That (folder with files) is pretty much what an obsidian vault is, except it’s markdown files (of which text files are a subset). Should just import in with zero issues.

I just syncthing the obsidian vault, works for me…

Yeah, I have “Analyze Video Files” on, doesn’t get me a list of substandard files though, just sends the arr after stuff it’s probably already not finding.

tdarr

Hadn’t seen the Property search in here before, might get me most of the way there. Got it around somewhere, might have to spin it back up. Maybe I can raid it’s database as well. Thanks.

So, unless I didn’t dive deep enough, Configarr / Trash guides is mostly about setting up quality profiles and media paths and so forth, something I long ago sorted out to my satisfaction.

What I guess I was after was something to find stuff that has fallen through the cracks, highlighting stuff that doesn’t meet my standards and seeing whether I care enough to go looking for upgrades.

Strangely there doesn’t seem to be a simple app to run ffprobe over your library and populate a database for querying video quality, maybe I’ll get around to knocking one out one day, but today is not that day.

I don’t want to balloon the project

Fair cop, and no I haven’t really dived into Configarr and the trash guides (although I vaguely remember coming across them), oh joy, another rabbit hole. I do try to keep a simple stack, and what I have has served me well for years. But thanks, no need to reinvent the wheel if that handles my use case.

Having smaller projects with specific scope that do something well and can be plugged together is always preferable to some sprawling monstrosity. Used to be called the Unix way (pipe sed into awk etc.) and could stand to be revisited today. Best of luck.

I had a quick look, I think I could find a use for it but what I’d most be interested in is a dry run spitting out a list of missing / low res / low bitrate / stereo (I much prefer 5.1+), perhaps old codec, etc. media. Like many I have my own standards for what needs to be how good and so forth.

Ideally I could edit said list and put it back in as an active search list (perhaps chunking and prioritizing as well and iterating the process). Seems like this is 90% of the way there, any chance of an enhancement ?

Bit reluctant to just let someone else’s code go ham on my media library without a me in the loop step.

(but not necessarily the Ubuntu, Fedora, or Mint desktop).

Rut. Thanks for ruining my day, sigh. That shit better be a patch away from removal / spoofing…

Where is the NFC sensor in the phone compared to the charger ring ? with any luck you can physically position the tag off the charging stand but still have it pickup. If not put it next to the charger, tap and use tasker or whatever to detect charging within a certain time, combined with the tag detection and send to HA. Tap again after charging to turn off.

Doing your research beforehand instead of diving in and working it out as you go (extends beyond the digital space as well). Probably less fun, but far more efficient, bop those known unknowns people.

“I should have gathered all of the necessary things ahead of time.”

Also known as a staging area.

This, but also remember that never touching games with that sort of crap, on principle, is an option as well.

And ideally the storage will be encrypted and have basic privacy assurances.

Why would you trust a company to encrypt for you when Cryptomator exists ?

Also, a couple of 4TB drives for cold backup (one offsite) avoids another subscription.

Do you not get ‘open on the internet’? All the three letter agencies hoover the data up, your countries equivalents do as well, other companies. It’s only a bit in one companies hands, because it’s ‘open on the internet’, just like xitter, facebook, tiktok, their walled gardens don’t stop state level actors, just us plebs (a bit). That just leaves control (in real time), some power, some money there, but long term it’s the data that counts.

Agreed. They’re both open on the internet and the data is in many repositories. Moot point (OPs’, not yours).

Micro SD card tray

removed for profit motive pushing you to cloud ongoing revenue (much as I want it, wierdly Sony XPeria is the holdout of the mains here, I guess for music). A script or two can fix that by cycling content through what you have.

Likely the last, likely there’s a rugpull (they can chose to stop providing security updates), but as advertised good for 7 years! gOS is a worthy aspiration, I’m thinking of updating, don’t want anything else until, and if, linux phone happens.

But yeah, there’s a bit of naivete here, the rubber hose (cryptanalysis) was also a reference to the xkcd

“all laws are local, and no law knows how local it is”, which is to say it on the user to understand their local legal (and political) situation. It’s a big world.

Valid in many cases (hence the rubber hose quip), I was merely responding to above. It does have use as a quick way to burn it all down before any requests are made.

Plugins are now a popup at the end of the address bar, works for me, although most commonly used are still in the toolbar, which looks cluttered because of it. Still happy with the get out of the way design philosophy.

FWIW gOS has a duress PIN baked in. Doesn’t stop the rubber hose but at least you can be smug ;}
