  • I'm doing my part! 🩷🩵🤍 🦈

  • I just went to ebay and goodwill for my tech stuff. Goodwill is a tad annoying though cause their online shop is literally only bids, so have fun watching the price shot up in the last few days.

  • Or set up a listenbrainz.org account to get weekly recommendation playlist, check the accounts of people who listen to similar artists, and click through those addictive spider web charts that show you a bunch of artists who are similar to the one you're listening to.

    There's also Rate Your Music, which I don't have an account at but it still seems pretty good.

  • Yeah, I got 4 used 2TB hard drives on Amazon back in early 2024 with a $100 gift card and still had a few bucks left over, and now I see that you basically can't find a single 2TB drive lower than $70...

    I wish I started my homelab sooner...

  • My takeout had everything, even random shit I should've deleted forever ago lol. I'd just check for the most important pics (weddings, vacations, etc.) that you would actually be devestated to lose. You can always wait a month or so before deleting to verify your media transferred fine.

  • Really weird, I've never had a takeout download limit or issue; does it fail on both .tgz and .zip versions? Maybe try just outright downloading a few batches of pics at a time and then uploading them to Immich.

  • Like the other comment said, I did a Google takeout of my photos, then used immich-go to transfer them. Was pretty painless, got it done in a few hours, probs less if I was less dummy.

    Here's the guide I followed.

  • Yeah, but at least it'll all be outdated and nothing new is added. And hey, maybe in the future we could get laws that force them to delete anything older than a certain date. Would leaving them there be any better?

  • Alright, I already transfered the pics to my Immich a month ago anyway, time to delete my shit outright...

  • Thanks for the heads up, I was trying to find if they're still facist. I always felt bad seeing how much promotion framework laptops get after their lukewarm response, and now I can recommend an alternative.

  • I'm asking as a genuine question, where or how should people backup large datastores? Also what counts as too large? I've heard Backblaze doesn't cover NAS so i wouldn't be able to backup my 2TB zfs RAID, but like is that too much?

    I want to do 3-2-1 for my homelab to preserve all pictures in my immich and the backups of my LXCs and VMs, but I'm just not sure how to go about it, and I was considering archives of those files + backblaze...

  • What I want to do is set up an Arrstack, and I know I need to put Docker and maybe Portainer? I have no experience with Docker though.

    I used DockSTARTer and TraSH Guides to set up a docker instance running the arr stack in a Debian VM. I still should take the time to learn more about it though.

    I also want to put some basic things I and others can access remotely like a shopping list program, photo backups, period tracker, and DnD software. But I'm very afraid of exposing the server to the internet and it being hacked or such. I know there's something called Tailscale but I'm not sure if that's what I need.

    As of now, it's pretty much just me accessing my services, but I did use Netbird (similar to Tailscale) to make a VPN to my home network for my friends to access my minecraft server. My setup is jank though, a shared account for all my friends while I have my own. I definitely need to just use another method to host stuff so no account login sharing is being done.

    I picked Tailscale to avoid major provider login (Google) and I plan to selfhost it one day...

  • Buy used. Google meets their security standards.

    Or just wait for the Motorolas with preinstalled Graphene. We're unsure of when they're coming though.

  • Man the custom ROM life just reinforces my idea that stock Android is a fucking nightmare. I use Graphene and it just asks, "Hey, do you want to install this app (+ without network access?" Yes? Neat, it's on your phone now. The literal only roadblock is enabling installs from non-appstore apps like browser or files, which makes sense. No fear mongering, no developer mode, no wait a day to do it.

  • Two: having the enter the address in a non-standard way (for the US) City, Street, Building Number, makes finding things even harder.

    THAT'S why i always struggled to look up buildings on Comaps! Hell, I wondered why the sesrch was so hard!

    My main issue is the lack of traffic data. I wish I didn't live in a car-centric society, but i do, so I need to know if the route I'm taking is going to be shit.

  • Oh, I totally understand the software side would be different due to running different firmware, and yeah I wasn't expecting to be able to use the vendor management systems. I was more worried abiut the hardware, but you cleared that up a bit :)

    I've never heard of OpenWISP, but I'll keep it in mind if I've ever got a bunch of devices I need to manage!

  • I've been using YT music anyway, but I recently started using my Navidrome server by just yt-dlp'ing albums + tag with MusicBrainz picard and boom. A bunch of songs I can own until my server burns down.

    I feel a little bad about pirating, but I'm a college student who hasn't even gotten a job yet... But I will be buying merch or music off bandcamp in the future when I know I have the budget for it!

  • I used to use the ListenBrainz app to scrobble from YT music until it had a stroke around December, so now I use Pano Scrobbler on Android. You can tell it what apps to monitor/scrobble from.

    I found a web scrobbler extension that seems to be pretty popular on github that's available for like every browser and supports multiple services. But I haven't tried this before yet.

    I also selfhost a Navidrome, which can scrobble automatically on both web or via Andriod clients like Tempus once you link your account in the server settings. I love my Navidrome + Tempus combo ❤️

  • Okay you triggered my growing fixation to this game and I've been trying to hold myself back from buying it since I have a massive backlog to get through.

    I really want to see the lore of this game knowing that it's basically got three parts to it.
