(looking for) specific type of web chat
  • wooow nice - first relevant answer! thx

  • (looking for) specific type of web chat
  • well - I connect to WIN machine every 5years … I really don’t know compatibility of SSH on it. And i’m not planning to learn - on the other hand - browser is always there

  • (looking for) specific type of web chat
  • let’s just assume thatI know what security risks are.

    now let’s follow you idea- so what would be first step? I need to keep running whole instance of nextcloud for a few minutes where I transfer data. what would be the URL I need to access on remote machine? If it some domain with additional parameters in it - I’m trying it, and even if I do.., do I need to TYPE my username and password then? I don’t remember when I lost time type my password somewhere… not to mention that usually systems have some weird keyboard layout and I’m spending hours finding & sign on it :/ not ideal at all

  • (looking for) specific type of web chat

    many times I find myself in situations where I’m on some computer which is totally isolated - friends computer, completely newly installed (VM), some corporate remote desktop where I can’t install anything — and I need to transfer some information to this computer.

    Ideally what I would have is:

    • some sort of web chat
    • self hosted (so that I can spin it up only when I need it, and that I can “destroy” all the data after each session)
    • simple URL where you specify a room name edit it (eg.: domain.com/qck-321)
    • on open you specify username (no other authentication)
    • first person who joins needs to confirm all the others (so people can’t just “drop in”)
    • no fancy technology (web sockets,…)

    what I found so far:

    • https://tlk.io/ - quite close but not all points
    • https://chitchatter.im/ - this one is quite promising but unfortunately it failed me on first windows remote machine (probably due to some firewall rule)

    I’m more that prepared to develop something my self but first I would like to check if there is really nothing out there to solve this.

    Bonus question- do you have any other approach - how do you transfer (potentially sensitive) information to a “isolated” machine?

    Switching between profiles

    Hello I just moved (from Brave) to Vivaldi and I have to say I quite like it.

    But I have also quite a big blocker.

    I use my browser with two profiles (this I was able to also do in Vivaldi) but I want to use some sort of shortcuts to switch between two Vivaldi windows (each running it own profile).

    On Brave (or Chrome) I was able to do this by setting name of the browser and together with Context (window switcher) I just wrote 3 letters of the name and I was moved to that window. But now I just see [Title of the curent tab] - Vivaldi for all of them.

    Is there a way (can be some other, using some other software) to switch to a specific window which is running specific Profile?

    How should I implement 2nd backup for my config
  • (on Proxmox side) why is this better then just doing backups to external hard drive? there is the same functionality but with hassle of running additional service.

    Can you give me a bit more details in "The rpi could pull both storages..." part?

  • How should I implement 2nd backup for my config
  • Where should I install it? I guess raspi is not sutable

  • How should I implement 2nd backup for my config

    Here is my setup:

    • I have two proxmox installations (totally not related) on totally different locations
    • on both instances I have a few CTs and VMs
    • on both instances I run "backup job" where I create backup to a external USB drive - this is a "first" backup from where I can quickly restore if needed

    What I want:

    • I want to have a separate (off-site) backup
    • I have Raspberry PI with 5TB USB storage
    • I want to use this raspi for both Proxmoxs

    What would be the best solution for this?

    What I was thinking (I don't think this is the most elegant solution):

    • install tailscale on raspi
      • (same on both proxmoxs)
      • create CT and install tailscale on it
      • in some interval push backup file form proxmox to CT and then this CT pushes backup over tailscale to raspi

    edit: spelling

    Looking for a app/service to save webpages
  • nice, i’ll check it out

  • Looking for a app/service to save webpages
  • Right - maybe I wasn't clear enough - I'm looking for something where I can dump any URL which I find any where - aka.: just scrolling the web (not just lemmy/mastodon/fediverse)

  • Looking for a app/service to save webpages
  • What is your workflow if you find something on mobile and you want to save it to omnivore?

  • Looking for a app/service to save webpages
  • doesn't this just cover mastodon? what about everything else?

  • Looking for a app/service to save webpages
  • can you quickly explain wait is your workflow if you find sth using mobile phone? do you copy URL, switch to service and paste it there?

  • Looking for a app/service to save webpages

    Problem: I scroll on lemmy, I talk to friends, I see some interesting page, project, funny meme or something else. (when I was on reddit i pressed SAVE, when I was on Instagram I pressed PIN (or something) and now I’m stuck with (uncategorised) information all over the place.

    My current idea is: push everything to Telegram group where my bot listens, take the URL, maybe even extract some data and save it somewhere. 90% of my input will be over the phone but here and there also PC.

    Any suggestions for self-hosted service to dump data in our (even better) to even skip whole bot part altogether?

    UPDATE: Maybe I was a bit unclear. I want to "save" URLs and also somehow tag/categorize them. So I think plain bookmarks won't cut it, also flow is important (on mobile), switching copy/paste is to much hassle.

    Thanks!
  • I really thought that I was NOT old fart… but since I remember lowering coax (not LAN) cable to my buddy one floor below over the window to play AOE… I guess I am :)

  • I put this in EVERY room! Smart room detection 😲
  • did anyone tried this?

    Did anyone tried this? If so - what are results?
