I use my laptop for anything that requires a real keyboard or bigger screen. Then I have my server, and my phone. So I mostly just use the laptop and the phone. I do have a dual screen phone though so that helps a bunch for multitasking.

A simple yet loaded question. Overall I think I am. I spend a lot of time working and commuting but I'm in the growing years of my career and working hard to prove myself. The late night work is usually things I enjoy doing but don't have time for during the day and I'd otherwise be sitting in front the TV so I might as well make money.

I make time for family as well. For example leaving early for date night every now and then, taking days off for family events, going on family vacations. It's important to have balance.

If I were to pick an area of my life that I'm unhappy with, it would be friendships and hobbies but I think most of that is due to undiagnosed mental issues. I don't make connections easily so friends have always been hard. I have one good friend that I've known for almost my whole life, every one else is an acquaintance. The only hobby I have is the same thing I do for work. I don't really enjoy or get excited about anything else.

Monday: Get kids ready for school and drop them off. Travel 45-60 minutes to work, work 9+ hours and travel back. Eat dinner and help clean up (wife cooked after she got home from work). Get kids ready for bed. Work another 3-4 hours. Sleep.

T-W: Leave for work an hour early. Work 9+ hours. Get home and help make dinner for the family if not yet made, help clean up, get kids ready for bed, work another 3-4 hours, sleep.

Thursday: Get kids ready and drop them off at school. Work from home for the day. Help make dinner. Help clean up. Get kids ready for bed. Work some more, sleep.

Friday: Get kids ready and drop them off. Travel to work and work 9+ hours. Travel home. Either get ready to go out with the wife or, if we're staying in eat dinner and help clean up. If staying in, spend some time with the fam before sleep.

Saturday: Both wife and I are off work so we run errands, take the kids to do something fun, visit family, home projects, etc... Saturdays are busy.

Sunday: Wife is working, spend most of the day working on home projects (yard work, laundry, cleaning). Make dinner, get kids ready for bed, sleep.

Do it all over again.

Wife works in retail so does a lot of shopping for household needs and groceries throughout the week. She also cleans the house and works on home projects on her days off if she's not running errands.

I worked with a debt collection agency from an IT perspective and dealt with what I believe to be the same company. It is an industry that I never want to support again if I can avoid it. I met some good people but it's just an unhealthy work environment overall.

I don't know enough about the fediverse or Lemmy code to say how easy or hard this would be to implement but if we're logging in with the username [email protected] for example, it's reasonable for the app to assume the server is located at lemmy.noogs.me and it can derive the likely URL of https://lemmy.noogs.me from that. The only case this wouldn't work is if your instance is running on a port other than 443 because then we need some way to tell the app what the port should be.

Email (or at least Microsoft Exchange email) uses a protocol called autodiscover for this which uses DNS to tell an email client where to get connection information from, it then polls that URL for the information and configures the email client automatically. Using a similar DNS based approach may be useful as well.

The usual go to for self hosted password managers is VaultWarden. There's no deb or rpm package but you can get it spun up with docker pretty easily. Any reason you're specifically looking for "included" or packaged solutions? That's going to severely limit your options.

I run a supermicro chassis with 6 3TB drives in a RAID6 using a dedicated hardware RAID controller. Old school for these days but works for my needs for now. Drives were free from a buddy of mine so until they start dying or I need more space, they'll do. Then I have two 120GB intel enterprise SSDs for running Proxmox. VMs and LXCs are all on the spinning disks which surprisingly perform well enough.

First check to make sure you are monitoring for all seasons and episodes not just new ones.

Next, Sonarr works by checking RSS feeds for new torrents that match what you're monitoring.

No new torrents for that show = no downloads.

You need to use the Search button on a show, season, or episode for it to search existing torrents and download them.

I have a single Proxmox host running:

• Apache reverse proxy
• 2x PiHole
• Jellyfin
• UniFi Controller
• Sonarr
• Radarr
• Lidarr
• Readarr
• Prowlarr
• NextCloud
• Deluge
• MySQL
• HomeAssistant
• OpenSense firewall
• Zoneminder
• Lemmy (with Alexandrite)
• RockStor NAS
• Windows 10 workstation

I'm here too but I haven't seen much activity from the few of us that have migrated. I won't go back to reddit but I fear most of the MSP community will stay there at least for the time being.

I agree that MSPs mainly push proprietary but there is a growing sub-community of us that still advocate for FOSS where we can, and use strictly FOSS products for their personal tech. I hope to see at least many of those people migrate here. CIPP users and the CyberDrain and MSPGeek communities are filled with these people for example.
