Gotta say, from what I've heard from the trenches, "insanity" and "madness" sound like fantastic names for printers or print servers, but the router also makes perfect sense! Lol

For my ProxMox server stuff I went with Lord of the Rings. The idea being the servers would be locations and the VMs would characters.

So right now my main server is Rivendell, and my PiHole on it is Gandalf ("You shall not pass!" Heehee eventually he'll have OPNSense too...)

If I get HomeAssistant at some point, obviously that'll be Samwise!

My Klipper VM for 3D printing is Celebrimbor, and the individual printers are named after various deities or myth figures of crafting/smithing/creativity like Brigid and Eitri.

For my client devices, I name my personal hardware after BattleTech mechs and that works well. It's intuitive because I can line up various roles and weight classes.

So my main desktop is Timberwolf, and my laptops are named after light mechs like Kitfox or Mistlynx.

Phones and tablets I don't really care about, they usually just name themselves after their model anyway. :)

This is the most solar punk answer ever! XD Love it. That's really neat. I struggle so much with naming schemes.

Lots of good responses here. That'd be a really scary find, OP, and I'm sorry you're dealing with that. :(

As much as I also long for justice, I also totally understand the inclination towards just nuking and paving the whole thing and moving on. Some factors that occurred to me:

• Those posting it might be outside your nation's jurisdiction.
• They might just be bots set loose by unknown actors.
• The above, plus they might be using "zombie" machines to bounce this material around unguarded servers wherever they can. It could be very difficult to ascertain who is behind this.

I agree with others that you should only move forward under the guidance of a good lawyer, because you don't want to be the most convenient potential suspect they have access to.

If you could log their IPs or other identifying data and anonymously forward suspicions to authorities that would take action on them, that could potentially be a viable option. But again I'd ask a lawyer.

I agree. (Digital artist here) I hate the Ai hype machine madness but also understand trying to find ways to make it ethical and useful to eliminate tedium. As it should be for in the first place.

In the tech sphere, they likely have to play along to stay relevant since everybody's all hyped about it.

How's this local LLM of yours? Does it tend to be more accurate than Recognize? It's integrated into Nextcloud?

Recognizing objects and people in pictures locally is one of the best uses I think. ...and maybe if it can stop auto-tagging random EDM songs as "country" or "rap" when they sound nothing like, I'd be excited about that!😂

Sounds like Syncthing for syncing and something like...is it... croc or Wormhole...? To drop files and send things.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding haha.

Yeah, anything that involves a bunch of ~~complicated relationship interaction between~~ PHP scripts I just don't mess with too much.

Right now I'm hosting it through Docker on top of OpenMediaVault which is hosted on Proxmox.

If an update absolutely borks NextCloud and for some reason its BorgBackup function doesn't work, I can at least hope to count on the ProxMox snapshot of the whole volume!

And besides that, I don't actually store anything essential in NextCloud's volume itself. It's all an external mount that I could browse with any file explorer, so worst case, I'd just lose a lot of convenience. :p

Wow, thanks for the heads up! I use Nextcloud AIO and backups take VERY long. I need to check about those logs!

Don't know if I'm just lucky or what, but it's been working really well for me and takes good care of itself for the most part. I'm a little shocked seeing so many complaints in this thread because elsewhere on the Internet that's the go-to method.

I'm a bit biased as I started with Jellyfin, but the Roku Jellyfin app works flawlessly on the family TV.

I'd advise at least becoming mildly familiar with how you'd go about it, since corpos suddenly rug-pulling existing users and forcing subscriptions is pretty common, basically expected, behavior of American business now.

That way you have an "out" and your service can have minimal downtime. :)

On the other hand, you might just find you like how sleek and functional Jellyfin is. I can only see wins for you here. :p

Hehe I think you might have been replying to a different thread. :)

It might be some way, however not easily. My mega-corpo ISP blocks incoming connections on common hosting ports, because they want to ~~keep the network safe~~ sell expensive home-business plans. Lol

I'm also very amateur at this as I go along, and I'm not sure I'm ready to deal with the fallout of missing some security step and getting my server botted or ransomwared lol.

I haven't done the hardware stuff with setting up my own router/firewall box either, for instance.

So Tailscale works really well for me by seemingly magically bypassing a lot of that nonsense and giving me less to worry about. They allow 3 users for free, but have a relatively inexpensive family plan for like 6 users as well, if that becomes necessary.

I mainly just need to tell them not to try and use my server as an exit node if they're across the country 😂.

But yeah definitely, I'm using this as a way to test the waters for running service alternatives as the web we knew collapses around us lol. I'm not ready to be running something people really rely on yet, though. :)

Thanks! This is very helpful! I really appreciate it! :D
