What we did in my dads house was just to repurpouse old wifi routers as access points and put them everywhere where there was no coverage. But we pulled Ethernet all the way to each of them. Then we put the same SSID and password so everything would just switch to the one with the atrongest signal automatically.

I have a raspberry pie with Home assistant on it and I run Nginx Proxy Manager on it. It does the whole HTTPS thing and exposes specific services from my internal network for easy access for me and my family.

I only use Jellyfin because we want to watch it on the TV and not on the laptop.

Radicals is an amazing software but I also struggled to understand the concept at first, the documentation assumes you know so much already, which you normally don’t. But once you get through the initial hurdle it’s really reliable and uses minimal resources.

But about the videos and photos I think you’re a bit wrong, I still rewatch my dads home videos from the 90’s

I moved to https://mxroute.com/ and payed $15 for three years of hosting because they had some promotion.

Yeah, actually once I realized how much they have I turned it off in panic first, but then I realized, turning it off only disallowes me access to it, they still have it, so I turned it back on.

OK, I didn’t read the full text but I saw self-hostable alternative to Google Timeline and Hona Assistant and I’m sold!

Google timeline once genuenly helped me get my Swedish citizenship, but it also freaked me out how much data Google had about me.

I had to write down when I left the country and when I came back for the last 5 years or so, and without timeline it would not been possible because during that time I traveled abroad at least twice a Mont for a year.

Anyway it sounds very cool especially because I’m already having Home assistant set up for this but it doesn’t have this timeline functionality.

Oh, there is still some Lemmy link somewhere? I’m trying to find it but couldn’t, where did you see it?

I’m not allowing random people hosting their git repos on mine but it’s public and they can fork my own stuff on it in theoretically upload some bullshit.
