Smart! Since posting my answer, I've been looking at it and I was planning in doing just that or something similar. I already upload my photos to Nextcloud just as a backup mechanism without the Photos app installed. I could easily set this up tonight to test. Thanks for the tip!

Same person answering from Lemmy because character limit.

I don't know much about digiKam, but looking at it got me interested in checking it out! One problem I have with Immich is that there is really good Android integration with its app, but poor Desktop integration (I use a web app).

For Immich, I suppose you could mount an external library and use that same folder for digiKam. Immich will store its own set of files in its data structure for the external library, not the pictures just it's own metadata as I understand it. Any changes will be reflected in Immich after a library scan. (I will be trying this option soon.😁)

You could do the same with Nextcloud by just mounting the Nextcloud drive and setting its photos folder as the folder for digiKam, I suppose. You would be losing out mainly on Android integration with the Immich app. I can't whatever the opposite of recommend the Nextcloud options enough.

Pretty much. There is good sense in teaching a standard to ensure communication is possible, but language can and does evolve. We should allow the changes to happen and document them for future language nerds.

I pay for YouTube and use FreeTube and NewPipe. I try to pay for whatever services I use. I think this is the way, either pay or let the ads play. I do this because the YouTube app is trash for many reasons mostly having to do with trying to funnel me to the money making bits.

There are greedy corporations making the user experience worse and doing everything they can to wring every penny they can. Ultimately, I attribute this to the wall street investor model. A company can be making money and still be losing because their revenues shrank from the prior quarter. That is a broken system that will only eat itself. That being said, people gotta eat and that includes the janitors, etc.. at Google.

Point is, its a mixed bag. There are people on the other end making the product you are using, AND there is a soul sucking company making it worse for both their customers and their workers/creators. To be clear, there is something to be said about how poorly Google supports their creators. In many ways, they are taking advantage of the creators that use their platform. How is it that Google is making so much money in ads, but creators have to open Patreons?

I still don't think we should just expect stuff for free.

Tangentially, I need to be better about helping support the open source projects I use, especially the smaller maintainers, to be honest, but I do send to a few and I encourage everyone to do so as well as much as they can.

This is the way.

There is only one VW factory in the US.

Same. We are allowed to carry knives in to work so I carry a work knife in and it never sets the thing off, but my laptop in my backpack does every single day.

Does going on the internet to insult people make you feel better? Maybe if you didn't try to separate people out into camps and assign negative or positive qualities to those groups based on nothing more than your own ideological bent, but instead had a little chat with people like they were people you would be a little happier. Like, you know, on the inside.

Regardless, I'd like to see the "real data" that says that the assertions of the person to whom you are responding were incorrect. That would be an interesting read.

You're probably right. I mean. I need most of the network devices, and I didn't list everything I am running on each, just big things. I do need to consolidate some if them though. Its been a trip and has made me a better IT though.

Thank you. Sounds exactly like what I'm planning. I am looking at ISPMail now and will be attempting to follow the directions soonly.

Why move to ISPMail over Mailinabox or Modoba or some other alternative?

Thank you! I appreciate it.

Nope. No issues whatsoever. DigitalOcean is great. Just curious what this community thought. My main concern is, again, one of choosing as ethical a solution as I can find. I cited Amazon because they are a nightmare company for many reasons and would rather not give them money. With that said, I would also like a service that I can rely on.

I am thinking about proton mail, but I want to try to host an email sever with one of my cheap throwaway domains to see if it would be worth self hosting for my main domain. That's the other part of why I am choosing to self host. I am genuinely curious how stuff works under the hood.

Thank you! I'll check it out.

Not sure you do. Maybe you can use one to move the existing files on Nextcloid, but immich has an auto upload feature that works perfectly fine on their android app.

I run both, and I do not upload pictures to Nextcloud. I know it doesn't solve your problem about a Nextcloud instance already running with the photos, but I highly recommend moving over to immich for your photos needs and using it's file structure. I.E. reuploading the files and deleting them from Nextcloud. If someone does have a better way to do it, I could have used it a few months ago, lol.

Your reason to move from OMV is the same as mine for XCP-ng. It is supposed to be a better hypervisor, but I just did not like the UI at all. It doesn't help that you have to host a small VM just to have a webGUI.

For the hypervisor I recommend either Proxmox or XCP-ng. XCP-ng is technically a better hypervisor, but I personally use Proxmox because I like the UI.

For the NAS OS, I use and recommend TrueNAS Scale. You can run Docker containers on it. All this being said, I've never used Unsaid so I don't know how they compare.

Out of curiosity, why move from OMV? I was thinking about trying it out for a second NAS.

In all fairness, I do think there is something to be said for rampant military spending. Big defense contractors could be doing what they do for a fraction of the cost. The doesn't mean eliminating the military. I'm not even sure who's down voting me either. I'm like, "We should have both a military and a safety net" and everyone gets mad for different reasons I guess. One because I want a military and the other because I think homelessness shouldn't exist. We have the resources. For example, in my downtown area there are a slew of "abandoned' buildings still in good repair. Why aren't we using those buildings for housing?
