@kensanata I use Nextcloud to sync everything - overkill for what you want though, unless you're already using Nextcloud. Some of the other suggestions in this thread are good instead ;)

@HerraBRE As much as the movement towards SaaS has done a lot of harm to the internet, I think that "personal SaaS" solutions can help undo some of that.
Mailpile, like a lot of FOSS SaaS-like stuff I've seen, seems to me a like a really interesting (albeit slow) turning point in computing.
Why *not* host a bunch of your own services for yourself, your family or your friends? All the features/flexibility without giving up the control or trusting a company that needs to monetize you.

Today I finally *started* to grok #rstats #purrr and nested data frames - which is good since I'm using Elastic to store the JSON from the GitHub API (which is, indeed, nested). Still not quite getting it, but my code is *much* simpler...

This is why an open source option is imperative. Microsoft is basically throwing in the towel here, and even at their best they weren't a great option anyway. That doesn't really affect the "serious" assistant field since Amazon and Google already dominate, and Cortana and Siri are next in line with single digit market penetration. We really need an option that isn't just a data miner in a very poor disguise.

One of the worst things about techie culture, is it's really deeply ingrained that it's "normal" and "OK" to speak in extremely negative terms about other peoples' work.
We have this culture where being openly hostile and derogatory, is condoned, even encouraged. It's bad.
Sure, software has flaws. They can be very frustrating. We know. And most devs want to fix their bugs - at least until they get so burnt out demoralized that they give up and walk away.
Please don't be part of the problem.

"Today, everybody uses open source code, including Fortune 500 companies, government, major software companies and startups. Sharing, rather than building proprietary code, turned out to be cheaper, easier, and more efficient. This increased demand puts additional strain on those who maintain this infrastructure, yet because these communities are not highly visible, the rest of the world has been slow to notice. Most of us take opening a software application for granted, the way we take turning on the lights for granted. We donโt think about the human capital necessary to make that happen."

"cloud", "affordable" and "predictable performance characteristics" is the new CAP theorem. Pick any two

@cybette it is! It's pretty good, a deck-builder but also with a board to move around on, and a nice push-your-luck mechanic.
All-weekend games are currently off the table (hah), given the small people in the house. I get a monthly board games night, starting after the kids are asleep ;) Oh, and some two player stuff with my partner, currently working our way through Charterstone...

@nebunez I must admit, #noSQL stores are not my strong point, I'm more of a #postgreSQL person ;) I only know about the license thing because I was also following similar changes in #redis.
I've been playing with #elasticSearch this week, as it happens, but I literally just need a place to dump JSON that's marginally better than flat files in a dir. Your mileage may vary :p

@nebunez if you're not already invested then I'd think twice - Mongo recently dropped it's AGPLv3 license in favour of a brand new license of it's own making. This *might* be still open, but the license hasn't been approved by the OSI. See
https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/16/mongodb-switches-up-its-open-source-license/
And the resulting debate on the OSI mailing list
http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2018%2DOctober/003648.html
SSPL isn't looking likely to get approval, from my reading of the thread, so care is needed if that matters to you.

@Floppy yeah, I'll be leaving the dvb stuff for now - no hat for the XU4 so if it works well I'll need a USB dvb card... So it depends on performance
Out of interest, how many clients / how much transcoding are you doing? I have 2 TVs (raspi client), multiple laptops and android devices. Could be as many as 3 in use at once, steaming multiple formats. Not sure how well I can get an ARM based server to handle that (currently on an Intel HP microserver)...

House infrastructure revamp, part 1
Just ordered an HC2 from oDroid - the XU4 is plenty powerful for a bunch of workloads. With the 3.5" HDD form factor, looks very nice.
Will probably start by testing #plex on it (thanks @Floppy for the heads up about server ARM builds) for info, and then wipe/reinstall with a bunch of smaller services. Likely:
* sr.ht
* salt master
* monitoringPossibly also Nextcloud, Foreman, or the backups, depending on load at that point. Fun ahead!
