    I’m looking for an app (on Android) that not only keeps track of birthdays, but also lets you add an extra date if that person has passed away. So it will display someone’s age correctly instead of just counting on. And give reminders of both their birth- and their dying day. If it exists, please let me know…

    I really want an all-in-one android app that just let me connect 2 portable ssds (via a usb hub) and then make a list of hashes for the folder structure and file names along with the hashes, all on a single sor of “index” file and I can run a “verify” function like every so often (like maybe once a week?) to check if there are any decay, also copy everything to the 2nd drive, and then run the verify to check if its done correctly, and correct any file corruptions.

    Like its a very ghetto way to doing a NAS on a budget, but its just a $50 spare android phone connected to a usb hub with the power connected, and a bunch of drives attached.

    I can run hash checks manually with some F-Droid apps, and keep the hashes on a file, but there us no way to automate this.

    A program that allows me to search through a large drive and see if there are any duplicates of congruent files on them, even if those files have different names but are otherwise identical, i.e. copies elsewhere on the drive.

      • Fully local

      • Search by person (local facial recognition)

      No search by “thing” without manually tagging though

      Immich lets you do this

      https://immich.app/docs/features/searching/

      For example here’s me searching for “forest”. But it also supports looking for people (even multiple people in the same image), places, dates, or combinations of all of them. It’ll also look for text in images. The link has more examples

      All hosted and processed on my local computer, and connected to the mobile app

        I think there is a fine line between “installing an app” and “spinning up a docker image and keeping it maintained”.

        I’m in the camp that Docker images are what .exe’s used to be, but they’re not easily accessible still. So Immich doesn’t count I fear.

          That is completely fair, and part of that is on me since I spend so much time in self hosting communities where such a recommendation isn’t too out of the ordinary, while it’s way out of scope for what most people are looking for

          Having a more user friendly and approachable way to do stuff like this would be very helpful

    I have long wanted a weather forecast along route in navigation apps for long trips. Ideally you could add in stops and estimate how long you would need to wait for storms to pass over.

      Just coming back from a trip and adding to this, I wish Organic Maps / CoMaps had a function to automatically add rest stops and fuel stops.

      For example, for a 7 hour road trip it would prompt:

      • Frequency of rest stops: 120 minutes
      • Time spent at rest stop: 20 minutes
      • Approx remaining range: 150km
      • Approx car range overall: 500km

      Obviously I’ve just been pulling into service stations and rest stops on my own accord, but I like having small goals and not having the navigation lose it’s shit at me because I decided to pull into a small town halfway through. Would just make planning a day of driving much easier.

      Ersatz is this brilliant self hosted IPTV server that can do this. Any client (even a browser or your smart tv) can run it. Setting up the channels are a bit clunky but it’s well documented

        Setting up something like a cron job is trivial, getting it to stream files from a particular folder, on a channel I can access on demand, is the trick.

        Ideally I want to be able to change the input on my television, any time I want, to my personal streaming channel which is constantly running the schedule I’ve defined.

          Seems like it would be pretty easy to set up some cron job that would change a symlink to a folder every hour and just run programs from that symlink.

            That would likely work if the intent was to watch files locally, and that’s not the goal. The goal is to stream them out to something viewable on a television.

            A DLNA server can do the streaming, but not the scheduling and it won’t run continuously.

          The one time I tried streaming I just piped ffmpeg output through icecast and that worked, but it took some reading of the ffmpeg wiki to find the right options. You might even be able to point icecast to the folder directly without ffmpeg. I needed ffmpeg because it was transcoding from a webcam. On the playback side you’d again use ffmpeg to stream the icecast channel to your computer’s hdmi output, and wire that to your TV. I’m still going with 10 line shell script, but maybe I’d use python to avoid too much shell cleverness.

          Added: maybe you don’t even need icecast. Its purpose is to fan out a single input to multiple clients. You can even cascade them across a bunch of cheap VPS into a do-it-yourself youtube with 1000s of simultaneous viewers.

    There’s been a lot that I’ve been looking for but I’ve never been able to find. Here are the one’s that I can remember off the top of my head.

    The first, which doesn’t need to be an app/program, is something that would allow me to get more use out of Flathub. I’ve been wanting to get more use out of Flathub but the biggest problem I have with Flathub, is that there is no reliable way to discover new apps. The reason for this is because of how the website sorts its apps. They seem to be sorted either randomly or by popularity, as the order changes occasionally, and it mixes new apps in with the old apps. What I’ve been doing is using a chart to keep track of what apps I’ve seen but I have no idea of how reliable this actually is.

    The second, I’ve mentioned before on another post, is a companion app for GameFAQs that’s similar to Anime Plus. If you’re not familiar with Anime Plus, it’s a website that works as companion app for MyAnimeList. It looks at your MAL profile and generates a temporary profile that offers a few useful features like a list of anime/manga that you’ve missed and recommendations for other anime/manga.

    The last one that I can remember, is a reliable gamepad mapper app for android devices that doesn’t require root. I’ve tried multiple gamepad mapper apps but none of them worked properly and I’m pretty sure that some of them contained malware, especially given the fact that they’ve been removed from the Google Play Store.

    I once thought it would be cool to have a program you could feed a photo of an evil boss’s or slimy politician’s face, from which it would then create a little cartoon character. That you could subject to various simulated tortures. Throw knives at it, lower it into boiling oil, draw and quarter, etc. Would probably be a hit in some offices.

    Digimon.

    I have to carry my phone with me everywhere I go, I want a little guy that is personal and unique to me, it gets points for stuff I do, and them I can battle with other people who have their own little guys.

    Pokémon go doesn’t cut it for me, the battle isn’t Pokemon. The games are great but it’s me playing the guy not me being the guy.

    I have the whole thing on paper but learning the programming to make it is discouraging and I’m already in college and writing full time

        Yeah. I even wanted to include an account based scanner for loot. You’d be able to scan barcodes and qr to get loot, battles, and stuff, but after the first scan it would remember and lock that reward so you could reclaim it daily.

        I imagined players keeping little collections of barcodes so you could easily reclaim useful loot and when players meet in the wild they could scan up each others collections to get codes they may hot have found in the wild.

      Check out pyautogui, it’s probably what you’re looking for. You can manipulate the mouse and keyboard and even look for images contained on the screen.
