Freetube = seriously good.

Obligatory mention of Kagi (which is actually brilliant).

Immich is the must for self-hosting photos. Bye Google.

I reckon Kagi is the best search engine out there. It's paid though. Second I'd have Qwant followed by DDG.

Currently running NixOS with Debian and Arch containers in distrobox. Certain apps in NixOS (e.g. Calibre) don't respect the scaling in Gnome, but work perfectly via distrobox. Btw, there's a nice GUI for distrobox called Boxbuddy that works really well.

I hadn't considered this. It's interesting stuff. My old doctor used to just Google stuff in front of me and then repeat the info as if I hadn't been there for the last five minutes.

Get a room.

This is the part that bothers me the most, I think.

Same thing happened to me. That was The Day I Dumped Google.

OK, good points. I've had lots of hallucinations and fake info tho.

Yeah but the report says the vulnerability is related to graphapi which doesn't seem to be a part of all OwnCloud installations. I can't see it on mine either.

Yeah, the personal backup and sync. Sorry, I didn't think to make it clear.

Actually this fixed it. Thanks! They can access if I share it but NOT if I add them as a user and then share it. I had to delete them as a user first 🤷‍♂️

Thanks a lot. Tailscale is out, unfortunately. Because the server also runs Plex and I need to use it with Chromecast on remote access (it's an old CC, so can't add tailscale to it). Looking into Cloudflare and port forwarding. I've just signed up to NextDNS though, so don't want to add another layer of DNS stuff to my mix.

Ah, I very much did not know that! Ok, I'm off to investigate Tailscale a bit more.

I'm using Immich in Nixos. It's simple. Takes about 10 mins. You need to set Docker up in your configuration.nix then set Immich up using docker compose. Let me know if you need a hand getting it going.

Immich is on a par with Google Photos, imo. It's self hosted though, so not for everyone.

Ah sorry man. I didn't spot it.

Just signed up for this. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks. I'm still a bit confused about the domain stuff, but I'm looking into it.

Replying to my own comment to say thanks again for all the tips and advice. I got it all sorted with Tailscale. The final piece of the puzzle!

There are four candles. https://piped.video/watch?v=CNTM9iM1eVw

That is true. I only use mine locally, so it's not a problem. Although you can remote access via Tailscale for safety. It's quicker and easier than trying to set up remote proxies etc, about which I know nothing. Tailscale took 5 mins.

Doesn't Gnome 45 have improved scaling (haven't tried it yet)?

I'm not that tech savvy, and iDrive is cheap 🤣

I bit the bullet on Kagi a few weeks ago. I love it. Am never going back. Worth every penny to me.

Thanks a lot. Whereabouts do I add it to Nginx? Do I need to do this through the dashboard for the proxy host or is there something in docker that I need to add?

Oof. That's bad news. I don't have that bit of kit on my setup though. Luckily.

Thanks. I found it, but still borked. Need to do some digging. Strange things are afoot at the Circle K ...

Yeah that's interesting.

Yeah I think it works on Fedora ok. I spoke to customer service, but they told me I was out of luck with Nixos.

Even that doesn't work. I've made them an admin on the machine but they get a message saying they already have access to it. But ... they don't!

Yep. It says they are a member of my network. But no dice.

Skiff are pretty good too. Worth a look.

Oh cool. For some bizarre reason iDrive ask you to email them to get the link for the scripts. But you can get them here: https://www.idrive.com/online-backup-linux-download So just download the scripts, install Distrobox, and pull the Debian 12 image. Then enter the Distrobox Debian and navigate to the scripts. Change the permissions (chmod a+x *.pl) and execute the account_settings.pl script. I think I got an error about perl, but I just installed it myself (sudo apt install perl) and carried on. I think I might have had another error at some point but I just ran it again and it all pulled through properly. And now my Distrobox is on my iDrive dashboard and everything works properly. Just remember that if you reboot you might need to go back into the Distrobox and execute account_settings.pl again, but because everything's already installed it will just ask you to login, and that's it - you're back online. Good luck!

Actually the summaries are good, but you have to know some of it anyway and then check to see if it's just making stuff up. That's been my experience.

Thanks, I'm going to try this.

Thanks for the rec. I've got all my stuff running through NPM and am loath to change it just for this one (annoying) thing!

Thanks a lot. I'm still getting trusted domain errors. Obviously need to have a dig around.
