@apoorplayer I get from then via email.
@manton @apoorplayer Appreciate it, yall!
@DaveyCraney I’ve rarely used it all. Not sure if I will.
@apoorplayer Yeah, I’ll have a fix in a few days at most.
@toddgrotenhuis I never found a definitive guide, but ChatGPT got me through it. It basically went like this:
- Get a HD with matching capacity to NAS Plex Installation. Format it to work with Mac.
- Transfer Plex files from NAS to Mac Mini connected HD. Depending on size, it could take a while. Took mine about 32 hours.
- Install Plex Server on Mac Mini, point it to the libraries, and you’re good to go.
There is a little nuance I’m missing there, but that’s the basics. I even managed to get the -arr suite, sabnzbd, and FileFlows rolling too.
@MitchW I’ve gone through all of them. Most recently the default Apple Reminders app. It has gotten surprisingly useful. But I left it because it doesn’t allow repeating tasks based on completion date (I want the following date of an item to be 30 days after I complete it, not every 30 days).
@jospehaleo I haven’t run into any bugs (but I was starting fresh). There are some things that could be improved, but no deal breakers for me yet.
@jthingelstad Nice. I’ve got to listen to that!
@MitchW I have. The one dealbreaker for me with Things is the inability to check off a recurring task before the recurring date.
For example, if I have a task set for every Wednesday at work. But this week, I was able to complete it on Monday…I can’t check it off until Wednesday.
@yostos I like the image one. I’ve had a simple resize one for a while, but didn’t think to go as far as you did. Thanks!
@jonah Yeah, Sumo is much more opinionated about css than Tiny.
@estebantxo I'm glad to hear it. Sorry about the delayed response, I never saw a notification for this.
@yostos I am definitely saving this and will give it a shot. In the meantime, I managed to get FileFlows up and running. It was a port issue that I was having trouble diagnosing.
As a separate question, I'd love to see what you use Hazel for beyond this. My setup for it is pretty basic, but I know I'm leaving a lot on the table.
@Mtt I managed to get it working with FileFlows, but that app has been unreliable (freezes). I’m guessing it’s possible with Hazel + ffmpeg/Handbrake, but I haven’t been able to fully work it out. ChatGPT gets me close, but not all the way. (2/2)
@Mtt The best place to buy buckets is Firehouse Subs if you have one close by. $3 for a quality 5 gallon bucket with the lid included.
I also have some from Lowe’s, Home Depot, Tractor Supply, and Sam’s. Lowe’s even has half sized ones.
Am I now a bucket enthusiast? Collector? Addict?
@crossingthethreshold After 1 day, I'm really liking it. You could create a Shortcut that mimics a lot of the features, but nothing nearly as elegant as it is. Right now, I'm already considering making the Lifetime purchase. Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm thinking maybe your brain works similar to mine. Do you have any other suggestions?
Here are some of my favorite apps/etc:
- Remind Me Faster (iOS)
- Reminders MenuBar (Mac)
- Custom Shortcut for Adding Notes (lets me quickly choose a folder or audio note)
- ShareShot for Screenshots (iOS)
- StopTheMadness and Wipr (Safari) - Carrot's Hidden Premium Mini Subscription
- A crazy ugly background when phone is in DND mode so I don't forget
@crossingthethreshold Now that is interesting! I’m giving it a shot for sure. Do you do anything special on the email client side with rules/filters/etc? Or just keep it in inbox?
@chrisheck Appreciate the kind words. We celebrated with steak dinners and handmade gifts from the grandkids. Good night for all.
@jinscho Probably the leading contender right now.
@jonah Doesn’t appear so. 😕
@jagibson That's good to know. I'll see if it works!
@Mtt Ideas I've toyed around with:
- A separate (private) email address and client for this sole purpose - A single user Slack/Discord
- Creating a second AppleID and sending messages to it
- Appending notes to a single note in any simple notes app
None are perfect, but all are manageable if I can't find something else
@manton That's awesome! Appreciate all the hard work.
@pratik Thanks! Manton and the Micro.blog community have been great. No better place!
@esamecar Thank you!
