A small whiteboard on the fridge perhaps?

If you need to throw in the towel on email self-hosting, don’t be ashamed. Mail servers are one of the more difficult projects to run. If you do end up outsourcing this, I recommend SendGrid, it’s reliable and free.

You have to add the FUTO repo https://app.futo.org/fdroid/repo/

Sorting a music library is a very manual process. Your best bet is MusicBrainz Picard to clean up your metadata then use something like Lidarr and Lidarr Extended to maintain and continue to add to your library.

Cloudflare’s CAPTCHA is Turnstile. I’ve found it very useful. It doesn’t use pick the image or type the text, it’s just tick the box. You can even set it to invisible, then the user doesn’t need to even do that, the challenge is sent to the browser and is completed automatically.

In terms of privacy, it’s is still Cloudflare, but at least it’s not intrusive to the user experience.

Cloudflare’s Turnstile has an invisible mode that you’re probably using in a lot of places and aren’t aware of it. It provides an invisible challenge to the browser and requires no interaction. I would say no input require in quite user-friendly.

I’ve started using Hoarder and am enjoying it. I really like the page caching and automatic AI tagging so that I don’t have to.

Yes, both SL and addy.io have the feature to enable/disable individual addresses.

They both will automatically create an address on-the-fly. Give a service whatever@domain.tld and it will automatically be generated and sent to your mailbox of choice.

First purchase a domain. Cloudflare is definitely the cheapest but there are other options out there if you don’t want to use Cloudflare.

Use an alias service like SimpleLogin or addy.io. addy.io has a cheaper ‘lite’ (limited) plan, SL has a cheaper ‘premium’ (unlimited) plan.

I have run Jellyfin for about 3 years. Plex has a lot of community support and praise so I spun up a test instance. Unfortunately for Jellyfin, Plex is much most reliable for me in pretty much every way. I would love for Jellyfin to keep improving but the switch to Plex just made the media experience so much nicer.

And a lesson to all as to why backups are essential.

There is with Purelymail. And it’s only $10/year.

Have you tried using Calibre with Readarr? You use Readarr and the request tool then you can tell Readarr to use Calibre to manipulate the library. I find that this does a fantastic job of sorting out all of my ebooks with all their editions and naming conventions.

NVMe isn’t the compactness. That’s just the interface that is used. The form factor is M.2. You can get SATA drives in the M.2 form factor as well. So if you do want an small form factor drive, make sure you look at if it is SATA or NVMe and which one your device supports as they are keyed differently.

I use it in two different ways. If I am using OIDC (e.g. Audiobookshelf), then I will only use Authentik. If I need to use a proxy outpost and pass those credentials to the server (e.g. Navidrome), then I need to use NPM to do that.

I prefer Symphonium. Tempo isn’t nearly featured enough for me just yet.

Generally no, but if your hitting a dead end looking for things on Google/Bing based engines, it doesn’t hurt giving Yandex a shot.

Cloudflare with CloudflareDDNS

Or why I shouldn’t use Jellyfin over Emby.
