  • What item(s) that you currently own do you expect to be using for the rest of your life given that you don't break or lose it?

  • My collection of straight razors.

    Most are made somewhere in the last century, some are even older then that. These have a theoretical lifespan as sharpening them will remove the tiniest bit of metal but as I have 100+ of them I think I will never ever have to buy a razor again in my life. Heck, even my children and their grandchildren will be able to use them. If they have the nerve and courage to use them that is.

  • Just learned how to do a reverse proxy

    Jump

  • Used to mess around with multiple Apache Proxy Servers. When I left that job I found Docker and (amongst other things) NPM and I swear, I stared at the screen in disbelief on how easy the setup and config was. All that time we wasted on Apache, the issues, the upgrades, the nightmare in setting it all up...

    If I were to do that job again I would not hesitate to use NPM 100% and stop wasting my time with that Apache Proxy mess.

  • Those of you that have had encounters with wild mountain lion, what happened and what was it like?

    Jump

  • Chances of me encountering a Polar bear are practically non-existing, as would encountering a Mountain lion for that matter, but I know I would be infinitely more scared for a Polar bear.

    The cat might be hungry, might be just curious but will probably leave you alone.

    A Polar bear though? If you see it, it already knows about you (heard, smelt or seen you) and you can count on 1 of 2 things happening from that moment on. 1) it is contemplating how to hunt you or 2) it is already actively hunting you.

    The thing is, for a Mountain lion there are possibilities of food besides you. You are a big risk for that lion and it will most probably go for easier options. For a Polar bear it is a must to hunt you as the opportunities to get food on polar regions is infinitesimally smaller than on other hunting grounds where Mountain lions would hunt.

    Mountain lions would get my hair to stand on end and make me alert but I walk on nonetheless.Polar bears would send me running for the nearest concrete hut and hope the door will hold.

  • Need a self hosted solution to offload old Photos's from iPhones to make space in iCloud for new ones

  • Ok, thanks. I think that the combo Immich and icloudpd seems to be a way forward for now as that combo seems to be able to download iCloud files to local (my server) and delete them from iCloud. Once on my server I can move them to Immich and that should just about be it. Famous last words, I know, but I think it will be fine.

  • That is a good method it seems. So Immich has a feature to backup iCloud/Photos files and use these images. If so then deleting is the only thing left. Did you ever consider using icloudpd to do the transfer of files and have that also delete the files in iCloud? That seems like a solution where you are no longer required to manually delete the files anymore.

  • Understood.And please accept my belated sympathy for your endeavor with your mom's Library of Congress sized photo album vault, that must have been tiring.

  • Exactly as I had it in my head atm!This setup is very clear to me and doable. Thanks for all your help and suggestions!

  • Aha! I'm starting to get the picture. icloudpd to download to my server and Immich (or something like that) to use these downloaded images.

    Oh boy, this is not going to be a 1-click whambalam fix is it? 😃

    Ah well, gives me something to do and look into, it can be considered fun as well of course!

  • Seems Immich is quite popular and also seems like something I could start to use.If only we could point the Photos app to Immich or have Immich download and remove images which are older and could be moved to Immich.

  • Immich seems a real good option! And I am starting to believe that moving pictures from iCloud to another solution to free up space might have to involve another type of system/service unfortunately. Also seems that the Photos app on the iPhone has no options to use something else as storage, it uses local storage and iCloud storage.

  • Ok, I understand. How did you manage the pictures taken on phones after the move to ente? Perhaps once in a while bulk transfer them manually? Or perhaps tell the camera app to start using ente (if such a thing is even possible)?

  • I was considering nextcloud but was not sure if it would fit my needs, hence I asked the people here as I have seen a lot of people talk about nextcloud so I wanted to see if their experiences fit my needs.

    Is nextcloud taking the pictures from iCloud and then delete them or dou you need to instruct nextcloud to do this or do you need to do that part manually?

  • This is an interesting one. Seems this one has has the backend and frontend covered. Does ente take the photos from iCloud and then remove them to free up space on iCloud?

  • Does this chain need another service to make the photos 'usable' for all the family members? I am not seeking just a safe place to store photos I will delete from iCloud, these photos are (ideally) also still available to view on the phones of all family members.
