I just bought a Sony BRAVIA 8 and it’s close to this. Never connected to WiFi. It goes directly to my HTPC input and I never see the home screen unless I want to.

If you’re on Android, there’s nzb360. The dev is awesome.

I name my devices after greek gods based on what I’m going in life at the time or after what their purpose is.

I named my first gaming PC “Poseidon” when I was doing ship related work. Now it’s my server.

My gaming PC is “Asclepius”, the Greek god of healing. Built when I got into healthcare.

Hermes, god of messeges, is my lil pi that helps with routing (pihole, pivpn, nginx).

My HTPC is Dionysus, Greek god of wine and parties.

My thinkpad is Persephone cus it looks good but doesn’t do much. I might rename it.

The services that I run on these are just named “device-service” e.g. hermes-nginx

Network config confuses the hell out of me.

haha same 🥲

You can use Molly, a fork of Signal for android. It offers an alternative for push notifications.

Seconding Lawnchair. Great FOSS launcher.

On top of all the religious stuff being said, he’s also cheated on every one of his wives (except maybe his current one)

I tried like three times to daily drive linux before it finally stuck.

Haha, it’s PlasmaXDark - https://store.kde.org/p/1367172

I genuinely like the look and feel of Windows.

I retired mine with a 12600K and I’m not sure what to do with it now.

I was for a while. Hosted a LOT of stuff on an i5-4690K overclocked to hell and back. It did its job great until I replaced it.

Now my servers don’t lag anymore.

EDIT: CPU usage was almost always at max. I was just redlining that thing for ~3 years. Cooling was a beefy Noctua air cooler so it stayed at ~60 C. An absolute power house.

Not quite - He’s saying to mount the NAS under /mnt/ and to create a symlink under /home/ to go directly to /mnt/nas/photos

If you’re on KDE Plasma / Dolphin, this can be done here:

and put something like this in there

This will create a folder that goes directly to /mnt/nas/pictures, but you can put it anywhere.

I just set this up and it’s amazing. Thank you for the suggestion!

It’s easy to set up and also keeps a history

GeoIP restricting is a brilliant idea I never thought of. I have been getting a few people trying to sign up on one of my other services and they’re all from Asia somewhere.

I’ll try setting this up.

Yeah, this is too much for my needs. My main goal is to be able to send pictures to people via a link.

Neighbors and family and stuff - less tech savvy folk.

I didn’t know about this! Thanks dude

I’ve already got wireguard set up and that’s how I access it. I would like the ability to share stuff with people though

Immich/PhotoPrism/whatever you use for image backup. Cloud providers are snooping through your shit.

Plex/Jellyfin for streaming

Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, SABnzbd, qBittorrent to support the streaming service(s)
