Damn, I have a 3rd gen one.
- Comment on Question about Docmost 2 weeks ago:
Can’t answer the license stuff, but I’ve been using Docmost with a group of six other friends for about a year now and have enjoyed it. Mildly annoyed about some features locked on my fully self hosted and private instance but hasn’t been enough of an annoyance that I’ve cared to look for an alternative. We use it pretty regularly.
My actual biggest complaint is I made a feature suggestion a long time ago which someome was very kind enough to program and add a pull request, but the maintainer refuses to implement. Oh well.

Restore a backup and make sure everything is where you left it.
- Comment on These are the kind of reactions I get when I recommend Anubis to deal with bots at work, what alternatives are there? 4 weeks ago:
It has been an upsetting thread to read; in frustrated on your behalf OP. I think many commenters here have not worked in the kind of environment you’re describing, and “get another job” is deeply unhelpful advice.

Mealie has been great for my partner and myself.

I also use this service.
- Comment on Hosting external services 1 month ago:
If people want to use a service you’re putting in the effort (and money) hosting, they can put in the effort to learn how to access it, however you choose. Otherwise they can kick rocks.

- Comment on Standalone cameras 1 month ago:
Wasn’t Eufy caught uploading data workout consent? Memory is a little fuzzy but I believe it was something like thumbnails being stored in an insecure cloud whether you liked it or not.
- Comment on Do any self hostable security cameras support a VPN to upload footage to another site? 2 months ago:
Their title and post mention VPNs multiple times. The P is Private. They also mention wanting to use their own storage, again implying privacy. Their entire post implies they care about privacy.
- Comment on The hardest choices require the strongest wills 2 months ago:
While I agree that sucked hard, it’s not exactly a like comparison to the software in OP.
- Comment on Do any self hostable security cameras support a VPN to upload footage to another site? 2 months ago:
Recommending Eufy to someone specifically asking for privacy focused suggestions is wild.
They were caught, and admitted to, lying about being offline only, and storing unencrypted thumbnails, if memory serves. They got fined for it and I’m sure they say they’re doing better but how can you trust them after that?
I would avoid Eufy given the context of post, OP.
- Comment on Critical Keycloak Vulnerability (CVSS 9.1) - CVE-2026-18963 2 months ago:
I appreciate you taking the time to write this out, but I knew all of that and didn’t really address the question. I was asking why the commenter above mine was using an auth service, like Keycloak, on LAN.
It has been answered a few times, thanks.
- Comment on Critical Keycloak Vulnerability (CVSS 9.1) - CVE-2026-18963 2 months ago:
Out of curiosity, what is the advantage of using something like this on LAN only?
- Comment on Laptop as server, how to best manage battery? 5 months ago:
There’s no supposing necessary. It was a fire hazard, and presently not eventually. When something has caused a fire, it’s no longer a hazard, it’s just, you know, a fire.

Then call it Matrix. They don’t need to know and probably don’t care about the specific server software you’re using.
