Got a buddy that has essentially the same story as you… he’s now running Linux as a primary and jellyfin + like 10 other containers in docker.

This time last year he was a Windows guy because he was scared of Linux.

Fast forward to ai being a thing and he’s all about it.

Ai has absolutely made it easier for folks to transition into Linux.

Hell I’ve been on it for like 20 years at this point and I still run into stuff I’ve not seen before. So I use it when ever I need to do so.

Handy.

Damn it.

Gotta use chrome at work.

Firefox “isn’t secure and isn’t supported” - my it director

Yep. My toddler hit the starlink button recently. Absolutely killed my outback.

Crazy the bull shit I had to do to start it again.

You know… it’s hilarious you say that about staying on top of your selfhosted stuff.

I learned that lesson not too long ago… I am self-hosting ubiquitys unifi network application.

Apparently two years ago they split out the database from the app.

I had no idea until my wifi abruptly stopped working. Haha

Now I pay attention to that stuff a little more.

Lmao

Haha I had a much harder time with the compose formatting than I did with the actual upgrade.

Line

Or

Line.?

Either way fuck you compose. Haha

I’m super basic backup wise.

I run a rsync command that backs up the database dump and all the immich assets to a USB hdd. I do that every couple of days or when I think about it haha

I then back that USB drive up to another USB drive on my personal computer.

These drives are wd Reds and in USB enclosure.

My buddy has offered to host a off site backup but I have a toddler and as such 0 time.

I probably should look into some cold storage or something but shits expensive these days and I’m currently satisfied with where I am.

Knocks on wood

Additional context… I’m running Debian with mergerfs across like 8 drives. So my photos are spread across several drives in my /storage/photos folder. So In oder to lose everything all at once. It would have to be a flood or house fire or something…

I just moved from v2 immich to v3.

Literally changed the version in my env file and then deleted all docker images.

I then pulled all images and brought all containers online.

0 issues.

Immich has been running really well for us on my n100 for 10 months now. I did dual Google photos and immich for a 3 months and then exported out from gphotos.

I started 2026 with immich only. Been rock solid the entire time.

Of course that’s all anecdotal and ymmv. But immich is fantastic

Unreal

The original one. Not tournament.

I have a fear of sentient silver metallic blobs because of that game. Lol

Yeah agreed. One of the great things about the outback is there’s a DIY group around it. So there’s a lot of YouTube videos out there on car maintenance and upgrades etc So that kind of where I’m at with it these days too

I have a 2016 outback. No android auto… But I’m in the same boat. Backup camera. Sensors self driving no wifi no forced updates. Etc.

I don’t need anything more.

Ah yeah that makes sense.

Got banned from some subs once because the editing software I was using to sanitize and delete my account hadn’t yet removed an edited comment.

Mod quoted it. Sent it to me and said this makes no sense. Banned.

The comment being edited was 4 years old.

Lmfao

Idiot mods gonna idiot.

Haha I wish it was owe. Autocorrect brought forth my hopes and dreams there apparently. Lol

Thanks for the heads-up tho.

Fabric.com they did the same thing with.

Now you can’t buy fabric by the yard hardly anywhere.

Joanne’s filed for bankruptcy and then closed, Michael’s has it sometimes, hobby lobby… they’ll take your money and make sure you’re gay cousin can’t get married…

The mom and pop fabric stores are dead…

I guess we’ll own nothing and be happy about it

Edit. Damn you autocorrect! Edit2. Clarity

I’m the same way I’ll look up a product… When it’s obviously an import… I’ll just go to AliExpress and get it there.

The time savings isn’t worth the additional price imho

Plexamp - Nah they made it free for everyone a while back… the sonic analysis aspect is gare kept behind the pass. Iirc But I’m a lifetime pass holder for like a bazillion years … I think my annual average cost is like $4 at this point lol

Wg-easy - truth be told I just started it up this week. I formatted my phone and wanted to try something else for wire guard. But you are correct wire guard is pretty darn easy.

I’m running:

• Easy wire guard - https://github.com/wg-easy/wg-easy
• Plex - plexamp is fabulous for music
• Portainer
• Immich
• Arrs - prowlarr - sonarr - radarr - lidarr
• Cloudflared - for tunneling via cloud flare

I have pihole on a pi for DNS.

Haha I figured. I love that gas station. They have (or had) great milk. Lol

East Tennessee person?

I used the cli for immich to import mine.
