  • I do, and have printed instructions in a “When I die” sealed envelope.

    But I think this is more of a people problem than a technical one. 99% of the pictures in my immich instance are of no interest to anyone else, along with most other things I back up. Some websites I’ve made I’d like to continue so have their source in github and on free hosting, but eventually the domains will expire and they’ll go away.

    What you can’t provide is selecting what’s important enough to the family and what they want shared, which is the hardest part. And in some cases, that’s what people post on socials. How you want to be remembered is often just your facebook feed.




  • OS update fuss level is hugely dependant on distro though.

    EL and rebuilds? Full new machine and copy services over (or if paying RHEL, use their migrator which can have mixed results). Agree, huge fuss.

    Debian/ubuntu? Dist-upgrade, normally safe and much quicker.

    Plus a bunch of rolling release distros that just keep up to date (but will occasionally add breaking changes that you might not be ready for)

    Can’t so easily get around hardware issues, so build cattle that can be easily redeployed or scaled. Doesn’t fit all situations though.














  • Sure, alone doesn’t == loneliness for some people. Life the life that you want to live, there’s nobody keeping score, everyone’s too busy living their own lives to care much about what you do or don’t do, within reasonable societal norms - just idle judging as you’re doing about them.

    This isn’t some new thing btw, I’m 55 and only had two people I would consider good friends. I married one, and the other died in his 40s. People come into our lives and leave, but I doubt I’ll make more real friends. I’m fine with that, partly because of the reasons you mention.
