I’m already hosting something similar I think. I am hosting a Immich instance for me and my wife to back up our photos from phones and computers and I also host a PeerTube instance for videos and some audio (I don’t have so much audio only).

What would make me trust a special software for it is things which validate it from outside like stars on github or other people blogging about it what they’re using it, and history which is at least a year so I can see that it’s not just a quickly vibecoded project which will be abandoned soon. Also if there would be a export to HTML or so so that I could get a static archive if the project really stops being supported.

That was what I couldn’t believe that 3/4 of all Macs today are running a 10 years old version of Apples Operating system.

StatCounter lists OS X at 11.89% and macOS at 4.48% for June 2026

What?

Normally you would have in each file a license header and depending on which license the file ia it would have a different header if the licenses are mixed.

Often we don’t copy the library source code into the same git repo but use some package manager which installs them for the user.

In that case if the whole git repo is the same license then often we just have a LICENSE file in the root which ia mentioned in the readme.

It has links to SPDX descriptions ect which are best practices in this regard.

In 2003 I started making websites for my bands, then for my daughters Kindergarten, then for a friends business, I learned so much doing it that after 3 years I was able to get a job as a web frontend developer. And that was my entry to the IT industry I went to university to study computer science and now I work as a Architect and Product Manager of a big system in the automobile industry.

The videos me and my brother digitized a couple of years ago when we were at my parents over Christmas. Now I have them all on my PeerTube instance with private access for friends and family.

The pictures not yet.

Having your mom recorded commmeting on the pictures is a very cool idea!

The hordes of home videos my dad and me created and all the pictures of family and friends I was able to save.

Dö we have a ‘explain the joke’ community here on the threadyverse?

I think for westerners spoken Japanese is easier and written Korean is easier.

Same here (I’m on my 3rd migration) and after 5 years I still don’t even speak the language, which is embarrysing but also just fact.

I’m from Silesia which is now part of Poland after the WWII. All my grand parents were born in Germany and then the borders moved and the land became polish.

But it’s more complicated, because my ancestors were fighting against both the polish and the Germans to make Silesia an independent nation, but they failed. Two of my great grandfathers ended up in concentration camps because of that, one in Auschwitz and another one in Dachau.

When my dad started going to achool he spoke Silesian, a mix of polish and German which was usual there. His parents were called to the principal countless times that they have to do something about it because German was not allowed in school.

When my grandfathers sister who lived in Germany because she fled there - came to visit him they spoke German at the bus station because she didn’t speak polish. Someone called the police and my grandfather spent two weeks in jail for this.

When I started to go to school, it was still forbidden to learn German, so I was supposed to learn Russian instead.

My parents finally had the possibility to flee to Germany and only there 1989 we all started to learn the language of our ancestors, two generations later.

Still to this day the polish government is afraid of the separatistst movement in Silesia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silesian_independence

China has the exact same problem as Poland. Before Xi they have been quite relaxed with it. My wife was born into a Korean family in north east China, she didn’t speak Chinese until middle school. They had their own identity, Korean schools, Shops, etc, no integration needed.

But separatism is dangerous for countries, it brings a lot of problems, fighting, security concerns, etc. It’s just easier and more harmonic if everyone pulls to the same direction. Poland crushed the German identity by constantly putting people into jail and making it impossible to live a normal life and by mixing the rest of the german population who for whatever reason couldn’t flee to Germany after WWII. And they did so very successfully I might add. Now Xi is learning from this success and doing the same with their minorities.

Damn, I’m in the same boat. I didn’t attend one meeting because ut was too late in My timezone and the others chose this moment to vote me to become the lead of the AI acceleration initiative where we have half a year to come up with and implement things on each step from requirements, through architecture and development to testing on all levels.

And yeah we better come up with something useful because I already know they have to reduce the work force because there is no money and the people who will be left can’t do all of it alone without help.

Das Problem ist dass unsere Strukturen so sind dass sie Psychopathen, soziopaten und Narzisisten gönnen und diese nach oben spühlen.

What we did in my dads house was just to repurpouse old wifi routers as access points and put them everywhere where there was no coverage. But we pulled Ethernet all the way to each of them. Then we put the same SSID and password so everything would just switch to the one with the atrongest signal automatically.

One of my favourite Indie Theaters is the Lichtspiele Kino in Bamberg (in Germany): https://www.lichtspielkino.de/lichtspiel/

In 1954, the cinema opened under the name REX-LICHTSPIELE as a local neighborhood cinema — at that time there were still nine other movie theaters in the city!

In the mid-1970s, many things changed in Germany, and the previously rather tame films became increasingly more explicit: REX EROTICA experienced a second heyday, while other cinemas were already forced to close their doors. In 1992, the controversial film house suffered the same fate.

New life was brought to it in 1993 by two young Berliners, who turned the Rex into the RESIDENZ and for the first time attempted to establish an art-house cinema program in Bamberg.

Two years later, in June 1995, Gerrit Zachrich took over the cinema from them. During his student years, he had already co-founded the Bamberg Short Film Festival, the oldest short film festival in Bavaria, organized the first Bamberg Documentary Film Festival, and co-founded a student film club. Since 2000, he has run the business together with Diana Linz.

When it was decided in the same year that a multiplex cinema would open in the town, the last two independent mainstream cinemas gave up. The two art-house cinema operators used this opportunity to open the Odeon, a cinema for a broader range of art-house films. To this day, the small repertory cinema on Untere Königstrasse stands for cinematic art in Bamberg.

The LICHTSPIEL is a cultural center of the city. Events take place every month not only in the cinema hall but also in the adjoining cinema bars. This is why the Lichtspiel receives awards every year: from the German Federal Ministry of Culture, the FilmFernsehFonds Bayern, and also from the European Commission in Brussels.

I was trying to make a joke.
