I got followed and immediately messaged by a mastodon user from another instance, we chatted for a while but it felt a little off, then they asked where I lived so I went to their instance and it was an instance for AI stuff so i figured the account was just some chat bot, because all their replies were very similar to what they were messaging me, since then there was no more activity from the profile after I stopped responding
And you can enable the fire fox sync to move all bookmarks and extensions over interchangeably which is encrypted before being uploaded to Firefox according to librewolf site or self host I think
oh interesting Ill have to look into that! thank you
that was my thinking too, if something happened to me I dont want all my wifes passwords to be locked out so I made her an admin on the account as well to be able to continue paying for the service or export her passwords

I’ve been meaning to install linkwarden to replace using Firefox bookmarks, I haven’t tried it yet but looks great
Whatever I can hit the super key and type what program I want. If it can open a browser steam or dark table, the rest doesn’t matter much. I was on crunchbang++ then popOS then fedora now I’m on arch with hyprland
We have to be hip and shorten it, so like maybe instead of package manager it can be pacman or if maybe by distro so like the popos can have a pop shop
The hardest part is picking a username and seeing what the name of the app store is on the distro
When i first started self hosting i went through several reinstalls of unraid until I finally got my method down and had a better understanding of what I was doing.
I recently did the same thing with arch on my laptop. The past like two weeks I reinstalled arch like 6 times until I knew what I wanted and how to do it from my notes, I went from arch with plasma to i3wm and now to hyprland so now I can do a minimal install to hyprland and get everything up and going to the point I felt confident enough to do the same to my main home desktop
I think that’s the one i use, I had a few mobile users not be able to watch plex in the past so I installed jellyfin and that so they could go back and forth
No i don’t but some of them send me money every once in a while just because they use plexripper to download from my server to theirs, I’m going to be running the server anyways so people using it feels better than it sitting idle
I use plex mainly but run jellyfin alongside it for people that watch on mobile.
I started with my old desktop that had an Intel cpu with quicksync and put unraid on it, i started with 2tb disk and gradually switched over to 14tb drives now I’m at 100tb total storage.
I have several famy friends coworkers using it now, at first no one was really interested but as streaming prices went up and content got more dispersed people started jumping on board.
Now multiple friends setup their own servers so its really good coverage especially if I need to take mine down for maintenance the wife can keep watching stuff from other people’s servers.
Things you need to find out is if you are behind a cgnat or other isp issues
Ive been looking at those anker solix battery systems they supposedly can be used as a ups but haven’t looked into how well and you can plug solar panels into them which was my original goal to reduce the power usage from the grid at least for part of the day
I started with my old gaming rig as a server, any decent intel cpu with quicksync is very good for plex and transcoding saving having to buy a cpu if you went with like a server grade cpu with no igpu
I used nextcloud to replace Google drive, i was using the calendar but ended up using the protonmail one instead
I was using popos regular LTS for about a year and always worked fine, no fuss getting nvidia drivers setup or anything.
I recently moved over to arch btw and using hyprland so its been pretty rough trying to get things working like I had on pop
I have immich machine learning and ollama with openwebui
I use immich search a lot to find things like pictures of the side of the road to post on my community !sideoftheroad@lemmy.today
I almost never use the ollama though, not really sure what to do with it other than ask it dumb questions just to see what it says
I use the duckduckgo one when it auto has an answer to something I searched but its not too reliable
So now I’m curious what distro you like most? I’ve been using popos for about a year at this point then tried fedora for about a week and now installed arch to feel around
I use obsidian and ezcalidraw also, I didn’t realize we can put one in the other
