I’ve spent many nights roaming in an EVE online pirate gang shooting the shit on mumble. Can recommend.

Authoritarianism

Ahhhhh ok so a western politician insulted dear leader so of course y’all are spun up about it while the rest of us don’t even remember that it happened

„Dronie”? Is that supposed to be some kind of retort to „tankie”? Bless your lil’ heart

Ah, right. So as a shorthand for „way too batshit fucking crazy to have that much power”

The issue is the authoritarianism, not the economic system

Honestly I don’t even care about justice anymore I just want the bleeding to stop so we can start healing

Objectively not true for spacex. I wish like hell it was owned by someone else.

Make your own dockerfile, and the first line will be FROM <upstream>. Then make your changes.

Eh, RPI pushes you to use a microSD card which sucks in a few ways. They also aren’t all that cheap.

Used thin client is the way to go

Yeah, syncthing can do all of that except public share links. Run an instance on your NAS so there is always a sync target online.

I strongly recommend ZFS as a filesystem for this as it can handle your sync, backup, and quota needs very well. It also has data integrity guarantees that should frankly be table stakes in this application. Truenas is an easy way to accomplish this, and it can run docker containers and VMs if you like.

Tailscale is a great way to connect them all, and connect to your nas when you aren’t home. You can share devices between tailnets, so you don’t all have to be on the same Tailscale account.

I’ll caution against nextcloud, it has a zillion features but in my experience it isn’t actually that good at syncing files. It’s complicated to set up, complicated to maintain, and there are frequent bugs. Consider just using SMB file sharing (built into truenas), or an application that only syncs files without trying to be an entire office suite as well.

For your drive layouts, I’d go with big drives in a mirror. This keeps your power and physical space requirements low. If you want, ZFS can also transparently put metadata and small files on SSDs for better latency and less drive thrashing. (These should also be mirrored.) Do not add an L2ARC drive, it is rarely helpful.

The boxes are kinda up to you. Avoid USB enclosures if at all possible. Truenas can be installed on most prebuilt NAS boxes other than synology, presuming it meets the requirements. You can also build your own. Hot swap is nice, and a must-have if you need normies to work on it. Label the drive serial number on the outside so you can tell them apart. Don’t go for less than 4 bays, and more is better even if you don’t need them yet. You want as much RAM as feasibly possible; ZFS uses it for caching, and it gives you room to run containers and VMs.

It’s worth taking the effort to learn if you want to self host stuff. The neat part is once you learn it, you can self host basically anything. Think of a container like a little packaged application that can only interact with the outside world through pathways you give it, either through volume mounts (files) or port mappings (network).

Immich is one of the more complicated and intimidating docker-compose files out there. Try something like glance or miniflux to get a gentler introduction.

Dudebro, I write software and run servers for a living. Admittedly I don’t work with python, but I have developed web applications that run both on bare metal and in docker containers and I’m telling you that the amount of fuckery required to spin up anything on bare metal will 99% of the time be more than what’s needed to spin up the same application in a container. The end result will be more brittle and more likely to conflict with other software on the same machine.

Also, sure it’s not hard to install HASS in a pyenv now, because the dev team specifically ensured it. Maybe that requires tradeoffs that they don’t want to make anymore?

Seriously quit being a dick to people in niche software communities, it’s pathetic

No it’s not and yes I do you goober. How are dependencies handled in each scenario?

From a fuckery standpoint? Docker is way easier, and it works the same way for everything.

Docker is so much easier to fuck with than python

NAS at the parents’ house. Restic nightly job, with some plumbing scripts to automate it sensibly.

Have you considered karakeep (formerly hoarder)? It does all of this really well - drop it a URL and it saves a copy. Has lists & tagging (can be done by AI if you want), IOS & android apps as well as browser extensions that make saving stuff super easy.
