Gotcha. Thanks anyway. 🙂

You’re right about printing not being all that, but certain situations (my situation) call for it, at least for the time being.

This is for manufacturing orders in a low tech environment, and at this point in time I need to stick with a paper trail (so I can get rid of it in the future.)

Thanks for the reply. I don’t think I fully understand what you mean.

What I would like to have is a service running on a server, fetching and printing mails. Could you please elaborate how your idea would work?

Thanks for the idea. It’s not quite what I was looking for, but I might look into it more if I don’t find anything better.

From the looks of it, it requires python scripting anyway, so there isn’t a big advantage to fetching the mail with python and imaplib directly.

The killer feature for me is my networked scanner scanning directly to the paperless consume samba share and the documents just popping up in the inbox fully OCRd and pre-categorised. Pretty magical.

NB, the docs make it sound like a proper DB is optional, but it’s really not. Performance was iffy for me with sqlite but is rock solid with Postgres.

This ticks all your boxes. It’s really good.

I have been researching the same question a few days ago and am currently running > badblocks -b 4096 -c 8 -svw /dev/sda on my old NAS drive. It makes a few passes writing the disk full of 0xaa and 0x55 and then reading it back. I have my disk in a USB2.0 SATA adapter on a raspberry pi 3 and it’s currently at 70% of pass #2 after 100 hours, so it sure is slow, but I don’t mind.

Snapcast works incredibly well for multi-device audio.

Has anyone tried setting up multiple zones with it that can play different things at the same time? I imagine you would need one snapcast server per zone? And is there an easy way to assign the clients to one of the servers?

So I had a very nasty behaviour of my exchange work calendar which I synced into my Nextcloud calendar, and it would automatically cancel and recreate all events, which would resend invitations to attendees. It was very unprofessional, to say the least.

After months of this, I finally figured out that the culprit was the calendar auto-backup in the Android Nextcloud client. Turned it off, and my problems went away. Maybe you have something similar going on?

If only every Windows install came with an internet exploder! We wouldn’t have to read Elon Musk X fluff pieces on the news ever single day. And privacy concerns… What privacy concerns?

Just been through the fire of having to clone my system to a new SSD and no, startup repair did nothing for me.

I’ve recently started using a Hetzner storage box for encrypted daily incremental backups and I’m very happy with it so far.

Works really well, though.

What a world it would be were that a possibility.

Sadly, I neither see a content creators’ union on the horizon anytime soon, nor do I see individual creators die a martyr’s death, financially speaking…

That’s a question ChatGPT would excel at… It sounds like it might be a big task for your shoes, but here goes (100% organic reply, mind you):

• get a Raspberry Pi, install your web app, make sure you can reach it on the LAN
• forward the port your web-app is running on to the Raspberry Pi: app is now reachable under IP:port from the internet)
• set up a domain with a provider that supports dyndns, set up a job on the Pi to regularly check in with the dyndns provider and tell it your current WAN IP: app is reachable on your own domain; success

This is leaving out any security measures and you will want to take care of those before opening your home LAN to the world! Have fun learning!

50% of 3%, that’s a whopping 1.5%! 😅
