My main storage is a mirrored pair of HDD. Versioning is handled here.

It Syncthings an "important" folder to a local back up only 1 HDD.

The local Backup Syncthings to my parents house with 1 SSD.

My setup can be better, if I put the versioning on my local backup it'd free space on my main storage. I could migrate to a dedicated backup software, Borg maybe, over syncthing. But Syncthing I knew and understood when I was slapdashing this together. It's a problem for future me.

I've been seriously considering an Elitedesk G4 or Dell/Lenovo equivalent as back up machines. Mirrored drives. Enough oomph to HA the things using the "important" files: immich paperless etc.

My big problem is remote stuff. None of my users have aftermarket routers to easily manipulate their DNS. One has an android modem thing which is hot garbage. I'm using a combination of making their pi be their DHCP and one user is running on avahi.

Chrome, the people's browser of choice, really, really hates http so I'm putting them on my garbage ######.xyz domain. I had plans to one day deal with Https, just not this day. Locally I just use the domain for vaultwarden so the domain didn't matter. But if people are going to be using it then I'll have to get a more memorable one.

System updates have been a faff. I'm 'ssh'ing over tailscale. When tailscale updates it kicks me out, naturally. Which interrupts the session, naturally. Which stops the update, naturally. Also, it fucks up dkpg beyond what --configure -a can repair. I'll learn to update in background one day, or include tailscale in the unattended-upgrades. Honestly, I should put everything into unattended-upgrades.

Locally works as intended though, so that's nice. Everything also works for my fiancee and I remotely all as intended, which is also nice. My big project is coalescing what I've got into something rational. I'm on the make it good part of the "make it work > make it good" cycle.

The Curry Guy has a recepie as jumping off point. I don't know about local brands to you, but Patak's is a staple here, their hot lime pickle is what got me onto the concept. I still get a jar every now and then, but the flavours are the intense kind that I get bored of and forget about, till the jar goes moldy.

So when I buy one, I kinda force myself through the last third. On bread, off a spoon, on pasta, some ungodly creations I swear.

Lime pickles. They're delicious, I can't get through a jar on my own but I'll get no help.

In that case. Homarr is awesome, no complaints.

I probably won't retroact this, my family aren't going to explore and it was more to keep them on their specific homepage and stop them getting lost. New users will be locked to their specific page, I don't expect they'll ever go exploring to find out.

+1 for Homarr. I didn't need to learn how to write any configs. Everything can be setup in realtime, in the GUI, and is immediately testable. Homarr brought a homepage down to my skill level.

My only wish is to lock homepages behind user permissions but it's fine, my family friends don't intend to explore, just to get to where they're going.

Butter chicken is a freezer staple in our house. Everything into a multi-cooker (except dairy), cook, add dairy, jar it up, and freeze. Delicious batch cooking

Yeah, I can understand that, I empathise with the frustration. We're good.

Can we calm down a little, you don't need to be so combative.

Those are my words, and that was your inference. "you" was referring to citizens of the United states. I could have made that more clear. I am sorry for that, I can be a not so great communicator at times. You can apologise for calling me a liar now.

With that little distraction dealt with can we discuss the topic civilly? Maybe, we can assume each other are rational human beings, that want similar things, and aren't out to accuse each other of random shit? Please?

I don't know what to tell you, I'm not Burt Reynolds. You just accuse people of things whether they’re true or not. I’m not sure why you think it’s okay to lie.

I didn't accuse you of being a democrat, you just inferred that I did and started calling me a liar. Would you like to get back on topic?

Are you claiming I am a millionaire? Can you present some evidence to that effect? If you're gonna tilt at windmills this conversation is pointless.
