You can run Android apps on a Linux phone via Waydroid, but banking apps could be an issue if they force these Google intrgrity checks. Grindr probably does not?
Anyway, you should be able to fire up Waydroid on your Linux desktop and test this beforehand. I have never done this myself, so I might have misunderstood something.
If I were you, I’d make sure to tackle one thing at the time, and set aside some time to figure it out, where the goal is not to for instance play games, but set up a game for play later. That way you can focus on the first part, instead of trying to rush that. So for example, when you are trying to set up Home Assistant, spend time just getting Docker to work first. I’ve fallen into that trap many times before, where I ended up not reading the messages properly because I was impatient and just wanted to get to the end fast. Once you get more familiar with Linux, this stuff gets quicker because more of the steps involved with any task is familiar to you already, and the troubleshooting threads you find on different forums are less Greek.
For specifics:
For Docker, when you feel ready to try that again, I’d recommend setting it up together with a GUI, like Portainer. If you follow the official guides to install Docker and then Portainer, you should have a web UI accessible that makes dealing with containers easier. I generally like doing things in the command line, but for containers, I prefer to have a GUI.
When it comes to Home Assistant, I’d honestly go for either Home Assistant Green or Yellow from Nabu Casa (you’d support the Open Home Foundation directly this way). If you want to set it up yourself, I’d go the route of a dedicated single board computer, like a Raspberry Pi, and use Home Assistant OS. I tried to set it up as a container as well before, but there are certain limitations you avoid by just running their OS directly on dedicated hardware. It’s been running smoothly for me since I set it up on my Raspberry Pi 4.
It is good to learn about Wine and Bottles, but I’d start out with Steam (and Proton), Heroic and Lutris. I’ve had much headaches getting stuff to run properly on Heroic and Lutris, but I think the trick here is to avoid Flatpaks for these sorts of things, because there are many dependencies, and you are dependent on a good permissions setup for Flatpaks. Your mileage may vary though, I’m sure there are plenty of people with painless experiences with Flatpaks here.
I got a reply from someone who had got it working under Wine before, so I will go ahead and order it. I will check if the drag and drop-approach works then as well, which would be preferable for any custom tracks. I’ll update on what I find out when I get the pedal!
And thanks for the link to the community, I will definitely follow that one. I fear this can become a very expensive hobby, I have gone from 0 to 3 in a short time, and I find myself wanting ones that I currently don’t have the skills to make proper use of…
From the tutorial video I saw (for Windows), that is how you would do it. But it seemed to me that it was not as simple as just dragging in the files, and that you had to use the software to write the files. Another reply here gave two solutions that had worked, so I am just about to order one now. I can update here with what I find when I just browse the file structure.
Perfect, good to know! Then I will go for it!
What does Jellyfin have to do with that? If you implement acess control in the reverse proxy, requests from non-whitelisted IPs are just not forwarded to Jellyfin.
I have mine behind a revwrse proxy (Nginx Proxy Manager), and use a whitelist to allow specific IPs or IP ranges access so my family can use it.
They rely on it, that does not necessarily mean that they have written it. I have never heard of Murena being involved in the development of Nextcloud before.
How do you like it? We’ve set it up as a test at work, but we don’t really do much office-type document collaboration, so we haven’t really tested it much yet.
Murena is also the author of NextCloud
What? I don’t think this is accurate?
I use Nginx Proxy Manager and whitelist my remote users. They all have static IPs though, so its a workable solution for me.
Before I used a whitelist I would go through the access logs, and could never find any attempts to exploit the endpoints - only some random bots trying to find some admin page assuming it was another service. Not saying you shouldn’t take it seriously, but you are likely not subject to these attacks the moment you expose it.
That said, there is a discussion about these endpoints on their repo. At some point they will be fixed (my impression is that they are hampered by legacy Emby code). When they do, you could do this more securely.
Oh yeah, then that is how it really is. The script runs fine, the output is correctly piped, but it is just the signal handling that doesn’t work.
But I don’t actually know what the new behavior is. I think it is that it never receives a termination signal, and is then just killed instead, and if that is the case, how can I modify it do catch that?
What I intend to do tomorrow is to rewrite all the output (which I had hoped to avoid having to do for this) to write directly to a log file instead of trying to capture the print statements for this initially “only-meant-for-me” piece of code. That way I won’t have to do anything but run the Python script and it should receive the termination signal as intended. But as I said, I would still like to understand what is going on.
I am actually used to the company buying you a phone that you use as a personal device, but must then be enrolled in Intune or something similar. It is considered a perk of the job, and a taxable one at that. So the saving is not as obvious in this case.
Yeah, as far as I am concerned, there’s a direct conflict of interest between myself and my company when it comes the usage of a device that doubles as a personal and professional device. I understand the company’s need to take measures to control sensitive information, and when I do whatever I do on my spare time, I am unnecessarily (from the point of view of the company) endangering the information I have access to. And because of the safe-guards they put in place, they are taking an unacceptable amount of control of a device I keep my personal sensitive data.
Because of this I find it a bit baffling that BYOD ever became accepted practice, both from the employer’s side and the employee’s side.
What is FDE?
EDIT: Full-disk encryption?
I have a separate, company-issued phone that is used exclusively for work related activities and that is not even connected to my home network.
This looks really cool! Thanks for the share
I was recently introduced to this and I am very glad I found it. I was once recommended it, but then I thought they meant to attach a physical screen to my headless server…
You can export your data from Spotify, and use that as a basis for downloading songs via for example yt-dlp (this can be automated), or slowly build it up again over time in whatever system you set up by buying the albums/compilations containing the songs.
