  • How to propperly Ansible and selfhost without burning out?

    Jump

  • You're doing fine.

    After seeing someone at work burnout, I'll offer this advice:

    Find what you enjoy doing and do nothing more (today). Itch only 1 scratch at a time.

    As an analogy - consider you've moved into a newly built house and have an empty garden. No-one would expect you to create that perfectly first time around. Esp. in 1 weekend. It needs time to grow. Some things will need cutting down, some things will need moving. Animals will crap on it.

    I think you're trying to make it perfect, first time around. Perhaps as a fear of doing it "wrong".

    There is no wrong, it's all a learning experience, doing things good enough for now and improving / breaking things later.

    Ensure you know how to backup your files (3-2-1 rule) and the rest doesn't matter.

    I've re-written my ansible scripts a few times, but over months and years as I've learned what works best for my system.

    For example, I had 1 complete script for each device. I can wipe the device (get it back on the network) and rebuild with no effort...

    ... then I realised that most of the scripts had very similar parts to tweak SSH and other settings, so then I learned how to call scripts from within scripts, which also meant using variables (facts) to work out if this is a 32b or 64b RasPi (for example)

    That probably took 3 months

    But I enjoy sitting in my garden and looking at it...

  • Immich Is Now Stable!

    Jump

  • Not arguing with you, it's just a choice.

    The question was whether Immich had to be executed from within a container system... and it doesn't have to.

  • Immich Is Now Stable!

    Jump

  • I guess that's true.

    I'm running it outside of a container and outside a VM... as there's no abstraction layer on top of the underlying OS. Which I guess is inside the bare metal.

    So, Yep.

  • Immich Is Now Stable!

    Jump

  • I'm running it bare metal on my NAS.

    No problems, plus I don't have to do extra container stuff.

  • Immich Is Now Stable!

  • I've not seen that option, but I use syncthing instead of the phone application to sync my photos to a specific folder on my NAS which is then an external library for Immich.

    TBH, I don't want anything deleting anything automatically.

    I'll often delete newer pictures of temporary stuff but keep older pictures of my frinds & family, so, that's not a feature I'd see any value in. It tends to just make me lazy and build up GBs of junk photos on my NAS (and backups...)

  • Does switching motherboard require a reinstall?

    Jump

  • For Bitlocker? Good point, OP would probably need that for the new mobo's TPM.

  • Using DHCP?

    Windows stores static network configs in the registry, so with the new mobo's NIC(s) if you try to set a static IP, Windows will complain that it already exists. Not a biggie as you'd just have to search the registry... if you're using DHCP no problem.

  • How to transfer a lot of storage?

    Jump

  • Not quite clear there...

    You're copying data from the source, to harddrives... and then to a server with different drives?

    Assuming it's just lots of smallish data files / media and not OS files (ie don't need symlinks, attributes, ownership, etc) then any backup software which generates hashes to be able to repair the archive during a restore would do.

    Btrfs doesn't need LVM, but I wouldn't use that on mobile drives.

    Or... is this one huge 80TB file?

  • Hackers Replace 'm' with 'rn' in Microsoft(.)com to Steal Users' Login Credentials

    Jump

  • Well, here's 1, l spotted:

    l also replaced 'I's with 'l's and vice-versa in some of my previous comments and haven't yet seen anyone react to them. Hopefully someone finds out the ones I did today.

    l did something simiIar in my original repIy, but it Iooked too weird, so gave up.

  • 780k Windows Users Downloaded Linux Distro Zorin OS in the Last 5 Weeks

  • And only if you get the torrent / magnet from the official site.

  • Linux Antivirus?

    Jump

  • Kinda mirroring the other points here, if you only install from the distro's repos then you're all good.

    But...

    Better than AV (blocks known bad), you're better off looking into things that only allow known good, like selinux, etc, which might be part of bazzite anyway? (I don't use it, so unsure)

  • 780k Windows Users Downloaded Linux Distro Zorin OS in the Last 5 Weeks

    Jump

  • Is that headline number for the free or paid for version? I couldn't tell from the article.

    Looks like all downloads are direct from them, so it's much harder for distros using torrents to know their install base, but I suspect they're not much different.

    I've seen increased activity with the Arch, Mint & Raspios torrents that I seed - although I don't have cold figures to say how much by.

  • I think you're looking for a calendar on a web page?

    So, probably not what you meant, but Radicale is a really good caldav server I use for our calendars

    It's a server, you need clients (ie phones, etc) to see the calendars, but I found that no-one wanted a web calendar, they just used their phones... so maybe it's an option...?
