Looking for a way to search a dictionary using English and Devanagari script?
  • I don't think I'm getting it right, but isn't it just a matter of checking the character set in the query and determining if it belongs to English or Devnagri part of Unicode and applying transliteration if the query is in English.

    If you are looking for a self hosted Devnagri transliteration tool, look into AI4Bharat, a tool developed by IIT Madras.

  • How can I send 50gb+ file over internet to friend?
  • I've set up tailscale in the past week and fallen in love with the ease of use. So, this has my vote too. But, if i was doing this, i would chop the file into, say, 500mb parts using 7z or WinZip and then transfer it through SCP (WinSCP if using windows) over tailscale IPs.

  • Hobbies Wednesday - what have you done this week? Can be anything from cooking to tabletop rpg to gardening, scuba diving, etc.
  • I am slowly moving towards making a planetarium of my own. Was able to get the dome done using PVC pipes. I'm figuring out the best way to put a screen that'll be somewhat strong, smooth and good enough to project upon. Biggest hurdle is getting a particular fisheye lens that is suitable for the purpose.

  • How do I make my immich available publicly?
  • Thanks, I'll figure the best way out based on the responses.

    And lol, I did not know about goDaddy being this bad since this was the first time I purchased a domain. Is it possible to move domains from one provider to another or do I have to wait for it to expire and then register on the other provider?

  • How do I make my immich available publicly?
  • I have used reverse proxy in office setup where my local IP was NATed to a dedicated public IP. But in my home lab, I don't have a dedicated public IP. So, i need to figure a way around that.

  • How do I make my immich available publicly?

    I have self hosted immich on Debian on my homelab. I have also setup tailscale to be able to access it outside my home.

    Sometime ago, I was able to purchase a domain of my choice from GoDaddy. While I am used to hosting stuff on Linux, I've never exposed it for access publicly. I want to do that now.

    Is it something I can do within tailscale or do I need to setup something like cloudflare? What should I be searching for to learn and implement? What precautions to take? I would like to keep the tailscale thing too.

    PS: I would like to host immich as a subdomain like photos.mydomain.com.

    Thanks!

    Self-hosting Photo Alternatives
  • I'm scared to these 'breaking changes' even though I'm not exactly a self hosting newbie. That's because I don't have a proper 3-2-1 backup and I'm afraid I might lose my photos or settings. I've been exploring of setting up immich through a homeserver management tool like runtipi that allows taking backups separately that can be reverted to, in case something goes wrong. Anyone aware of any negatives about that?

  • what's the latest image in your download folder?
  • Yes, aka Antipodes map . Very useful in case you are interested in makingEarth Sandwich. A place not very far from me has its antipode on a tiny but touristy island. I'm thinking of contacting the popular hotels on the island to put a flyer in their lobby in case anyone is interested in making the sandwich.

  • How to image a Debian system on a zfs mirror?
  • Phew! I almost believed I was asking for something beyond the scope of linux-fu. English not being my first language may be part of the reason but still I think I covered everything that was relevant.

    Yes, that's exactly what I want and your post has given me the clarity I needed. M.2 wifi slots don't support disks so that option is definitely out. I'm going to boot with the latest Ubuntu live OS on a USB and attempt what you've outlined.

    I don't have anything really critical on the zfs that is not backed up separately so I'm definitely going to attempt this and learn in the process.

    Thank you for taking the time to respond!

  • How to image a Debian system on a zfs mirror?

    I have set up a refurbished PC as a media PC with storage. The OS, Debian, is on an m.2 nvme disk of 256 GB. I have connected 2x4TB risks in zfs mirror mode to store my media.

    Off late, while booting, I've noticed some messages that suggest that the health of nvme disk is not good. Searching the error, i realised that I should not rely on it. I've done a number of tweaks to set up my system the way I like that I want to save by creating an image of the OS drive on a fresh nvme disk of same size that I have.

    How do I go about doing it? I could boot using a live USB and create the image on the HDDs but the live USB OS won't recognise my zfs, right? Is using another external disk or another PC my only option here?

    Thanks and cheers!

    PS: The machine is a HP Elitedesk 800 G3 that has a wifi port that I've heard can be used as additional port for m.2 drives. Is it true?

    Can I pick your collective brains about an idea for a home cooling solution that I have thought of?

    I'm planning to construct a home sometime in the near future in hot, arid part of the country. Obviously, keeping the home cool is a major concern and I've been considering all available options.

    One of the recurrent ideas discussed online is using geothermal cooling. But I think I don't have enough land to implement it. I have a related idea though.

    Water supplied during set hours of the day by the municipality is fairly cool even during the summer months and it is a common practice around here to first let it collect in an underground tank and then pump it to the overhead tank as needed.

    What if I create a closed loop system of circulating water with two car radiators: one in the underground tank, submerged in cool water and another in the living area of the home with a fan blowing behind it.

    Do you think it'll cause perceptible change in room temperature if there is, say, a temperature difference of 10 degrees Celsius between water and ambiance? I intend it to only reduce the load on the air conditioners and/or just delay the use of AC.

    What kind of math/physics will be needed to assess if this is a feasibility? I tried looking hard but could not find anyone else discussing this idea, so I'm reaching out to you guys.

    Thank you for your time.
