You know, I literally just read about this in my textbook, but I’m trying to cram the last of my classwork for finals so I glossed over it.

Thanks for the reminder, time to set up that PIN…

I just went to ebay and goodwill for my tech stuff. Goodwill is a tad annoying though cause their online shop is literally only bids, so have fun watching the price shot up in the last few days.

Or set up a listenbrainz.org account to get weekly recommendation playlist, check the accounts of people who listen to similar artists, and click through those addictive spider web charts that show you a bunch of artists who are similar to the one you’re listening to.

There’s also Rate Your Music, which I don’t have an account at but it still seems pretty good.

Yeah, I got 4 used 2TB hard drives on Amazon back in early 2024 with a $100 gift card and still had a few bucks left over, and now I see that you basically can’t find a single 2TB drive lower than $70…

I wish I started my homelab sooner…

My takeout had everything, even random shit I should’ve deleted forever ago lol. I’d just check for the most important pics (weddings, vacations, etc.) that you would actually be devestated to lose. You can always wait a month or so before deleting to verify your media transferred fine.

Really weird, I’ve never had a takeout download limit or issue; does it fail on both .tgz and .zip versions? Maybe try just outright downloading a few batches of pics at a time and then uploading them to Immich.

Like the other comment said, I did a Google takeout of my photos, then used immich-go to transfer them. Was pretty painless, got it done in a few hours, probs less if I was less dummy.

Here’s the guide I followed.

Yeah, but at least it’ll all be outdated and nothing new is added. And hey, maybe in the future we could get laws that force them to delete anything older than a certain date. Would leaving them there be any better?

Alright, I already transfered the pics to my Immich a month ago anyway, time to delete my shit outright…

I’m asking as a genuine question, where or how should people backup large datastores? Also what counts as too large? I’ve heard Backblaze doesn’t cover NAS so i wouldn’t be able to backup my 2TB zfs RAID, but like is that too much?

I want to do 3-2-1 for my homelab to preserve all pictures in my immich and the backups of my LXCs and VMs, but I’m just not sure how to go about it, and I was considering archives of those files + backblaze…

What I want to do is set up an Arrstack, and I know I need to put Docker and maybe Portainer? I have no experience with Docker though.

I used DockSTARTer and TraSH Guides to set up a docker instance running the arr stack in a Debian VM. I still should take the time to learn more about it though.

I also want to put some basic things I and others can access remotely like a shopping list program, photo backups, period tracker, and DnD software. But I’m very afraid of exposing the server to the internet and it being hacked or such. I know there’s something called Tailscale but I’m not sure if that’s what I need.

As of now, it’s pretty much just me accessing my services, but I did use Netbird (similar to Tailscale) to make a VPN to my home network for my friends to access my minecraft server. My setup is jank though, a shared account for all my friends while I have my own. I definitely need to just use another method to host stuff so no account login sharing is being done.

I picked Tailscale to avoid major provider login (Google) and I plan to selfhost it one day…

The gun fetishists who don’t care about dead kids are the ones who voted for Trump. The ones who give a shit amd don’t want to come within 10 feet of a gun didn’t vote for him.

I’m so tired of the EU people paroting this. It’s ALWAYS been the crazy MAGA who love God and guns. It’s ALWAYS Democrats pushing for regulation.

If a majority of the country voted for him, then how is the minority supposed to overthrow both the gun sickos and the government? Nepal’s riota only succeeded because all of their young population was in agreeance that their government was corrupt. I can’t even get former friends to get off their ass to vote. A riot only works if enough people are backing it.

We would get fucking swiss cheesed in literal seconds by a police department let alone the military. It’d be a suicide mission. And at the end of the day Trump would still be kicking it and making fucking posts about the protesters and MAGAs mixed dead bodies. I hate MAGA conservatives, but I don’t want to kill them because I can understand that at the end of the day the person in power has no fucking skin in the game. We can shoot ourselves bloody all day, but Trump and his croonies will live just fine.

The January capitol riot only ended in little rioter casualties because they were white men and the administration wanted it to happen. This current admin has been insane from day one and would gladly open fire on protesters.

And even if we did kill him, there’s still a chain of succession? We killing the VP and the entire cabinet too? Nevermind the MAGA nuts that would run jnto the streets and start killing any minority or democrat in sight? These sickos threatened to bomb HBCUs after watching Charlie Kirk get shot and he was literally killed by a fellow Republican nutjob. They don’t need a good reason to get angry. Furthermore, who says violent overthrow will guarantee a better government? If you gained enough power to overthrow a government, who says the next won’t abuse it too? And once again more blood spills of those who aren’t calling the shots.

I love being constantly told on this site to go be a suicide shooter. I love everyone assuming we’re gun nuts. I love everyone assuming we all wanted this. I voted, I protest, I contact my reps, I tell my friends to vote, I boycott, I do as much as I can. But if I’m not out there threatening to bomb the White House and kill all Republican representatives then it’s worthless.

Anyway, we have a national strike coming up on May 1st. Minnesota already had a strike in January.

Buy used. Google meets their security standards.

Or just wait for the Motorolas with preinstalled Graphene. We’re unsure of when they’re coming though.

Man the custom ROM life just reinforces my idea that stock Android is a fucking nightmare. I use Graphene and it just asks, “Hey, do you want to install this app (+ without network access?” Yes? Neat, it’s on your phone now. The literal only roadblock is enabling installs from non-appstore apps like browser or files, which makes sense. No fear mongering, no developer mode, no wait a day to do it.

Two: having the enter the address in a non-standard way (for the US) City, Street, Building Number, makes finding things even harder.

THAT’S why i always struggled to look up buildings on Comaps! Hell, I wondered why the sesrch was so hard!

My main issue is the lack of traffic data. I wish I didn’t live in a car-centric society, but i do, so I need to know if the route I’m taking is going to be shit.

I’ve been using YT music anyway, but I recently started using my Navidrome server by just yt-dlp’ing albums + tag with MusicBrainz picard and boom. A bunch of songs I can own until my server burns down.

I feel a little bad about pirating, but I’m a college student who hasn’t even gotten a job yet… But I will be buying merch or music off bandcamp in the future when I know I have the budget for it!

I used to use the ListenBrainz app to scrobble from YT music until it had a stroke around December, so now I use Pano Scrobbler on Android. You can tell it what apps to monitor/scrobble from.

I found a web scrobbler extension that seems to be pretty popular on github that’s available for like every browser and supports multiple services. But I haven’t tried this before yet.

Okay you triggered my growing fixation to this game and I’ve been trying to hold myself back from buying it since I have a massive backlog to get through.

I really want to see the lore of this game knowing that it’s basically got three parts to it.

Okay how good is Smart Tube for ypu? I downloaded it to my family Fire TV but my mom just refuses to use it, so we watch long, loud, unbearable ads all the time. I get that there’s no algorithm to find videos, but can you import subscriptions? My mom has noticed YT never shows her a few of her subscribed channels in her recommended anymore.

Yay for the EU! Hopefully you guys get a law that will permanently enshrine your privacy rights (or rights to encrypted chats at least).
