Immich is just fantastic. Probably one of the best software in the self-hosting world. I had no problems with breaking changes in the last ~1,5 years I’m using it.

Yup, I’m pretty sure that must be the case.

I don’t want subscriptions, nor an algorithm. I want results for my search phrase. This technology exists for decades at this point. It should just work.

I hate PornHub search so much. I’m sure it used to work at some point in the past but now it’s completely useless. The only way to find something interesting for me is to scroll through garbage, click at anything even remotely promising, scroll through similar videos, click at anything even remotely promising, scroll through similar videos… Eventually I will usually find what I’m looking for - it is there but it’s fucking unsearchable for whatever reason. And mind you, I’m not into very niche stuff at all.

Good thing I have a girlfriend now and I barely ever touch porn anymore.

I second this. Great software!

You can have a separate KeePass DB just for your TOTPs.

I would say if you need to ask this, you might not be ready to expose your home sever to the internet. Please be VERY careful about this.

With that being said, setting up reverse proxy (nginx) on the VPS should not affect the reverse proxy on your home server in any way.

In the proposed setup, the VPS will be directly exposed to the internet - it’s the “gateway” to your network. If someone gains access to the VPS, they have access to your home server and probably other devices in your network. So yes, you need to secure the VPS as much as you can. Fail2ban or Crowdsec are a good idea. Setting them up on the home server wouldn’t really do anything against an attacker with access to the VPS.

I think someone just redacted your DE.

I have never tried Swisscows but I just want to say that Kagi is fantastic. Absolutely the best search experience I had in years.

You might want to check out fatrace. It can tell you exactly which processes access the given filesystem.

Wait, why is this downvoted?

Exposing services to the internet is one thing. The other thing is that without really solid backup strategy you can just lose your files. Both concerns grow even bigger if you’re dealing with not just your own data but also your family’s or friends’. It’s a real responsibility.

I think it would be great if more people got into self-hosting but you really need to learn some stuff before jumping in. A single mistake can cost you a lot.

Most ebooks I bought recently come with a warning that the buyer’s data is embedded in the file to deter from sharing it online. TBF it cannot be hard to remove it but I didn’t bother to check how it’s implemented.

As a dev, I can feel how much easier to work with the codebase must be after migrating from scattered raw SQL queries to ORM. In my job I have a project with a similar problem and the transition is slowly going on for years at this point, still not close to being finished.

I think Linkwarden is fantastic but should be described and advertised more as internet archiving software than a bookmark manager. It really should be obvious to anyone that it’s downloading the webpages, not just saving links. I

I second this. Very light, feature-rich, configurable and works flawlessly. I use it for ad blocking, proxying all DNS requests to DoT upstreams, and local addresses in LAN and over Wireguard.

Chrome is just faster than Firefox. I use Firefox, but I do it despite its performance, not because of it.

I’m pretty this applies to tram and bus drivers literally everywhere.

Exactly the same for me. I was worried people will not get it but it has never been a problem for almost 2 years now.

Yes! I actually couldn’t resist reading it again when posting it.
