Thanks that makes sense

I’m not sure that’s true to say it “steps away” because you can go to tailscale.com (on a machine that’s not connected to the tailnet) and log into the console and see all the machines and change their settings if you want, so clearly something is routing through their servers and actions taken on their servers are able to influence the machines.

I’m not an expert here clearly, just going on my own observations.

What about Tailscale, can they see http traffic over my Tailscale connection?

I looked into that but unless I’m mistaken, KopiaUI is not a docker app

Thanks, the plan is to give her a hard drive and USB enclosure. I’ll check out SFTPGo, are there any docker apps that serve as an easy S3 bucket?

EDIT: SFTPGo looks great I just tested it out and it’s very simple, thanks for the recommendation!

Docker so it should be OS-independent, right?

Also I’m not looking to upload I’m looking for the docker app my friend installs to receive my backups.

Also I know I could do SyncThing easily over tailscale but I’m looking more for a backup options with scheduled backups.

Firefox natively syncs bookmarks if you’re not aware, including to mobile.

I recently discovered reCasaOS a FOSS fork that’s actively maintained. Might want to give that a shot first before moving everything over to a new OS.

This. Plex doesnt need a lot of resources, I ran it from a raspberry pi 3 for years without issue.

Pushing someone, even gently, to change something about their routines almost always causes them to become defensive and double down. The most effective way to enact change in someone else is to discuss how the changes you’ve made have benefited yourself.

What you’ve described is not what this post is about.

A discussion on encryption would be on the topic of digital privacy. Tone policing an employee of a company none of us even work for is not.

This topic isn’t about privacy it’s about workplace culture

What does your IoT network look like? A second wifi router? Mesh?

Unless it’s been updated, Plex HTPC doesn’t work on arm

This is my white whale. There is a guy making LineageOS versions of Android TV that seem to work well for some people but in my experience are buggy and I couldn’t get CEC working no matter what I tried.

Libreelec (kodi) works fantastic and CEC is flawless with every device I tested, but Kodi these days is really only good for local media (not Plex, Jellyfin, Youtube or streaming services) and real-debrid.

KDE Bigscreen is my last hope, but it’s probably going to be a while before it’s ready, not even including the inevitable wait for TV-interface versions of streaming apps that can run on ARM (if you’re using a raspi).

I’m confused about some of these. For example everything you mentioned in the torrent agent (maintaining ratios, watching for new media, seeing what’s popular) are already settings in the *arr suite that uses significantly fewer resources, no?

there’s a home assistant front door agent that can make automations or report sensor state or trigger scenes or entities

This is all basic functionality of Home Assistant, yes? I’m confused about what is the agent is doing?

I’m exhausted from writing poetry all the time I want something that can do that for me.

What are the agents doing for you?
