does things well.

I’d suggest looking into it. I’m usually a huge proponent of self-hosting everything, but this is one of the few things I caved on…

The world economy collapsed because Americans stopped paying their mortgages.

So yeah, I’m sure nothing will come from domestic terrorists bombing corporate headquarters looking for children in dungeons and tens of millions of Americans dying.

At least our land will be cheap for countries to buy later on

Ukraine isn’t a civil war.

And OP is describing the purge one minute and then a normal Monday morning the next.

Again, no one in the US would be going to work if it was going purge style once the shit hits the fan. I have everyone of all walks of life around me(Dems, conservatives, white people, Mexicans, Asians, etc). Someone, somewhere, will be crazy enough to start driving around in giant pickup trucks and start shooting anyone that is “too brown”.

I’m not risking that happening to me or my family. I will force everyone to be home for a week before things calm down.

We’ve already had domestic terrorists hit our power grids and Jan 6th happened. You don’t think once a “civil war” happens things aren’t going to get worse immediately?

“But everyone has bills to pay” cool, and there are more guns than people in the US, something Ukraine didn’t have to deal with because they’re a sane country.

So everyone will be killing everyone, but you still think people are going to go to their jobs to pay bills?

If a civil war happens, no one is going to work. Anyone that does will get gunned down.

If anything pops off, my first priority is protecting my family, which means staying home and barricading and waiting a few days before leaving to do recon.

From there either we’ll know if police, national guard, and/or the military will be involved. What states are doing what, and you’ll have local families/communities forming.

Money won’t be a thing, no one is going to work.

Which is why a civil war won’t happen, it’ll crash the economy globally and the 1% can’t have that, so all of this is moot.

It worked for me? Not sure if OP changed it, but it goes to the latest repo just fine.

The entire internet? Whatever problem you had on windows you can just Google it and there’s either a YouTube video, reddit thread, or some obscure forum post that fixes your exact issue by copy and pasting some Powershell commands or a random bat file or GitHub project.

Linux? It’s gotten better, but the community side can get quite toxic or outright ignorant of how to troubleshoot any kind of issues tbh.

I would appreciate some type of custom attributes, but the notes section works fine as-is, so definitely not a huge “need” IMO.

I have used Monica/other CRMs in the past, but they all felt a bit too corporate or “sales” driven like you said in your OP.

I spun up a quick docker instance in my test environment and I’m using it right now, it’s been quite solid! I do have some confusion with how relationships get applied(from/to in regards to child/parent), but I believe I just need to use it a bit more to get used to the “flow” of how it is supposed to work.

My biggest want/need is being able to select multiple people at once to add to another person, so I guess a “bulk” edit or multi-select. Like adding 10 “child” to one “parent” at once if all of the children have already been created. Or if some logic can be applied where if one parent(dad) has three children, then you add a spouse(mom) to dad, then nametag can auto-add or offer to bulk edit the three children to add the new spouse(mom) as a parent too? Just quicker/better/fluid workflow.

Again, the site as-is is already solid. Just some fine-tuning IMO.

This looks great. I’m running a Teable instance, but sometimes it feels like it is “too much” sometimes.

I think I’ll deploy this for fun to check out. I don’t see anything specific here for things like gift ideas or favorite flowers/colors? Like custom tags/categories/attributes.

I’m using Teable to track things like that, but I love the visualization here, reminds me of my obsidian mind map lol.

Ah classic IPoAC!

I run my webservers behind a pfsense firewall with ssl offloading(using a wildcard cert) with a static IP and use Haproxy to have sub-domain’s go to individual servers. Even though I’ve seen my fair share of scans, I only ever expose port 443 and keep things updated.

Recently though someone on here mentioned routing everything over Tailscale via a VPS. I didn’t want to pay for a VPS and frankly can’t even find one that is reasonably priced in the US(bandwidth limits mainly), so I threw Tailscale onto my pfsense, setup split-dns on Tailscale’s admin panel with my domain name, and then reconfigured Haproxy to listen on my Tailscale interface. Even got IPv6 working(huge pain due to a bug it seems). Oh and setup pfblocker.

My current plan is I’m going to run my webservers behind Tailscale and keep my game servers public and probably segment those servers to a different vlan/subnet/dmz/whatever. And maybe just have a www/blog landing page that is read only on 443 and have it’s config/admin panel accessible via my tailscale only.

Anyway, back on topic. I run my game servers and I don’t advertise them out anywhere(wildcard cert) and do whitelist only, yet I still see my minecraft servers get hit constantly on port 25565.

So not much you can do except minimize exposure as much as possible.

Just looked, I guess USA servers only include 1TB of bandwidth, EU gets 20TB included.

Absolutely wild lol.

Ah I’ll have to look into this then…gotta find a VPS that will hopefully have a Los Angeles location and have decent traffic bandwidth.

Honestly never thought to use a VPS like that before. We’ve all seen using a VPS as a VPN exit node. Do you run into quota limits on the VPS or Tailscale side? Too many requests/data?

I’m gonna have to look into this for fun lol

Could you explain your setup a bit more? Because my understanding is:

Let’s say you have a blog website in your homelab. To access the blog you have to: you go to your VPS’s hostname/IP, from there the VPS forwards your request over tailscale to your homelab which then responds with your blog website?

If that’s the case, why even have the VPS and instead just use tailscale to access your homelab directly?

Unless you intend to have the VPS be a load balancer in some way? Or a filter/firewall? Or you can’t do a static IP for your homelab but you want it to be publicly accessible?

Just trying to understand why you’re doing it this way. I love seeing all the crazy ways people can set things up like this lol

In my experience, people will move with their interests.

I’ve been using reddit for probably 10-15 years. I used to send links to my wife(then girlfriend), but she never used reddit.

In the last year she made a reddit account after moving off of tiktok.

Now I’m on Lemmy pretty much full time because I prefer smaller communities and more specific topics, also less normies.

Trying to browse reddit is like talking with boomers and AI now. No thanks.

TIL there is a whole ass mediawiki for explaining XKCD comics.

Kind of, TrueNAS has “CORE” which is FreeBSD and “SCALE” which is Linux.

If you’re on CORE 13.X you can actually side-grade over to SCALE.

CORE is in maintenance only and SCALE is the path forward. So you can still get some updates on CORE I think, but everyone should be switching over to SCALE or using SCALE from here on out.

Proxmox recommends to not install anything directly on the proxmox host/baremetal.

Personally I would set this up as:

Proxmox installed on whatever single disk or raid 1 array.

Create a TrueNAS(or whatever OS you want) VM inside Proxmox. Mount the rest of the drives directly to the TrueNAS VM via Proxmox’s interface.

In the TrueNAS VM take the drives that were mounted directly to it and setup your array and pool(s) to your preference.

Now, I’d say you have two paths from this point:

• Inside the TrueNAS VM use their tools to create a VM within TrueNAS and use that for your arr stack.

OR

• Go back to Proxmox and create another VM or container and setup your arr stack in that container and point it to your TrueNAS via network mounts using internal networking from within proxmox(virtual bridge with a virtual LAN).

Either option has pros and cons. Doing everything inside TrueNAS will be a bit more simple, but you do complicate your TrueNAS setup and you’re at the mercy of how TrueNAS manages VMs(backups, restores, etc.). On the reverse with Proxmox, setting up the vmbridge and doing the network mounts is more work initially, but keeping the arr stack in a Proxmox VM/container lets you do direct snapshots and backups of the arr stack, and if you ever need to rebuild it or change it to another arr style set of tools then you can blow away the Proxmox VM and start fresh and resetup the network mounts.

Or don’t do any of the above and just install TrueNAS on the box directly as the baremetal OS and do everything inside TrueNAS.

0 bytes free is a broken environment. So that requires a fix during moratorium IMO.

Mint 21 still has support until 2027, so not exactly needed…but I get it when you only see certain family members during specific times of the year.

I’m just saying doing a full migration from ESXI to Proxmox and having to backup all VMs and import them or recreate and doing this during the holidays…I’d rather just sit on the couch and enjoy family time than be stuck in my garage or glued to my laptop.

Upgrading a family member’s laptop while shooting the shit with everyone while drinking a beer or something is just fine. Don’t need 100% focus, you’re good there man.
