I've been digging into the settings of this printer and, sadly the only send it can do is as a fax... It's the entry model, been serving us for years very nicely. It even connects to the internet, but misses features such as email, smb or ftp. For me this looks like something an open source firmware could fix. It has enough processing power to possibly run a lightweight Linux distribution, so installing one that would enable modern communication protocols doesn't seem impossible.
This was it for me now, installed paperless-xng, set it up to scan my email folders, copied all random PDFs from my "organized" tax folder and scanned the rest.
Too bad I just happen to have that Brother printer/scanner without SMB or FTP support. So I need to go through the process of scanning on my computer first, then uploading.
Of course. My setup now is a Proxmox server + a NAS. What I'm planning to do is to install a service for this to Proxmox, then have the files synced over NFS to the NAS, which then backs them up every night to Backblaze. And of course I need to have the paper copies too, but to be able to search, tag and archive the documents is great when you need to remember a thing X that was mentioned in a paper I got back in 2014.
It just doesn't feel right to have multiple postgres databases running, if every other service uses the one in the network. Having already monitoring, disk space and backups set...
Installed it because of this thread to my homelab today. I never really managed my phone images in any way, never uploaded them anywhere. This was the first time. About 5 gigabytes of images and videos were synced to my NAS in a few minutes, now I can search them and all that. It's a pretty cool setup, although the installation is a bit tricky if you don't go to the path they give you. I run a Postgres server in Proxmox, and you have to install just the right version of pgvecto.rs for the system to work.
Browsing the issues I was able to figure out what went wrong, and after downgrading, no issues.
Yep. I switched from xorg/i3 years ago, and it was already super snappy back then compared to the previous setup. Today everything works with Wayland, and I don't really need to think about it anymore.
But, ymmv. I avoid Nvidia's products, which helps a lot for the stability.
Nice! And they will probably differentiate from the competition by allowing GPL applications and sideloading, and having a total control for your privacy and no tracking, right?
Right?
Is there any high quality versions of The Second Arrangement available? I thought they gave up on that.
A bot that would send us the content as email, which we'd read using Emacs. I can see that happening.
About five years with Wayland now. Started with sway and now running KDE Plasma 6. It is snappy, simple and definitely so good I will not miss X11.
(I also think systemd is cool, you can crucify me now)
