I have limited my usecases for selfhosting and thrown money at the problem. The usecases are:

• image hosting and sharing with the family
• backups of our family computers
• digital file hosting
• media hosting

The last one is expendable. The first three are backed up into the cloud. I use a Synology, thus throwing money at the problem. Their cloud backup just works.

Edit: use cases I do not self host are a mail server for example. The stress outweighs the 12€/year I pay for the service.

German Wikipedia told me the whole series was published in German.

Sounds like a cool series!

On iOS there is GPX Tracker which simply records a GPX track and can overlay openstreetmap data while doing so.

Came to say this. Ginko is a symbol for longevity. I’d take it over a heart, @daddyjones@lemmy.world

Ayyy! Caramba!

The not ideal solution is storing the backup codes in our password vault.

If you want to have them separated from the passwords and login information I would create a second vault with a different password just for the codes and store them side by side.

Thanks for the advice!

My Apple devices are from work and we are able to use them privately with admin rights. On my private account I have mostly open source software like Quodlibet for my music collection, Firefox, Inkscape, and so on. My Mailaccount is from a small German privacy by design provider. I have a Synology NAS I run Paperless NGX and Jellyfin on. I switch Operating systems regularly.

I think I am well set up 😁.

It’s an encrypted database and I am not tech savvy enough to self host a sync service.

Corporate Users. My guess is, that almost any office job where you work on a Computer has Windows as OS. You have a license for your job. The license for home usage is bonus money to Microsoft.

KeepassXC with iCloud sync is my setup at the moment.

I love the rubber band hack!

Synology has a whole ecosystem with the option to host the footage on their core NAS Products. It is pricey, thou.

Hi! I was in your situation in January. I went for a used two bay Synology 720+ model, that came with 10GB RAM and a used WD Red 4 TB WD40EFRX.

The main reason I switched to a NAS was an easy way to share our children’s photos with my SO. Synology is perfect for this, because the photos app has face recognition and can search through location data, which is coming in handy with 25K photos.

Second thing I wanted to do on the NAS was the whole backup strategy of our laptops. At the moment we rely on cloud backups, but I wanted to change this to a solid 3-2-1 strategy. On top the cloud backup never really worked on my SOs laptop.

I had no ambition with selfhosting, but am familiar with Linux. At the moment I have a paperless instance and jellyfish running. I plan to put some shows for the kids on it, my CD collection and am ripping my DVDs.

Until now the process was very smooth. Paperless has some minor hiccups I could iron out, but the whole Synology infrastructure is really solid.

I picked the 720+ because the perks of a 723+ seemed negligible to me. This page offers a good comparison: https://nascompares.com/guide/synology-ds720-vs-ds723-nas-which-should-you-choose/

I would try the „retina formula“ to see, if the upgrade would benefit me.

Basically apples retina displays are engineered, that either the selected pixel density, pixel size and typical viewing distance, single pixels cannot be seen by the human eye. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina_display?wprov=sfti1#Rationale

If you have a small tv and it is several meters away from you, my guess would be that the difference is not that big.

I work as an Information Architect. I liked following their stream of thought to get an idea about what information weights more for a user.

Great post! Thanks.

Best played with headphones.

For audiobook that has been done: https://us.tonies.com/ The moment you lift the figure it stops playing and will resume, when you put it back. Nice concept for little kids and it went really well here in Germany. You will find a Toni box in most middle/upper class households. They are magnetic.

For audio books this has already be done: https://us.tonies.com/

It is a walled garden ecosystem, though.
