  • I fully agree with this comment. Aurora (or Fedora Kinoite, very similar) is the first Linux I have been able to use full time. It should feel familiar and like a breath of fresh air to a longtime windows user. Immutability allows me to tinker without feeling overwhelmed.

    Haven't tried Bazzite but my understanding is that it works just fine as a deskop OS too!

  • But there are dozens of people in this very thread who if I am understanding correctly are willing to offer the same service for free to prove their point that Plex is evil.

  • If these catch on (unlikely imo) it's only a matter of time before I have an awkward interaction with someone when they come into my house wearing them...

  • Sorry to have annoyed you.

  • idk I find $2/month to be very reasonable. I don't feel squeezed.

    EDIT: Just to be clear there is no amount of condescending replies form trilby wearing neckbeard keyboard warriors that will change my opinion.

  • Immich mobile app sync V2

  • Wow, 7tb for $21/month. That's much better than I've been seeing.

  • Immich mobile app sync V2

    Jump

  • Problem with that is there is no backup in case of flood/fire/tornado etc.

  • Yeah it sucks because Microsoft charges $10/mo for 6tb.

  • Anyone know of a good managed hosting (or vps) for Immich that doesn't break the bank? I have about 5TB of photos/videos and I don't feel safe without a remote backup. I played with self hosting and I really (really) like Immich but I keep Google photos/Drive just to ensure I won't lose anything.

  • Adding PieFed/Lemmy to lists of privacy options could raise awareness of its existance

    Jump

  • Or would concentrating my lemmy/piefed use strictly through a self-hosted one person instance account help to ensure nothing but what I’m ‘intentionally doing’ is tracked?

    It would ensure that yes. The other instance would only see the IP of your instance, not browser information or anything else. I haven't tried selfhosting, so I can't speak to it's difficulty, but as far as I know, there is no reason to distrust any of the major Lemmy or Piefed instances. I'm not an expert and it is open source software so anyone could theoretically edit the code if they wanted.

    And privacy refers to having control over who can see your personal information, anonymity means being unidentifiable.

  • Referring to Fediverse services as "Alternatives" is bad marketing

  • This description leaves out 100% of lemmy users unfortunately

  • Looking for a relatively cheap camera system

  • Hm I like that idea. That's a bit out of my wheelhouse but worth looking into. Maybe also have two zones? A larger one to trigger the location update?

  • Users on my instance are not responsible for the behavior of others.

  • Hmm my phone always takes a few minutes to update that I'm home.

  • A power tripping mod is irrelevant to the fact that you knowingly continue to spread disinformation promoting a for profit social media company.

    Do not reply to me ever again or I will report you for harassment.

  • Adding PieFed/Lemmy to lists of privacy options could raise awareness of its existance

    Jump

  • A default installation of Lemmy/Piefed won't track users beyond what they intentionally do on the site. But if you want to be sure, then you can always host your own instance of one person. (In addition to all user activity), other instances can only see the IP of the instance the account is hosted on.

    If you want something to be private then well, don't post to the public web (as a reminder- DMs aren't private on Piefed/Lemmy). If you want to be anonymous, then use a VPN and don't repeat a username you used elsewhere.
