people who want to watch Porn without supplying a government ID

Yeah, and this is where the part of my comment that discussed "laws that apply" is nuanced. If the laws that apply are designed to abridge people's autonomy, and right to privacy,, then that's an unjust law.

I'm self-hosting Piped and couldn't be happier. Clean, distraction free and, importantly, private. No data mining. Importing your subscriptions from a Google Takeout dump is simple.

LibreTube for Android is my mobile client, and talks to my Piped server without any issues. The only thing missing at this stage is a client for my Chromecast GTVs. For those, I still watch YouTube with SmartTubeNext, which means keeping two sets of subscriptions in sync. A little frustrating, but relatively painless, for the privacy benefits.

Censorship is wrong. Every rational, adult human being should have the fundamental right to their autonomy, without third party intervention, with full awareness of the laws that apply to them.

If they decide to abuse that freedom and awareness by accessing illegal content (even CSAM), then they are taking the risk of being discovered, prosecuted, and punished accordingly. And, in many cases (like CSAM), I hope they are caught and punished.

Regardless of the outcome, it still starts with the freedom for that individual to make that decision for themselves.

I was an original xbmc user (original, as in chipped Xbox Classic original - I still have it). I switched to Plex earlier this year. Why? Consistent user experience across multiple devices (three Chromecast GTVs, plus phones, tablets, and laptops), plus centrally managed user profiles for the five people in my house.

Sure - I probably could've done a lot of heavy lifting with scripts and plugins to make Kodi kind of achieve the same thing, but Plex Just Works.

I... didn't know I needed this. Remapped the YT and Netflix buttons, with single and double taps. The remote is now exactly the remote I need for my Chromecast.

My personal favourite: "What's your cheapest price for cash?". Like I'm a a department store taking credit card or something.

Yet it still acts like a pissy little 8yo.

saying you shouldn’t use it

The disclaimer says "Do not use the app as the only way to store your photos and videos.. It doesn't say not to use it.

In other words, don't (yet) trust it like you might Google Photos or iCloud. Make sure your images are syncing to your Immich server, and make sure you back them up.

I've been using Immich for a few months now, and couldn't be happier. I have a 2N+C strategy for my data (what many people call 3-2-1). My Immich server writes all synced photos and videos to my primary NAS, which in turn is synced to my secondary NAS. Once a night, I sync copies to a cloud storage service.

I hate all of these things so much. Like somehow my clipboard (which any halfway decent password manager either doesn't use, or scrubs clean after use) is the weak link in the security chain.

I'll go one better to @[email protected]'s example: I once created an account on a "security" vendor's website (quoted, because they acquired security products, rather than developing them) that limited passwords to 12 characters. They didn't tell you - they just shortened it before (presumably) storing the hash.

Fun and fucking games trying to logon each time, when your password manager has stored the random 16 char password you thought you were setting.

I used to run pretty much all my workloads on Raspberry Pis, mostly in docker containers. I've since moved over to some ex enterprise servers and Proxmox, so I really only have a couple of Pis left in service, running:

• Frigate: nvr for my IP cameras
• exim: mail relay server for my stuff to be able to email out (nothing in)
• Wireguard: outbound VPN server connected to Mullvad
• Pi-hole: 2nd instance for redundancy, also runs cloudflared (for DNSoHTTP) and pihole-exporter (for putting Pi-hole stats into Prometheus)
• Mosquitto: because I haven't moved it yet
• Prometheus: ditto

Based on the Hook Up's reviews, I could've gone with either one for my needs.

I went with Reolink on price in the end. I'm in Australia and, at the time, they were a little cheaper here.

I think I pay (here in Aus) 95 bucks for 30GB of data, which has a 1 year expiry.

A month out, I turn on a specific firewall rule on OPNsense to force my Usenet traffic over it. I usually eat up the balance in a day or two, at which point I disable the rule again, and top up the data for another year.

$95 for a year of 4G backup capability ain't bad. What I haven't done yet is setup my OPNsense rules so that the heavy traffic doesn't route over 4G in the event of an outage. I really only want it so I can browse the internet, access email, etc.
