Having a secure and up to date device should likely be more important
Dust0741 10 hours ago • 100%
Yes. Many security updates come from upstream AOSP and then are put into GOS.
So when a device has stopped getting AOSP updates, it is unreasonable for GOS to continue support it. They can and I believe they have applied more critical security patches to just barely EOL devices, but this isn't promised or expected.

https://endoflife.date/pixel This is for googles support. GOS may support a specific device a little longer than google but does not promise to and recomends getting a newer device.
Pixel 8a looks real good right now.

Programmatic access to discord
Dust0741 1 week ago • 100%
good question. friends use discord.
I am trying to not use any Google services for notifications and so I'd like to make a script to send notifications via ntfy based on discord messages. How would I get access programmatically to my own discord account? Do they even support it? They have bots, but is their api for DMs? --- Edit: the solution may just be a bot in servers, then not responding to DMs unless they use signal

TV with infared sensor (mac mini)
Dust0741 3 weeks ago • 100%
Huh I'll have to give Kodi a shot. I've already got a bunch of Debian experiance and have jellyfin so leaning kodi shouldn't be too bad.
inspired by [this post](https://lemmy.world/post/19197953) I have aac mini with an infared reciever on it. I'd love to use it as a TV PC. And ideally an infared remote too. I am looking for software recommendations for this, as I've done basically no research. What's my best option? Linux with kodi? How would a remote connect / which software is required for the remote to work?? Thanks!
how would i go about getting the latest kde onto debian 12? is it worth it even? EDIT: fine I wont try lmao

Say I have a large txt or CSV file with data I want to search. And say I have several files. What is the best way to index and make this data searchable? I've been using grep, but it is not ideal. Is there any self hostable docker container for indexing and searching this? Or maybe should I use SQL?

Dust0741 2 months ago • 100%
Checkout my super recent post history. I'm doing something very very similar.
Basically I've decided on Debian for OS, docker plus Portainer and dashy for interface, and mdadm for raid 1.
I've tested a raid 1 failure and rebuild on two thumb drives I have, and have everything well documented. Feel free to ask any questions.

Its new homelab time. And with that, potentially a new OS time too. I currently am very happy with Debian and Docker. The only issue is I am brand new to using data redundancy. I have a 2 bay NAS I'll use, and I want the two HDDs to be in raid 1. Now I could definitely just use ZFS or BTRFS with Debian, and be able to use Docker just like I do currently. Or I could use a dedicated NAS OS. That would help me with the raid part of this, but a requirement is Docker. Any recommendations?

Nginx pihole and pfsense issue
Dust0741 2 months ago • 100%
Including the local DNS settings? Like mapping my domain to an ip?
I have nginx up and working with pihole and its great. I can get to: https://dashy.homelab.duckdns.org/ On my PC but not my phone. On my phone, pfsense blocks it and says "Potential DNS Rebind attack detected, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_rebinding Try accessing the router by IP address instead of by hostname." Why? I've disconnected and reconnected to WiFi, and waited a day.
I have a hdd attached to my server. It's `sda` but has 2 partitions so `sda1` @16M and `sda2` @3.6T It defaulted to being in the location `/media/devmon` so I kept that and it worked for ages. Suddenly the data is gone. I had files located here: `/media/devmon/4tb_drive/kiwix/zim` and that directory is now empty. But I put the drive into a Windows box, and everything was there. When I run `mount /dev/sda2 /media/devmon/` it says: ``` The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0). Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount. Falling back to read-only mount because the NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting.) Could not mount read-write, trying read-only ``` I originally formatted this drive in Windows, is that the issue? Ideally I'd use btrfs or zfs not ntfs, but here we are. --- How do I get access again?

btrfs drive replacement
Dust0741 2 months ago • 100%
Hm okay. I was thinking of using Debian and likely a 4 bay case.
So the process for a dead HDD: Power off. Pull out dead drive and replace. Power on. Now what? Does Debian/a specific motherboard support auto rebuilding the raid 1? Or what are the commands to rebuild?
Referencing: https://lemmy.world/post/17588348 I want to make a NAS with a 500GB boot drive and 2x16TB HDDs. Based on my previous post, btrfs is a good option. It also looks easy to get started. My plan for the NAS would be to purchase several 16TB drives, and only use 2 of them. My first question is about different drives. Could I purchase two different brand drives and use them with btrfs? (I assume yes) 2nd question: how does the replacement process go? Like if drive A died, so I remove it, and put a brand new replacement in. What do I have to do with btrfs to get the raid 1 back going? Any links or guides would be amazing.
Goal: - 16TB mirrored on 2 drives (raid 1) - Hardware raid? - Immich, Jellyfin and Nextcloud. (All docker) - N100, 8+ GB RAM - 500gb boot drive ssd - 4 HDD bays, start with using 2 Questions: - Which os? - My though was to use hardware raid, and just set that up for the 2 hdds, then boot off an ssd with Debian (very familiar, and use it for current server which has 30+ docker containers. Basically I like and am good at docker so would like to stick to Debian+docker. But if hardware raid isn't the best option for HDDs now a days, I'll learn the better thing) - Which drives? Renewed or refurb are half the cost, so should I buy extra used ones, and just be ready to swap when the fail? - Which motherboard? - Which case?

Hi. Thermostats are expensive. I currently have this [one](https://advantage-supply.com/products/honeywell-smart-thermostat-multi-stage-3-heat-2-cool-t6-pro-series), at my apartment. I would like to replace it with one that connects to HA. First, is this a good idea since I'm in an apartment? I'll obviously keep the current one, and put it back before leaving. Second, what's a good one that is either open source or at least non internet based (but still works on HA)? Thanks!
I want my self hosted things to use https. For example, I have Jellyfin installed via docker, and I want it to use https instead of http. I don't care about necessarily doing this the "right" way, as I won't be making Jellyfin or any other service public, and will only be using it on my local network. What is the easiest way to do this? Assume everything I host is in docker. Also a link to a tutorial would be great. Thanks!

SDR+PI with flipper zero functionality
Dust0741 3 months ago • 100%
Ah cool. Yea asking for something as simple as the flipper is basically impossible with my setup.
I have an RTL-SDR v4, and a Raspberry Pi. I am wondering if there is some way to get the ease of use that comes with the flipper zero with the pi. This is ignoring the packaging, and how small the flipper is. And also ignoring the replaying of signals, as additional hardware would be needed.
Looking for a docker containers or program to run on my server that looks at my list of subscribers (from google takeout or newpipe etc) and downloads them automatically. Ideally there'd be an option to delete after watching, and a nice interface to watch the videos as well. --- Does anything like this exist? Thanks!

Grapheneos can be used almost identically to stock android. You can install google apps and use them or not. The biggest piece of it is the options.
There is no account associated to GOS. You can login to an existing google account etc, just like any android.
GOS has messages for SMS only. It had a Gallery app for photos and a files app for system files. There aren't many apps it comes with, so getting alternative apps is easy. Mostly via Fdroid (or droidify for a more modern looking app). For a better photos app, I recommend "Aves" For a drive app, a private option would be proton drive. Notes app can be anything you want, but GOS doesn't come with one. If you want to use google notes you can. I wouldn't recommend it, but you can. There are lots on Fdroid to choose from.
As for cloud sync, GOS doesn't do this, but again, you can use any other service you'd normally use to sync. I use Syncthing to sync a folder on my phone to a folder on my PC. That way I can have things like my photos easily on desktop and have backups.
As for app stores, GOS doesn't recommend Aurora because they don't sign the apps the provide, but I use it anyways, as it is the best way to get apps without a google account.
You definitely don't need your own Nextcloud or Homelab. I prefer paying for hardware I own instead of cloud things, but both have good positives.
Also, your questions aren't stupid their great! You're just learning about this stuff that that's amazing. Keep learning.
Is there something that can generate random Internet usage to make the real sites I go to a bit obfuscated? I'm thinking something that runs on my server, and simply visits a random website. It probably shouldn't actually be random, and some sort of tweaking would be great. Like the ability to have it visit every news site there is. That way the ISP will have a harder time telling my political bias. The threat model for this is below using a VPN for normal usage, although getting a dedicated VPN IP address is a project for one day.
Have any of you android users setup an iMessage server such as [BoueBubbles](https://bluebubbles.app/) or [AirMessage](https://airmessage.org/)? Or some similar? If so, how well does it work?
