I have Alex drawers, these are Alex drawers, we all have Alex drawers.

You might think that this is clearly a joke. That no one would actually do this. But you don’t know how the people at the other keyboards are going to take it. Case in point.

Yeah I’m excited about it. Dubious and skeptical, but excited too.

I believe Vault/BitWarden caches all passwords on all devices. So you can create a backup anytime. Even when the instance is down.

Lmao, I can’t tell if this is stupid, or genius access control. Like if they had problems figuring out which one of their six employees was leaving the lock open, give them each their own lock!

I read that as chickens and thought your grand plan was to start a farm, LMAO.

From my parents, my wife, and her parents I definitely got a, “Oh you still play games, like you’re a kid. That’s cute.” vibe. But they we’re pretty accepting once they realized it wasn’t some hold over phase from being a teenager and a legitimate hobby with a community that increases technical knowledge, too.

That being said I still feel like a kid in one respect. You know that meme, where you’re playing an online game and your mom comes in and says “Pause it and come to dinner.” I get similar comments from my wife. And she’ll get annoyed sometimes. Like, “I needed you help on something but I guess your game is more important.” But I just sunk 45 mins of effort into a match of CS:GO, my rank is on the line which I’ve spent a lot more time on, it’s actually pretty rude to ask me to drop that because you want the trash out. Not to mention I’m tanking my teammates ranks. Like if my hobby was soccer, you wouldn’t walk out onto the pitch during a game holding everyone up and expect me to have a conversation about repainting the bathroom. But because they can’t see the game, they don’t get it.

So in that respect it can be difficult as an adult. You do have more responsibilities and relationships you need to maintain. So you need to be clear about setting aside time for your hobby. Communicate well with those in your life about it and what you need from them.

I think this is super interesting, and a really good idea. But as others have stated in this thread, very costly.

However until technology catches up, maybe we could have an interstitial federated platform. One that’s super decentralized. Like 90% of the users running their own instance, decentralized. Anyone with a NAS can host they’re own vids. Then the other 10% that are willing to host high bandwidth, high capacity servers, can work as caching for the most popular videos.

It’s a great and rewarding hobby! But having cloud connected devices on the same network as your sensitive information is an issue.

Use a vLAN and IoT devices capable of local control. Use a self hosted hub like Home Assistant. Keep devices that collect sensitive information (like a camera) out of sensitive areas (like the bedroom). Then you should be reasonably secure.

Sure that’s a strat! Trick is working out ripping the vids. First thought is the youtubedl tool (works on more than YouTube. Namely HTML5 video, that a lot of steaming sights use.)

Look into automation with Radarr/Sonarr. But yeah, will require some backend work. Also server resources for things like transcoding and bandwidth. Unless you want to automate scraping other steaming sites and just provide a curated list of links to those other streaming sites…

Does linkding support groups? Looking for a way to quickly save a whole window of project tabs to get back to…
