It does take quite a bit of upkeep, especially if you don’t use it frequently. I recently found my instance broke due to a bad addon, and then Authelia also broke because NC decided thier OIDC addon is not supported on the latest v32. I was able to re-enable without issue, but still flagged as unsupported.

Sounds like I’m talking myself into Immich already haha.

I simply don’t put data I care about on USB drives any more. They are all basically boot drives or a way to transfer firmware files.

The issue for me is that Nextcloud has these features as well with App add-ons. I have yet to try Immich because what’s more important for me is the actual backup\upload of my photos than actually browsing them. Maybe someday, but my self hosting initiatives typically involve me chasing a shiny red ball of a deployment, and Immich just isn’t shiny enough for me yet.

Tylenol told him they’d sue his pants off is likely what happened here. It’s only a US brand of a more generic aspirin after all. So which is it, the generic drug, or the brand name that causes autism? Surely can’t be both in this case.

I recently set up quite a few friends and family with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise licenses thanks to MassG. Told them if they don’t get updates past next Tuesday to let me know.

Just buy a domain for 10-20 a year and host a dynamic IP updater internally. Just another layer to self hosting and getting off cloud services entirely.

At least you can still program those remotes though. Mine is still going strong after many years.

This is the one I went with along with a supermicro server board. The company has been great as I’ve already needed replacement rack screws and a new control board due to my own foolishness. They shipped me replacements at no charge very promptly.

Same recommendation here. I went through two QNAP units before being fed up and building my own 12 Bay for about 1200. My first QNAP died shortly after the 3 year warranty expired and the second died shortly before. I was able to RMA the second and sell it to recoup some money towards building my own TrueNAS system that I can now fix myself and not rely on proprietary anything.

Buy your candy at the end of August like I do and they are half price or even lower. This is what happens when you wait until what you would think the opportune time to buy your Halloween candy is.

Holy shit, I love you wind taking abilities. I too had no idea who he was but thankfully don’t have to deal with confronting propogandized family members.

The new Naked Gun with Liam Neeson is pretty phenomenal.

Yeah, now think of how many 1x1 pieces there are in here that adds to piece count. As I’ve built a few more sets recently, the amount of 1x1 is rediculous given they could use 2x1 or 3x1 in many situations I’ve seen their usage in. And it’s in almost every single set.

Trying to sub to their forum on lemmy.dbzero.com but getting a server error when I enter lemmy.world to subscribe from. Does that mean it’s defederated from lemmy.world?

Onto the supreme Court where it will likely get shut down because this is against capitalism. I wish humans weren’t as stupid as we are.

My wife is a middle school teacher and I 100% feel your pain through her.

So yeah… I noticed you haven’t filed your TPS reports this week.

At 10 they should know better. Now, I don’t know the dynamic of this “neighborship”, and pettiness is not the way to go about anything. At the same time though, it’s only water.

I’ve had two QNAP NAS fail on me, never again. The first failed shortly after the 3-year warranty expired and was MSRP $600. The second failed right before warranty expiration with MSRP $1200 thinking a better unit would be less prone to fail, but alas.

Thankfully I was able to RMA to get my data back (proprietary RAID), and while waiting on RMA to return, built a custom TrueNAS server I can service all parts on myself for around the same cost of a new NAS. Sold the RMA unit on eBay to recoup some cost as well. All I ever ran on those units was Plex and Samba\NFS file shares. Never again.

As a parent with kids who are starting to dip their roles into the digital age, I would also say this is mainly a parenting issue, but the economic “squeeze” is the other part.

There are so many tools available to manage the content your kids consume - ad blockers, family accounts with monitoring and management, ect. I may be biased as I’m in the IT profession, but if you live in this digital age and claim ignorance on anything technology related then it’s no wonder we are on the state we are in.

Many of the responsibilities the US government agencies used to take on themselves have been eroded to be handled by the individual, coupled with a subscription society for the or day to day appliances and tools we use. After working a full time job M-F, and if I don’t have after hours tasks to handle I get maybe 1 hour worth of family before it’s time to pack it up for the night. Weekends are typically house work or chores. I consider myself fortunate to have that much. Squeeze in management of my kids content intake and that’s just more time taken away from everything else on the list.

I’ll do it though because I’ll be damned if my kids grow up like these kids are now.
