Man, I just set up navidrome and it instantly seems so much better and easier to maintain. Thank you so much for your input :)

I recently switched my phone from Android to GrapheneOS and now rely even more on my selfhosted services. Immich is such a great project. Still gotta figure out my music collection though, since switching from YT Music to Jellyfin. Most of it is sorted by date of purchase, because that worked best with my DJ workflow. Now I gotta bring it over to a folder structure that works for jellyfin. It seems like the answer is musicbrainz Picard, but I gotta figure out how to configure it.
Also been thinking about some AI ideas I'd like to try, but I have zero intention getting involved with openai, meta, google or whoever the fuck. So self hosting it is. But on what hardware? Option 1 seems to be to get some professional server board, CPU, ram and start with one RTX3090 and go from there with the option to hook up more GPUs. But a setup like that sounds like it would cost some serious money in electricity. Option 2 seems to be a Rzyen AI Max+ 395, configured with a fuckton of ram, available to the whole apu and as suchs usable for memory hungry models. This seems to be much much more power efficient. But its all integrated and I couldn't swap out components or upgrade in the future. Leaning towara option 2 atm, but maybe I'll just wait a bit longer and see what else comes up in the coming months.
Well, not too long ago there was a part of Germany where people learned Russian instead of English. The French just hate English I guess.
The Digital Silkroad is an interesting read, if you want to learn more about China's surveillance and data ambitions. Also covers Hikvision quite extensively.
Same boat for me, works great! I got the NFC Yubikeys which work fine with Android.
Did you, by any chance, ever wonder, why people deal with hunger instead of just eating cake?
Can you link me to what model you are talking about? I experimented with running some models on my server, but had a rather tough time without a GPU.
Shockingly, several things can be bad at the same time. What do you think will happen to places that already tend to struggle with heat (like quite a few places in the middle east), if they get even warmer? What will happen to the people that live there? Will they be able to move to colder places? Or will they simply run into borders? Borders, which are protected by more and more money and weapons (and drones controlled by AI, funny, huh?)?
Haha nope, they will of course blame Mexico and Canada in that case. Or the people who prefer to go there. I think they are completely immune to any thought about the consequences of their own actions.
My NAS encrypts my Backups and transfers them to some hetzner webspace on a server in Sweden. For email and day to day cloud usage I use mailbox.org. They are from Germany and put a focus on privacy and security, yearly payments are no problem.
I think you are missing the point I'm trying to make. Glorifying a system can never be the answer. It isn't for the US (as we can all prominently see right now) and it isn't for China. Or any system, country, whatever. There will always be drawbacks and things you won't know about. Keeping a critical eye on the status quo is the only way to develop a better future in any system. By just blindly praising it, it will turn sour at some point. The relatives you visited too will tell you about their daily troubles living within their system, if they have the feeling they can do that. Not american by the way. From a country that has a history of quite intense surveillance, if that gives you a hint. Maybe that's part of what makes me critical after seeing the billion electronic eyes of Shanghai. A system that afraid of it's own citizens can't be perfect.

Every night my NAS wakes up, fetches the data from my unraid server, backs it up and also sends an encrypted backup to a hetzner storage box on a server in a different country. Haven't had to use it yet, but in theory works fine. Should do some more regular testing though...
