  • Have you tried it with a Roku? My pi.hole blocks most things, but I haven’t yet tried to completely block it from the Internet. In the past, I’ve had to allow some domains through my pi.hole or things would be completely broken, but that hasn’t happened in a while…

    I suppose I’d have to occasionally unblock it to get updates to the jellyfin app, which is doable.

    Yeah, that is what I am thinking. I am using duplicity for backups, so I can probably back up to a hard-drive, take that to work, sync it to my backup provider, then just do incremental backups from then on.

    However, I think duplicity really wants to do full backups every X months, so I’m not sure the best way to handle that.

    I have started doing something completely different than using bookmarks. I set up yacy on a personal, internal server at my home, which I can access from all my devices, since they are always on my wireguard vpn.

    Yacy is actually a distributed search engine, but I run in ‘Robinson mode’ as a private peer, to keep it isolated, as I just want a personal search of only sites I have indexed.

    Anytime I come across something of interest, I index it with yacy, using a a depth of 0 (since I only want to index that one page, not the whole site). This way, I can just go to my search site, and search for something, and anything related that I’ve indexed before pops up. I found this works way better than trying to manage bookmarks with descriptions and tags.

    Also, yacy will keep a cache of the content which is great if the site ever goes offline or changes.

    If I need to browse, I can go use yacy’s admin tools to see all the urls I have indexed.

    I have been using this for several months and I am using this way more than I ever used my bookmarks.

    My biggest issue with Nextcloud is there is no LTS version. Employees do NOT like things constantly changing, and Nextcloud has some pretty major changes every 4-6 months. As an admin you really have to keep up to date, or you run into trouble, not just with security, but with trying to upgrade later, as you can’t upgrade across major versions.

    In my opinion, a 2-3 year supported LTS version would make Nextcloud way more attractive to hosting in stable environments.
