If you are setting up a new server, what would you do different?

    I would have used Docker and Docker Compose a whole lot more. There's servers I've realized I've been hosting for over a year and forgotten about. At least with Docker I can check on those much more easily

    Wikipedia is also actively used by practically anyone that has a connection to the internet, too. Something like Lemmy has way higher costs per user (both financial and computational), and a significantly smaller user base.

  • They are analog roller shades. I feel like it could be a decent project but my budget isn't great, so i do want to know if that is something worth DIYing or not. Also I wouldn't know what micro controller to use. Any tips? Edit: also does anyone know of any federated /r/homeautomation equivalent?

    Half life Alex. I'm the only person I know IRL with a VR headset, so playing such an incredible and unique game feels like having an amazing dream that leaves you with intense euphoria , but knowing no one around you really cares as much about it as you.

  • Is there any good alternative to imgur for uploading screenshots?

    Haven't they always, though? Pretty sure since the beginning it purged anything that hasn't been viewed for something like 6 months or so. That's why you got a lot of dead links in old Reddit (or others) posts

  • How do you actually back up and save your photos and media off of your Android phone?

    That's pretty interesting. I've thought of setting up a Nextcloud but it didn't ocurr to me it could help out with this.

    About your S3 backup strategy, I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind:

    • Do you essentially just make an encrypted .zip or .tgz of your whole NC instance and upload it straight? Or do you have some kind of delta updating

    • What S3 tier do you use? Intelligent-Tiering or something else?

    Already today I've made probably 15 Google searches with the "reddit" suffix only to be met with privated subreddits. It's a grim feeling, considering my undying support for sticking it to Reddit rn. It kind of feels like passing by the place old restaurant that was always nasty and unhygenic yet had delicious nostalgic food, and remembering that the place eventually closed down and you won't get that experience anymore.

  • I've mostly just relied on Google Photos, and I really like its features. However, I have always been deathly afraid of losing access to my Google photos account and losing all of those, so I need a better way to actually back up my photos. Right now all I do is do a Google Takeout every so often, but that's inefficient as hell. How do you do it? How do **you** backup or sync your photos with a PC/local server?
