But there are dozens of people in this very thread who if I am understanding correctly are willing to offer the same service for free to prove their point that Plex is evil.

ok

idk I find $2/month to be very reasonable. I don’t feel squeezed.

EDIT: Just to be clear there is no amount of condescending replies form trilby wearing neckbeard keyboard warriors that will change my opinion.

I know it’s fashionable to shit on Plex here, but OP either has his server misconfigured or is just trying to stir the pot:

https://support.plex.tv/articles/202526943-plex-free-vs-paid/

Free to Use: Video (movies & TV) streaming of personal content on the same local network as the Plex Media Server

Also the weekly intentionally misunderstanding how Plex pass/Plex remote pass works in order to complain:

Free to Use: Video (movies & TV) streaming of personal content on the same local network as the Plex Media Server

Problem with that is there is no backup in case of flood/fire/tornado etc.

Anyone know of a good managed hosting (or vps) for Immich that doesn’t break the bank? I have about 5TB of photos/videos and I don’t feel safe without a remote backup. I played with self hosting and I really (really) like Immich but I keep Google photos/Drive just to ensure I won’t lose anything.

Hm I like that idea. That’s a bit out of my wheelhouse but worth looking into. Maybe also have two zones? A larger one to trigger the location update?

Hmm my phone always takes a few minutes to update that I’m home.

Ah ok thanks, so just to be clear, when you come home it will still “alert” you to an “intruder” (until your GPS updates presumably).

Pretty sure this article is AI slop. I just checked the subreddit, and it consists of 100% “critical” posts going back days.

That’s cool, so with the AI chip it can recognize individuals people and pets? Just wondering how you prevent it from alerting you for well, you.

Last I looked into this Frigate was the most robust path to take, they recommend cameras that are about $50-$100 each but in my playing around I connected a Yi camera ($10) with custom firmware.

That said it was all a bit over my head and I had trouble connecting it to home assistant and gave up

I would love a follow up post with whatever setup you go with!

bluesky is a for profit company: https://bsky.social/about/blog/2-7-2022-overview

Bluesky is centralized and for profit.

It’s “open” in the same way that cryptocurrencies are “open”. It doesn’t matter how technically decentralized the power structure is when someone owns more than 99% of the tokens.

There is hard evidence that BlueSky’s users are centralized on a single instance: https://arewedecentralizedyet.online/

There is hard evidence that the word “centralized” means “cluster around a center”: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/centralize

BlueSky is a for profit company was started by Jack Dorsey, a cryptocurrency booster. The the CEO of BlueSky has a background in crypto.

Cryptocurrency also claims to be “technically decentralized” while missing the point of while actual, real, decentralization is important for social media. When someone owns 99% of a token, the power is concentrated there.

Bluesky is centralized and for profit. The company is lying to you. There is no need to “work together” with someone who is lying to you.

No, you can’t. You can have a custom domain (“PDS” is the term they invented for this) but it still relies on bluesky’s servers.

Don’t let them distract with with the “whattabout matrix”. The Matrix Foundation is not a social media company, and furthermore it’s a nonprofit.

Bluesky is not decentralized.

You are correct. The term is called “openwashing”. Now and then bluesky employees cultists will come on Lemmy and mastodon and try to LARP that their for-profit company has our best interests in mind.
