You can also try out photoprism for that. Immich is best for an all-in-one solution as a replacement for google photos.

Photoprism also has face recognition, maps, and many more features geared towards photography than immich.

I realized after using photoprism that I am too basic for that haha

Also mealie supports SSO with OIDC so authelia/authentik can cover it and there is no need for separate accounts.

Also being a PWA on mobile instead of another electron app means that authentication in front of it doesn’t break anything.

Very funny, I stille have an old TPlink running now for 6 or 7 years, my parents had an old linksys that only did 2.4GHz running for 13 years or something. Before i replaced it for them.

I honestly don’t know how a router breaks. It can become outdated or obsolete such that it can’t interface correctly anymore or it can have a hardware failure that kills it by surges or physical damage, or it can be completely unsecure because it hasn’t been updated in a decade but routing is “fairly simple” and just getting data throughput isn’t rocket science software-wise.

Yes,

Then you have 4 main plus these 5-6 extra. Just put your boot drive on a data drive instead of m.2 or get an adaptor and you are good to go. 8 data drives plus a boot drive

As someone who has to interface professionally with solidworks and everyone at my company on the mechanical side uses solidworks, it is also slow as fuck when the part or assembly gets a bit complicated. Just opening it takes a few minutes. If we have to open solidworks and an assembly from scratch during a meeting, that is 10 minutes gone.

Definitely has 10x as many QoL and productvity features and much better TNP solutions and heuristics built over decades, plus very useful plugins, but speed and stability are not its strong points 😂

Music assistant has Spotify connect integration, so if you have a Spotify connect device, maybe you can use voice command -> regular Spotify Integration -> music assistant Spotify connect device?

Watch out. A lot of controversy over rustdesk because they do some strange things and route all traffic through their server in China or something.

(Not up to date on it, just have heard it many times in passing, worth looking in to)

Read and think critically. It is all arbitrary. If we cut off people at 18 or 24, why shouldn’t we cut them off at 50? There is scientific evidence both ways.

Not to mention that IQ is pretty much a farce and completely biased by certain types of education and only measures a small subset of human brain function, The cutoff would also be completely arbitrary.

Not everything is a personal indictment on you or your beliefs.

That is a quite popular opinion judging by the votes. I think they function quite differently, and are useful for different things, which might be more unpopular.

BSD and MIT are more like “public domain” or “creative commons” licenses. Some people genuinely just don’t care and want literally anyone to use their work.

Libraries, languages, APIs, OS’s, etc… Work well because they have mass adoption. They have mass adoption (often) because people get the freedom to use them during their paid time. Companies are exploitative and evil, but often their dev and engineer employees aren’t.

Copy left licenses (GPL, AGPL, CERN-OHL-S to not forget about open source hardware) really shine for end products like hardware, applications, hosted software, games, etc… Where you want to preserve a “unique” end product against theft, exploitation, and commercialization, and really care about having not everyone be able to do whatever they want.

Then cap the voting age at 50 when cognitive decline of the frontal lobe really kicks in, if we are talking about fully developed brain function.

Neural plasticity has even declined once you are past your 20s. One of the reasons people find it much much harder to learn a new language past then, for example.

reasoning, memory, and speed of reasoning reaches a decline threshold when you are around 40.

My unpopular opinion is I guess that humans were never evolved to live as long as we do (and certainly not meant to labor as long) so everything in our brain gets very wonky. Empathy is also one of the things stunted with age. There is a reason the “grump old man” trope exists.

EDIT: Maybe I wasn’t clear enough. Pretty much everything regarding age is arbitrary because you are “developing” until your mid 20s and then you start declining, brain-wise. It is all arbitrary. And then the above poster doesn’t even check that I am a different person than the original comment and sends me a hate message somehow thinking that I am wishing death on him (why would anyone wish for a stranger to die?) for simply pointing out that our brains get weirder with age especially because we are forced to work for much longer and often have less empathy.

Not for soups, but a tip for frying mushrooms and getting rid of the mushrooms texture that a lot of people hate is parboiling it in salt water for 3-5 minutes before going in a very hot pan.

Of if there is no time for that, salting it at the end of the cooking process helps it now reabsorb the moisture it sweats out!

Syncthing also even has basic version control, just no “web file browsing” interface.

Obviously backed up to the chatGPT overlord!

Meanwhile the EU probably pushes for the 100th time to backdoor all communication encryption backed by fascists and Spain trying to put down the Catalans…

And the UK doing the same thing and also a big surveillance state…

Sadly nowhere is great right now.

What if the phone dies?

The answer is always the same.

I have a phone with 128GB of space and an SD card with 256GB. To update to 256GB internal would have cost 250€ because price reductions often only happen on base models.

I have used 86GB of internal with the rest on the SD. That is near-zero photos, a few streaming playlists, 2 game apps, and almost no documents. Apps take up ridiculous amounts of space now because devs don’t give a fuck about space.

On my SD card I have used up 154GB of 256GB.

My music library, all of my photos and videos are stored directly on the SD card, backups from apps, etc…

See how 154 + 86 is way more than 128 and a 256GB SD card cost 30€ while to upgrade to 256GB internal would be more than 800% the cost? And the sum above would be at the limit of 256GB anyway? They didn’t offer a 512GB model.

The added benefit of if my phone dies or gets destroyed, the chance that I can just pull my SD card out and have all of my needed info including backups of my TOTP codes and everything without having to go to a multi-hundred euro recovery service.

Dropping instead of blocking might technically be better because it wastes a bit more bot time and they see it as “it doesn’t exist” rather than an obsticle to try exploits on. Not sure if that is true though.

For me:

• ssh server only with keys

• absolutely no ssh forwarding, only available to local network via firewall rules

• docker socket proxy for everything that needs socket access

• drop non-used ports, limit IPs for local-only services (e.g. paperless)

• crowdsec on traefik for the rest (sadly it blocks my VPN IPs also)

• Authelia over everything that doesn’t break the native apps (jellyfin and home assistant are the two that it breaks so far, and HA was very intermittent so I made a separate authelia rule and mobile DNS entry for slightly reduced rules)

• proper umask rules on all docker directories (or as much as possible)

• main drive FDE with a separate boot drive with FDE keyfile on a dongle that is removed except for updates and booting to make snatch-and-grabs useless and compromising bootloader impractical

• full disk encryption with passworded data drives, so even if a smash and grab happens when I leave the dongle in, the sensitive data is still encrypted and the keys aren’t in memory (makes a startup script with a password needed, so no automated startups for me)

I have been happy with PrivateVPN, but I can’t get a read on them.

They say no-log, but many VPNs probably lie about that. Small, based in Sweden.

I just saw on the kumo app literally just now that they got bought out by Miss Group and are no longer independent like when I started with them in 2019.

They have no strikes against them besides the not-disclosed buyout. No idea if I should switch, but they have good prices and port forwarding.

They are a massive megacorp though. It always leaves me to wonder “how much”.

Tons of capitalist companies do stock options where “technically” the employees own a share of the company, though that percentage is usually extremely small, even collectively such that they have no decision power. I can’t help but think that it is similar with huawei, but with better marketing.
