I don’t use it on Android because I don’t need sync, I need backups.

Photo backups are handled by Immich, and a general backup is done by the FolderSync app on a daily schedule over WebDAV to my server.

Proxmox is good as a host OS, you’ll set up a VM for docker and run your stuff in that.

It has a built in backup system to image your VMs and Containers, you can combine it with Proxmox Backup Server either in a VM or on another system for incremental backups and deduplication.

As far as Nextcloud goes I’m not surprised you had issues, their setup is weird, non-standard and very unstable in my experience. I switched to Syncthing long ago and it’s so much better.

Sometimes you need a VM. They’re not overkill, just useful for different things.

Examples; Running Windows, Running OSX, Passing through hardware to use isolated from the host (PCIe devices, USB, etc), Linux guests where you need a full kernel and permissions (for example to run Docker without issues caused by being nested inside a container).

VMs don’t really have much more overhead than a container in most use cases too. For example a VM with debian installed uses about 30MB of RAM.

I would love to know too, it seems like every month for at least a year now I read that “the new Firefox release blocks third party cookies”

I just wish it had normal top bar tabs (or maybe it does and I haven’t found the option), because I love the overall style, but vertical tabs take up too much space after widening the side bar enough to see the tab names easily.

Who’s going to develop security and feature updates for it? The Librewolf devs certainly won’t have the man power.

It’s just a patch on top of Firefox.

More options is good.

Yes, don’t want my domain to be removed/suspended.

The info is hidden from the public since every registrar should include domain privacy for free.

Can also use something like Njalla where they register and hold the domain for you and give you access to it.

I’ve never been able to get this one to work, it will say it can’t detect speech even though I can hear it being played.

There really isn’t one that’s a true alternative to WP.

There are plenty of nice static site generators, but those are significantly harder to use and not just drag and drop, they also don’t have the huge plugin marketplace that WP does.

Everyone loves to complain about WP (rightfully so in some cases, it has its own problems), but will suggest alternatives that are nothing like it.

It’s so much worse than WP though.

Every Logitech mouse I’ve owned in the past 20 years has had switches fail and start double clicking. Usually it’s the middle mouse button since it uses a cheap tactile switch instead of the larger more robust micro switches.

I buy a bunch of switches off Digikey and solder in a replacement when it happens (like once a year for each mouse), but it’s a hassle.

Migrate PWs to bitwarden first.

Then you can use Firefox Sync if you want to sync data between the browsers.

Or just do a one-time bookmarks export and import if you don’t want to use sync.

Immich has been great, I’ve been running it for something like 1.5 years now I think.

I love that they clearly say that. IMO they should keep that notice around even later on.

Far too many people spin up some solution for photos or files, either selfhosted or some paid service, and use it as their only storage. Then they’re surprised when data loss happens.

Doesn’t the play store have their “Play Protect” thing they’re always shoving in my face? Why didn’t that pick this up before 11 million people installed the app?

Really every AV software is spyware for whatever country it operates in. Just depends on who you’d rather have your data.

A does have a marker to indicate ‘this way up’ if you look at the end of the connectors the piece of plastic lets you know which way to insert it.

A is simple; you can hand solder a connector, and get basic 5V power out of a port with no circuitry at all, so it’s nice for DIY things and tinkering.
