  • It’s so weird to me that in the US you pay to receive messages or calls. Where I live the sender pays, or the caller pays. It doesn’t cost to receive. Plus you normally get unlimited messages anyway, like even a approx US$10 a month plan will have unlimited SMS included and like 200 minutes of outbound calling, plus data.

    If you’re paying for messages received then people can send you unsolicited messages and it costs you money?

    Sorry you’re right, site isn’t the right word but I hoped the reference to lemmy would explain it.

    In regards to WebRTC, isn’t it bittorrent over WebRTC which allows bittorrent in a browser?

    This says:

    PeerTube uses the BitTorrent protocol to share bandwidth between users by default to help lower the load on the server

    Piped lets you view youtube videos without being tracked by google (and I guess without ads, though pretty sure uBlock Origin will do that anyway).

    Peertube is like an alternative site to youtube. It’s a different place to post your video (you can’t use it to watch YouTube videos to my knowledge). The site is federated like Lemmy, and it uses bittorrent to download videos so people viewing the video at the same time will send part of the data to each other, reducing load on the server.

    I have nextcloud and don’t even use it for file management (in that sense). It’s a joplin sync server, I use the Cookbook app probably as my most used thing on nextcloud, I use phonetrack, sync tasks.org to it for task management, use the Bookmarks app for keeping track of links.

    Plus I never feel bad for running extra services. Idle services use a pretty tiny amount of resources. I had 15 or 20 on a Raspberry Pi 4 before I switched to using an old laptop.


  • Ah, yeah, I backup like that too, just by backing up my docker bind mount directory. I was hoping you had a script that renamed them to their name in Paperless or something instead of the "000001”, "000002” naming they get from paperless. With thousands of documents I’m not sure how someone could find what they are looking for if paperless itaelf wasn’t available.






  • This is a nice theory, but remember people don’t always die in order. If you pass away before your parents, they will almost certainly appreciate your photos. If you die before your spouse, they will need access to documents and will appreciate photos as well.

    In a “hit by a bus” scenario, you don’t get a chance to migrate things away from your self-hosted solution, and those you leave behind most likely are not exclusively “future gemerations”.
