It’s fine if you use the AIO or do some specific things on baremetal like Postgres and Redis. I’ve used in virtually every format over the last dozen years, and you eventually learn what works.

Bitching about nextcloud seems to be some people’s hobby around here.

Ouch, that hurds.

Any idea if it will render Mermaid diagrams correctly?

Someone called this the love-in that happens in an abusive marriage after the beatings. “Oh, baby, I do this because I love you so much. You and I are just meant to be together.”

They don’t obfuscate the filesystem, it’s right there in clear folder trees under each username in the chosen data folder with all the filenames you see in the UI, you can do whatever you want with it.

I hear this bullshit constantly and I go back to check just to make sure I’m not fooling myself and there it is. Where do people get this from, do you not know how to navigate a filesystem?

Owncloud is an enshittified mess. There are very good reasons that Nextcloud hardforked and ran. Stay far away.

What a pointless article.

I’d have to look at Frigate again, but I’ve used BI for a few years now for myself and neighbors that I’ve installed livestock monitoring cameras for. The phone app is quite good, it does very reliable recognition via Deepstack, it’s compatible with so many cameras it isn’t funny, and the automations are very extensive. Setting up schedules is pretty intuitive.

The geofencing is terrible, but that’s about my biggest complaint with it, besides having to install it on a Windows VM. I did have it working in Wine years ago, but it wasn’t very stable.

requires UniFi Protect to enable the setting.

Always some sort of cloud based dicking around with Ubiquiti stuff. I’m so over them.

Make sure any cameras you get are ONVIF compatible. That’ll give you the widest usability.

And while it’s great to be self-hosted, I’ve never found anything as good as BlueIris for camera software, even if it does cost $50/yr. I run it in a Dockurr/windows container, there’s a few projects out there that make Dockur easier to set up.

Like, with a towel?

“too”?

Jesus, you’re trying hard to be a dick, huh. Try harder.

I have to start to learn how to automatically create notes. I’m starting to forget how my systems work together, too. Fortunately when I research something I do it the same way every time so I come up with the same result, then go to implement it and find all the scripts etc that I forgot about that do that job.

I hate the “Microsoft Recall” idea, but damn, I need something like that with an AI to keep it indexed and searchable as it relates to my activities. All self-hosted, of course.

Fedora KDE.

I’m sick and tired about hearing about Zorinn when there’s a dozen excellent Linux distros that aren’t derivative trash that astroturf social media and pass off other Foss projects as their own.

Ducks.

I don’t see this phenomenon. Maybe people suggest those things to use because frankly, they’re a very fundamental part of the self-hosting landscape, and you’re see it as “you must use these”. Use whatever the hell you want and pay the price for doing it the hard way, by all means. But saying people are gatekeeping isn’t the way I see this community.
