  • Why do so many services require email configuration?

    Jump

  • Do you know of any other near-universal messaging system to use instead?

    Edit: also, the downsides you mentioned depend really hard on the email service you choose to use, or choose to host yourself.

    Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users?

    Jump

  • self-hosting

    and people who want it to work with minimal friction.

    We're talking (potentially) highly sensitive contents here for the most part. Yes, selfhosting has become easier than ever, but at the same time more people who basically lack the experience and/or patience to actually understand what they're doing want to start selfhosting. And that simply doesn't end well in an alarmingly high number of cases.

    Yeah sure, of course there are tools that can make life easier. But have a look at the "big" self-hosting packages. A lot of them will need at least some manual configuration. Then there's the "exposing a host to the open net" aspect, which can (and usually will) introduce a whole different level of attack surfaces.

    So combine that with the ever-growing number of self-hosters, and of course you will notice more advice like that.

  • Backups of Backups

    Jump

  • Nextcloud (later Opencloud) and Immich as primary data sources, backup to:

    • server itself, on mirrored drives
    • NAS
    • 2 external drives periodically (1-2x per week)
    • off site cloud data storage

    This worked and works well for me.

  • What would be interesting to bring to a home made pizza party?

    Jump

  • Tuna, pineapple and onions.

  • Unraid hardware upgrades (couple quick questions)

    Jump

  • Especially older models from the second hand market can get tricky, as getting supported drives will be harder each year. Also, you cannot simply put 18TB drives in there and expect them to work. Also also, a lot of them require SAS drives.

  • Unraid hardware upgrades (couple quick questions)

    Jump

  • The 1070 is probably a waste of power.

    IF you're going the secondhand enterprise gear route, check which drives you can actually use in them. The Dell will likely only take a dozen or so drive models, sometimes locked down to Dell-flashed firmwares. And those can be expensive.

  • Server notifications on fedi

    Jump

  • You know how many server apps will ask for an email address?

    Heck even immich asked for an email address! WTF! Ask me for my mastodon or my Lemmy address!

    Most people have one or more email addresses (the OG federated messaging system) and email notifications pretty much "just work". Compared to email usage, Fediverse users are a rounding error.

  • It's 1am and one of my NAS hard drives is doing the death rattle.

    Jump

  • Maybe look into the 3-2-1 backup scheme while you're at it.

    Jump

  • Perfect occasion for one of the remaining drives to die during resilvering. I hope your backups are up to date?

  • Immich Frame crashes chromium after extended period of time?

    Jump

  • Ah, apparently I misread, I thought Immich was running on the same Pi.

    You could try another browser, but you'll still have to check other possible sources. RAM usage, system log, etc.

  • Immich Frame crashes chromium after extended period of time?

    Jump

  • randomly the pi will just be on the home screen instead of full screen chromium.

    Sounds a bit like the system running out of RAM and killing off Chromium.

    • system specs?
    • OS?
    • do you monitor your system continually?
    • does Immich itself show any signs of failure? Because reconnect on browser reopen sounds like it keeps working. OR it restarts automatically, but that shouldn't kill Chromium.

  • ADVICE: Running out of storage

    Jump

  • Do you have room for a HDD? Power budget, monetary budget, SATA ports?

    The good thing is that a mechanical HDD is still loads faster than needed for serving media, unless you're hitting massive user numbers, so there's usually no need to put media on expensive SSDs.

  • You would think she'd prefer the cube that's explicitly set up as a bed, but noooo

    Jump

  • She'd prefer the box the whole thing came in.

  • To make ends meet, Argentines sell their possessions

    Jump

  • How does this fit here?

  • Does this software exist?

    Jump

  • The software part isn't the issue, the massive database of contact infos would be.

  • What's your favorite joke that doesn't translate to English very well?

    Jump

  • German.

  • Tandoori Chicken Naan

  • It was delicious. A bit messy to eat, but that's half the fun.

  • Immich 2.1 Released with Better Slideshow Shuffle, New Notifications

    Jump

  • Which isn't a great idea with all the breaking changes. I'd assume it gets better after v2, but still.

  • Apple Vision Pro

    Jump

  • No one needs it, and not enough Apple diehards want it.
