That’s pretty good!

How much storage is it using?

Sadly my current work is 100% windows only. My previous job was all linux, which I really, really miss.

I’ve got Debian with XFCE on the X220 I’m using as a server. No fuss, it just gets on with its job.

Damn. Shame I need a browser on Windows, Linux, iOS and android. Which is why I’ve been using Firefox for so long.

The iOS app on my phone doesn’t have that option.

Hopefully they improved face tagging. I can’t work out how to add a new person’s name.

Awesome! But damn, I just installed v1.144.1 last night to play around with it. 😁

I’m also using SFTPGo at home and it works well.

At least they didn’t call it a suppository.

“GitHub just reached its 1 billionth suppository!!”

I used a NetCup VPS for a while but it would repeatedly have terrible performance, presumably because whoever I was sharing the server with was hammering the machine.

I use https://sftpgo.com/ at home for backing up and accessing files. It’s a private unshared network and it works well.

Yggdrasil for me, i think. I honestly don’t remember how it went though.

I had Linux on a second SSD at home recently, but an update to the laptop’s BIOS seems to have stopped it from letting me boot from it. I only keep windows around for games, which is ironic, as I hardly play them anymore.

Work is a windows shop, but I’d rather use Linux.

Not for long…

I’ve always wondered what the WTF in LLM stands for.

Because Google don’t want you to export your photos. They want you to depend on them 100%.

For months I’ve had problems with YouTube videos in Firefox, at any resolution. They would play at really low FPS. Sometimes the player would pause and continue at the correct FPS, but usually not. Skipping backwards or forwards usually fixes it but not always. Another step in their monopoly to destroy competition.

Spot on. You can’t self host without reading app and system logs.

I’m using https://sftpgo.com/, which uses WebDAV. It’s as basic as can be but I like it because it’s so basic. I can mount drives in windows and Linux and it has a basic webui for file management. The only problem for me is mobile apps. I’m trying out OwlFiles on Android and iOS; the free version includes WebDAV support, which works well.

Don’t make anything accessible via the internet if you’re new and starting out. The last thing you want is to accidentally leave a port open, leave an admin page with a default guessable password, or a piece of vulnerable software running and have someone gain access to your local network.

Start locally and learn the basics following the excellent advice of others here, and slowly build your knowledge until you understand the various moving and connecting pieces.
