I like to tell people: “if there’s one thing I know, it’s trivia!”

As if I would ever do crossfit lmao.

After yoloing it for years, I finally deployed an offaite backup this month. I also host on Nextcloud (at my house). While I do have a local disk backing up my Nextcloud install, I didn’t have any backups of the external media hosting my photos.

Finally, I ordered a 10TB external drive and plugged it into a raspberry pi I had sitting around. Using wireguard and restic, I now have an offsite backup at a friend’s house!

I set mine up with Debian and Swizzin community edition.

Check out Yunohost. In my experience it is way easier to setup and manage than docker. I’ve been using it for years and it continues to improve and add more supported software.

Drop it on a cop from a high window.

Bill Gates’ PR game is strong, and he has lot of people fooled into thinking he’s a good-guy billionaire. The revelations about his ties to Epstein made a good dent, but I guess a lot of people are too invested in their feelings.

Researching and shopping is almost always what puts an end to the interest for me.

I couldn’t find any “about” info anywhere.

Who is the author of this response?

Came here to say pretty much the same thing. I basically already host “disroot” services for myself.

I run it with Yunohost.

VPS is not that much, especially if you aren’t storing a ton of media. Digital Ocean and Hetzner are good places to look. This will also prevent some networking headaches you’re likely to have hosting it “on prem”.

If part of your reason for doing this is to involve the kids in the process, then it’s better to do it locally. Someone in the org has or can find an unused desktop computer that you guys can have fun with for pretty much zero cost. You will probably have trouble trying to connect to it from outside your network though.

I can think of few things more boring than databases. I just want my files synced and stored.

Love my Navidrome server, though I use Substreamer on Android since it’s “free” and free.

I’ve got the 20TB box for my Jellyfin library. Works great.

About 18 TB.

This person is desperately trying to convince themself. Once the finance capitalists gain control they will be steering the company. They don’t care about long term profits if they can squeeze high short term profits. They don’t give a shit about the company, especially in tech. They’ll sell off any IP (or keep it for their collection) when it’s time for bankruptcy and move on to the next target.

All this discussion about captchas raises a question for me: if fingerprinting is so accurate and easy, that ublock, no cookies and a VPN don’t help… then why the fuck do I have to keep doing captchas?

Navidrome for me. Installed via Yunohost.
