I drink a cup of water per drink and I’ll never get a hangover.

I use immich with a public proxy as my forward facing solution.

The public proxy helps when I share photos behind a password.

I have a 3 2 1 backup policy with roughly 200tb of total storage. Then I backup in a remote location (6 timezones away) that I also own. The only time I’ll lose access to my photos is if the entire world blows up.

Everything is secured using VPN tunnels. Data isn’t encrypted at rest for me though, I’d rather assume the risk of someone getting my photos (physical and technical access) than having my encryption mess up. Both are equally low risk, but ones more disastrous.

Or you learn proxmox and running everything as a VM

I want to be able to upload/download/share my photos from anywhere in the world without using a VPN. Additionally, this satisfies the wife requirement. It works in the background without her needing her to turn on the VPN. I don’t want her to keep asking me how do I turn on the VPN? If it’s just me, then no issue, I’ll use a VPN.

It’s hard to explain from scratch.

Caddy is a reverse proxy software that essentially redirects traffic from a certain port to another port. For example external:port => internal:port. It also enables SSL encryption meaning everything will be encrypted en route between the external and the user.

VPS is a virtual private server. Just someone else’s computer you can expose to the Internet.

Tailscale is a mesh VPN that uses wire guard as its transport. I use this to tunnel between my VPS and my Immich server to hide my home IP and to allow encrypted traffic between my Immich server and my VPS.

A zero-day (also known as a 0-day) is a vulnerability in software or hardware that is typically unknown to the vendor and for which no patch or other fix is available. The vendor thus has zero days to prepare a patch, as the vulnerability has already been described or exploited.

There’s no fix other than security through layers.

Pretty much I have caddy on a VPS that’s pointing to my internal IP using a tailscale tunnel. You are still exposing the web gui to the Internet so I just changed authentication to OAuth to mitigate since risk. There is still a possibility of attacks via zero days, but my immich is on a VM and I’m creating firewall rules to just allow certain ports out.

Pee pee poo poo

Different CDN that throttles videos that only allows 480p resolution max. You’ll have to go to the main website to watch anything higher.

Or they’re prepping for locking higher resolution through a paywall or you have to be logged in to watch 720p or higher.

They want to force you into the YouTube website for analytics and watching habits. Maybe you’ll find a video that catches your fancy and spend longer on there.

You know, I’ve always attributed it to wifi shenanigans. Never crossed my mind that it was a hardware fault.

Thankfully in my household I have a rule, if it’s not handheld, it’s s wired. So thankful we don’t have much issues with it

Unifi U6 Mesh. Love the form factor

Darjeeling is just a region where tea is made right?

It’s like my Keurig tastes the same as my hand ground coffee from Columbia?

I think you can do winget install Mozilla.Firefox?

Yeah I wish we had the opportunities to do that. But having the aquarium to ourselves for 2 hours was really nice.

I got married there! During COVID they were offering small gatherings of up to 16 people total.

The AVMA documented 66 human fatalities caused by pit bull type dogs, 39 by Rottweilers, 17 by German shepherds, 15 by husky type dogs, 12 by Malamutes, 9 by Dobermann Pinschers, 8 by Chow Chows, 7 by Great Danes, and 7 by St. Bernard dogs.

Top 10 Dog Breeds of 2023

It’s no surprise to dog lovers that the Frenchie remains in the No. 1 spot, and the rest of the top five breeds follow a similar pattern. Same as 2022, the Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd Dog, and Poodle are ranked No. 2-5 respectively.

There’s some shuffling in the top 10 from 2022 to 2023. The Dachshund is making moves, jumping from the No. 9 spot in 2022 to the No. 6 spot in 2023. Rottweilers took their spot at No. 9 in 2023, moving down from No. 7 in 2022. Bulldogs went from No. 6 in 2022 to No. 7 in 2023. The Beagle remains at No. 8, and the German Shorthaired Pointer remains at No. 10 with no change in rank.

They allow nudity, but still quite restrictive

Lots of defense uses XMPP as well
