What's your contingency plan for the apocalypse?

If WW3 breaks out I am going to the nearest pharmacy and finding ways to get all the narcotics and going peacefully asleep, even though I do not live in the middle of Bum fuck nowhere I can see it from here. I wont get the pleasantries of a painless death of having a nuke dropped anywhere near me but I will suffer from the massive amount of radiation poisoning, all my data would be gone as is from the electromagnetic shock so yeah no worries from me.

I looked at the stuff and yes I turned off the Google.

May I ask why? You are paying a US company for something you can do for pennies on the dollar if you run searXNG. SearXNG does not collect and store your data anywhere other than on the place you are hosting it, so only you can see it unless you turn that off. There is so much more you can do with searXNG.

Do not pay for a search engine, period. Unless you are saying you are buying a raspberry pi and start self hosting searXNG.

You should look into searXNG, you get to modify so many things and it can use so many different engines.

Quitting the Google is incredibly easy, all you need to do is spin up the docker image of searXNG and set it up you mean. Screw US big tech!

This is the way, but I do have google as one of the sources, maybe I should look at turning that off? I was born in the late 80’s so I know how bad search engines can be until Google came along so I just kept the Google as one of the sources.

I still have my account but it is dead, I do not use it. As I understand it having inactive accounts looks bad in the books. I have a facebook account for the exact same reason, I do however go jonesing to go on there every so often.

Today I started my self hosting journey

Jump

Reannlegge @lemmy.ca 1w ago

I am in the process of getting homelabbed up as well, I have been running piholes for years but I have gotten deeper into doing my stuff recently. My ISP is finally running fibre to my place this week and I had a game plan to get a lot of things setup so that I could do a switch over to my own firewall the day or two before the fibre was installed. I have a pi 5 with 1gb ram running openwrt, the plan was to do the switch over to it the day before the fibre was installed so I listed out all the things that would need to be changed, and on what days I would do it. My plan kept getting more compact as I am excited to do the actual switch, I have been crash testing things across my LAN but all the stuff I had planned on working on until Wednesday got comprised into this weekend so that I could do the important switch over and crash testing Monday and Tuesday and some fun stuff on Wednesday for the fibre to be installed on Thursday.

Talking about parents and setting things up for them I plan on showing my father the things I can do and try and convince him to join me use my services for the small price of off site backup.

Should I switch from Synology Photos to Immich?

Jump

Reannlegge @lemmy.ca 1w ago

I only really started getting deep into self hosting when the orange guy started threatening to make Canada the 51st state. So that is when I found immich, not sure how far I was into Lemmy when I found it but I have no complaints.

Reannlegge @lemmy.ca 1w ago

I am a fan of Immich but know nothing about Synology. Does Synology have a subscription or something? Immich has done a much better job at tagging things and putting them in to albums than Apple’s Photos ever did for me, it took the stuff that Apple had tagged and than did a much better job.

I have one domain at easydns.ca and one at hosthero.ca. I plan on moving the one on host hero to easydns once I have figured out my self hosting things.

Self-hosted Image/Video Gallery Options?

I run immich on a pi 5 8gb ram with a bunch of other services, highly suggest.

How many and how much are your subscriptions?

Last time my power was out all of my vaultwarden passwords were on my bitwarden install on my phone.

Reannlegge @lemmy.ca 2w ago

Run your own vaultwarden, you get to use all the bitwarden things for free. With rumours of enshitification coming let the people who do not do the self hosting pay for the development. If I had the money to donate I would have stopped the moment I heard the enshitification rumours.

I only pay for two .ca domain names, I originally was not self hosting when I got the first one so it is rather expensive as I use a different email address for every service/site I sign up for. I get next to no spam. The next domain I have as a test domain, I will be using it to test out things before I commit to them being on my main domain.

The first domain is something expensive, as they are currently doing all the hosting, the second one was something like $11 or $12. Once I get my test setup running I will move my main one over to my self hosted system.

Looking to build a K8s cluster, what are your strategies for finding affordable hardware?

Jump

Reannlegge @lemmy.ca 2w ago

I have a pi 4 running HAOS, I have an 8 gb pi 5 running a bunch of services, with head room to spare. I have a pi 5 with 4gb ram running Jellyfin with headroom to spare. Both pi 5’s are also running pihole.

I also have a pi 5 with 2gb that will hopefully handle my personal blog and email, hopefully! I have a pi 5 with 1 gb showing up on Thursday that will run my OpenWRT and LuCI. I had a pi zero 2 that handled wireguard but it could only handle it for DNS, with OpenWRT on a pi 5 I will be able to do more than just DNS over wireguard.

I personally have a handful of pi’s doing things, with plans to get more to do more (I have one in the mail to become my OpenWRT router). I was thinking of getting something simple to be able to do STT and TTS as I want to replace my HomePods as I slowly leave Apple and have have no interest in joining Amazon or Google for home automation, so I looked at my university’s used computers. I am not really a fan of buying some random persons old hardware but maybe a business is selling their old stuff.

I am a born and raised Saskatchewan being, so by default I am a Riders fan, it is amazing watching games the Riders are not in vs games the Riders are in.
