Deadloch would like to have a word.

But seriously, I can imagine 50% of people saying in the abstract they would like more locally produced content, though I’m not sure that it would actually affect purchasing behaviour.

Is this actually unpopular? Give me web interface that works OK on mobile and I’m usually a happy camper.

Thanks for the heads up, I will check that out!

Photoprism, running on a Raspberry Pi 4. I’m just running it as a single user, and it’s been working well for that. A couple of notes:

• Video transcoding is a bit iffy on the rpi, but I’m running it under docker and might just move it all to a mini pc at some point
• I don’t have it accessible publicly, but get to it online via Tailscale
• No app, but the Web interface is good.
• I’m currently running it in “read only” mode (mainly out of initial paranoia when trying it out, but it seems fine) so I have syncthing backing up the photos from my phone wirelessly and occasionally do an import of new images in.

I’ve got a very similar setup now. Only recently adopted tailscale and was previously port tunnelling over SSH to access anything on the local network. SSH is still open, and am just waiting a bit to see if theres any cases where I need it before closing that out too.

Short story: If you don’t need stuff open to the general public, just having Tailscale will probably cover you.

Great to see!

I bought my last laptop a couple months before they started shipping to Australia last year (dang it…), but Framework will be high on the list next time.

Yeah, I mean digg.com still technically exists…

Same setup here. I’ve got a really basic script running nightly from cron. B2 is cheap as, and having an encrypted backup that’s versioned is great for piece of mind.

At one point I was away from home and my (little rpi) server wasn’t accessible, but with the restic repo up on B2 I was able to easily find a file I urgently needed remotely. It’s awesome.

Seconding Syncthing! You don’t need a rpi to get started, but it’s fantastic having it around as the always-on node you can use to sync multipe devices without them being online at the same time.
