yup…
.hidden file became my best friend - and a little context menu script for dolphin to easily add a file / folder to that .hidden is a thing i use way too often tbh

And now show hidden files and you see the plethora of applications that dump everything in your homedir instead of .config
Optical Character Recognition
Making a program read a text in image form and make it computer-readable / searchable / selectable
You could optimize it though.
As said one comment above, check if it’s the same composition as before and don’t take a screenshot if it didn’t change. Make some rules to filter out video content so if you have a youtube video open it doesn’t take a screenshot every second just because the video is running.
Or you could actually integrate this with your window manager. Only take a screenshot if you move / resize / open / close a window. Make a small extension for browsers that tell it to make a screenshot if you scroll / close / open a page. Then you don’t have to make a screenshot and compare with the one before.
This wouldn’t be as thorough as just forcing screenshots all the time and you would probably not catch stuff like writing a text in libreoffice as you don’t change anything with the window. But it could be a resourceful way to do that.
And if for example no screenshot was taken for 1 minute because nothing called for that, you could just take one regardless. That way you have a minimum of one screenshot per minute or as often as window manager / browser calls for it.
Also, 1MB on full resolution. You could also downscale the images dramatically after you OCR them. So let’s say we shoot in full res, OCR and then downscale to 50%. Still enough so everything is human readable, combined with searchable OCR you’re down to 7,5GB for a whole month.
Absolutely feasable. Let’s say we’re up to 8GB to include the OCR text and additional metadata and just reserve 10GB on your system for that to make double sure.
Now you have 10GB to track your whole 3440x1440 display.
Are you on 16k resolution or something?
When i take a screenshot of my 3440x1440 display it’s 1MB big. I mean this doesn’t change the issue in its core but dramatically downsizes it
This is way too overkill, simply use WebDAV
Thanks to another user i got home assistant notifications with TTS running.
So everything can stay muted and i can let the phone talk via home assistant. Neat part is that this works even with both our phones lost and i can just ask my voice assistant where my phone is and it starts speaking
Awesome, that works - Thank you!
Yeah that doesn’t appear to work when you don’t use the do not disturb setting. We just turn down the volume
Hm it doesn’t get throught my phone being on mute 🤔
No sound coming through
I’ll try that right away! Thanks!
Not quite sure where i would do that in either of those settings.
We don’t use the google contacts app and the ones we use don’t have anything like that. Settings are pretty convoluted and the search function doesn’t help me
Yeah i specificaly asked this in the foss community because i don’t want to use google services for that.
yeah i found that too but i can’t get the docker server to run… always get permission errors despite it being in a 1000:1000 directory hmmm…
is it safe to use their server? 🤔
I assume I’d have to create a task that turns up the volume first then. But that should work!
I’ll use this approach if I don’t find anything else that just works and does this one thing
Yeah we have them both installed… Can you point me to where exactly I can ping?
Interesting approach, we are not in DND mode however… Just muted the sounds 🤔
I used homebox but switched over to nocodb
