thanks! will look into it

this is true, refurb drives should be avoided unless it’s a very good deal. used drives are fine as long as the conditions are clear.

wait why are there 2024 cves?

yes there are binary packages available, so i just use ‘pkg install …’ like ‘apt-get install’. NetBSD also has binary packages and is pretty good. it’s all fun to use, but tbh i don’t think there’s many reasons to move away from a linux system because there’s not many clear advantages

i use freebsd on my desktop and server. it’s pretty good. linux emulation is also capable so everything just runs!

hardware compat isn’t as great tho. my laptop randomly stutters with freebsd so i use linux instead

nice phone! all of my phones i tested (with replacable battery) refuse to work without battery attached and almost instantly turns off if i ever detach it while running, even with power connected.

install ACCA to restrict battery charging current and capacity for safety

is this related to fosscord/spacebar?

you mean like irc-matrix bridges? i think you can use matterbridge…

i’m starting to think these people either don’t read the post body and only the title. or they’re bots? lol.

really don’t get it. they’re probably not paid to shill immich or something…

because i don’t want to use podman/docker? if you read the OP and the rest of the thread you wouldn’t have posted this comment…

lol, my frontend (mlmym) interprets it as an html tag and decides to show nothing (only <!-- raw HTML omitted -->)

Linux picturing with an iPhone? lol

yeah, it’s only job is to serve photos yet it needs a whole linux container to run… i get why some people like it but i said it’s not what i want.

it’s not that the deployment process looks hard. it’s an extremely complex piece of software, something that only provides “container” (read: full linux image) method for deployment because it’s too complex to install manually. if something ever goes wrong inside that container, i won’t be able to fix it.

no, it’s more about that i don’t want a separate linux installation on my freebsd server, all with its meaningless attack surfaces and such. i want something lightweight, and i specifically mentioned immich isn’t what i want in the OP. yet you folks are all downvoting and trying to persuade me to try that. no, i’m not using that.

after hearing it a few times i’ve tried it before and it’s not what i want. even ignoring the server part i hate that clunky google photos ripoff web interface.

it’s really not reliable especially for non techies. plus it’s a real p2p so…

just setup XMPP

if you do this, be sure to root and install ACCA to restrict battery charging and limit current for safety/longevity

this might actually work. thanks!

i have used DigiKam in the past, it’s more of an alternative to XnView not a selfhosted gallery… it doesn’t even support mobile phones or web
