Not a shill or anything, but isn’t Prime Video thrown in for free? Here in Australia, we pay for Prime to get free next day shipping, and Prime Video is a free inclusion.

Although I guess, now, it’s kinda all advertised as a group of services for the subscription fees, so I’m probably answering my own question here.

I’ll go have another coffee and wake up properly…

Edit: just checked - Prime Video is definitely listed as a membership benefit along with the shipping, so they’re absolutely moving the goal posts mid-game, especially for annual subscribers. Dick move, Amazon.

100% this. I recommend also setting up SyncThing to keep a completely separate backup of your photos (if you have the means). They even state that on their GH repo that, due to the highly active development, you shouldn’t rely on Immich as the sole solution to backup photos and videos.

Yep, until PhotoPrism revealed themselves to be the greedy cunts they are.

I sponsor my favourite tech projects annually, as I believe in supporting independent and responsible open-source development.

I became a paid Github sponsor for PhotoPrism because they promised features like multi-user were coming, and they indicated that paid sponsors would get access. After what seemed way too long a wait, they finally released the features many of us had been waiting for, only to stick them behind a monthly paid subscription. For self-hosted users. 🤨

So, I switched to Immich about 6 months ago. I’ve found Alex and the rest of the team to be very active, and quite responsive to support requests, including on Discord. Additionally, the development is fast-paced and new features are coming all the time.

My money’s going to Immich. PhotoPrism can go get fucked.

You can also self-host a Joplin sync server, which works exceedingly well too.

Nice! The settings export/import from the SMT version to the new Fossify version works perfectly, plus we get a nice green icon, to easily tell them apart. So happy they’re forking these apps.

Oh, they’ll be “maintained” alright. Just at what cost to the user is what needs to be determined.

Love this! Lot of similarity to what I use - Authelia’s awesome, especially paired with a free push 2FA like Duo.

I’ve found the HP iLOs to be really unreliable for viewing across the network. Something I’ve been meaning to look into…

Yeah, seems about right. I’m planning on buying a 32RU rack in the new year - will fit it out with power monitoring PDUs while I’m at it.

Love it! I’m gonna grab a 32RU rack soon. Got most of my stuff in a small ~14RU wall cabinet right now. I was originally aiming for low power everything - RasPis, etc. But I’ve since bought a couple DL360s, and you just can’t beat the sheer grunt factor, especially when paired with Proxmox.

Yep - fair enough. Admittedly, my homelab is as much for professional development as it is home use, but pretty much everything gets used all the time.

Honestly, anything not mission critical (network/internet and home automation, mainly) gets auto-updated by Watchtower. I have Watchtower set to pull latest images of everything on a weekly basis, and specific containers that are set to monitor only. Every Saturday morning, I check the Slack channel for notifications of containers that need controlled updating.

Well, to be fair, I do use my homelab to play with stuff I may or may not want to use at work. I don’t need PEAP auth for wireless, with a separate RADIUS server and Postgres database. But I have it. 😉

Lol - Merry Christmas, my anonymous friend. 🎅

There’s a lot not worth mentioning, but broadly…

• Home automation
  • Home Assistant
  • esphome
  • Node-RED
  • MQTT
  • Frigate
• Homelab/management
  • 2 x Pi-hole (plus supporting services - Cloudflare tunnel, for example)
  • Grafana
  • Prometheus
  • Shellinabox
  • Forgejo (git)
  • Netbox
  • VScode
• Media/entertainment
  • 2 x Sonarr
  • 3 x Radarr
  • Calibre
  • Piped
  • Minecraft
  • other supporting *arrs
• Data
  • Paperless-ngx
  • Immich
• Social
  • Lemmy
  • Mastodon

Nice - have you got anything setup to monitor power consumption? I’ve got a few of those “smart” plugs running on Tuya (localised through Home Assistant) but I’m not 100% convinced of their accuracy just yet…

Honestly, it’s because I like to play. I don’t need PEAP auth for my wireless network, but I run a radius server providing MAC and user auth, anyway.

Good question. According to my UPS, I’m pulling about 173Wh for everything except my pair of HP DL360s. Those each have a couple of 480W PSUs in them, but they’re nowhere near running at full tilt, so I can’t be sure. I really should get some power measurement going…

My starting point (with this incarnation of my homelab) was my Asrock ION330 nettop box. Then I discovered Raspberry Pis. Then I decided I needed a couple of HP DL360s. RIP my power bill.

Nice! There’s nothing better than finding new life for old tech.
