It’s funny, I’ve heard this so many times. And read through the docs. But I’m a mad lad who has auto updates (I know!) and have never had an issue with Immich.

All great recommendations here. But I’ve heard good things about PdfDing. I haven’t used it myself but have followed development since the developer is quite active.
Not what you’re asking about, but this guy was very inspirational for me wrt making latex diagrams easily.
Yeah I was just about to point that out for ya.
7·6 months agoYeah, I’m pretty sure a huge proportion of Lemmy users on the self hosting community run Linux, kind of a swing and a miss advertisement in these parts.
Paperless ngx has been a game changer for me. I only wish I had a better scanner, or more specifically, a sheet feed scanner which would make scanning stacks of papers way easier.
I’d say give it a shot. All your PDFs are stored nicely in one directory (PDFs are sorted in app by tags) so it’s easy to migrate if you need.
I’m sure syncthing works great for you but another option is Self Hosted Live Sync. It works for me as an iOS user who can’t use syncthing on my phone. It requires a server but given this b community it shouldn’t be a surprise.
I don’t know if I would recommend a comprehensive guide at all tbh. It’s like recommending a comprehensive guide to gardening or reading or something. Just start small with realistic goals and find some good YouTube videos that pique your interest.
I started with unraid (strictly due to the expandability of the array, and I’m still glad I did that) and found SpaceInvader One’s videos to be super helpful, and he continues to put out new videos with new ways of harnessing unraid’s power. After a while I got the hang of it and now I feel comfortable reading the docs of a service and installing it myself and integrating it into my stack. Following communities like these on Lemmy, as well as perusing the Community App Store in unraid is more than enough to expose me to interesting software I want to try out.
I say sit back and enjoy the process. We have a tendency to put pressure on ourselves to do things perfectly and immediately. But tend not to enjoy the learning process. Thinking back five years ago it’s amazing how far my server has come, let alone my ability to control it. Enjoy it!
I agree with a lot of LR’s opinions, especially around right to repair, but he has always been extremely long winded, and guilty of repeating himself a lot in his videos. Not to mention opinionated.
While it’s cool that some people are excited for this and will no doubt learn a ton from this, there is no way I would recommend this to anyone.
RAID is a great backup alternative.

Prologue is an iOS app that can play audiobooks from a Plex library. I didn’t know they were working on ABS compatibility but that would be great. As much as I love ABS, Prologue is far more polished.
Well what’s nice is that any device on your Tailscale network has a WireGuard connection between any other device on that network. You can also use exit nodes. While all of that can be achieved with WireGuard, the complexity of that can grow quite large as you add more nodes.

123·1 year agoI tried so hard to get into Bookwyrm and joined several instances but it really holds no candle to Goodreads in terms of number of users. A single book that is not even that popular will often have hundreds or thousands of reviews on Goodreads. Like this book:

vs
https://bookwyrm.social/book/629446/s/mathematics-for-human-flourishing
I think that a lot of book nerds have been using Goodreads for years and are unaware and not looking for of fedi alternatives.
Yet here you are on a research project.
I mean, that’s the cool thing about federation. Some instances could adopt this and some could reject it.
I suppose you could buy a paper copy of the book and give it to a friend or donate it somewhere.
Almost all routers can handle gigabit, which is almost certainly what you want if you plan on doing local networking. A typical hard drive has speeds of about a gigabit. There is no reason to get anything slower. You can also get some gigabit switches (or even faster if you are using nvme on both machines) and connect two machines that need fast speeds between them to it. Most switches will be able to send packets to each other without going through the router.
If you really want to do some learning you could try to set up an opnsense box on an old PC and connect that to a switch. It’s feature rich and completely modular and upgradable. This is probably the best thing you could do if you want to learn something but also the worst thing to do if you want consistent uptime since you can pretty easily break stuff if you don’t read the docs.
That said, as others have mentioned openwrt on a used router is probably the best of both worlds - feature rich but less breakable.
