Nice thanks for sharing. I'm thinking of doing something similar but to Hetzner (it's dit cheap)

Would just need to figure out encryption

It's a "Democracy" where you can only choose one of two parties.

Both of which suck. One clearly more than the other, but your only two options are terrible.

I've been using Only Office, it's great. I see no need to use MS Office

The two party system is cooked.

Nothing will get better till the two party system is a thing of the past.

Do you have backups in place if your house burns down?

That's the problem I'm looking to solve for myself right now.

For Photos the lazy route is to just pay Hetzner 5$ a month for 1TB storage and Nextcloud
https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/
(I tried this for a month and loved it, decided to then host myself)

The not lazy route is to host Nextcloud yourself, but because it's important thigns like your family photos, you need to be sure your backups are solid.

I bought myself a Hardkernel H4+ and will be setting it up as a NAS with Nextcloud

What is that?

If it's a Lemmy community, then most likely yes.

It might be a good idea to get a power monitoring plug to get some data into what would save the most power while still keeping temps where you want it

Thanks I'll see if I can get the thumbnails on the SSD for more snappyness.

Advice needed on Nextcloud + Immich Setup (with a SSD and HDD's) (piefed.social)
 

I've currently got Nextcloud AIO hosted in Proxmos on a NUC to play around with what works and what doesn't and get a feel for self hosting, and I'm loving it.

Space on the NUC is an issue, 512GB just won't cut it if I move my whole family over.

So I've ordered a ODROID H4+ and will be setting it up as a NAS with 2x 6TB HDD's in a ZFS mirror (it arrives next week) and then I'll move everything over to it.

Is it possible for me to use the 1TB SSD to save all data excluding Media (Photo's and Videos) and use the HDD's for the rest as they take up lots of space.

I'd also like to then use Immich to scan the Media on the HDD's to use it as a viewer (And sync phone media etc. through nextcloud because I find it to be more stable, and then everything will still work even if Immich is down)

What are your thoughts? Is this a good idea? Is it over complicated? How would you set it up?

Lemmy vs PieFed (piefed.social)

I've been on Lemmy for ~3 Months and it's nice but picking a instance, figuring out which web UI works for me, figuring out which Mobile App works for met etc. was a lot, and most people would have given up.

I've been using PieFed for the last few days, and wow I like it so much more, it solved so many of the UX issues that Lemmy has.

These features make a BIG impact, most of the common things people on Reddit complain about when you promote Lemmy isn't a issue on PieFed.

My favourite feature is de-duplication, on PieFed if I view eg. this post https://piefed.social/post/749818#comment_6102866

It combines/aggregates it with cross-posts/reposts de-duplication example image
So I can see it in one place, and see all the comments in one place.

Have you tried out PieFed? What are your thoughts?
