Calvin is sarcastically suggesting that Rosalyn is a Nazi because of her rules and requirements.

Would Plex be an option here? I don’t use it, but I know it has a photo library feature.

You might be interested to learn of the Fancyzones Powertoy which makes snapping windows to preconfigured zones quite easy.

So that’s admittedly not a good look for canonical, but my read of that is that if you’re getting widely-known software from a developer who’s publishing it to snap themselves, and you’re cautious about your usage, snap is fine.

For example, essentially my only use of snap is to install certbot. If I follow the directions from certbot.eff.org precisely, then I’ll get certbot installed and no issues.

I certainly agree that (a) the system is ripe for abuse and (b) should be self-hostable to support Free software. Both of these could be fixed by canonical opening it up.

Why? I’ve heard this for years at this point, but as someone who rarely uses snaps because they’re the only convenient option for software I’m using, I’m generally ambivalent about them.

People seem to hold really strong opinions about snap but I’ve never been able to get a straight answer, just a bunch of hand waving.

I use Mail-in-a-Box on a small VPS. Have been doing so for about 10 years. It takes care of basically everything.

Last year I subscribed to a small-time email provider, anydomain.net, because I got tired of playing whack-a-mole with services blocking my entire subnet due to spammers on the VPS. All told I probably spend ~US$20 per month to host it.

Many years ago, I got some great advice: there’s no statute of limitations on an apology. Just apologize!

Here’s a slightly better quality version: https://i.imgur.com/D99jO2j.png

This project is so popular that it’s preinstalled on every OS!

SSH key auth for terminal login, plus an nginx proxy and client cert auth on anything accessible by the outside world. I’ll expose any internal service I want because nobody is getting through the client cert auth.

does it support white listing things?

Actually, yes! I got a really good suggestion on this and it now supports a whitelist of TMDB/TVDB IDs in a file called protected which you can volume mount when you call the container:

docker run --rm -it --env-file .env --network=host -v /home/user/protected:/app/protected ghcr.io/ask-me-about-loom/purgeomatic:latest python delete.movies.unwatched.py

:laughs in usenet:

Let’s not pretend all of this stuff is high art. Look, if they really need to watch Krampus: Origins, they can download it again.

It does not. My suggestion is to either set your threshold high enough that the content gets watched, or put it in a separate library of special content you don’t want deleted.

Aye.

After a bunch of digging, I was able to find this documentation for configuring Slack integrations with shoutrrr, which is the notification system bolted on to scrutiny. After quite a bit more trial and error, I wasn’t able to get token auth working (it appears shoutrrr’s updated docs are already out of date), but I was able to make webhooks work. Gotta say, shoutrrr’s configuration strings are awfully user-hostile.

After some more trial and error, I was able to get SMTP auth working after removing all special characters from my password and setting it to a stupidly long randomly generated string.

I used scrutiny years ago, but recall not being happy with it for some reason. I’ll give it another try.

Edit: I remember now. The notification configuration is next-level awful. The documentation is close to nonexistent. Getting basic SMTP auth is non-functional. Finding an actual example of a slack notification configuration is impossible. Have any working configs you can share?

Yikes! I’m going to have to do more reading, I guess. My experience with snap is exclusively limited to installing certbot on RHEL.
