Some people don’t JUST use their PC for gaming, other features also matter.

PopOS is sadly far behind the latest Ubuntu release

I’ve setup Nextcloud on Hetzner, and have ordered a mini PC to run Immich and experiment with.

Still trying to decide on a good cheap email host that I can also move my family on to eventually.

Synology aren’t Open-Source so that’s a deal breaker for me.

One of the main reasons I’m getting into homelabs etc. Is to take back control of my software and data.

If Synology decides to lock away features behind a pay wall they can.

TrueNAS sounds like the way to go for me, I’m just clueless what hardware would best fit my needs.

It used to be true that Windows is better for gaming. That’s no longer the case.

Since steam deck runs on Linux, they made a compatibility layer allowing you to play windows games on Linux.

I switched to Linux a few months ago and have been able to play all my games just fine.

(also dual boot is an option)

I still don’t see how the US can stop anyone from forking Debian etc.

Worst case scenario I can see is “The US implements martial law, no more trade what so ever allowed with anyone outside of the US and they put up a fire-wall to block all internet”

In that scenario we literally just pull Debian from the European mirrors, fork it and create NewDebian.

Problem solved.

Currently we heavily rely on Microsoft, Apple etc. If the US does the same thing, we’re fucked because we can’t just fork MS or Apple software.

They’ll stop receiving updates, but we don’t have to switch over in a week right?

Ubuntu is just an example {{insert any Debian based distro here}}

Debian is open source though. So unless they make it closed source we can keep using it.

Making it closed source would probably kill it and a fork would take its place.

Can’t we just keep going with Ubuntu and fork it the moment the US wants to do anything funny

Fire

Currently I’m just using CF as a tunnel so that I can reach my server through eg. immich.mydomain.com anywhere in the world. The issue I’m running into is Large files fail (they have file size limits)

This!!

Help the communities you like to see grow.

Just making one or two posts in communities that seem dead gets the ball rolling in making them alive.

It also motivates others to post.

Wait is Meta’s threads part of the Fediverse?

Been down the rabbit hole, Immich looks awesome. Installing it on my homelab now

I did contact the mod team, but they have issues eg. making false claims like this

They also have beef with r/Buy_European on reddit https://old.reddit.com/r/Buy_European/comments/1j6jeg3/the_other_buyeuropean_sub_is_apparently_now/

I like to use something like

Try out the European-Hosted Reddit alternative called Lemmy, https://phtn.app/

It also has a mobile app: https://vger.app/settings/install

I’m probably going to self host, as well as back up to secure cloud storage.

That way if my house burns down, I still have a backup.

I’ve created an account with your referral thanks.

I’m checking out the service, but I’ll probably self host if I like it since I already have a mini-PC i host stuff on.

I’m not self hosting at the moment, but looking at my options.

I have a mini PC with a terabyte of storage I might leverage.

I still see Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/BuyFromEU.

You can comment but I think it’s just “Hidden” idk
