Yes, which i literally said “cell tower / similar location option”

Cell tower is the lowest power cost for getting location, GPS is the most power hungry.

I’ve used tasker for 13 years, im quite aware it can do GPS :P

Yeah thars what I said :P

You’ve misread that. When he leaves his home network, he has it switch off wifi to prevent it being picked up by other networks. Probably has it being switched back on by cell tower / similar location option

Workspaces? Don’t recall if it has its own icons

Yup, pretty much :P

Seriously worth a go, takes minutes to setup if you’re already ready for docker containers. Restart it often (dailiy is the official guidance, i find it doesnt need that with only me as user, i just do it when it starts to feel sluggish) - and I’ve put it behind a reverse proxy with auth to keep it to myself

I got sick of some of the various Invidious instances taking 5+ refreshes to load a video, so ended up installing my own instance and its been a much nicer experience

Blocked reddit on my router, to prevent accidental clickage - no intention of going back there at all

Great guide, two things though

I notice you mention Prowlarr, I’d probably suggest it and jackett - i ran both for a while then dropped Jackett as all my matches were coming through Prowlarr and its just less admin to add sources there once and have them add to the rest of the servarr apps

Also, you might want to look at https://www.audiobookshelf.org/ - A great plex like app for streaming audiobooks specifically

I wouldnt trust a cantenna or anything like that for wellbing of someone, there’s just too many variables even down to atmospheric pressure which is going to affect wifi signal with something like that. That said, if you can put a rasberry pi at his house, maybe in the house but on the nearest wall to the access point / router, then something like this might be workable

I have a number of these buttons about the house

I have a RasPi running https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/

I have one of these flashed as hub / bridge https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203668277433?var=504097716478

Then just some python connecting to the mqtt and responding which I’d be happy to provide a copy of if you decide to go down that route, just let me know. Could have it sending a pushover notification or something along those lines quite easily

Hah, half of one of my passwords is the username from my dialup ISP from about 98. Right in the feels.

This sounds amazing, definitely going to add this to my servarr setup next few days.

Fucking astounding isnt it. Where’s cancel culture when you need to rid the world of a nonce? :P

I’m gonna guess the one who said 2 hours ago they were leaving, but is still here?
