Bluesky is a lot easier to use vs fediverse stuff, discovering stuff is also easier in my experience vs mastodon.

Why so angry?

This lets you share photos without directly exposing Immich to the internet.

I don’t see the point in getting so worked up over someones project they made and decided to share, it’s not like you’re being forced to use it.

Sounds like you need to set up the Jellyfin server as a windows service so it starts without logging in. I’m surprised it doesn’t do this automatically as part of the installer setup.

Alternatively you can just set up auto-login for your windows user account, but that gives you no security from local access.

Essentially you need a load balancer hosted somewhere that the traffic hits before getting routed to one of the 2 servers. That could be a VPS running Traefik if you prefer that.

Alternatively you could both run something like IPFS and run the static site on that, but anyone accessing the site would either need IPFS installed, or use a gateway hosted somewhere (Cloudflare has a public for example).

It’s kind of depressing how fragmented the Matrix ecosystem is, a bunch of clients but none seem to support everything together, servers that are slow and bloated, and don’t support super basic maintenance tasks like cleaning up old stuff, etc…

Maybe? Do those folders have anything you need in them?

Yeah some people would do that.

Generally toyotapartsdeal.com because their prices are pretty good.

For generic non-OEM stuff I almost always use rockauto

An AFK kick seems simple enough to stop most of those situations.

There isn’t a true replacement for Wordpress because of the sheer availability of plugins it has.

But for simple sites like blogs and personal sites Grav CMS is one I’ve used, and it gives you a web admin panel similar to Wordpress, so the learning curve isn’t too bad.

Drupal also gets mentioned a lot as a replacement.

There are also static site generators like Hugo, but those require learning a lot about the specific one you use, and are pretty complex to use, and if you need non-static content like a web form or something it can add a lot of complexity to your whole setup.

Gotcha, in that case maybe a container? You can use a bind mount to link a folder on the host to inside the container. You could use docker/podman or LXC.

It can be anything you want.

How you change it depends on the specific server you’re using, I use SFTPGo for a webdav server and when I create a new user it just asks where the data should go.

Does rclone support the cloud service?

Software RAID is generally better in every way, also no hardware to fail.

Keep multiple reliable (and tested) backups, if something fails restore a backup.

Don’t rely on any storage, RAID or anything else to be recoverable when something goes wrong.

Backrest is also great, just a nice webUI for Restic.

It’s wild just how slow most thumb drives benchmark even with recent models, the Samsung Bar at 36MB/s is just ridiculous, that’s 30 minutes of waiting to fill it up entirely!

A basic V30 microSD card is at least that fast!

Yes I’m waiting until it’s ready for the average user before I recommend it to anyone.

Sure:

• Proxmox backs up all my VMs/CTs nightly to the proxmox backup server I run as a VM with an external HDD attached to it. This keeps around 30 versions with a retention policy so I can go back pretty far if needed. These are full bootable images and include everything.

• Restic (using Backrest to manage it), runs on any VMs/CTs with critical data, and backs up to Backblaze B2 every night as well, this is a more limited choice of the critical files that I’d need. Similar retention policy as the proxmox backup.

With both I try and do some full restores every month or two and test things out.

I use watchtower to auto update everything.

Anything that needs a specific version for compatibility (Postgres mostly) is pinned to the major release.

Stuff occasionally breaks, but I have backups for that reason (if you don’t, set that up now before anything else, they should be running daily at least and you should have 2 types of backup minimum).
