  • Why do so many people do this incorrectly. Unless you are actually serving a public then you don’t need to open anything other than a WireGuard tunnel. My phone automatically connects to WireGuard as soon as I disconnect from my home WiFi so I have access to every single one of my services and only have to expose one port and service.

    If you are going through setting up caddy or nginx proxy manager or anything else and you’re not serving a public… you’re dumb.

    What kind of shitty TV takes 30s to turn on? Ive never seen one take that long. Smart functions have literally nothing to do with how fast they turn on. In fact a lot of smart TVs, especially with Roku built in, don’t even really ever power down completely, and when you press power the screen is on and ready almost instantly.

    I also think Android has the best apps… SmartTube, Tivimate, and S0undTV can’t be beat and have no good alternatives on other platforms. I run 4k firesticks that I blocked from updates long ago so I could have my own launcher/home screen instead of the ad riddled default one, but want to upgrade eventually. Been wondering lately how well AndroidTV on x86 runs… couldn’t find anything on YouTube.






  • Syncthing-fork has been recommended over Syncthing for the last few years. That’s what I’ve been running for about that long with no issues. I like having access to a copy of the actual files on the NAS too which a borg backup doesn’t provide unless you do an additional borg mount. Syncthin-fork does other things too, light keeping a keepass database synced on devices. But yeah, nothing syncthing can do over a scheduled rsync script… I just have not found that to be as reliable on Android as it is in Linux.

    Syncthin-fork has never stopped working for me. I would notice because it also puts my pictures into a folder that gets read by immich and I often check immich to look at my photos. I run immich differently than intended where I don’t do the photo backups with it. I only use it as a gallery client on my existing organized directory structure of images. It only has read only access.



  • I like using syncthing. It syncs all my apps that are backed up with neobackup, my pictures, files etc. to my NAS. Then my NAS runs borg on that directory as well as all the other important NAS directories to make the legit backups.

    I have termux installed but I honestly rarely use it. Hate typing on the phone in the terminal… if I need to do it then I’ll just adb connect from my computer and do it from there on a real keyboard.






  • If you don’t mind using your phone then this is how mine is setup.

    I use Microsoft Lens on the phone to make the scans. The folder that Microsoft Lens outputs to is synced to the Paperless consume folder with Syncthing. So basically, all the scans that I take with Microsoft Lens go right into Paperless automatically.

    Even though I also have a printer/scanner, I find myself using my phone more often for convenience even if it does suffer some quality.
