Strangely, I deleted them and reuploaded. Now they display fine. Might need to play with this a bit more.

This is a criminally underrated tip. Liquor boxes are seriously sturdy, and the size keeps you from overpacking them.

Also, I started with a pi, added a synology (a NAS is a game changer), and then moved almost all services off the synology to a Beelink S12 pro. Recently upgraded the S12 to 32GB of memory, and I have a 2tb ssd upgrade I have to do soon. All of this is over the past 2-years.

Two sites that really helped me get the basics of docker compose were Marius hosting and Dr Frankenstein’s docker guides. Both are focused more on synology, but the docker stuff works anywhere.

ETA: linuxserver.io is pretty handy, too.

I’ve looked at Hue, but didn’t see any outdoor rated flood lights in their line up. Perhaps I’m just blind.

I have looked at the wi-fi. They’re locked to 2.4 GHz, but I can’t change the channel on the Deco mesh that I have. It scans the network and selects what it thinks is the best. According to my signal scanner, it’s not in the best channel, but it’s not in the worst, either. Plus, the same scanner says the lights should be getting an excellent signal where they are in relation to the AP.

Once I pick one, I’ll probably set up a regular donation. I should also probably drop some $$ towards the other projects since I’ll probably keep an eye on them.

Agreed, iCloud Photos is pretty nice. I almost gave in when they added the AI features and text recognition. Unfortunately, my library started having some stability issues. Was finally, hopefully, able to resolve those yesterday.

Still, one of the nice things about most of the photo hosting apps is they store photo metadata properly - in sidecar files. If they go tits up, and you maintained your metadata you really haven’t lost much. If the Photos DB gets corrupted, you’re going to lose data that would otherwise have been stored in those sidecar files. IMO this is a glaring omission on Apple’s part. I get that having all that info in a database makes larger libraries perform better, but por que no los dos?

Ah, i didn’t see ente’s self hosted version. The instructions look kind of strange. Will need to look into it more.

I’ve looked at ente, but honestly don’t see the point unless I want to stop paying for iCloud storage (which for the time being I don’t).

I’ve seen some examples where Caddy can do some cool stuff (I think the example I saw recently was defining routes that can call an arbitrary program with the HTTP request details).

I guess this is what I was getting at. From what I can tell, at their core, both do pretty much what Swag is already doing for me. Was mainly curious about additional functionality I hadn’t thought of. Most of what I’ve done so far is stuff I hadn’t thought of until I saw it mentioned here, reddit, or in the linuxserver list.

I think I get the argument, and I’m not going to defend fascists, but if a fascist comes to a Star Trek community to discuss Star Trek, cool. If they come there to talk about how awesome fascism is, seeya. If the mods of a community want to ban people for their views that have not been shared in the Star Trek community they run, that’s bs. If the content is on topic, nobody should be getting banned.

Damn! I missed that one. Working now. Thanks!

I think this is pretty troubling. Including myself in the sentiment that the self-hosting community needs to do better. Aside from funding individual projects, are there any organizations that help fund self-hosting projects?

This seems like a good use case for a cluster manager. I’ve used xCAT in the past and recently Lenovo has an interesting project called Confluent that includes a web interface. A paid option would be Bright. These are made to manage hundreds to thousands of nodes.

Title of this post is a bit misleading. You’re suggesting the article spells out how Disney’s, and other companies’, rabid protection of its IP is a Bad Thing, when it’s really more of a history and primer on what’s changed with Steamboat Willie entering PD.

It’s succinct. I’ll give you that!
