If you want to self-host, I recommend a used business thin client, docker + docker-compose, and Tailscale for access away from home if needed. Don’t forget to dump & back up nightly.

Edit: thin client because it beats a pi in every respect and doesn’t run on an SD card. Tailscale because you don’t have to open ports in your firewall and point a public domain at your house.

Or you could use hosted services, neon.tech and turso both offer really generous free tiers for SQL databases.

Or you could use a notebook and pen. Sometimes simplicity is king.

They’ve slowed down with those a bit recently, haven’t they?

I’d been considering it for awhile, but thought it wasn’t worth the trouble of switching until I realized just how often I do things the tedious manual way because writing a bash script to do it is so arcane

This is why I finally switched to nushell.

The trickier part here his connecting your domain to your raspberry pi and allowing the big internet to access it. You have a few options:

• Set up dynamic DNS to direct your domain name to your (presumably dynamic) home IP address. Assign the rpi a static IP address on your home network. Forward ports 80 and 443 to that address. The world knows your home IP address, and you’re dependent on your router for security. No spam or DDOS protection.
• Use a service such as cloudflare tunnel. You’re dependent on cloudflare or whoever, but it’s an easier config, you don’t need to open ports in your firewall, and your home IP address is not public. (I recommend this option.)

Either way, don’t forget to set up HTTPS. If you aren’t dead-set on using nginx, caddyserver does this entirely automatically.

I’ve been using caddyserver for awhile and love it. Config is nicely readable and the defaults are very good.

Last nvidia gpus I owned were water-cooled GTX 670s in SLI back when I ran windows. Ever since then I’ve always chosen AMD or intel, because of the in-kernel drivers.

Yeah, I don’t buy nvidia for this exact reason. No amount of performance matters if the drivers are broken

Was the last time you read or heard anything about Wayland 15 years ago?

Yes it’s an LLM called pandoc, you can run it locally

I have 113k images going back two decades. The screenshot above doesn’t include RAW files, with those included I’m around 2 terabytes of total storage.

• Immich is in fact a photo album, and a damn good one at that.
• Immich keeps google’s grubby paws off my photos. I don’t need or want anyone datamining every precious memory I have in order to modify my behavior to their benefit.
• Immich shares photos between my wife and my phones.
• Immich ensures that if I lose my phone, my photos aren’t lost.
• Immich lets me easily re edit and re-export RAW files without creating duplicates or losing metadata
• Immich lets me conveniently share photos with friends and family without requiring them to have an account anywhere.

Mostly I self-host things when I want data synchronized between multiple devices, or I don’t want to lose it in the event I lose the device it was created on.

Also, like, phone screens are tiny and typing on them is terrible? Why would you want to do everything on your phone?

If encryption is enabled, don’t worry about it. Otherwise ‘dd if=/dev/zero of=definitely-the-bad-drive-do-not-fuck-this-up bs=4M’

Agreed, that should be many tens of pages not one. Also the mobile layout isn’t very good. I think it’s important to remember that normies use their phones for almost everything.

Got a 3 year old kid with another on the way. I just need it to be reliable so the kid can watch Sesame Street and the lights keep working.

You can go a lot higher than 1000 without optimizing for UPS, they’ve made a lot of performance improvements over the years. Highly hardware dependent, of course

I just scrolled the whole thread and can’t find any at all, what are you talking about?

Elitism isn’t „I like arch and I think it is good for some stuff”, it’s „I’m smart because I use arch, you’re dumb if you don’t, and any problems you have with it are your fault.”

This thread once again proving that complaints about arch elitism are 1000x more common than actual arch elitism

Which is why it’s a bottom tier private tracker

Edit: it’s actually not that bad but the rars are annoying and they should stop.

Private trackers tend to be more curated and better organized. Decent filenames, consistent organization and quality, correct metadata, no missing episodes or tracks, no RAR files, etc
