I got put off by how complex that was and that you need to do exactly what you described. So no, I didn’t.

I managed telegram tough, and still that was not the most pleasant experience.

I did a few.months ago. Quite a mess, but got it to work at the end of the day.

My experience is described here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Asynapse

What?

There is no real need for GPU, since its not ideal to use GPU for storage. GPU transcoding is better suited for streaming, and it has lower quality than CPU transcoding.

Anyway, just enable it by setting the proper ffmpeg flags as stated in the readme and there you go.

Well, you need to set the specific ffmpeg flags as stated in the readme… If you already know them, its easy.

Glad I helped!

Let me know how it goes! Happy to help if I can.

Thats more than totally fine, its why I shared it!

Hope it will help

IMU, GPU encoding is for streaming: it aims at fast, not so great, output quality without CPU usage. Exactly what you are getting.

Don’t use GPU encoding for storage… CPU encoding is much better.

Edit: since its aimed at streaming, GPU encoding only needs to achieve real time performance, no need to go any faster. CPU encoding instead can go as fast as your cores can push.

Using unbound on opnSense with blacklists. Works wonders and do not require an additional device.

Went to try pfSense. Need to register to their shop to buy a free download link.

Then during installation it won’t install unless it can phone home and report.

OpnSense all the way.

Than you for your very appreciated feedback. Feel free to DM/PM me for anything related.

I keep a wiki on all that I do.

This is the page on radicale: here

This is the more general page on reverse proxy here

And so on, Check the sidebar.

I mostly write it so that in future I remember what I did and how I did it, but I use some unusual techniques compared to the mainstream point of view from this community, so keep that in mind.

Gentoo linux with Radicale on bare metal. Radicale is behind NGINX reverse proxy that slaps HTTPS and authelia redirect for authentication on top.

And of course i use DAV5X on android.

Never had an issue with caldav and cardav. Maybe you are using broken servers or clients?

Even notes can be done efficiently on those standards…

But, hey, I am using only FOSS server and clients, maybe you referring to proprietary ones? You know, those who are mare by vendors who have no interest in interoperability?

Good to know! I tried, but I guess I need to uninstall Garmin connect first…

Amazing stuff!

Home Assistant with a bunch of ZigBee sensors?

Go https, today there is no real reason not to and tons of good reasons to do it.

Let’s encrypt is 100% free and using their certbot its also automated and easy to do.

The open source market for smart watches sucks. Gadget bridge doesn’t really work for any “new” (i might be wrong here) devices.

Luckly Garmin watches are top notch and the software side its pretty good. You can not install the app and manually download all activities files via USB if you like.
