Works with Kagi and Brave too!

NASA and SCUBA are two acronyms that show acronyms clearly don’t have to be pronounced like their source words as a rule.

I’m starting to wonder if a mailpit instance is a bad idea. Just a page you go to where any email goes, make sure it’s not externally accessible.

We are human, we have done almost this exact thing for thousands of years and leave ecosystem devastation in our wake.

People with rockets would absolutely go down to that planet without a second thought.

I would be shocked if this isn’t a spam bot.

Also tab to autocomplete.

The command line looks like a lot of typing, but with ctrl+r and tab I barely type anything.

I do nightly borg backups of much more than 200gb. The idea of incremental backups is you’re only doing the changes, and photos don’t tend to change.

What challenge did you come across with a 200GB backup?

Looks like it’s one of those sites that let you easily host an instance of various sites, one of which includes Lemmy.

I’m not sure who will be affected but if it’s anyone, probably mostly single user instances.

• Is it like anything else I might be familiar with to help me understand better? (Note: almost 70 so may need old references.)

Reddit was mentioned, but that explains the format of this site, that people post stuff and people can upvote stuff they like to make it more visible to others.

But I haven’t (so far) seen anyone mention something similar to answer the question as to why there are so many different sites here. People from lemmy.world, lemmy.ca, lemmy.nz, and others are all participating here, all on their own sites but all somehow connected.

The old (and still well used) equivalent here is email. Email is a federated service, it’s not hosted by one company, anyone can operate an email server and in fact it’s very common. Emails look perhaps like dave@gmail.com or dave@company.com or dave@something.com. the part after the @ tells your email provider how to reach the server of the person you are emailing. You’ll notice user names can look similar to an email address, but have an @ at the beginning to identify them as separate from email addresses.

But yes, as others have mentioned, lemmy.world is the largest lemmy website, run by some people called the Fedihosting Foundation. Anyone can sign up there, and anyone can create a community there. It seems very unlikely there is an official relationship between Lemmy.world and Perchance.

Haha it’s so long there’s a suggestion it needs to be broken into multiple pages:

You could use lemmy.world. They allow creating communities and if you follow the instructions your account will be auto-approved instantly.

Another is https://sh.itjust.works/ which is another general audience instance that allows creating communities.

For reference you can get the default lemmy experience at https://l.lemdro.id/

However, Lemmy allows admins to disable the ability to create communities. It looks like they have used this option.

You could always create a community somewhere that does allow it by signing up for a new account there, then appoint your original account as moderator. You should be able to continue from there as if it was on your own instance.

Brand recognition is important. I have heard for many ads they don’t care if you pay attention so long as you hear/see it briefly, because you will be more likely to pick their product later when it’s the name you recognise even (especially) if you don’t remember why you know it.

Well according to the OP, it’s a list they offer for free and it’s integrated with many browsers including Firefox…

If I’m on my local network hosting my locally hosted services, I do.

When you use spread sheets a lot, much of what makes you productive is that you know exactly what Excel will do. Like yes I know it’s going to try to increment when actually I want to fill this column with 1s or whatever, but I can hold ctrl and override it and all is good.

With copilot, you will never be sure what it’s going to do. I feel like it would slow me down even if it guessed right 90% of the time.

I really wanted to like Bazzite but after a couple of months I couldn’t handle it. I really need the tinkering 😆.

I’m considering it for the kids though once we get a family PC, but I also really want things like being able to switch between Gnome and KDE and other stuff like that which makes the experience nicer.

Can confirm, I’ve recently got some cameras and set up Frigate and it’s been great. Not using Reolink but the ones I have work well enough. I have a TPLink that I like, and a Hilook starlight camera that I am not convinced on as it doesn’t seem to have auto-exposure adjustment. Both work well for object detection, though there’s a bit of a learning curve with frigate needing to be configured via YAML for a lot of things.

I’ve also started playing with Frigate’s face detection but I don’t think the cameras are really positioned for it. It probably makes more sense for a front door camera getting a good view of the person.

I’ve also got Home Assistant picking up the frigate camera streams which works well too.

Yup, seems the issue for this is still open.

I have local storage for my photos, then backup to object storage using Borgmatic and Rclone to B2. But you’re right, you can’t directly use object storage with Immich.

Local storage on a VPS is expensive, and I’ve never been happy with a lower powered server serving media. Personally I self-host and send a backup to Backblaze B2 for offsite (using Rclone).

I use Borgmatic for incremental, deduplicated backups but make sure you save your encryption key somewhere you can access it if your house burns down.
