I usually shut off the mains.

I’m doing a PhD right now. I understand.

It’s a type of fungus.

Caddy is the way.

If it’s for private usage, take a look at PrivTracker.

I’m currently running two 4tb HDDs in a DAS attached to a Lenovo Thinkcentre tiny. It’s more than enough for my usecase. (I don’t run Immich, but do run PhotoPrism, which is similar in terms of resource usage.) The DAS is attached to the Thinkcentre by USB 3.0 (you can do eSATA but I’m currently happy with this setup.) The HDDs are in a mirrored VDEV which is part of a ZFS pool. It’s running in on AlmaLinux with zfsonlinux.

I think Sonarr uses qBittorrent’s (or other supported torrent client) API for checking the progress, instead of periodic scans. Everything else is solid.

The most powerful app I’ve ever used for this is 1DM+ (there’s a free version as well). It won’t let you download YouTube videos due to Play Store rules, but everything else pretty much works. I’ve never managed to match its versatility or speed for downloading videos from sites with anything else. (I’d love to replicate it on my Linux machine, if I could.)

To me, Immich seems to be going too fast for now. Hopefully the development will slow down as it matures, and I might give it a try then. But I’m very happy with PhotoPrism anyway, and don’t really have a good reason to switch.

Have been using PhotoPrism for a few years now. Very solid and reliable. Search functionality is pretty good too.

I have paru -Rns abbreviated to yeet in my fish config. On my non-Arch systems, I also usually abbreviate/alias the equivalent command to yeet.

The best way would be to use a VPS to proxy your traffic to you. You can achieve this for pretty cheap, just set up an wireguard tunnel to a cheap VPS. That’s exactly how I access all my services from outside my home. As long as the VPS has a publicly accessible IP (most of them do), you being behind CGNAT should not be an issue.

Better start looking for a new job. That company might not be in business for too long, judging from the choices that they’re making. Especially, if they work in the IT space.

Dude, you’re literally in linuxmemes, ffs.

I personally use https://desec.io

This is the only reason why I still use GUI for making Linux USBs. Can’t trust my ADHD ass to write the correct drive name. Also, none of my USB drives have a light.

Popsicle is pretty nice, it doesn’t let you choose the internal drives afaik.

Yes, it just does what cp does. Only difference is that it makes hardlinks instead of copies. Unless you’re using a COW filesystem, this might be better for most situations.

I usually just let the files be where they are and cp -l to a directory where I can manage them however I want. This creates hardlinks, so you don’t use up any extra space.

Idk why, but I’ve always gotten a eery/weird vibe from Mark Rober. Very similar to what I feel when watching Mr. Beast. Whatever they do, it just feels shallow and disingenuous for some reason.
