Looks like a good resource to read, thanks! As you may know there are a billion and one guides for doing the same thing across a plethora of systems, and even more variables in between. Appreciate your time.

The few times I do use curl, all I can think of is this sketch. Glad there are some TR fans here too 😁

As an incredibly forgetful neurotypical person with a partner who is on the spectrum, I cannot say how much I appreciate her and you.

I think for many people, whether they’re tinkerers or programmers or whoever, enjoy the freedom that comes with Arch.

Apps is short for Applications, which is another word for “programs” or “software.” You want to use a PC without any software??

Good stuff, glad it’s working out for you! I use CachyOS with KDE and I can get by pretty easy using Dolphin for most of my file needs. I do use the terminal quite a bit managing the Debian server running our friend group’s Minecraft server though!

I don’t mean to add to the discourse here or to keep giving you hypotheticals but, while learning to self host is fun and cool, you really do not want this thing on public Internet. Even if you can delete files to prevent uncouth things, what if someone uploads something while you’re asleep, or away from your computer? Do you have others monitoring the instance to take down CSAM or other illegal material? What if someone uploads malware and it executes on your machine? If you must leave it exposed, you should allow only family and friends to access via a strongly passworded account(I think that is configurable with copy party).

If you really want to expose services, try a media server like Plex or Jellyfin. You don’t want strangers to upload things to your machines.

I wouldn’t do any of that.

Alternatively, imagining arguments you could have, and coming up with responses in the shower.

There’s a car I see frequently near me that has 99/2=92 as a bumper sticker and I was so happy to see it.

Thanks for this info.

I specified locally hosted/managed because we’d like to avoid clouds and subscriptions. I don’t really want to divulge details but this is mostly for home security against a specific individual, and this person might be inclined to attempt logins into a cloud service. From my end I’d just set up a wireguard tunnel and us it to remote into some kind of server/NVR at my sister’s house.

I hadn’t heard of Tapo, and while TP-Link scares me a little, it looks like it could also be integrated into Home Assistant for viewing. Does the camera record over the first-recorded data when the SD Card gets full? Do you use the TP-Link/Tapo app for local management? Thanks for your response.

If another kind soul comes through with a good suggestion, I’ll try to remember to tag you! There’s got to be something out there.

That face is way too big to be Charlie’s!

personally, I chuckle at $MAN MAN

An excellent shit would be quick, easy, with a clean wipe.

The opposite would be explosive, painful, and messy. Hope this helps.

Hell yeah. Can I post my weird gnostic memes there?
