- Comment on Finding a private self hosted Google Photos alternative that doesn’t profit from my photos 1 week ago:
It feels quite equal now that immich is stable. I was actually waiting for that, because I knew the updates before the stable release were sometimes painful and I didn’t want to do that on my production env. 😀

In immich you can also get the files organized in folders. I have it year > month > day. You can create templates for how you want to organize it.

Proton services generally are not bad, but I could never use Proton Drive for anything else than mid to long term backups, because they don’t have it integrated with Linux. I am not angry though, it is what it is and I am only in the niche (even-though Linux is the best OS for privacy). Ever since I have setup my Truenas (and Immich) I find myself caring even less about not being able to use Proton drive 😀 That said, once they have integration I want to use it for a few files.

I have experience with both Ente and Immich and I can say they are both excellent. I like Ente a little bit more, but Immich is imho better for selfhosting (both are easy to self host). What I like about Immich in that regard is that it keeps photos organized as files too, they can be categorized in folders (like year > month > day and its customizable). I just want to have an option to have access to the files directly on the filesystem and if (big if) Immich dies, I still have my photos accessible and organized in directories without me needing to do anything. Ente uses s3 storage system.

I have the first one and its good. Could have a bit better range, I suppose that’s where the 2 comes in, but otherwise very stable and easy to use.
- Comment on Tutorial series for self hosting beginners? 1 week ago:
Seems like you know what you need to study. I’d suggest searching for the topics and reading. Don’t try to skim, there is a lot to read and learn but it will be worth it, it will open many doors for you. Tutorials in this domain have usually an issue that following a track to achieve something the author can’t really explain everything on the path to the depth because, well, it would be lots of reading anyway and it would end up to be documentation rather than tutorial.
What I tend to do, it may or may help you, depends on your individual way of learning, is I search for a topic to find some good article. Takes time, but then, usually, after the read I have more things from the article I need to understand more. This sort of branching leads to a good wholesome of a knowledge. In the past I used to skim a lot, which resulted in a lots of trial and error instances, eventually it lead to frustration from not knowing what the heck I am doing. When I realized reading and understanding should not really be skipped/skimmed, I started learning a lot.
- Comment on How do you handle junk email? 1 week ago:
Well… Been using Proton since 2020 and ever since that I don’t have spam issues. I am also using aliases, so if somebody sends me way too many newsletters I just disable the alias.

Cool, I will check it, the more resources on this the better, thanks!

Oh wow, I was looking for this not long time ago and didn’t find it. I will try it 😀 Thanks a lot. I will let you know if I have same problem/manage to solve it somehow.

but provides mechanisms for the companies or the courts to reject or challenge these if they believe the request violates the privacy rights of the foreign country the data is stored in
require American companies to seek clearance from European officials before complying with United States warrants seeking private data.
Again I am not saying US is ok, but for every 1 PRISM in US there is 100 in china.

I saw a tutorial on how to bypass the battery entirely. It was oneplus 6 phone and I definitely want to do it 😀… found it: blog.kedio.co/…/how-to-run-a-oneplus-6t-without-b…

I wish I could install postmarketOS on my Lumia 😢 I do have it on my old oneplus though 🥳

I don’t trust the biggest guys on the market… I wouldn’t trust iRobot if Amazon did acquire it. But smaller companies do not have enough leverage on EU (I am from EU). They have to adhere, there are audits that must be made and I somehow trust more in audits and rule adherence on US side rather than the Chinese ones.

It is, but such solutions do not always meet with wife’s approval 😅

I am not fan of America, believe me, but US companies (apart from Zuck and a few others) still have more incentive to adhere to EU rules than the Chinese ones. Also the Chinese companies have to also adhere to Chinese govt rules.

Sure, if you want China to have videos of you, your kids and your home. Roomba so far has the “best” privacy policy from all the companies. I am not saying its warranted, it never is with proprietary software/hardware, but Chinese companies are known for ignoring laws regarding privacy.
- Comment on Where do I even start? 3 weeks ago:
Not even looking into VPNs in general. He can start by looking into tailscale specifically. But I agree opening ports should be a NO GO, especially for beginners.
- Comment on What budget friendly GPU for local AI workloads should I aim for? 4 weeks ago:
I bought rtx 2060 12 Gigz vram edition for about 150 bucks and it runs pretty well. 4B models run well, I even ran 12B models and while its not the fastest experience, its still decent enough. Sad truth is that nvidia gpus are miles better than any other cards for ai even running linux.
- Comment on Gadgetbridge data dashboard 4 weeks ago:
I think that we put too many things into home assistant and it’s becoming the everything app. Personally, I prefer some level of separation. Actually having a separate dashboard, self hosted app for just a gadgetbridge would be nice and there is a potential that in the future it can aggregate from more apps than just the gadgetbridge. Just an example, I am currently using Endurain for my workouts. I use open tracks to record them and then I upload them to Endurain. I do this exactly because I want to have stats on the desktop somewhere and I do care more about workouts than any other stats, but if there were also my sleep stats and steps and stuff that would be really nice.
- Comment on I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against. 4 weeks ago:
I have recently moved non-vm truenas to a new hardware and actually it was a breeze. I just created the backup, disconnected the drives, physically put them into the new server, install the truenas, restored the backup, and it was done. I understand that everyone has different preferences. I’m just saying that it’s easy to move truenas without it being the VM as well.
- Comment on I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against. 4 weeks ago:
Agreed. Proxmox is not worth the complexity. Install truenas, you can put all the apps on that and you can have home assistant in VM. All you need is one machine. I actually have this setup. I only installed Proxmox on other machine to test it and to install OpenWRT and a bunch of networking software on that. If I feel confident, I will use this as my new router, but that’s long way to go.
- Comment on Gadgetbridge data dashboard 5 weeks ago:
I can tell you that the best one man projects are those that they do first and foremost for themselves, because a/they enjoy it a lot and b/you see a lots of thought behind the project. So thats what i recommend, start by doing what you need and eventually the project will grow and maybe people will join…
- Comment on Two VPNs? 3 months ago:
You are welcome 😊 I am using it for several months now and it is great. The only think I want to figure out in the future is how to do it so that it rotate some servers.

- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday! 3 months ago:
I was also enjoying my stable homelab until… well lets just say I got cheap parts here, nice stuff there and now I am building myself a new system and I started by stripping a case I got for 20 bucks and totally spray painting it, got some nice black and white cables, wanna display my nas this time instead of hiding it in the cupboard. After that I will put in the parts I got and then I need to migrate everything from the old nas (well hopefully I just put the drives in and it works). Soooo… Yeah 😀
- Comment on WatchTower Issues 5 months ago:
Exactly. It’s simple, it integrates with home assistant and I have a few images that I like to choose when to do the update, so its perfect for me :)
- Comment on WatchTower Issues 5 months ago:
If anyone is interested in just a simple image updates monitoring, check out cup.I know its not exactly what you want (it doesn’t do the update), but I stumbled on it quite by accident and I like the simplicity.
- Comment on PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google 5 months ago:
I mean… glass half full or half empty… You can appreciate how enthusiastic he was about it and how many people saw the video, or you can just complain… Btw. if he should do more, it will be the positive feedback he gets about it, not the negative one which is just demotivating…
- Comment on PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google 5 months ago:
Same here. There were times where my eyes went up just hearing mentions of the guy, but nowadays, there are some videos I kinda enjoy watching (rare but yea)

I though (not sure if I remember correctly) LBRY is basically dead after the lawsuits. The network was overtaken and is basically another corpo shait…
