The TV and Samsung are showing here what cyber abuse is

Services are only exposed on local WiFi and behind Tailscale, updated all as soon as possible: still quite safe right?

Unglaublich dumm. Literally burning cash.

Yes, immich sends all my pictures to the homeserver AND I can immediately see all my partners pictures pop up on my phone. Immich is very cool for that.

I too dislike that immich “scrambles” my pictures. I had it quite well organised over multiple decades (folders per year & location), but how well immich works seems worth losing this idea of organisational control over the collection. The immich duplicate detection for example is superb (it isn’t on nextcloud). It for example detects very easily that a 400kb sent or received picture is actually the same as a 4Mb much higher resolution original picture with a completely different filename and different metadata.

I still have my pictures collection organised old school from before immich on various back-up media and the hardest part to me now is deciding to keep that or convert it all to the “immich style” directory… Since it’s now very difficult to add new pictures to it without loads and loads of duplicates.

I did find the setting in immich which will somewhat still organise it in folders per month now, but it’s not the same, since a month often isn’t a logical grouping directory, for example if you go on holiday last week of December+ first week of January: pictures will still be spread across various folders.

My main downside on immich currently is that we can’t easily “share” metadata over a few different users (locations added later, recognised faces etc) although we share many faces/locations in pictures… It’s a hard choice wether I still want to make the few users all use the same account after all because of that (which will have other downsides like no personal private folder)

Yes filebrowser is ending it’s a shame, very simple tool. Copyparty works fine too but too many features I don’t need.

I don’t have a better suggestion for mobile backup. I only have pictures (immich) backed up automatically. Everything else on my phone would be lost or it already sits somewhere else from the beginning (like music)

Look at dietpi. There is a regular pc version (x86).

Their own “we do it for you” software choice is somewhat limited, but everything is really easy imo. You can always install other things they don’t offer, with apt or docker or … But the basic dietpi system is a super reliable, super lightweight, easy to manage OS.

For the music: dietpi+jellyfin+ tailscale+finamp on phone. Tailscale on phone, point it to only use VPN for finamp. It works incredibly stable and reliable for me. I tried many other “make it work remotely” options first, tailscale is just magic. If it’s only for streaming music to your phone, I don’t consider tailscale a privacy issue at all.

I suggest to skip the nextcloud. It’s a mess. Use immich for pictures and paperless for documents.

If hosting some other files that don’t fit those 2 categories, things like filebrowser or copyparty are great. Nextcloud is really quite the challenge tbh and imo not worth the hassle it is for a typical selfhoster… It’s hard to get the most out of it. It pays of for medium organisations maybe but not for just you and a few other people…

Mit einem geschätzten Preis von 150 bis 350 Euro pro Quadratmeter für Photovoltaikanlagen in Deutschland könnte man mit 1,7 Milliarden Euro zwischen 4,86 Millionen und 11,33 Millionen Quadratmetern Solarplatten kaufen. Sie sollten jahrzehntelang quasi kostenlosen Strom liefern, und in den ersten Jahrzehnten sogar sehr effizient. Stattdessen subventionieren sie lieber die Verbrennung von 1,7 Milliarden Euro mit ihrer lächerlichen Tankrabatt… Und dann haben sie noch die Frechheit zu sagen, die Energiewende sei zu teuer?

Imo it’s mainly the low key developers using some free API and dreaming it will always stay free. This kind of developing is often basically volunteering for big private companies. Users just use whatever is big, easy available. They have less choice. Developers know what they are putting their effort into, re-enforcing it even more while gaining little from it.

They wanna gentle into it somewhat because they know there are many server managing people on the line already, doubting going jellyfin but scared of the hassle of transferring users, incompatibility (or too difficult for user) with some users devices.

They wanna move fast because money line needs to go up, boss said.

So currently, tripling lifetime prices seems to be the middle way for them. After a while monthly and yearly prices will rise too (but slower than tripling).

I think their idea behind it is to convince relatively tech savvy people how great it works (it does) so they talk about it in their relatively tech savvy professional role at small and medium companies.

And at some point they will either start charging money for the small time user, or it will turn to shit, or both. You just know it will happen, the question is when not if. It isn’t free, it’s corporate.

I think many staple crops are often more prone to drought issues than not getting enough sunlight. Many crops can thrive pretty well with only 4-5 hours of direct sunlight and for the rest of the day just enough general brightness. A bit less direct sunlight can help reduce water usage.

Evolution is going towards semi-transparant solar panels (solar windows) for various use cases, agrivoltaics among them.

It’s also not unfeasible to have a herd of sheep or goats roaming around solar panels.

Tho it’s true it’s a challenge to successfully combine large scale solar and agriculture, I think the future ahead is looking very bright for this combo. Around here (south Germany) it is by now very uncommon to see stables and warehouses without an enormous solar roof, for example…

The front was a plastic and the body was metal…

The sun moves.

But Tailscale is free, works very easily and reliable and it is set up in minutes. I will only be motivated to look into all that when tailscale isn’t free and reliable anymore… I guess that will eventually happen at sometime in the future.

I think because it lets them see themselves as scientists or so

Honestly a not-the-worst back-up for a starter is just regularly (monthly for example) plugging in an external SSD, HDD or even a memory stick and put data you value in cold storage. Almost all can be rebuilt and gathered again, except data you personally value.

Okay cool!

On mobile Voyager is quite nice imo

There’s just one little hurdle: choose an instance when joining. Maybe it could just be some sort of “choose for me” and every instance gets equal new users, random. Of course with the option to “nope, I’ll choose instance myself”. Everything else is technical and a casual new user shouldn’t be bothered very much by it. Some are very interested and dig in to the knowledge, some just want to scroll cat pictures and call it a day, and that is fine too.
