Just reading through the steps there is a lot to get set up and sharing. You may need to consider simplification to on board more people. Looks like it could be put into a Docker container for setup. Did you want a hand with that?

Agree - better safe to not risk it when crossing borders. Even if you don’t have anything incriminating your identity can be stolen and used.

I know both Australia and UK have laws that allow border to take and copy your phones, laptops and storage devices. It’s not unusual.

For your media server setup.

Also this is a nice shopping list

Digital ocean also offers a bunch of guides from securing VMs to seeing up we servers.

Pretty sure GOG also remastered them.

I prefer Zulip but because we have Teams we use teams.

It’s the worst and has been running like total crap for years. Even Skype for business worked better. Luckily it is better than Cisco Jabber or Webex.

Paul Allen had no kids so you could just say one of Bill Gates’ daughters.

Ubuntu server is pretty user friendly and has more frequent updates op. Plenty of info out there. My preference is uninstall snaps.

I can’t recommend unifi more. I moved into the ecosystem about 10 years ago with a USG and AP.

I run UCG with 3 WiFi APs at home and about 100+ devices, Inc 4 servers and 2 NAS.

Never have issues and it keeps up to date.

I have a separate WiFi for the guest house that is isolated and speed limited.

For a while I ran a controller to manage my home and my parent’s farm network, they have a Starlink into Express with 2 U6LR and loco wireless bridge to cover 1KM of farmland with pretty impressive speed WiFi.

I typically take an express on holidays with me now which vpns home to keep our lan where we go, I just need hotel LAN for the WAN.

I use tdarr to recode to h264 for compatibility. But most apps or devices have the codecs.

It should only be a real issue if you use surveillance station or Synology photos.

Nothing stopping you installing frigate.

Pretty neat. I think its a really nice looking app and helps navigating the database much nicer. I think what is missing for me is some of the power of applications like dbeaver where you can run queries as you go and easily hop between databases.

Also mouse wheel scrolls page not zoom which I think would be better. Definitely will use this next time I build a db in parallel with dbeaver.

I’ll be installing this tonight to give it a go beside dbeaver

If you don’t need the cicd stuff, Forjejo instances are really easy to spin up or use the ones online like codeberg.

I use dbeaver on ubuntu and windows.

If people leave to run their own piracy lemmy depending on where they host it they will probably get raided and have no lemmy.

The commenter obviously don’t understand that at lemmy.world it hosts copies of content outside its instance which is why you block communities if you don’t defend the whole instance.
