You can, but you can also run into some issues if you have git LFS, if one rejects for whatever reason, or sometimes just branch issues.
Thats why I prefer to go to one repo and push out from there, but it is absolutely doable with git by itself.

Be aware that you may need to temporarily use reolink’s app to set it up first - turn on the ports, for rtsp/onvif/http(s) then you can trash the app.
I think the HA integration will use the proprietary port/api for setup and you can avoid that way too, but don’t quote me on that one, you may want to confirm first.


I’m with you, I don’t like having to do the same thing more than once
I set up an “about my repos” repo, which has a readme detailing the process, and explanations of what is where and what they are all for, which is what I point clients to. That also has a link to my personal forgejo to demo local git as well (which can also sync, btw) along with a note that it may be down for various reasons like updates or changes I’m making, which is why I also sync elsewhere.
Depending on what services you’re selling to clients, it makes for a neat and simple addition to the list of skills to demo!
And you’re kind of making me want to use a mini rack as an excuse to my wife for a 3d printer, but she already knows I’m not getting rid of my 12-15RU racks under my desks, so I’m going to have to wait until we find the property we want so I can build my workshop…


I totally get that
Quick heads up - codeberg has an option to auto push changes to github, or the other way around with a github action (I prefer codeberg first)
May want to give it a try, from a client perspective you can also use that to note that a distributed approach provides resiliency (and now it becomes a selling point too)
With the app, yes, if you enabled notifications with thumbnails. Using the app and giving cameras internet access is the issue there. Deleted data stayed longer than people expected, too.
The crappy generated URLs for camera access was eufy’s fault, but thumbnails in notifications from the app I would consider a user ignorance issue personally.
That said I do not ever recommend using any manufacturer’s app, or giving a camera internet access. Isolate it on a vlan, firewall it off, and use a local open source NVR that you’ll access directly.
Reolink, Amcrest, and Eufy (only for their newer PoE line, they have a nice multi-lens feature and on-device processing for identification).
Shitty hard right rich douche put together dotfiles for arch, called it a distro, and was given lots of money from 1password.
DHH being a hard right rich douche is not news, but 1password giving $300k to aforementioned hard right asswipe is recent news.
Thats a reasonable summary IMO.


How is everything set up? Do you have a quick diagram or anything you can share? I’d like to understand how you have proxmox with a cert but not the rest, or what you mean by your own certs - like from LE? Where is your wildcard cert coming from?
There’s only one Jellyfin instance, its just additional libraries as mentioned.
Well, kind of, I have other JF instances as lxc’s but not for that reason.
Multiple sonarr instances, multiple radarr instances, one prowlarr, one qbittorrent, etc.
And one JF instance with different libraries for each.
You’ll need multiple instances, which is what I do for different reasons.


Conferencing hardware from lightware (upstairs) and crestron (downstairs). Not something worth bothering with though, just get a CEC adapter like the pulse eight.
You can try streamyfin which is enabled by default, but what’s likely happening is that your phone is disabling it as a background app. I’d check your phone settings for power management/pausing background apps. I can tell you that audio only playback with the screen off and as a background app works just fine with JF (official client), I was just using it that way earlier today.
Thats a client config issue not a server issue.
Go to settings > client settings, enable the background audio with the checkbox:



When companies decommission their hardware, they go to a large scale “recycler”. Most of the time that means pulling the drive on the PCs and maybe dropping another in before reselling it for less.
Some companies also recycle things like digital signage players, which could be purpose built hardware and mostly useless or purpose built software and fairly useful if you know what to check for. Or sometimes speakers, audio dsp’s, monitors, etc.
Other times when a company is being liquidated (like being sold off to pay for debts), it’ll get auctioned off. You don’t get to look at the details much (maybe one device pulled out in front of the crate the rest are in), you are buying in quantity, etc, but there can be good finds there.
I’m big on making use of perfectly good hardware with just a few years on them.


My answer is… excessive. So keep that in mind. If its just you or you and another adult, just set up kodi in some form.
I wanted something that would have profiles for my kids, a remote, and easy access. Where I am currently is:
The experience is pretty decent, just login and browse. In any case, this is the (overly complex) way I’ve addressed things for me. That said, a few notes / to-do items:


Well you can build models yourself, but definitely not the ones they are using. Those you can modify, but thats about it, as you said.


One thing I’d note is what sourcehut has done is far beyond what codeberg has, specifically this part:
original content written with or which facilitates the use of LLMs (large language models) or other generative AI technologies
What codeberg did was the first part - content written with LLMs, though even that is “mostly”. Sourcehut goes way more restrictive.
And a shot out to @[email protected] for BentoPDF! Glad to have you here and an awesome tool to boot.


I generally don’t ever look at dashboards, only historical data, and only after an issue.
I get an alert that there is an issue, and if its an issue thats happened before, there is an automation to address (this is why I look at historical data, to determine indicators).
So I never need to look on a mobile dashboard, because the only thing I’m interested in is the notification. The only way that isn’t going to work is if I have a larger outage, but I get a notification through work for that - I have a site-to-site setup so I could attach a switch to my work network for work reasons, and if that goes down I get a notification through my work setup (and vice-versa, which was a fun morning when that side went down).
