I have around 5 year of experience self hosting.

There are tons of photo and video alternatives.

One of the first was piwigo, but I don’t know what they are up to now. Photoprism brought a bunch of new interest into the space, but is a bit hindered by their pricing model.

The three frontrunners nowadays are: Immich, Photoprism, and Ente.

Immich: easy and very practical google photos recreation (and surpassing in some ways)

Ente: A self-hosted or externally hosted, easy version. More of an ecosystem with Ente Auth authenticator app like Aegis with cloud sync.

Photoprism: much more geared to photographers, tons of organizational and sorting tools and geared towards using metadata of different cameras and such. Limited for me as they don’t have multi-user support unless you pay 6€/month. I would consider that an essential feature to put in their 2€/month and move advanced geocoding to 6€/month.

Immich on the other hand has a 1 time optional (you really should) $100 fee or $25 per account

They are 3 great options.

Glances at ChatControl

There is a small important distinction.

It is because there is no proprietary e2e encryption by default exclusively while communicating with others on tuta.

E2e encryption for 99.99999% of emails is via passworded pgp that everyone else has and uses or not encrypted at all. I have tuta for years and have yet to send or recieve a single encrypted mail that is the reason that they can’t have a 3rd party app outside of tuta’s own advertisements I get served.

It is vendor lock in. Pure, plain, and simple.

Wouldn’t be as much of a problem if their client wasn’t so bad. No auto moving messages as far as I can tell, absolutely horrid search functionality where I can type the sender email word for word and it will find 0 results, and just having almost no productivity or inbox managing features in general

Kvaesitso is my favorite so far after using KISS for years. Simple, but very polished! I like the clean home screen with favorite bar and searching with a few taps, or scrolling the full app page.

This is the best comment of the thread.

So many people are nitpicking his post or criticizing the platform that he shares it on (let’s me honest, linkedIN has a much wider impact than the fediverse if something “goes corporate viral”). People deserve to be compensated for their work.

We shouldn’t be mad at the devs trying to make a living, even those who have different views about what open source is. We should be banding together against the companies who’s entire business model is based on theft and abuse. New anti-AI licenses specifically, techniques to poison AI data baked into every repo, class action lawsuits against companies, etc…

Once Universal Basic Income gets implemented and you don’t need to be paid directly for your work to survive, then we bicker incessantly about the finer points of the real definition of open source.

He is pretty much openly admitting he has right wing views and it is influencing his social media and project policy.

“Punch Nazis” is literally the only use of the phrase “punch [group]” in modern culture. Redacting specifically Nazi from the statement to make it seem like it is a general statement used, which suggests that is is note broad violent rhetoric, is a very often used dogwhistle by Nazis (and is being used daily by the extreme right wing, at this point satisfying nearly every academic hallmark of fascism, american government).

It is also relevant to note that during the project startup, someone simply suggested a 10 minute search and replace change to use more neutral language and he responded “your personal politics have no place here” even though that is not necessarily political.

Again, the only people that get that offended and snappy with something as benign as using a single different pronoun are the people who support taking basic rights away from human beings. I have never met another type person who cares at all.

The real question is, if a terrible person creates something (potentially) good and let’s their own politics create arguments and stir up drama, but just use the guise of “oh it’s because I want to be apolitical”, is it worth giving money and support to that person. How can you trust someone to always make a “free as in freedom browser” when they literally support (hypothetically) authoritarianism, mass surveillance, and taking rights away in real life? That is the antithesis of the project’s mission.

Also, life is inherently political. There is a group of people literally wanting to kidnap, torture, enslave, kill, and/or remove any rights from another large group of people. Ignoring those problems and welcoming those people with open arms gives them the chance to spread those hateful and violent views, as evidenced by their rapid growth by creating safe spaces for them on the internet.

It is a sad reality, but throughout much of human history, there has been a large groups of people don’t have the luxury to “avoid talking about politics” and “making things political” because they were literally getting enslaved and/or killed by it. And that is happening today still, visibly and publically.

Or Hikvision for very similar cameras at an actually affordable price (but you HAVE to block then from the internet and/or put them on an isolated VLAN because they send everything back home).

Reolink also makes gold budget cameras, especially their doorbell camera.

For some things.

For many things it isn’t. It is usable (I use it) but with a bunch of workarounds for anything embedded development-related since it needs specific vendor software with device access. I have had to use a variety of distrobox + app image solutions that are often a bit worse than a system that installs them as native apps.

Doesn’t PieLauncher already do this?

Yep, me too, but my Sony xperia 5ii has a few issues like no fingerprint reader and a battery that only lasts 3/4 of a day with light use, plus no updates for the past 3 years…

Might have to go fairphone soon

I am a bit ignorant about fedora security, but doesn’t pretty much everyone run Pipewire now and not pulseaudio?

But that is the best part of user software development.

Developing [a game] is pretty much free, so if you make any money out of it at all is just a bonus.

Most physical hobbies cost money where if you make some money from it it likely won’t even start breaking even, you are often 1-10k€ in the hole before you even start selling anything.

They had said on release (a few years ago) that they were selling the base model LCD just a bit above “at-cost” to try to break it into the market and capture share. It worked.

Now that RAM prices have >3x’ed, they would likely be selling that model at a significant loss if they keep manufacturing it. Completely logical move.

Bad for the consumer, but RAM being sucked up by shitty never-accurate, lying plagerism machines with the goal of replacing jobs for extra corporate profit is also bad for the consumer and probably a large part of the cause behind this production stop.

endurain might be able tot be combines with Fitotrack or Opentrack tot get an steava-like experience?

A sort of diablo-style game where you are the bad guy vampire. Very fun, but the damn server doesn’t pause time when it is empty, so I can only spin it up when I plan to play, not have it on all the time like valheim if my friends want to jump in without me and play

Lol what kind of engineering? Because it probably isn’t mechanical, electronics, or civil because most of those programs don’t work in Linux 😂

I have dreams of KiCAD and FreeCAD becoming good enough to be used a lot in industry and kiCAD is nearly there, but missing tons of productivity and collaboration features, but altium is still pretty ubiquitous, spaghetti code garbage that it can be.

My father used opensuse all through the 2000s when they still delivered CDs, so I always saw them laying around. I tried out Linux my first year of university (mint back then) because my mediocre laptop would take an insane time to startup windows 7. Battery life was significantly worse though. Maybe a part because my father used it because of unresolved feelings after he died.

Isn’t fine name in the comment in the first line default behavior for multiple IDE/boilerplate generations?

It’s a bit difficult. I don’t have the money for an entire 2nd server on my network and $500 in HDDs just for a backup solution as part of 3/2/1.

I have 3TB of fault-tolerant-ish data in a ZFS mirror then 12TB in a third, single drive full of stuff that I don’t care a ton if I lost (media and stuff mostly)

Maybe I could back up the more needed data to Hetzner or something for cheaper, but it still adds up.

I am actually debating getting a serial adapter for it. At my work we have an old Norma 3 phase power meter that is an unkillable beast with a very good update rate, and it only has GPIB but as we modernize, it could definitely be used to automate testing.

It was worth, in today’s money, like 100k€ or something crazy.
