Bluesky is a lot easier to use vs fediverse stuff, discovering stuff is also easier in my experience vs mastodon.

Why so angry?

This lets you share photos without directly exposing Immich to the internet.

I don’t see the point in getting so worked up over someones project they made and decided to share, it’s not like you’re being forced to use it.

Sounds like you need to set up the Jellyfin server as a windows service so it starts without logging in. I’m surprised it doesn’t do this automatically as part of the installer setup.

Alternatively you can just set up auto-login for your windows user account, but that gives you no security from local access.

Essentially you need a load balancer hosted somewhere that the traffic hits before getting routed to one of the 2 servers. That could be a VPS running Traefik if you prefer that.

Alternatively you could both run something like IPFS and run the static site on that, but anyone accessing the site would either need IPFS installed, or use a gateway hosted somewhere (Cloudflare has a public for example).

It’s kind of depressing how fragmented the Matrix ecosystem is, a bunch of clients but none seem to support everything together, servers that are slow and bloated, and don’t support super basic maintenance tasks like cleaning up old stuff, etc…

There isn’t a true replacement for Wordpress because of the sheer availability of plugins it has.

But for simple sites like blogs and personal sites Grav CMS is one I’ve used, and it gives you a web admin panel similar to Wordpress, so the learning curve isn’t too bad.

Drupal also gets mentioned a lot as a replacement.

There are also static site generators like Hugo, but those require learning a lot about the specific one you use, and are pretty complex to use, and if you need non-static content like a web form or something it can add a lot of complexity to your whole setup.

Gotcha, in that case maybe a container? You can use a bind mount to link a folder on the host to inside the container. You could use docker/podman or LXC.

It can be anything you want.

How you change it depends on the specific server you’re using, I use SFTPGo for a webdav server and when I create a new user it just asks where the data should go.

Does rclone support the cloud service?

Software RAID is generally better in every way, also no hardware to fail.

Keep multiple reliable (and tested) backups, if something fails restore a backup.

Don’t rely on any storage, RAID or anything else to be recoverable when something goes wrong.

Backrest is also great, just a nice webUI for Restic.

It’s wild just how slow most thumb drives benchmark even with recent models, the Samsung Bar at 36MB/s is just ridiculous, that’s 30 minutes of waiting to fill it up entirely!

A basic V30 microSD card is at least that fast!

Yes I’m waiting until it’s ready for the average user before I recommend it to anyone.

If you want that style of UI use Zen browser, it’s based on Firefox and doesn’t require an account to use it.

Arc is just another crappy browser based on Chrome. The account requirement was and is a huge red flag.

The healthiest is to enable the option to only charge to 80% (or near there, depending on the phone you have).

Otherwise slower charging is better, if the wireless charging doesn’t make the phone hotter than say 30C or so I wouldn’t worry about using it. 45C is the limit for charging Li-ion safely, but it’s better to be cooler.

FolderSync is a good alternative, more battery friendly too!

Yes there’s always a chance corruption can happen from a hard power off, always keep reliable backups.

Current 18650/21700 Li-ion cells are a lot safer than they were 10+ years ago, less chance of thermal runaway and fires now.

Cell quality is important. You want to be using known good quality cells like those from Panasonic, Samsung, LG, etc…

How you manage temperature, charge and discharge is also really important, dendrite growth can cause cell failure in time. Charge temperature is extremely important. So you want to make sure you’re using a smart programmable BMS where you can set up all the protections properly. Ideally one with as many temperature probes as you can find, 4 is good, 8 is better and some will have that many.

Otherwise making sure nothing can short out internally is important too, but it sounds like you’re putting some thought into that. Most critical IMO from what I’ve seen on pre-made battery packs is making sure your series banks are well insulated from each other and have no chance of vibration causing the cells to wear through their heatshrink and touch each other.
