Nextcloud certainly can be a cumbersome beast. I’m glad it’s the second thing I chose to selfhost instead of something much later on. Gave me a chance to get my feet wet with it. I’m a big fan, but I think if I’d started with smaller services I’d be upset about the breadth of the project. It is absolutely trying to do everything it can, which can be good or bad depending on your use case.

<political> Immich is made by futo, an org who just donated a couple mil to a fash dev to maintain some vibecoded post install scripts. Nextcloud does everything Immich does through some extensions available in their marketplace. Don’t support fash soft. Use eurojank instead! <\political>

I think I’m gonna move the goalpost on my life goals a bit.

New Life goal: Have more started projects than projects relegated to the ideas drawer.

I’d recommend ddrescue over dd for optical media backups only because if you’ve got bad blocks it will try them again at a different speed/angle

I’m not educated enough to have an opinion that goes beyond what I like to type. I find C style to be the nicest.

Gershwin’s wiki and git repo list the ghostbsd variant as outdated, but in my experience it is also the only one that works out of the box.

I’d like to see this with Gershwin DE on top. They feel made for each other.

I’m relearning arduino!

I’ve got a couple 382p’s laying around and wanna build an RTOS for them, eventually drive a CYD to interface with them.

End goal: Affordable offline-first PDA.
