I like it and is my secondary browser, but it does have baked-in telemetry.

Thanks :)

Can you share the link, please.

• Aves for gallery, Immich for backup/web viewing

Do you have any workflow to automatically upload to Immich?

Maybe run it behind a reverse proxy and use that for auth.

Only if I had something like a Graphene phone, but with the prices incumbent in their current Motorola deal, that’s about a decade away.

For what it’s worth, you can explore the second hand market for cheaper Pixels + not giving money directly to Google.

Can confirm link now works. Thanks and congrats.

Same here on a 7A, which is slower than the pro version. Although OP should know that the 7 series is stopping support in 1-2 years: https://grapheneos.org/faq#device-lifetime

I have a similar use-case.

What I did for the VPN was to use Wireguard. I configured it using wg-easy, and it’s, well, very easy. What your need to do is:

1. Install wg-easy via Docker.
2. Configure it and create a profile.
3. Open ports in your router to allow port-forwarding the Wireguard tunnel.
4. (Optional). Install a Wireguard client on your cellphone. I use “WG Tunnel”, a FOSS client. Note that the author of the app is a bit of a religious nut, If you care about that kind of stuff.
5. Scan the profile QR generated in wg-easy on your WG Tunnel.
6. Increase the “PersistentKeepalive” parameter to something like 30 seconds in WG Tunnel. This will increase the tunnel’s resiliance to disconnections due to small packet losses; without that, Jellyfin/Navidrome will constantly disconnect.
7. Open Navidrome/Jellyfin, and done :)

Let me know If you have any questions, glad to help.

“Google shouldn’t have restricted Android, that’s their (anti-user) choice, isn’t it???”

The other party shouldn’t be able to unilaterally chance the terms. It is my phone, after all, and I strongly believe I should be able to do whatever I can with the devices I own.

Even then, what other choice for an usable but actually of property of the user phone do you suggest? iPhone?

It’s also extremely convenient for Google, a company lobbying ID laws, to add ID harvesting; or for Google, a company pushing for anti-user behaviour to add anti-user behaviour. If this was about security, they would stop shipping spyware, and take security seriously, something they do not.

Yeap, that’s pretty much it.

Note that the link you shared has a Google’s user tracker (the part after the ?is links to your identity to create a profile of who you connect with). The clean version is https://youtu.be/qlcVx-k-02E

I have that exact setup. Let’s suppose you want to use layzer.lan as your domain. The way I did it:

1. Make a DNS record that maps *.layzer.lan to your private IP (let’s say it is 192.168.0.10). You can do this by either manually editing your local DNS resolver config file, or hosting a DNS server and adding a a new entry. I did the later, and chose AdGuard for that. Either option will make your PC underestand that going to any subdomain *.layzer.lan means going to 192.168.0.10.

2. Use a reverse proxy. I use nginx-proxy-manager, and added a proxy host for each service you want to access with the link. For example, for my Immich server that is running in port 30041, I added a proxy host such that http://immich.layzer.lan/ takes you to http://192.168.0.10:30041/. Ports 80 and 443 have to be free for nginx to take. You can also add https support from here, and it’s very easy to do if you have bough a real domain.

Offtopic: I just noticed that on my Lemmy Android client you appear as laserjet, but on web you appear as layzerjeyt lol. Any idea why?

Less than 24 hours here lol.

I doubt that was my case. I saw comments from Prokbun’s CEO on r/selfhosted that they have a random flag system, and the discussion included my TLD. Plus Cloudflare let me buy it just fine without that intrusive step.

When I tried Porkbun, they asked me for selfie+ID before I could buy a domain there. I think is a random flag, but just a heads up.

I’ve been following reitti for some time. Happily surprised to see you on Lemmy :)

Didn’t knew it allowed live location sharing, thanks for the info.

I use backrest. It’s incredibly powerful, but has a steep learning curve. A way simpler (not as powerful) alternative is Timeshift. Your distro/DE also probably has a backup app.

I would suggest you start to play around with whatever machine you have in hand. Later on you can migrante to a more serious solution. If you want to first play on a VPS, Hertzner’s are like 4€/month

As for utilities, you could start with (in suggested order over my perceived usefulnes/coolnes/difficulty) Immich, videogame server, Jellyfin, Wireguard, Jupyter server (if you code Python), backrest.

When you want to scale up and migrate into a more “serious” setup, it depends on that you want and your budget. Still, I recommend a multi-disk bay PC (NAS), and go for a dedicated Linux distro (I’m using TrueNAS; not perfect, but overall a very good experience).

Immich has a built-in backup solution, iirc. Still, I would use a different one, so it can easily be used over non-Immich related stuff.

but that one is 500 with no RAM at all, which is quite hefty.

I got mine open box off from eBay. You could search in a similar way. I hunted for a few days, with terms like “NAS”, “N100”, “N150”, “MiniPC”, “4 Bay”, etc.

though I’m not quite sure what to pick best, motherboard being the hardest one.

I’m not sure on this, so take it with a grain of salt, but I think non-NAS oriented mothebaords aren’t optimized for low energy consumption, specially on idle.

Best of luck!
