That is Google, not DuckDuckGo?

The Unmade Podcast (https://unmade.fm/) is probably my GOAT. Brady Haran (from Numberphile, Computerphile, etc.) and his Childhood friend, Tim Hein, come up with wacky ideas for podcasts that they won't actually make. Definitely the funniest podcast I've ever heard.
Hello Internet, also from Brady, with CGP Grey, is also amazing. Though sadly on hiatus.

I love Reconcilable Differences! Probably my favourite podcast at the moment. I'm currently working my way through all the old episodes. ATP is very good too, but I think it's too focused on current events to go through all previous episodes

For most people, a different desktop environment probably makes a bigger difference than a different distro. They won't notice things like a different package manager

Doesn't it make more sense to get rid of the gaps at this screen size?

Do you have any recommendations for getting a higher upload rate? I'm running my torrent client 24/7, but most torrents barely seed

You can use https://netsplit.de/channels/?net=Libera.Chat, but it seems like the user numbers are messed up at the moment

Yep, turns out it doesn't insert its own iptables rules like docker does, so the special rules from ufw-docker weren't necessary anymore.

At least podman does not circumvent my firewall (ufw) like docker did. Had to use a workaround to get it to work with docker.

No problem! I also see Restic a lot in this thread, so I'll probably try both at some point

The USB naming strategy
I see many posts asking about what other lemmings are hosting, but I'm curious about your backups. I'm using [duplicity](https://duplicity.gitlab.io/) myself, but I'm considering switching to [borgbackup](https://www.borgbackup.org) when 2.0 is stable. I've had some problems with duplicity. Mainly the initial sync took incredibly long and once a few directories got corrupted (could not get decrypted by gpg anymore). I run a daily incremental backup and send the encrypted diffs to a cloud storage box. I also use SyncThing to share some files between my phone and other devices, so those get picked up by duplicity on those devices.

One of the main things is that Paperless applies OCR to each uploaded document, so you're not just searching for the message content and metadata, but also the whole content of the document. Maybe some email clients will do this too. It also has a tagging system which can automatically add tags based on document content. Mostly I just like having everything that's relevant in one place, and only what what is relevant. So if I'm looking for concert tickets I don't find the "order confirmed" and other related emails that do not actually contain the tickets.

I'm really happy with Photoprism as well, it's great to have facial recognition without relying on Google Photos

I use all of these and can confirm they're really good! I can't believe I used to just search through multiple email accounts instead of using Paperless.

How has your experience hosting your own email been? I often hear that the big providers (Google, Microsoft, etc.) will simply drop your sent mails.

There's so many:
- Termux: terminal
- Tailscale: easily allows for setting up a mesh VPN network, completely unbothered by firewals and NAT. Sometimes I fix stuff on my homeserver from my phone with Termux.
- Tachiyomi: great manga reader, I only hope that sync gets officialy built in (I'm already using SyncYomi).
- Revolution IRC: IRC client.
- Nextcloud: backs up photos on my homeserver instead of Google Photos. Sadly uses a lot of battery, probably because I have around 50K images to scan.
- Jellyfin: streams shows and films from my homeserver.
- Fedilab: mastodon client.
- FairEmail: privacy friendly email app.

SyncThing is amazing! I mainly use it to synchronise Obsidian markdown notes between devices, plus general file sharing. It's great how fast it updates
