Missed you but are there any other self-hosted or similar communities in the area?

IRC server or ZNC bouncer.

I only have a ZNC bouncer and a copy of the lounge running on a VPS nowadays. Mainly kept around for some ebooks, and IRC only stuff like trackers. If I tried to actually pirate, I’d blow through the VPS’s monthly bandwidth cap.

Currently in the middle of a cutover between Flickr/Dropbox/iCloud mess to Photoprism. Immich, I’ll keep in a test instance with a decent chunk of duplicate files but I’m not too keen on how it, along with others, disregards your file structure.

I was looking at that earlier and grabbing an S3 bucket or setting up MinIO does not appeal to me. I think I’m just burned out from IRL work.

Been using Real-Debrid for years now on/off without any issues. There’s plenty of telegram channels that run them as well if you look.

Lazy piracy with YouTube for me, VPN signup and burner account. Am I happy with their business practices? Nope, but they play too much cat-mouse with the blockers that I’d rather they take my ~$1.17/m and left me alone.

I use this container, favonia/cloudflare-ddns, for Cloudflare and my domain.

I’ve even ventured back to IRC for some things. This Reddit explosion has opened all sorts of old doors for me, it’s very refreshing.

I haven’t found anything software-wise (self-hosted or SaaS) that I’m satisfied with for photos. Thankfully, those are easy enough to backup and aren’t used day-to-day. What have you tried, and do you like/dislike of each?

Goes against the spirit of self-hosting but for some stuff(Email, DNS, Passwords), I just SaaS it out. As much as I love my lab, nothing self-hosted in my prod environment is critical.
