A secure Linux phone would be the ultimate goal I think.

SherpaTTS is what you are looking for. Uses the same Piper voices I think. Sherpa is what I use on my grapheneos phone google free.

Pretty sure it's the range and charge times. Especially in the Midwest. I need a car that can take me to Florida in under 16 hours. Also I own a EV

Why don't they just put the actual map on their site? The video and slider map make usa canada and mexico look like islands..

Thanks. I figured it would be apps I have never heard of and/or the free ones which are known to do that.

My Sudo Desktop - Linux? (anonyome.com)
 

Has anyone figured out how to get mysudo desktop to work on Linux? Wine or something? Their lack of desktop is what had me switch to another provider. However I don't use mac or windows. Especially the windows store. 😅

Majority of the original libgen seem to be down according to open slum. So this post seems generally correct.

Restore immich photo backup? (self.selfhosted)
 

I have been backing up the photos folder for my immich. Something weird happened with one of my hard drives so i had to restore. It has a folder for each year and inside there is a folder for each day. immich doesnt support the ability to drag and drop the year folder into the UI. What's the best way to get all my media back into immich?

HDD spins but OS doesnt see mountable disk (self.selfhosted)
 

The primary OS for this disk was Unraid. Its formated in BTRFS. I don't think either of those matter. The disk spins and worked before the reboot. But now. No matter what machine, port or cable I use its not mountable. Is there anything I can try? I was going to attempt Spinrite on it however it doesn't see anything either. Thanks! Its a HGST drive dated May2019

Selfhosted Wireless Cameras (self.selfhosted)

I currently have a couple of (amazon) Blink cameras. I would like similar cameras but that are self hosted. Yes these basically are however the HW-Sync module sucks its slow. I've tried other chinese brands which are slower. I was about to buy the Eufy Homebase setup it seemed perfect easy low power cameras. However their "self hosted" solution has issues working with out internet.

It seems like there should be a selfhosted Blink camera replacement. I like the form factor of the blink cameras. The eufy were nice because they had solar options.

Anyone have any experience here? I'd love to use POE but Im too old and busy to run cable through my new house now.

Edit: When I say wireless I mean battery operated as well. Sorry, not just wifi.

Anyone have experience with these boards? Thanks.

What is the best, money is no factor solution for monitoring home energy. The goal is no cloud. I was using a zwave solution however it keeps falling off the network and now I cant get it back on. Looking to upgrade.

Edit: I live in the states.

Privacy respecting location sharing?(find my friends) (self.privacy)
 

My family currently uses life360(iOS and android). But I hate their privacy policy. I'm looking for an alternative. The thing that's difficult is I can't find one that's opt in to each other. Like my parents are split so they dont want to share with each other but the rest of us do. Prefer selfhosted but anything is better that where we are at. Thanks!!
