Immich is so good. I love it

Off the shelf something like and EdgerouterX is great,

You could consider running Crowdsec as well on yr firewall that way known bots will be blocked

I love it

I love it, it’s so nice for quickly jumping between apps

Immich without a doubt

Works great with PIA, highly recommend

I run Dietpi on 3 PIs, one is a remote backup that is wireguarded into my network and my server runs BorgBackup to it

I run Openmediavault and I backup using BorgBackup. Super easy to setup, use, and modify

I think its a network thing, that one works fine for me but I have had intermittent problems with others

Do what you can to make this the place you want to be.

Nah it was lame, some people had good strategy but it came down to crappy challenges and crappy people

Anecdote time: I was just in Yorkshire (first time in England) heard about the idea of public footpaths so we found one, walked it and had a picnic. Loved every second, ended up going through a sheep field then a cow field. Can’t wait to go back

Yes 100% an option for both

Pretty much, strange in the self-hosted community to have stuff like that happen.

Wireguard is super quick and easy to setup and use, I’d highly recommend to do that now. I don’t understand the recent obsession with Tailscale apart from bypassing cgNAT

Plex Amp is by far the best
