    This is exactly why I’d want a GPU in a home server.

    That and transcoding. Wonder what the best option would be without breaking the bank/wasting too much idle power. All the GPU talk online seems to be for gaming.

    AFAIK intel arc gpus are pretty good for that.

      IIRC immich is like a google photos replacement. I use nextcloud for that on android but it's not so simple on ios. How's immich for ios, do uploads work automatically in the background? How's performance?

      Background backup works mostly ok. There are times where I need to go to the backup view for it to get going, but those are not that common. The performance is excellent so far

        I think everybody on here is constantly keeping an eye out for what to host next. Sometimes you spinup something which chugs along nicely but sometimes you find out you've been missing out.

        For me it's not very refreshing or new: Paperless-ngx. Never thought I would add all my administration to it. But it's great. I probably can't find the thing I need, but I should have a record of every mail or letter I've gotten.
        Close second is Wanderer. But I would like to have a little bit more features like adding recorded routes to view speed and compare with previous walks. But that's not what it is intended for.

        What is that service for you?

            I think there one I never expected would be Kitchenowl. Shopping list, recipe list, planner for food, expenses... very useful for a joined household.

              It's very accessible with a reverse proxy. Just please be secure if you choose to do so. It's been a wonderful piece of software and i will be paying for the lifetime server license this weekend.

              Done and done. I just took a screenshot, ctrl+v'd it right in the same browser tab and then went to my phone and hit reply on this post and attached the image. Its the best desktop -> mobile experience Ive used in a long time. It just works once you get it going. I pass through the igpu of a proxmox host into the VM and aside from some earlier compatibility issues (I think its mostly on my end, GVT-v, i915 and a bungled original grub config) the ML has been crash free for almost a year. Ive had 0 uptime issues (now that i only pull monthly) and I was smart with my initial compose script and everything is external. mountpoints are external, all the storage is over 10g to a truenas box.

                Recipe manager and meal planner which can pull recipes from the web. I started using it after a few recipes on sites disappeared. My families most used app (besides plex).

                I havent done much with it other than get all our paper recipes into it and added some via import. I am looking forward to it as its my next project now that photos are done.

                  I'm still not sure that filter thing is necessary. FreshRSS can fetch content and images using the CSS selector of the website.
                  You may want to check out the Advanced section in their documentation: https://freshrss.github.io/FreshRSS/en/users/04_Subscriptions.html#retrieve-a-truncated-feed-from-within-freshrss

                  Anyway, whatever works for you 🙂

                        The easiest thing: We use a motion sensor to automatically turn on the light for the stairs. You wouldn't need Home Assistant for that, but with a little more configuration you can adjust the light levels and colour temperature based on the time of day (not as disturbing at night). We have two rooms which have problems with humidity in one a fan is automatically turned on (basic) in the other a dehumidifier is triggered based on the outside and inside temperature because there are large windows which are producing a lot of condensation otherwise. Now the really specific stuff: My daughter has Diabetes and we need to manage her blood glucose levels. There are alarms but ideally you would act before they are triggered. So we hooked her blood glucose levels to a light in our bedroom which turns on at night if her levels are getting out of bounds at night. That way she isn't woken by the alarm, but by one of us and can go back to sleep mich quicker.

                        Damned, I have to say that the glucose surveillance is quiet impressive, and the outcome is both unexpected and so sweet !
                        And shows how much can be done.

                          I'm really fond of readeck. After being dissapointed with Pocket and Wallabag, I went with omnivore until they pulled a skiff. Out of all the FOSS read-it-later solutions - it was a very even tie between Shiori and readeck, and I went with the latter since it supports highlights.

                          I'm hosting it also, and the only regret is no android app, so don't appear as a "share" possibility. But definitly perfect on PC browser 🙂

                            Kavita for my ebook collection—mostly tabletop RPGs, but some comics and sci fi as well.

                            I don’t actually use the web interface that often. I add books to my Kavita library, then scan the OPDS feed into my scratch-my-own-itch mobile app, Bookoscope, and download whatever I want to read onto my tablet from there.

                            Side note, PDFs are the absolute worst. Even reading them on a full-sized tablet is incredibly annoying. Anybody have any tips/tricks/apps for that?

                            Try KOReader. It's mainly for e-ink devices (initially, Kobo devices) but it handles PDFs better than most applications and gives you various options to address them.

                            It's still not going to do miracles on smaller screens like phones, but I use a Kobo tablet/ereader and it works very well there.

                              Watch out to enable "keep on delete" features. I didn't do that and didn't see that gigabytes of personal photos got deleted which I had to recover from an old backup. Still don't know how it happened as I only found out a few weeks after the fact.

                              Sync is not backup! If there's a software bug or a wrong setting sync can delete your files. Syncthing is pretty mature so I doubt this was a Syncthing bug, however you shouldn't only trust Syncthing. I'm doing btrfs snapshots weekly and delete them after three years for important folders nowadays.

                              Also the "auto normalize" option (true by default and only shown in advanced settings) can mess-up with your source files. Mouting source files read-only won't work either as it is creating files in source folders.

                                    I've been using it for almost a year by now, and so far I didn't have any problems. I've not considered that problem though, so it might be happening and I was just lucky.

                                      Once in a while discord signs me out and I have to do a bunch of extra sign-in steps on the official client. But otherwise I have discord, WhatsApp, Google voice, Google chat, Google messages (sms), Facebook, telegram, signal.

                                      All the mautrix bridges are will made and robust

                                          Thanks, but I mean how did you set up the external client for it? Did you have a spare phone to use, or did you set up an Android VM?
