Finally trying out #immich. So much faster than Synology photos and doesn't get jammed up like Nextcloud did. 1600 photos and videos uploaded in no time at all.
Just wish I could tier albums. Otherwise interface is great.
While planning my NAS build, I had a sobering realization. My "Bus Factor" at home is exactly 1.
I'm going to spend so much time securing my data against drive failures and hackers but what about my family? If something happens to me, my homelab becomes a digital tomb that no one has the keys to.
I dug up this repo I bookmarked a while ago: eol-dr (End of Life / Disaster Recovery). It’s basically a framework for documenting your digital life for your loved ones.

Configuring a RAID array is easy. Writing a "How to access our photos when I'm gone" guide is the hard part. Probably, the hardest. But it's arguably the most important backup you'll ever make.
Hope it'll be useful for somebody. Just make a star and take a look later when you feel it's a time.

I'm in love with the #HaikuOS "tab stacking" GUI - halfway between a tiling window manager's tabbed view and the ease of floating windows.
You can snap windows together and make their title bars behave like tabs.
And I dig the neo-retro BeOS look!
a little bit more context: I made a mistake, and wanted to make up for it by hurting myself and showing off my wounds. $actually-hurt-person called me out on that and showed how self-centered this was. further, when i wanted to go down spiralling feeling-shitty-for-feeling-shitty the person extended a hand and showed me, that even the feeling of guilt has its meaning, showing how much I do care.
That left me dumbfounded. Imagine me standing there with my mouth open. The person then excused themselves to mend their own wounds and told me to reflect.
And fuck. That hurt. All of it. Hurting someone but also the multiple call outs. Not accepting my self-flaggalation but still trusting that I will better. The grace to extend a helping hand even when I'm self-centered.
I definitely need some soul searching todo. But, in contrast to the usual aftermath, I don't feel shame. I don't even feel "bad" in that sense. I just notice that there's a big pile of good ol' emotions I need to work through but that there's someone, somewhere, watching me and trusting I'll manage it. And that's a rather positive feeling.
