Shapr3D has been pretty decent and for a hobbiest, $300/yr for their pro version has been tolerable

Edit: I see at least a few people don’t like Shapr3D so I’ll add to my description a little bit because I think it’s great for what I do. Shapr3D has a free tier, is cheaper than programs like Fusion360, Solidworks, Sketchup, etc., has apps for the iPad and desktop, recently added parametric features that OP requested, and is faster (on my machines) than Fusion360 and Sketchup. I haven’t gotten to the point where I’m designing complicated parts that move relative to one another (maybe it can’t do that, I don’t know). I usually just recreate single plastic parts that break around the house or designs for something I’m fabricating. It’s been great for those use cases. It’s also free for students with a school email.

This isn’t exactly what you asked for but just in case it might interest you; I ordered this Aoostar WTR Pro recently to replace an Odroid that died on me. It has an intel N150 and lets you install whatever OS you want. I’m pretty happy with it so far.

Paperless-ngx - it allows you to upload important documents like receipts, contracts, etc. and uses OCR so you can search them

22nd Ammendment

What’s stopping Trump from having a puppet run for President and he as Vice President? The puppet could then step down after Inauguration Day.

The argument I’ve heard being, the Vice President isn’t elected to the office of the President.

Edit:

Does the 12th Amendment negate that argument? The last sentence in the amendment seems to suggest so.

12th Amendment

To go along with that, Telegram doesn’t make it easy to set up an encrypted chat. First, you have to set up a regular chat, then tap on the profile image of the person you are messaging, then tap the 3 dot menu, and finally tap “secret chat”. It’s there but they clearly don’t want people using it.

I don’t know what the fuck is going on. The client app connects to all 4 servers it needs a connection to. I can create a user on the server and all clients can login using it, I just can’t get notes to sync.

Official docs here

I found this tutorial1 and this tutorial2

Tutorial2 makes this one port change to the official docker compose file but otherwise is seemingly the same as tutorial1:

  notesnook-s3:
    image: minio/minio:RELEASE.2024-07-29T22-14-52Z
    ports:
      - 9009:9000
      - 9090:9090

With that change, and setting the port of the domain to 9090, I can access minio in the browser. But I don’t know if that’s necessary or not. I’m stumped.

Did you by chance self host the sync server using docker compose? Their instructions aren’t great and I was hoping you had some tips.

For anyone else interested, if I figure it out, I’ll post what I did here.

Edit 1: I finally got it all setup but syncing isn’t working so I guess I did something wrong 🙄 . Troubleshooting now

Thanks

I’m not familiar with that reference

I’ll DM you in a bit but real quick I just wanted to say I thought you improved in this episode. Great work

has some basic monitoring on them.

What monitoring software are you using?

I feel like the other measures you talked about (backups, condom of network traffic, etc) I’m doing ok on. Its really just the monitoring where I’m stuck. There’s so many options

I’ll look into it, thank you

I’ve seen a bunch of people recommend Authelia. Do you mind if I ask why you went with it over other software? I only went with authentik because I found a tutorial on it first

4. I saw someone else recommend crowdsec. I’ll look into it, thanks

if you use one of those 5$/month VPSes, with a VPN tunnel to your backend services, that adds one layer of “if it’s compromised, they’re not in your house”.

I’ve heard this mentioned before but I don’t really understand how this works in practice. If the VPS was compromised, couldn’t they use the VPN to then connect to my home?

Caddy only allows private IP ranges

Do you mind telling me more about this? How does that work; a VPN?

will do, thanks

If it were only me using the apps, I’d be using a VPN. Over the years, I’ve used OpenVPN, Wireguard, and now Tailscale. In my experience, they work like 99% of the time. That last 1% though is weird connection issues; usually when switching between WiFi and cellular (or vice versa) but sometimes it’s my server or ISP and I have to turn the VPN off and back on to troubleshoot. During those rare times, my partner will either turn off the VPN and forget to turn it back on or they will forget about the VPN completely and not be able to use their phone. Ideally, I’d like to set something up that doesn’t require any potential troubleshooting on their part so I can avoid hearing “why can’t we just use Google photos?” or “what’s wrong with Google home?” 😓

that’s awesome. thanks!

oh, my mistake. tbh, I don’t know enough about it but I’m interested. Why set up a TLS cert for AI at home? How is that benefiting you and your setup?

I’ve seen some people set up SSL certs for self hosted services and not make them publicly available but I didn’t get around to seeing why they were doing it
