First road bump with #paperless for me today. The permission system is weird. It seems impossible to make a user that can just view documents with a certain tag or from a certain correspondent. Apparently one needs to manually (or automatically on document addition) add that user as "owner". And […]

Hooray @mih, @Gusted cherry-picked your @forgejo patch to configure custom file renderers for compound extensions like .tar.gz! 🥳 https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/5190

Any #ffmpeg experts here? I want to do one simple thing: make certain colors transparent (then alphaextract to feed into tesseract #ocr). That's it. The colorkey filter is perfect, but it seems to be an absolute impossibility if you want more than one color transparent.

Dass man bei der Bahn auch nur 1 Jahr in die Vergangenheit seine Reisen sehen kann ist auch einfach Schikane, oder? 🙄

Wrote my first :rust: #rust program today. A small utility to grab the last value of a matching column in a matching csv file. I had hacked something together with #qsv, #nushell and #python, but those were all too slow for fast repeated calls. This Rust version executes 10-100x faster: a few ms […]

Weilnes letztes Jahr beim #Tübix2025 so gut angekommen war, mache ich wohl beim #Tübix2026 spgar zwei :nixos: #nixos#Tübix2025#Tübix2026orkshops: 1.

Currently fighting with NUT (Network UPS Tools) and an Eaton 3S 850 UPS that should back two machines. It seems letting the driver handle the lowbatt state does not work (might happily suck the battery dry in some situations), one needs to let the Eaton do it (battery.charge.low), which […]

TIL that "compositing" has slowed down my #xfce since forever. I don't see any change after disabling it, just that everything is a lot faster 😅 xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/use_compositing -s false

TIL that in :nixos: #nix, "${./mydir}" will survive a garbage collection, but a plain ./mydir will not! Took me way too long to figure this out. Didn't help that `just` gives a stupid error message about a missing shell when it can't change into its -d working directory. 🤦 […]

Added instructions how to set up the #ausweisapp for the German #personalausweis on :nixos: #nixos, for using the mobile app or a ReinerSCT USB card reader to scan the Personalausweis. https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/AusweisApp

TIL that some #caldav servers just silently ignore your precious X-whatever fields 😑 Well I guess I'll have to teach caldav-event-pusher¹ to first check which fields survive an event upload... ¹https://gitlab.com/nobodyinperson/caldav-event-pusher

TIL that #vim can edit files *inside* a zip file. 🤯

Today I managed to set up a #copyparty instance as a frontend for a remote sftp mount, reverse proxied with #nginx for TLS encryption, on :nixos: #nixos. Oh boy was that a wild ride. 😮‍💨 Copyparty itself is funny and you need a bit to understand its config style. It needs a whole lot of proxy […]

:nixos: #nixos module to regularly upload media from channels team #mattermost to #Immich: https://gitlab.com/nobodyinperson/yannix/-/blob/ede57c4326b47225d3df9aba57bdb1ca6b6d128f/OPTIONS.md#servicesmattermostuploadmediatoimmichenable

For the record: There really is no tool to find files of certain mime types? Like `find --mime 'image|video'`? One really has to resort to calling `file` and grepping? I find that very hard to believe. 🤨

Today I peeled away the already wrecked metal casing of the Samsung BAR USB drive, noticed that the actual USB thing really is just the µSD-card sized blue insert inside the metal case, plugged it into a USB port, wondered why it didn't show up, took it out and burned the hell out of my fingers […]

I will be able to publish my dissertation including all my articles fully #openaccess under CC-BY-4.0, nice! 👌 #phdlife #creativecommons

Augenarzttermin mit K1 (3.5). Was für eine Tortur mit diesen krassen pupillenweitenden brennenden Augentropfen. Drei mal, alle zehn Minuten, soll man die in das Kind reinkriegen, weil sonst der Augentest nicht geht. Und danach noch ewig an drei verschiedenen Augengeräten rumtun. Kind ist ein […]

The :nixos: #nixos module option services.borgbackup.jobs.repo should definitely take multiple target repos. It's already pretty annoying to stop a service during backup, but using multiple borgbackup.jobs to back up to another remote for example is a nightmare. 😩

I currently do backups by stopping the service, running #borgbackup, the restarting the service. This has several downsides: - services are down for the runtime of borg, which can be considerable (minutes to hours) depending on the data volume and backup target. - due to this slowness I haven't […]

#infcloud hasn't been updated for a decade, yikes. But apparently it's still the *only* available statically servable (i.e. no database / no PHP / whatever) #caldav #carddav web client out there. 😱 The code is also... interesting. There's so much hard-coding going on, but maybe that's how you […]

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@nobodyinperson/116085391845713239 I finally fixed it. It was #xfce starting its own the ssh-agent. It can be disabled like this (or via a #homemanager equivalent): xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /startup/ssh-agent/enabled -n -t bool -s false […]

Something on my NixOS is starting `ssh-agent -s` (PID1) and it drives me mad because I can't find what it is. I use programs.ssh.startAgent=true, which sets the SSH_AUTH_SOCK=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/ssh-agent, which I want. In the dumb tty (CTRL+ALT+F2) I get that value. Interactively in XFCE I get […]

I noticed that the aarch64 git annex standalone build test suite (emulated on NixOS under x86_64) is *far* slower than the the nixpkgs-provided one: > nix run nixpkgs#legacyPackages.aarch64-linux.git-annex test # ... takes ~8min > nix run gitlab:nobodyinperson/yannix#packages.aarch64-linux […]

I made a utility to bulk-upload calendar entries to a #caldav server from a JSON file: https://pypi.org/project/caldav-event-pusher/ #python

TIL that #Immich hard-codes all its paths into its postgresql database. What a nightmare for migrations. None of the tasks in the UI helped. Tried replacing it in the db, no chance. Had to resort to bind mounting shenanigans.

Oh wow #mattermost sends out notifications based on trigger words, so if you '@user1234 someone, user123 will also get notified 🤦

Currently fighting an exhausting fight trying to get #mattermost send emails out correctly. I nearly had it, then noticed the #unibonn mail server will always spam them. 😩

After a recent *terrible* first attempt at using matrix as communication platform for our rather big measurement campaign in summer, I just tried selfhosting Mattermost, and boy is it a smoother experience. It's as if it was made for team collaboration, funny eh 😅 Also my first time trying out […]

More radicale goodness on :nixos: NixOS: services.radicale.git can now sync regularly and on change via radicale with multiple remotes. Currently, it'll prioritise the remote's state in case of conflicts. It's so amazing to have a git history of your calendar and addressbook! 🤩 […]

What the heck is wrong with :matrix: #matrix? We're looking for a platform for communication during a larger measurement campaign and from the featureset concluded with either #mattermost or Matrix (subgroups, archivable, mobile/desktop/web clients, etc.). But the #elementx app and #fluffychat […]

Hi :gitannex: #git and #gitAnnex crowd. How do I configure git so a `git annex assist` (or the assistant) will *never* stop in a merge conflict? It should just choose one side, I don't care about conflicts. @joeyh @musicmatze @datalad @matrss

Full-sharing a #radicale calendar between users is simple with just symlinks. I guess one could do a readonly bind mount instead to get the same but without wrote access? 🤔 Radicale does have configurable rules to control such access, but those have one major flow: the accessible collections of […]

RE: https://flipboard.com/@heiseonline/wissen-hapq5a2fz/-/a-PjNb7TaoTVW2EVnTqOpKrQ%3Aa%3A2831390041-%2F0 Was für eine absurde Frage... 🫠

services.radicale.git.enable=true now makes nicer commit messages, for events and contacts it will list the name and even describe renames. Proof of concept, written in bash/awk. It'll be hard to write a diff-parser that covers all kinds of changes, I guess […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

[depol] Der CDU macht Wahlkampf mit Lesen Schreiben RECHNEN. Ah, weil die CDU das ja so gut kann! (Spahn Maskenaffäre, Wärmepumpen-Blockade, Gaskathi Gasspeicher Tanz, Hochleistungs-Verbrenner, ...) 🙄

Ooooh, you can easily full-share calendars of a #radicale instance between accounts by just symlinking them into other users' directories. Everyone then 'owns' that calendar and can do anything. Paired with the #git hook, this then gives you a very fine-grained log of who changed what and when. 🤩

Trying #radicale to selfhost my calendar and addressbook and having a pretty terrible time. Every calendar action takes 10 seconds even to radicale running on localhost because apparently Thunderbird sends the entire calendar at once on every update wtf. 🤦

If you were wondering what happened with the #syncthing android fork drama that happened some time ago, seems that the dust has settled. https://forum.syncthing.net/t/does-anyone-know-why-syncthing-fork-is-no-longer-available-on-github/25661/251 #syncthingFork #fdroid #security #opensource […]

If you have an #sqlite-backed #paperless consume your email attachments, you'll frequently run into "database locked" errors. It'll retry next time, so you'll get there eventually, but still annoying. Might need to migrate to a #postgresql db or write the email watcher myself to put it into the […]

Great, an amazing chain of events and maybe unfortunate UI design in #davx5 resulted in me deleting our shared #carddav addressbook - server side, no backups (no mercy) of course. My rescue attemps of copying contacts around in #thunderbird (why does 'export' make an effing lossy CSV without […]
