How are you guys keeping track of your personal inventory?
  • I tried Grocy for a while, but eventually stopped. Data entry was a huge pain.

    Using the iOS companion app to scan grocery items into the app resulted in data issues that prevented me updating the item in the web app later. The only recourse was to add the items by hand in the web app, but then go in to each one separately with the mobile app to register the barcode. This also resulted in losing the additional metadata about the products that the mobile app would automatically configure if you onboarded the items through the mobile app, as it was able to look up additional data online and prefill a lot of stuff.

    At the end of the day, it was too much of a hassle. I do like the idea, and may come back to Grocy again, but for now I have to pass.

  • Why do so many people use NGINX?
  • Yeah it's Traefik for me as well! Heavy docker user, of course - it's nice just tossing some labels into my Portainer stacks and letting Traefik figure it out. If I wasn't so invested with containers I'd be using nginx.

  • Docker configs destroyed after update [resolved!]
  • You didn’t happen to change an unprivileged container to privileged, or vice versa, after creating it, right? Doing so can break filesystem permissions, which could have resulted in something like this.

  • Radarr lists
  • That’s how it works. I don’t think many people use the option.

    If it helps, you could choose the keep and unmonitor option, and then once you’ve confirmed that it does indeed impact movies not on your lists (by unmonitoring them), you can disable the cleaning option (or choose a better option for you) and update all your movies back to Monitored.

  • Passkeys might really kill passwords
  • Coming up with a simple formula is a big security risk. It makes your passwords easier to brute force, and with enough entropy, probably easy to guess as well.

    And what happens if the password is breached? Do you change the formula? What happens if a site requires a password change? Even if the formula accounts for versioning/iterating, how do you remember which iteration you’re on?

    Extra security with 2FA I agree with, but that’s not mutually exclusive to using a password manager.

    And are password managers really single points of failure? These password managers can sync to multiple devices, so your data is generally safe. If someone gets your password manager password, that’s a problem, yes, but they’d need access to your device to view anything, as installing on another device requires a separate master key to set it all up (which should not be stored digitally anywhere).

  • Games you wish you could experience again for the first time.
  • I didn’t find all the parts to the Cyclops on my first play until I was like an hour away from finishing the game. So months later I played it again, so that I could find the Cyclops sooner. Definitely didn’t feel as magical the second time around, even with my shiny new sub.

  • The Witcher 4 will enter its production phase this year, and CD Projekt Red confirms it won't be using AI to replace developers
  • 20 years ago I worked for a grocery company that introduced self checkout terminals. Corporate messaging was that no jobs would be lost. They now run 6 self checkouts in most stores with a single clerk managing them.

    It may be true that they didn’t directly let anyone go, but even if they just let attrition do the job, those positions are gone and never coming back.

  • What are your multiplayer rules/strategies?

    Every time a new update drops, my friends and I set up a server and play together.

    We have some basic rules, like don’t touch each others factories. And we have strategies like building a shared rail system where we set up stations at our personal factories to trade manufactured items with each other.

    Does anyone else do this kind of thing? If so, what rules do you play by, and what other things do you do in general, to make it fun in a multiplayer setting?

    Trade in question: switch from iPhone to S23 ultra or wait for s24 ultra?
  • If saving money is a concern, and I had an iPhone 12 (actually I do, but just the regular Pro, not the Max) then I’d stick with what I had, for a number of reasons. The big two being a) existing investment in the ecosystem - most of us have spent hundreds of dollars on apps over the years, and b) the iPhone 12 is not bad tech, and should last for years with nothing more than a battery replacement.

  • Why so many *arr services? Why not 1 service that works with all media types?
  • It's not as relevant today as it used to be, that's for sure. Originally it was to limit transcoding of 4K content (which used to be a lot harder), and also to avoid the HDR tone mapping issues with 4K content during transcoding, both of which are largely resolved with newer hardware and Plex software updates.

    The only reason I keep them separated now is because most of the folks I share with can't direct stream 4K content anyway, and so I only share out the 1080p libraries in Plex. It keeps bandwidth usage down and limits having to go to hardware transcoding, which can reduce quality and introduces startup delays. The library I use locally indexes both the 1080p and 4K content, so Plex will always prefer the 4K if it's there.

    If diskspace ever became an issue, I'd probably consider merging the libraries again.
