Until someone comes up with private Immich managed hosting that has shared albums and doesn’t cost a fortune, I have to stick with Google photos. Other than that, google Maps (nothing compares, sorry) and an old gmail address I don’t want to delete just in case someone needs to reach me, that’s all I use.
How did you set them up with Plex?
I tried TubeArchivist a while back but as I recall it was much more about archiving entire channels and didn’t have great customization like “Only keep latest two episodes”. It might have changed since then.
Last time I looked into it something wasn’t working right about it, or maybe it was just more complicated than I wanted but maybe I’ll give it another go…
Can FreshRSS auto-download YouTube videos with SponsorBlock? That could be a game changer…
It was about a year ago so maybe it’s improved since then. One specific hiccup I recall with Mint that I didn’t have with Bazzite was getting acceleration in a browser. I’m certainly not recommending Nvidia users avoid Mint!
As others have said, you can run Home Assistant on anything if you want to just test it out. Their own hardware is a great choice though.
But to answer your broader question, yes. Home Assistant is the choice. It works better with literally everything else out there.
Yes a little bit if you have an Nvidia card, and Bazzite has the option to boot right into a Steam Deck like interface which is great for controller gamers.
To be clear Mint is a totally fine choice too, but for gaming and especially for a total Linux newbie Bazzite is the choice.
OK great thanks for the reply and yes it was a color one. I don’t really need color but it still scared me. My Oasis is almost 10 years old now I assumed the tech would have improved dramatically.
Looking at the Boox Go 7 now I think as it’s the most similar to the Oasis without being Amazon
Bazzite 100%. It’s the best out of the box gaming distro, and bonus points for immutability (not that your friend needs to know what that is).
I’m not really looking for specs I’m looking to visually compare.
I can see you care about this a lot, so please tell me; in your opinion at what point does a PC cease to be “self hosted”? When it’s carried across the property line? Maybe if the electricity bill is paid by a roommate?
Love to see the people in here gatekeeping “selfhosting” 🙄
We’re all just out here trying to escape big tech. A docker container doesn’t suddenly stop becoming “selfhosted” once the hard drive it’s on crosses a property line. Who the hell cares, seriously.
Yeah I saw that… not really what I would consider a “web backup” exactly. I was hoping they were rolling out encrypted photo storage plans.
I can’t find anything about the web backups in the article or release notes.
Back up an image the entire operating system HD when it’s working well. If you ever get overwhelmed with bugs you can always go back to a functioning state.
We all like checking out the latest features and updates but it’s important to remember that it’s not a race.
I think your URL to the github is a hyperlink back to this post…
I love the description.
Hey everyone, so you just finished setting up the *Arr stack and your dashboards lookin crisp. But you look at your htop and see… unused RAM. It’s disgusting, isn’t it?
Nothing wrong with Ubuntu, but it’s interface is definitely geared more towards Mac folks.
My recommendation for someone making the jump to full time Linux is Fedora Kinoite. It’s “immutable” meaning impossible to break, and uses KDE Plasma, which is like the modern Windows you’ve always wanted.
Again nothing wrong with Ubuntu, it’s great and will run on the hardware you mentioned, but if you are someone who wants to tweak settings without fear of breaking something somewhere else, I really recommend Kinoite.
that’s not how any of this works
I loved this episode, it was really funny to hear “normal” people navigating getting an instance up and running, but they did without too much trouble. They also have 7K monthly active users since creating it, which is a great infusion of fresh blood to the fediverse.
