Just checking: have you also posted this on Reddit?

Lemmy is a much better platform from an ideological standpoint, but for your situation maybe increasing visibility is a bigger priority.

This was absolutely not the case back when I started using Linux back in 2007.

There’s been a lot of work put into the desktop Linux ecosystem by a many different organizations and individuals to get it to this point.

Linux phones are at the stage where you need to apply a custom kernel patch to get it to sleep/wake properly on your hardware, get the camera working, etc. It will also take a long time for desktop Linux apps to get responsive (i.e. offer a good experience with a small touch screen).

Yep. Tailscale uses wireguard under the hood so that setup sounds exactly the same.

The Cloudflare tunnel is free. They don’t seem to have a traffic cap either. They’ll charge you if you want to use a non apex domain (e.g. subdomain) or if you need their more advanced bot detection/defense products. But a basic/standard setup like what us self hosters have is free.

Yes, and yes.

Their Android app feels like an exact clone of the Google Photos Android app.

To access it remotely, you can use Tailscale like someone else mentioned. But you need to have Tailscale installed on everyone’s phones.

You can also use a Cloudflare Tunnel to allow it to be accessed over the Internet without exposing anything from your home network directly to the Internet.

The latter is useful when I want to share a secret link to a photo album after hanging out with people so everybody can upload the photos they took to one place (something I used to do a lot with Google Photos)

Does everything Google photos does. Their app looks/feels exactly Google’s app, including sharing links. Assuming you’re running it on reasonably powerful hardware, it does all the same face recognition and ML based search that Google photos does.

It will if you explicitly ask it to. Otherwise it will either make stuff up or use some really outdated patterns.

I usually start by asking Claude code to search the Internet for current best practices of whatever framework. Then if I ask it to build something using that framework while that summary is in the context window, it’ll actually follow it

Not to derail your point, but growing up in Australia, we would mostly use kW. Like, it’s a 200kw engine instead of saying a 270hp engine.

Eh, the world is a lot more dependent on air travel than we were in the 80s. I don’t think Trump will be able to do the same

Perhaps very late to your second minimum wage job (that you really need to barely make your family’s rent) where they have a habit of letting people go at the drop of a hat while being blasted in social media about how hard it is to find a job right now.

Eh, Microsoft actually has enough money in the bank to prevent layoffs. They’re doing them on purpose to raise the stock price.

In Australia, that model costs $28k USD brand new!

I think it’s a jab at Postman, which is essentially curl with a GUI.

Has all the same features, without the subscription or cloud account

That’s going to become more and more difficult to do over time.

Cars are being designed to be difficult to repair and to fall apart in less and less time.

TBH, I’ve never used any of those features. I just used it locally and plugged it into home assistant.

But I just reinstalled their app and can confirm I can watch the feed and get push notifications without a cloud account. Haven’t tried email tho

Obligatory

Oh wow their front page doesn’t mention at all that their products run locally and don’t require subscriptions.

I wonder if it passed.

I understand I have the Internet at my disposal, but I’m almost done pooping so I guess I’ll never know…

At a sea world??!!
