I’ve setup Nextcloud on Hetzner, and have ordered a mini PC to run Immich and experiment with.

Still trying to decide on a good cheap email host that I can also move my family on to eventually.

Thank you this is very useful, and sounds like a good start. I’ll look into this. Cash isn’t that tight, so I’ll prioritise it being compact and a bit more future proof over doing it cheaply

Synology aren’t Open-Source so that’s a deal breaker for me.

One of the main reasons I’m getting into homelabs etc. Is to take back control of my software and data.

If Synology decides to lock away features behind a pay wall they can.

TrueNAS sounds like the way to go for me, I’m just clueless what hardware would best fit my needs.

It used to be true that Windows is better for gaming. That’s no longer the case.

Since steam deck runs on Linux, they made a compatibility layer allowing you to play windows games on Linux.

I switched to Linux a few months ago and have been able to play all my games just fine.

(also dual boot is an option)

I still don’t see how the US can stop anyone from forking Debian etc.

Worst case scenario I can see is “The US implements martial law, no more trade what so ever allowed with anyone outside of the US and they put up a fire-wall to block all internet”

In that scenario we literally just pull Debian from the European mirrors, fork it and create NewDebian.

Problem solved.

Currently we heavily rely on Microsoft, Apple etc. If the US does the same thing, we’re fucked because we can’t just fork MS or Apple software.

They’ll stop receiving updates, but we don’t have to switch over in a week right?

Ubuntu is just an example {{insert any Debian based distro here}}

Debian is open source though. So unless they make it closed source we can keep using it.

Making it closed source would probably kill it and a fork would take its place.

Can’t we just keep going with Ubuntu and fork it the moment the US wants to do anything funny

You sound very confident for someone who clearly hasn’t even seen half the trains Europe has to offer.

It’s like confidently saying you Ford Fiesta is the best car in the world, but you’ve never even seen a Mercedes C63 AMG.

I’m starting to think you’re just trolling at this point either that or you’re extremely dense

Based on what do you think it’s safe to say that?

Have you seen the trains in the Netherlands?

We already have kDrive you get 1TB storage for only 2€ a month, it’s based in Switzerland

Selling my old car couldn’t even buy me a house, so now I bought a Bugatti

Historically liberals have always been right and eventually won.

Got rid of slavery. Got women’s rights. Got Gay rights. Etc.

This!!

I suck at most of my hobbies, but half the fun is learning and improving

Currently I’m just using CF as a tunnel so that I can reach my server through eg. immich.mydomain.com anywhere in the world. The issue I’m running into is Large files fail (they have file size limits)

In a lot of developed countries the employer can claim back money from the government when a employee takes maternity leave or sick leave.

That way companies don’t really have a reason to discriminate based on if you might get pregnant etc.
