I went with Arch Linux on ARM for a minimal approach - did you try that?

Genuninely interested in your experience of Alpine Linux as I’d not considered it on a Pi (only VMs so far…)

If you’re just looking for something to chew up CPU cycles and don’t know what to host, consider something like BOINC where you’re “self-hosting” (extremely loose term) scientific research, like cancer, new drugs, etc.

If they’re sharing it with me, then sure, I’ll add it to the folder for that party, holiday, event

Immich would scan it and faces are taken care of and if there’s metadata in there, great, if not, dunno if I could be bothered to edit it… maybe date stamp if that was wildly off.

I commented elsewhere here, but E2E encryption is just between the server and the end user (ie a VPN)

You’re thinking about encryption at rest, on the storage.

Immich would have to setup a whole new design to be able to store all the metadata on a per-user basis… but… you could have multiple Immich instances if you were to host it for your friends, but I think we’re drifting into “why bother” now…

Well… E2E is still feasible, that’s your VPN for example.

Encryption at rest is where de-dupe, search, etc, can break.

Why wouldn’t this apply?

One day in the future the later version of sudo would become available…?

As far as mitigation is concerned, the only thing you need to do is to confirm that your system’s sudo version is at least version 1.9.17p1 or later, which can be done with the command sudo -V. If your version is older than 1.9.17p1, update immediately.

I guess this is mainly targeted at Universities and organisations that mirror repos?

They’re the kinda place (I presume) that would be able to support this…

Is that the same i as the squareroot of -1?

If you’re able to, use GeoIP ranges to only allow access from the countries you want.

That immediately limits a lot of everything

Then - again if you’re able to - use a block list that covers known scrapers in case they’re in your country.

I use pfBlockerNG on my pfSense firewall for exactly this.

I believe some manufacturers allow end users to claim the license cost back.

Do check the manufacturer’s T’s & C’s - you might need Windows if returning for hardware issues.

I take a full disk image of a new computer before powering it up, so that I can restore it exactly as it was when purchased.

Take a backup and go for it.

Personally, I ditched OMV for standard Arch Linux and just added the packages I wanted…

It was a weird mix of driving beat out cars / vans around farm fields (some of it during summer jobs… fantastic), gaming, walking / biking, then driving places with my friends and missing out on canabis… mostly good times

Stranger Things brought back a lot of memories for me, albeit without all the weird stuff.

Well, depends on what you mean by “better”:

Personally, I think it’s the best advertising point of these devices - “effortlessly” making your phone fully charged again.

That single (non-verbal) action has made more people reconsider their choice of phone than anything else.

Yeah, I do get it - I pulled a (single) photo off my phone recently and it took “a second” (ie slurp of coffee), which - to me - is fine.

But, yeah, if I was browsing them all and copying loads… I get your point.

Which is exactly what I recently did with my 3+… all charging issues now solved and I didn’t have to spend days reconfiguring a new phone to how I like it

Yeah, me too.

t’s great ripping off the back of the phone and swapping a battery whilst all the iMoan users are staring in disbelief, tethered to the power outlets
