I have been loving it so far and got immich and going to add others and under it soon.

Yeah, I gave my dad my old pixel and put a launcher on it, locked down the settings so it wouldn’t get accidentally changed to small fonts and just had a few apps, phone, text, email, door dash. That worked except the time he forgot to charge it but I think he knew I would come over more when I couldn’t call him.

If it’s just to make calls I would go used android, big screen and a special launcher that simplifies it and makes text big for typing in numbers. I see the Bluetooth landline phone things have bad reviews but most are from 4 years ago and say to go SIP if you want an actual handset.

I’ll have to give that a look. I spun up immich to replace Google photos but I can’t fully switch over till I have them in a cloud backup. Everything else is config/docker files that are small.

I’ll have to look more into it but I use this. I thought it compresses before uploading but I can’t find the doc yet. https://docs.duplicati.com/getting-started/set-up-a-backup-in-the-ui

Backup as a zip? Small files warped up in one big file. Only backup what you can’t restore from somewhere else. I think B2 can ship you a HDD to restore from if I remember correctly.

Glad to hear, the ones doing the work now will get more recognition and the one leaving can do more of what they want. Hopefully they had a good handoff.

There is still transcoding done thru the server, maybe depending on the app but the ones that use livekit it would.

Hosting costs money, maybe if you disable voice, video, uploads, and only allowed text it would be manageable but discord is free. I run my own chat server but it’s only for like 10 people.

Yeah, no one at my work would care as long as you’re not making it weird, I think before I got here people were probably reading 59 shades of grey or other “spicy” books.

I think it’s hypocritical to call some books as not appropriate for school or work while allowing religious texts that have that in it.

Ezekiel 23:20 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

And that’s a tamer one, there is torture, rape, mass killing. Of course most Bibles from the many different religions are NSFW.

Which Bible? I don’t see which mythos they are talking about?

Yeah, I have never pirated a game because of steam. My dad taught me about bearshare, limewire, and others from his time for music but I pay, unfortunately for YouTube, get new music from indie artists. It’s so easy to just listen to anything I want. Netflix was the same way. Hell now places are uploading to YouTube for old stuff kike all of myth busters.

Autofill, easy sync, password generation, browser extension, mobile app, ease of use to name a few.

Yeah, maybe it’s because I run public sites on kubernetes at work that I’m not as scared but a good locked down network is fine. Thousands or businesses run public URLs, as long as you configure it right you are mostly good. There is always a risk of vulnerabilities in the software for immich, your proxy, your auth provider so doing it that way increases your attack surface than just the VPN.

Ooo that looks nice, I’m using portainer right now, how was the migration?

Yeah, I have been learning more and just got oauth working last week. I found Plex a little after blockbuster went under and I had over a thousand movies and a few full TV shows. I have tried jellyfin but the lack of apps has been the issue for me. But as Plex does more of this it will get more and more worthless.

I have not but may look into that as I’m thinking of getting 3 small computers to have a kubernetes cluster at home.

I really like my Jetkvm, has helped me out.

I’m overkill and use ubiquity but you can also use their entry level devices, I’m a fan of hardwiring the wifi points to a switch or the router itself thru poe so you don’t have to use a wifi band for the mesh.
