just get an older thinkpad and remove the wifi/bt module

wasn’t autoplay here since like win98 or so though?

run pihole (or something similar) locally behind that vpn

By web based I mean they’re not a native desktop program and such.

Just curious, but is there anything that provides background sync on iOS except iCloud?

Thanks. I’ve actually already seen it, but it wasn’t enough as it only listed web hosted solutions and I found most of them lacking for my needs. Thankfully others’ comments below are pretty inspiring :)

Thanks. I should try making my requirements clearer. I’m curious, is there a reason you use Resilio despite it being proprietary over other solutions(like rsync scripts)?

Seems like I’ll be going on a setup pretty similar to this. Thanks!

That’s great, I never knew Photoprism can detect and work with digikam’s sidecar files. Thanks for sharing.

Seems like Syncthing is loved by many :) Not too sure how much it’d differ from rsync scripts, but I’ll give it a try. Thanks!

I don’t have that much data now, I usually lack storage (or computer equipments in general) so I tend to not store much. Those laptops have about 1TB storage each so that would hopefully be enough for me now. As they’re old and have ODD I can also have two drives on one, but I’m not sure if that’s needed for me now. I’d avoid external drives as they aren’t really reliable.

I see. Thanks for sharing your setup :)

I see. The lack of a desktop client seems to be Immich’s biggest con. I guess NextCloud wouldn’t be the best choice here. Thanks for replying.

Nice. So you have home folders of each machines in NextCloud? Are you using their official client to sync automatically or on a certain schedule? I never knew Jellyfin can be used as a photo library. Thanks :)

I wish lol. I don’t have a dedicated(?) hardware, just multiple laptops in various locations. They’ve ran pretty stable for the last few years of 24/7 use though. I’m thinking having some files synced to local would be enough backup, compared to none i have now (aside from few manual work).

Thanks for replying. Is there a reason you use Immich over NextCloud’s NextCloud Photos? Also I’ve occasionally heard NextCloud is pretty slow, is it okay for you? You’re using their official client program to sync files?

doesn’t old reddit work well enough? they removed the login prompt but it can be restored pretty easily with a userscript (just inject the login prompt copied from the wayback machine)

they are usually about a specific device. These are the few I’m in.

t.me/eureka_roms (Exynos 7884/5 Galaxy phones)

t.me/eliteroms_sexynos (Exynos 5443, 8890, 8895, 9810)

t.me/exynos9820oss (Exynos 9820)

t.me/LGG7V40Customs (LG’s SDM845 devices)

i kinda wanna quit nowadays but android customization channels (custom roms, gcam etc) are moving there from xda nowadays so no choice :(

wish there was some read only tg scraper.

i have that issue as well, sometimes it’s missing results and other times i get the same result repeated on page 2. not sure why that happens, but i guess it’s just a bit buggy.
