Download all iCloud locally (for example as a zip)

  • Yes it sync’s a .HEIC and .MP4 file for each Live Photo.

    • What backup service do you use?

  • PhotoSync is a great one for downloading your photos library.

    https://apps.apple.com/app/id415850124

    I use it to sync my iCloud Photos to my local NAS for a peace of mind backup.

    For files - as the other person said just copy and paste from the folder on your desktop.

    • YSK: How to Budget

    Jump

  • If you're a bit on the techy side, take a look at plain text accounting.

    I'm not overly familiar with how things work financially in the U.S. for day-to-day things, but here in Australia, I run everything through my debit card, so at the end of the month, I import all my transactions into Hledger, allocate them to their appropriate expenditure account (i.e., food, gas, utilities, dining out, etc.) and then I can run a report on where my money has gone. I've been doing it over the past 2 years and it gives some really good insight.

    Although it's retrospective, it helps me understand what I'm spending my money on and can help forecast and budget.

    • Is it possible to host a private, defederated, and completely isolated instance for use as your own social media platform?

    Jump

  • Absolutely. Each server can be entirely standalone, you can just disable federation.

    • plex or Jellyfin?

    Jump

  • What's the name of that plugin?

    • Does a Lemmy instance require a domain name?

    Jump

  • I haven't dug into the protocol, but I'd imagine communication would be done over HTTPS, which requires a domain.

    • First-time self-hoster here. OS and DNS Questions

  • As others said - use Linux. It's the defacto server operating system. Windows is clunky and cumbersome. Microsoft even made .NET work across other operating systems, making hosting .NET apps on Linux a breeze.

    A super simple (and free) way of exposing your home server to the internet is to use Cloudflare tunnels. That way it doesn't matter what your IP is, traffic is routed through Cloudflare to your server and your IP is never exposed.

    Use Cloudflare for your DNS, and it will offer you additional protection on their free plan.

    • If these were your only choices, what would you do?

    Jump

  • Noodles + butter, what else do you need?

    • What do you think about cloud services such as iCloud? If you use one, would you recommend it?

    Jump

  • I have iCloud+ on a family plan. Gives me Apple TV, Music, Fitness and 2TB of storage. I use it to back up all my photos (with a process to back them up to my local NAS as well as additional cloud storage - AWS Glacier)

    I'm on a Mac all day and have an iPhone and iPad, so it works for me.

    Some alternatives might be cheaper, but the integrations are too good to pass up.

    • Do you have perticular reason for choosing Tailscale over ZeroTier or vice versa?

    Jump

  • Tailscale "just works". Since I've set it up I've never really thought about using anything else. Adding new devices is seamless.

    • Best alternative to selfhosting email? E.g. email hosting provider for a custom domain

    Jump

  • Seconded, I have an iCloud+ family plan so it was a no-brainer to use their mail. Setup was easy and it supports catch-alls.
