That surprised me a bit when I first used Mastodon. “Wait? Why can’t I log in? I just want to follow this person! Oh, right, have to go to my original server and do it from there”. New to Lemmy, but finding and following other communities feels much easier than on Mastodon.

I just recently finished setting Immich with weekly encrypted backup to cloud storage. Really pleased with how it works, as it pretty much feels like an exact Google Fotos foss alternative. Only gribe is image search, but I’m sure its just me not using it correctly.

If I want to search for say location or filename, I have to insert “m:” first. Wiki and the app says its for searching metadata instead of smart search, but anything else just leaves me with a server error. I’m certain its just something I have misconfigured, but still a little annoying that it wouldn’t at least fall back to metadata search.

But can highly recommend taking a look at the whole collection of wallpapers the site collects: https://gruvbox-wallpapers.pages.dev/

frequently rotates between a lot of them 😁

Looked into selling my old gaming laptop just recently, and it just doesn’t seem like its worth selling them, if they are any older than 5 years, and not top spec. Making a server/node/test machine, might be the best option. Still not comfortable with the laptop battery as ups thing.

Regarding photo storage, Immich is pretty close to a perfect clone/replacement for Google Fotos in my opinion.

Ang. Donation, har jeg selv doneret til andre projekter via Liberapay, dog husker jeg opsætningen som lidt klodset. Hvis det på nuværende tidspunkt ikke har brug for nogen større finansiering, så kan du bare lave et hurtigt PayPal donate link til dem der har lyst 😊

They bill hourly, but what does that exactly entail? Can I risk ending up with a huge bill at the end of the month, or would I be contained to what I pay for/signed up for?

Oh. Hadn’t thought about docker on arm not supporting x86 containers! Thanks for the heads up! Yea, I’ll look into the CX packages instead, as well as Netcup
