it is easy to have 1500+ passwords, I'm online since 1996 :-) and use a password manager like keepass, some sites died, others are still online, i have multiple mailbox, twitter, facebook. it goes up really fast!

not counting also all SSO with google, apple, and now my own pocketid selfhosted domain :-)

I will have to remove also those 50+ google authentificator TOTP and replace them with passkeys....

BTW, it is recommended to use single password per service sinces more than 20 years now, so without a password manager it is impossible to create new accounts. i started in firefox, then chrome password manager, then keepassX ....

I’m selfhosting most of my stuff now and did closed 500 accounts, still 960 to review. It take times but I always while closing enter a comment like “lost confidence in USA for the next 50 years thanks to Trump” BTW most services don’t let you delete your account, in this case I empty all my personal data, upload blank images for profile, anonymize field, move email to temp mailbox and delete my password.

I did some architecture and implementation to Azure for a big client, now moved to pure AKS with only OSS software, nest step for them is to quit US cloud, a lot easier if you use pure kubernetes.

I think it is good that we reduce our reliance on US stacks, but not at the cost of using Chinese softwares.

Deleting Reddit, instagram, facebook was really the easiest and most satisfying of all.

I plan to organize meetup on sovereignty, privacy and self hosting soon too 😇

my solution is not never have anything important on my computer, i have a dedicated gaming pc just for my flight simulator. And please just empty that damn mailbox, it is not a storage system for documents and it increase surface of attack if compromised. For the rest just air gap many backups of your most important data.

E.g. keeping your taxes report unencrypted at rest on disk is a dumb idea too or worst a copy of your ID documents.

yes as most service sleep, and time to spin them up is fast. Moreover some services continuously poll folders and avoid disks to sleep. Letting disks sleep the whole night is a good idea if not in use, this won't shorten their lifespan.

In here it is .30 pro Kwh

yes and no...

• Idle process are not cheap: some processes avoid all disks to sleep. .
• In Europe electricity is not cheap, a bit more than .30 euro/kwh

yeah i was also using hugo and free hosting with github pages, I recommend Hugo or Jekyl as you can host for free in a github repo.

but think twice, the internet is dying, people use social network 5 to 10h a day, dont read blogs and use AI chat more and more. A blog yes but maybe not public anymore, you feed tons of AI Bots and you compete against AI generated blog and avatar.

this page list a lot more issues https://www.waltercedric.com/posts/leaving/

Good luck!

40 containers behind traefik, but I did just add a new sablier middleware to stop when iddle and start when first requested. Electricity is not cheap for me. But i got lucky to add 64GB RAM in my NAS and 128GB Ram in Desktop last march before prices went crazy

Use xnview which is open source to detect and remove duplicates before importing in Immich. Immich can also detect duplicates but it would to have to create lots of thumbnails for nothing.

If a picture don’t trigger an emotion or you’re not on it, think that you could get it from internet in better quality.

Cleaning is important and will help to keep backup tidy.

I don’t like personally to import in Immich, I use external library. Yes a pain in the ass to make folders but if Immich disappear, I won’t be locked in there.

I went through many rss self hosted reader and now use commafeed, use java and quarkus and run beautifuly in docker, the client is web based and is responsive. In iOS i can’t tell it is not a native app.

No clarity on code status, seems not open source and author may want to charge later. I refuse to beta test for him and being forced to pay later for the privilege
