Install Guix
https://netbird.io/ for your own private network of trusted devices, it’s free and doesn’t require a separate Big Tech account to use (unlike Tailscale)
And then if you want to share Jellyfin with someone who isn’t in your Netbird network… believe it or not, also Netbird
LOL. Called it! 🤣
Ooh, the workflows idea is interesting.
What I really want is for my photos to expire.
Most of the photos I take are junk photos: a picture of a receipt, a picture of a sprinkler model number, a picture of a random bug I saw while I was cleaning the pool. I just need these photos once and then I never need them again. I wish they would go away on their own.
Of course, there are also times when I do want to keep pictures, birthdays, vacations, etc.
I wish Immich (or someone) would create a camera with a switch that allows you to pre sort images into albums: permanent vs temporary
Of course, the Big Tech guys would never do this because they want you to store all of that junk on their clouds.
But, Immich could actually help trim junk.
I was just thinking about this the other day: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/tree/main/docker
Make sure to use the docker-compose.yml of the current release: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml
The compose file on main may not be compatible with the latest release.
I definitely have not been checking for updates on the compose files on any of my self hosted apps… I probably should…
I’ll update this setup to use Shamir Secret Sharing more, where I’ll have three pins: my VPS (via Wireguard), a small computer somewhere else in my apartment, and a third at a neighbour (+ TPM on supporting computers).
Cool!
Yeah! Photo storage was the reason I was able to get my brother into self-hosting!
I’m using Radicale + DAVx5 + Fossify Calendar.
Curious what other calendar apps on Android folks use.
Uh, is this closed source?
Hmm… not sure about a specific client… but maybe you could create a child profile and then make sure all your media has the correct parental ratings? Then you can limit the profile to a certain rating.
Not sure what specifically about YouTube Kids you want.
I’m in favor of heavy AI users adding an [] tag to their posts. I don’t think we have to worry too much about AI users trying to pass their work as organic. Almost all AI users I know proudly and annoying shout about how great the AI is. So I think only a minority of AI users would try to hide their AI usage.
I think we should encourage users to add [], but also make it voluntary. We need people to complain in the post when someone doesn’t add the [] tag, but they should have. I’m guessing here, but I think the more people complain about the missing [] tag, the more likely the project used more AI. I’m guessing if the AI usage is low, like 1 or 2 commits out of 1000, then not as many people would complain.
people like myself who love to work on projects, but often shy away from the commitment, discipline, and responsibility of seeing them through
Username checks out.
You don’t like the one you posted to the Jellyfin comm
I don’t know enough about it to form an opinion about it.
If not then why share it?
Because I thought it was interesting.
If you want GNOME: Bluefin or Bazzite.
Why Bluefin or Bazzite over just regular Silverblue? I’m running Silverblue on a Thinkpad and all the hardware works fine.
I installed Fedora Silverblue on my parent’s laptop almost a year ago and I haven’t had any complaints or issues.
They’re really not tech literate or heavy users so Silverblue is the perfect fit. I installed and configured Librewolf and Bitwarden for them and everything has been running fine. Everything else is vanilla Silverblue.
They don’t know or don’t care about updating software. But Silverblue does flatpak updates automatically in the background. OS and firmware updates are integrated and handled via the Gnome Software Center, so I’ll click the install button every so often when I visit. No terminal required! There is a password prompt, but at least it’s a GNOME shell password prompt, not a terminal password prompt.
Additionally, I was able to get LUKS encryption working without my parents noticing: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/encryption-advice-for-silverblue/162810/7
It’s not the most secure LUKS implementation, but I’m also not worried about state actors hacking my parent’s laptop. Originally, I skipped the disk encryption entirely because the extra password prompt made it harder to use the computer.
Update: Actually, maybe there aren’t any password prompts to update the system. Last night when I shutdown my laptop, I saw there was a “critical update” in GNOME Software Center. I left it alone and didn’t click anything. But when I went to shutdown the laptop, the GNOME shutdown dialog had a marked checkbox that said something like “also apply OS updates on shutdown”. I clicked shutdown and (again no password prompt) the computer shutdown. When I rebooted the computer today, I see there are no more pending software updates!
Streaming server: Navidrome
Desktop client: Navidrome web
Android client: Symfonium
Nice! I’m very tempted… I really like that it’s SailfishOS. I bought an Xperia 10 III with SailfishOS and it works pretty decently. I’ve used the Android compatibility layer, it’s pretty good.
I know it’s not 100% FOSS, but maybe it’s seeming like we could rally around SailfishOS for an alternative to Android and iOS.
Definitely put it behind Netbird.
Also. I have a Jellyfin instance that I share with family, where I actually can’t put all of their client devices behind Netbird.
For that case, I used Netbird’s reverse proxy feature. So technically the Jellyfin instance is exposed to the public internet. HOWEVER, Netbird allows you to block or allow certain IP addresses. So while my Jellyfin instance is technically on the public internet, it’s only accessible from 1 specific public IP.
Otherwise, if you’re on the Netbird VPN, then the domain I have set resolves to the internal IP.
Yeah, hosting your own email server is pretty tough.
I think something like https://migadu.com/ might be more in the middle of hosting your own server and purely using someone else’s frontend.
dick move.
Which users are doing that so I can block them?
Uh… that’s news to me. I’ve been hosting 2 user’s photos for 1.5 years with absolutely zero breaking changes. I just updating from v2 to v3 and nothing broke.
I briefly checked out Ente, but personally I have zero trust for any project that requires users to sign a CLA to contribute like Ente: https://github.com/ente/ente/pull/11084#issuecomment-4762402896
Immich doesn’t do those shenanigans: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/7023#discussioncomment-8433346
CLAs are bad because the project can change the license whenever they feel like it. So Ente is effectively reserving the right to go full evil with their CLA.
Whereas Immich can’t suddenly decide they want to move away from AGPLv3.
