Every night my NAS wakes up, fetches the data from my unraid server, backs it up and also sends an encrypted backup to a hetzner storage box on a server in a different country. Haven’t had to use it yet, but in theory works fine. Should do some more regular testing though…

Man, I just set up navidrome and it instantly seems so much better and easier to maintain. Thank you so much for your input :)

I recently switched my phone from Android to GrapheneOS and now rely even more on my selfhosted services. Immich is such a great project. Still gotta figure out my music collection though, since switching from YT Music to Jellyfin. Most of it is sorted by date of purchase, because that worked best with my DJ workflow. Now I gotta bring it over to a folder structure that works for jellyfin. It seems like the answer is musicbrainz Picard, but I gotta figure out how to configure it.

Also been thinking about some AI ideas I’d like to try, but I have zero intention getting involved with openai, meta, google or whoever the fuck. So self hosting it is. But on what hardware? Option 1 seems to be to get some professional server board, CPU, ram and start with one RTX3090 and go from there with the option to hook up more GPUs. But a setup like that sounds like it would cost some serious money in electricity. Option 2 seems to be a Rzyen AI Max+ 395, configured with a fuckton of ram, available to the whole apu and as suchs usable for memory hungry models. This seems to be much much more power efficient. But its all integrated and I couldn’t swap out components or upgrade in the future. Leaning towara option 2 atm, but maybe I’ll just wait a bit longer and see what else comes up in the coming months.

Same boat for me, works great! I got the NFC Yubikeys which work fine with Android.

Haha nope, they will of course blame Mexico and Canada in that case. Or the people who prefer to go there. I think they are completely immune to any thought about the consequences of their own actions.

It was a thing in Germany as well :)

Not OP and couldn’t see myself moving towards Libertarianism, but I can kinda see where OP is coming from. Germany does have a huge amount of regulations for almost everything. A lot of projects take far too long because there are so so many rules and laws to be considered. People working in administration got so used to that, that they tend to avoid responsibilities and hide behind rules and regulations (saying this as someone working in administration, trying to establish better digital processes, which tends to be quite frustrating). On an individual level, everything (except the Autobahn without its speed limit) is always made, so even the biggest idiot can’t hurt himself. Sometimes that ruins the fun for everyone else…
