Shimitar, 2 days ago to selfhosted in Is RAID1 over USB Reliable?

Been running raid1 on USB for over a decade. Avoid chaeap USB stuff, get foot brand USB boxes and preferably a JBOD multi-disk enclosure, since they tend to be the best quality.

Never had a disconnect.

Beware to properly label your driver tough, as Linux software raid (I use that) tend to hiccup on boot if the kernel reassign USB devices after a reboot.

Many people suggest immich or photoptism, but those are not the correct tools for this use case. Piwigo us great, but in my esperience slow and clunky. Lychee is great tough and probably the correct answer to op.

Check this wiki, specially the torrebt and Usenet pages… Then you can wither follow the practical installation pages or ignore and find some docker only guides.

Agreed those are good reasons, but I really hope those bikes do not get common.

What’s even the point of road e-bikes? They are supposed to be sport devices, where the whole point is to train and exercise.

I am an avid road biker, crunch hundreds of kms per months/week on roads with my road bike and really there is no point in this kind of e-bikes.

I am talking of sport bikes, not leisure or going-to-work type of bikes.

Instead, MTBs make much more sense as e-MTBs due to the kind of terrains they go trough.

Shimitar, 18 days ago to technology in what lemmy web app do you use and why?

Summit. Neat, simple and clear. Updated very often and I simply love it.

Shimitar, 23 days ago (edited 19 days ago) to linux in Switching from win 11

Is this on your personal work PC or company wide?

Be careful not to burn the Linux bridge by being not able to support the transition now… :)

Edit: what I mean is, if you are responsible for this transition, now study study study… Be very careful and test each setup on a “test” machine before going to deploy for others…

Shimitar, 26 days ago to selfhosted in Would this flow work with Immich & Syncthing to copy images and auto upload and delete?

Piwigo then, but its old, feels old, its slow and ugly.

Shimitar, 28 days ago to selfhosted in Would this flow work with Immich & Syncthing to copy images and auto upload and delete?

There are many.

Personally I use both PiGallery2 (great folder view, super fast) and HomeGallery (innovative browsing approach, modern looks).

They will both work with your existent file/folder structure and will update as you add or remove photos.

There are better options for viewing… Imho

Shimitar, 28 days ago to selfhosted in Would this flow work with Immich & Syncthing to copy images and auto upload and delete?

Why such a mess? Either use immich with its upload or use syncthing (I use the latter).

Immich sucks in providing folder based albums, but excells in phone photo backup and sync!

Shimitar, 29 days ago to android in [General question to the Android community] Have you given up on the audio jack, or do you still only buy devices that have it?

I agree, you are perfectly right.

Better pollute the data and make it less economically meaningful?

Sorry, I am not degoogled and I even have maps with history enabled!

Shimitar, 1 month ago to android in [General question to the Android community] Have you given up on the audio jack, or do you still only buy devices that have it?

That would be in the few meters range BT works…

And maybe the attacker needs to know already that you are you for that to work…

Of course if you use apple or google or Samsung stuff, in general if your stuff is already tracked to you…

I drive mostly around, they can already track me with my car license plate. BT doesn’t give out anything of added value.

So no, I do not really understand the issue, but this doesn’t mean I don’t respect your choice.

Do you want to elaborate on the privacy point?

I personally don’t care if somebody snoops on the music I hear…

Shimitar, 1 month ago to android in [General question to the Android community] Have you given up on the audio jack, or do you still only buy devices that have it?

I run also, and trust me try wireless, such a better experience without the entangling cables. Specially for sport.
