I disclose that I can see your activity, bit realistically it’s so I can see how the encoding process is half a world away. They don’t seem to complain about the quality so seems good to go for me.

Also I wish they sent me notes of which shows has offset subtitles. Can’t watch them all myself

I’m running Immich.

If you have a really robust Internet connection you can reverse proxy into your home server. Make sure it’s SSDs though.

For me I just have 2 people so we share 1tb of a VPS and that satisfies the photos everywhere itch.

I have vital data with a friend who is also in a different continent. But we share some stuff. That one is only 16tb. And on a Pi, unsure how long that thing will last

My cloud is at my parent’s house in a different continent.

48tb of my own data and hardware.

So what actually do you see you keeping with for the next few months.

Do you no longer use Google, Bing, Yahoo search? That’s a win! Can you stick with that for the next few months? Then that’s another win!

Using a private DNS over your ISPs? That’s a win. Still keeping up with it for the next few months? Another win.

Small changes for long term usage is better than changing everything at once and only keeping it for a few days weeks.

It’s not all or nothing.

Like the saying goes. If bacon is the only thing preventing you from being vegetarian, then be a vegetarian who eats bacon.

Add one thing at a time. When you feel ready, then move tot he next project.

The ultimate privacy is to never connect to the Internet, but that’s not very feasible.

Tuta also syncs terribly. Often when I open the app, the latest email are from weeks ago. And you can’t swipe down to refresh. I paid for a year, and quickly gave up within a month.

I’ve bought mine off TheArtofServer. You can ask the seller questions and they’ll happily help. Not to shill but the guy is super passionate about the HBA business.

I currently went overboard and got a tri mode LSI which is quite pricey. But it allows me to mix and match SATA, SAS, and U.2/3

Broadcom 9500-8i Tri-Mode is the model.

For sas and sata only I have a LSI 9305-16i for my big server. The 9305 runs quite cooler, but you pay more upfront.

Yes. When sharing the link you have the option to allow people to upload using that link.

Pretty much I have caddy on a VPS that’s pointing to my internal IP using a tailscale tunnel. You are still exposing the web gui to the Internet so I just changed authentication to OAuth to mitigate since risk. There is still a possibility of attacks via zero days, but my immich is on a VM and I’m creating firewall rules to just allow certain ports out.
