Gotta be fair to the genocide force of course.

Like they’re not an ethnic group or comprised of innocents. This is a force whose express intent is genocide and displacement.

BTRBK for easy BTRFS snapshots to an external drive.

Rsync to also upload those to B2 compatible storage (encrypted)

It feels more tech-geeky leftist and less AITA fantasy text/AI generated nonsense spam driven

But still pretty similar otherwise

They didn’t say Iran was going to singlehandedly do it

First question is - are you familiar with Linux command line at all? If not get familiar with it first.

Second you’ll need to own or buy a domain and point it to the server’s IP.

Then install either Ubuntu Server or Debian on the server, setup SSH and run this Ansible project - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible

If that’s not comprehensible to you, I’d really recommend getting more familiar with Linux command line and servers before I’d recommend starting a Lemmy instance.

Donate to devs. Donate to your instance. Post. Comment. Be active.

Any of them rich enough to vacation in the Maldives are rich enough to have left and divested of the place

Okay can we at least get him out of jail? Why bother answering if your answer will be so stupid.

Just don’t take the boxes with you. You came over with all that capiche?

5 minutes to NYSE bloodbath

They were never defending anything. Their victims just decided to fight back.

Most Americans don’t think about other countries enough to really grasp what you mean by rogue state

You can typically replace the battery inside the UPS (and should every few years). Looking at $40-50USD for “official” replacements, less for questionable third party ones.

Because as a headless server it’s likely to sit hidden for a long time. This and the always being plugged in is not good for lithium-ion batteries. If/when it starts ballooning will you notice? It’s a fire risk.

UPSes use typically lead-acid batteries like a car.

Heck yeah. Not always the best for power efficiency though.

Old laptops also a great choice but I really recommend removing the battery first.

I just have a script that checks my IP every few minutes and changes the DNS record as necessary

I’m not looking to become a sysadmin

And that’s fine and understandable. But I don’t think that Immich is for you. It’s not consumer-grade software. It’s a piece of Linux server software that requires occasional maintenance and administration. We haven’t seen a breaking update in a while but Immich does occasionally release updates where things will break if you don’t dig in to the config files and reconfigure it.

If you’re self hosting then you could just copy all the files from your server onto an external drive. I have to say that’s not a great backup solution though, and you should learn more about administration of Linux servers so that when things break you can fix them. I wouldn’t rely on it as a safe solution to your photos otherwise.

Are you paying for Immich somewhere? Then you’d have to trust the administrator to back your data up. I had assumed you were self hosting and by managed services I meant like Google Photos, or indeed someone else’s Immich setup.

You should have a backup solution for your server that should cover this, without that you should probably stick with managed photo backup services.
