On the uptime monitoring I've been quite happy with uptime kuma, but... If you put it on the same host that's down... Well, that's not going to work :p (I nearly made that mistake)

I vaguely remembered a quote about him saying he was impressed with Saddam Hussein's indefatigably.
After going to look it up just there to confirm it was him that said it I saw more of the context around it:
Sir, I salute your courage, your strength, your indefatigability, and I want you to know that we are with you, hatta al-nasr, hatta al-nasr, hatta al-Quds until victory, until victory, until Jerusalem. (https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/George_Galloway)
So whilst I agree that he's out for himself and not someone that I particularly care for, he does seem to have had an interest in that part of the world for the last 30 years or so. This isn't quite the out of the blue political opportunism that some people seem to be suggesting it is.
I believe ofcom almost agree too...
“No politician may be used as a newsreader, interviewer or reporter in any news programmes unless, exceptionally, it is editorially justified. In that case, the political allegiance of that person must be made clear to the audience.” (Source: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/news-centre/2023/ofcoms-rules-on-politicians-on-tv-and-radio) But what we see here is these programmes being billed not as news, but as talk shows or current events programmes which allows them to sidestep this. An example of an article which lists a series of complaints being investigated by ofcom as of September 2023: https://www.thenational.scot/news/23799032.full-list-gb-news-shows-investigation-ofcom/ Note:This is from The National, an outlet which is very anti-Tory and I'm sure subject to a few impartiality complaints itself!
That's the one. The 30p Lee that presents on GB News.
If the extra charger that covers with the official dock doesn't work to you (fair enough since you mention that portability is key) I backed the jsaux case on Kickstarter and am quite happy with us: https://jsaux.com/products/omnicase-2-storage-docking-station?variant=43986713772252
I got the pro version, but there's no reason that you can't get the standard one and it came with a nice little travel pouch, but I don't know if that covers with the ices you buy directly.
That sounds like a rather unpleasant experience indeed! I've never looked into it in more detail than scrolling through the lsio containers they offer, so thanks for that insight and saving me a headache in case I get around to a similar project I've also been meaning to embark upon
I'm going to choose not to answer that for two reasons...
- I don't know the answer
- solar panels and batteries are great.
But yes I'm in a position where I was more willing to pay for the power than I was to buy additional storage space as I'm hitting the top of what I can do without significant expense.
Ah, fair point. I don't use torrents, my media comes from usenet, so that doesn't need to factor into my thinking.
My (overly?) Complex setup does allow me to resort to torrents as a last resort, but that happens on another machine outside my home network and gets synchronised into my home via a one-way syncthing share, so even on the rare occasion I have to resort to torrents I can leave it on that server seeding for a few weeks or months.
Could Snipe it work for you? https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-snipe-it/
It looks like an asset management tool. The description copied and pasted from above reads:Snipe-it makes asset management easy. It was built by people solving real-world IT and asset management problems, and a solid UX has always been a top priority. Straightforward design and bulk actions mean getting things done faster
I've just recently started using tdarr to convert all of my media to x265on 14/02 and so far I've saved 4.02 TB of what was 28.12TB media collection. (The number isn't a true reflection though because new episodes and shows have been added to that library since I started)
I'm letting tdarr manage the conversion process and once up and running meant that my NAS, desktop, my NUC and a mini pc are all plodding through and converting when I'm not using them for other things.
If you are worried about the disk space being taken and have some CPU time you can devote to the conversion process then I'd suggest it's worth looking into tdarr.
I don't have easy access to my torrent client at the moment, how much disk space are we talking about here? Tens of GB, hundreds, multiple TB?
Edit: ooft, that's a hefty chunk of space indeed, the first one I looked at was 400gb, the second was >4tb. Sadly I can't contribute that kind of space on my torrent box.
I'm more interested in matrix having worked with meta to actually bridge from a matrix home server to WhatsApp. Thanks to the EU's DMA WhatsApp were required to do something.
As for how it will look, further down that same post there is the following:
So sadly it looks as though you may be able to contact people if they've opted in for cross platform messaging, but they'll need to look somewhere else for your messages.
I currently use matrix and have bridges for discord, WhatsApp, RCS, Google messages and possibly a couple of others running so that I can just chat to whoever I want from one place and not care which platform they're using.
