And I genuinely hope it stays that way for years more to come. Cheers.
Oracle Cloud will also delete your shit for the price of admission.
Caveat emptor, hey?
So, uh…
Digital Ocean Is pretty inexpensive at US$7 monthly for 1 vCPU/1GB RAM with 1TB transfer. Decent platform. US-based, alas.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Anyone automate anything with smart thermostats and outdoor temp?English
4·3 months agoI have some logic around notifications and a few actions. My spouse and I both grew up in houses with heat, but no AC, so I’ve programmed HA to send notifications to our phones if the setpoint on our Ecobee thermostat is warmer than the outside temperature in Cooling mode, and cooler than the outside temp in Heating mode. Outdoor temps are a blend of three weather service feed “feels like” observations and two outdoor temperate/humidity sensors.
The outdoor sensors are a ZigBee sensor, and some area sensors I snoop a few times an hour with an RTL-SDR radio single via MQTT bus. I have a helper that blends the weather service and local obs to compare with the thermostat. It bothers us every 2 hours to open some windows.
We both also have a bad habit of not closing the back door all the way, so the Assistant bugs us if a door or window is open for more than 10 minutes and the outdoor temperature is below the heating setpoint, or above the cooling setpoint. It turns off the HVAC a few minutes later if the condition persists and sends a snarky notification about not being made of enough money to fix climate change. However, it will turn the heat back on to 60F if the house falls below 58F and send notifications every hour til the condition is addressed.
Otherwise the ecobee does a fair job adjusting itself to maintain a desired inside temp on its own.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•[Resolved]Jellyfin won't fetch the good metadataEnglish
2·4 months agoYou’ve solved it by now but this Jellyfin doc article was helpful for me, beginning with the section Naming.
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies/
There at similar guides for TV Shows, Music, Books and other mixed media.
There are also guides for “stacking” multi-segment media titles, for example Lord of the Rings movies which come on several discs.
Jellyfin can be a bit opinionated about detecting bad metadata. The override tags in the media data filename or folder name can help clean that up. In fact, I’ve started hard-coding those [tmdbid=…] tags in my encoding workflow because I’m just so damned tired of fighting with the metadata feature.
Hope it works form you,.too.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anybody here whose main use of computers is NOT games?English
3·11 months agoI don’t use my computers for modern gaming. Like OP, I prefer tabletop games, though I do speed run crossword puzzles and play some PixelDungeon on my phone when I have spare time. I also built a Retropie, and play some old Atari and PS2 roms on a bored Sunday. My stuff can run Civ IV, which is probably the last title I bought.
My main systems are for work, or for supporting self-hosted services including local infrastructure, home lab stuff, email, blogs, home automation, media servers, etc, etc. Lately I’ve been getting into SDR projects using RPi or old laptops.
So, uh… Yeah. Fun stuff, but not so much gaming.
