This brand sells all non-smart TVs at non-commecial prices.

I usually create 1 LXC and install docker to it to use it as a template for any other LXC in the future. So, docker on a Debian LXC is how I did it. ProxMox in on bare metal though.

Sweet. Never heard of this before. Thanks. I’ll take it for a spin over the weekend.

Are you hosting in ProxMox too?

I’m calling BS.

Yes, I tried Immich but it’s basically a second job, no thanks. Photoprism is very good, but would need something like Syncthing to auto upload. So I ended up going with Libre Photo. It’s nowhere near as powerful as Immich in terms of features, but for my over 500K photos and almost 50K videos, works like a charm in ProxMox with the “UhuruPhotos” Android app.

Yeah, I think that will end up being the available Streamline.

Great advise. I didn’t think of it that way. Thanks so much, and thanks for providing the link to your blog. It’s always super insightful to be able to gather different points of view.

I agree. But my wife does have a point. From all the feedback, those who want to share can just copy the link and paste it to their platforms, which would be good. The more normies see these in their environment, the higher chance of people starting to care, but I will not add mainstream SNs access directly from my site. Thanks so much guys.

I can’t, nor do I want to, lol. What my wife is pitching is basically “share to” buttons to everywhere.

That’s the idea, and now that I’ve written 2 articles, it’s a bit time consuming. I want to do 2 - and 3 posts per week, and absolutely planning on adding tutorials and suggestions that have worked for me, as well as lists of alternatives to mainstream software and hardware.

The blog is extremely raw in terms of design, and I will be getting a new domain soon to separate it from my personal life as well. I sent you the link via DM.

That’s been my main debate. I didn’t think of that possibility,but it makes sense. Adding those buttons would go completely against what I’m trying to share in my blog.

I’ll start researching FOSS options to add a way to auto post links like you mentioned. Since I haven’t used any of them in years, does anyone know if I would need to create a user in each of them? I’d probably do it with the blog’s name, not personal if it comes to that.

Oh, no, nothing that elaborate. That’s why I came to ask you guys. I can easily set up a “share to social” button that would give the reader the choice to basically post the link to 1 or many social networks. I guess you’re right, they could totally copy the link, and that would force them to not be so lazy, lol.

In all honesty, I believe it falls on each of us to educate as much people as possible in the actual dangers of mass surveillance and what are the potential options to minimize it’s impact.

For example, I’ve been advocating for privacy within my family, friends and other acquaintances for years now. Only recently have I managed to get my wife to start caring (some fearmongering was required) and have gotten a friend from church already on track to eliminating Google, Crapple, mainstream social networks and even self hosting. Some people at work have been reaching out to ask me how they can start moving away from the big tech overreach, and now even my kids have gotten their friends on Simplex, which have made some of their parents move to it as well.

Again, it’s taken me over 7 years to manage this little, but it’s something. If all of us keep doing this, avoiding getting to the point of annoying others (though I’ve annoyed quite a few persons with this, but whatever) more and more people will start moving in that direction.

Just getting some people to change from chrome to brave, which is one of the easiest things to do without making them change their streamlines, or move to Signal from SMS and WhatsApp, is already making headway.

If we get tired and stop preaching security, the surveillance wins. At least that’s how I see it.

I have the 8 Pro, and my wife has the 7 Pro, so I can confirm it works on those. No idea on the latest generation, but it’s likely that it works too.

It does

If you must, the least invasive of the wearables that don’t suck is Garmin. Get a Garmin watch that supports it.

Paying with NFC does lower the risk of getting a card cloned. The payment generates a unique code that’s worth only what you paid.

That’s also true. I only got the 8 Pro after the complaints died down almost a year after launch precisely because of that.

I would get a cheap MinisForum/Beelink mini-pc with an i5 and install Yunohost, or Casaos, or Cosmos or something like that, really easy to install, use and maintain.

To access the PC, just add a Wireguard server to your mini-pc server, set wireguard client on the PC, AND and you’re ready.

I got this one for around US$360 and added a SATA 4TB SSD to it, running all my services out of it and have yet to see it hit 50W.
