Running background tasks in Nextcloud is a huge thing to get right, as you have found out...

Followed... I'll take a listen.
Where else is it available other than castopod?

For photos I'd look at running immich as it handles duplicates well, and it also plays nicely for you to categorise your photos and videos. For general backups, as said, I would personally look at a solution. I personally use duplicati, others exist, you can have a look into what you need. rsync can do the job, but I found duplicati quicker and easier to setup

OSA means the instances that are federated are required to remove it, but also because they failed to remove it and/or failed to regulate ages and the day of the week and feed the cat they are guilty

To be brutal Microsoft appear to understand little these days...

I haven't changed much in years, still run a truenas box (was freenas before) with 5 spinning rust drives and never lost any data yet (bang goes something now I've said it). Currently duplicati but some stuff is just backed up manually still. Each to their own like, and immich on truenas for backing up photos and videos

Had a discussion with another creator buddy and they said it appeared that there was a load less scraping going on which inflated their viewer figures for months. I wonder if youtube is finally stopping their whole content being scraped perpetually?

Whilst on many things I respect Linus he is always opinionated to the max. I seem to remember him doing the same over hardware raid and then software raid as well over the years - so Linus what would you like us to use for some data security eh? I do have to throw in that this article is also from 2023 - a long time and a whole host of the issues he says are simply not true any longer

So you need to understand a bit more about addresses here. If you access the website from the pi it will be <http://localhost:5232/&gt; as the address using the defaults. Form another machine it will be <http://ipofpi:5232/&gt;

As said below you need to make a file to specify that address, but the defaults given will end up with the above ip addresses. It is a http, not a https as well. So config the address used via the documentation and then access it how you'd like to. This is used because you can, if you wish, specify a different port (5232 is the default)

I hope that helps

I have seen multiple reports about it!
One quick search revealed this forbes report earlier this year

It is part of that, but youtube is consumed more on tvs than other devices now worldwide. Now that means that the people who now watch YT are less likely to watch LTT because that is not their focus. I mean shorts are a huge part of YT yet most people seem to dislike them.

no smart tv but through a tv box (not android). Don't mind the ads when we watch on our projector, if I do I watch on wifes gaming pc also hooked up to projector

thus the continued war on ads...

you can force a lot of options still when you upload a video OR provide a link. Plenty do that. For example in the tags add yt:cc=on will force on captions when you play a video

Also I have to say that the whole idea of truenas is moving towards enterprise even if you self-host it. They'd much rather you bought a whole system than on your cobbled together old stuff. That's why it is now community edition, a simple way of saying you are gonna get bugs and things that don't work

Oh and as if by magic, after I said something I received an email from a client bemoaning about the drop in youtube viewers. She reckons it is not only a drop in viewers but in viewing time as well. Mentioned bloody AI as well just because everybody is

I get that - it is never going to replace a true docker setup. However I am pretty happy with what I can achieve on my personal truenas setup, and it is NOT exposed to the web which appears to be perfectly fine.

Youtube has seen exactly the same slowdown as everything on the internet. Plenty of people have less time to spend watching videos and being more worried about money (lack of it) whilst also spending more time on other things.i cannot blame one single thing but I have noticed that the complaints about AI being literally everywhere are at the foreground when people moan to me!

There are quite a few that allow uploads without charges or subs. But not if you start now, right now because costs have risen so much you cannot possibly cover them if someone comes in and uploads 20 or so high quality high bandwidth sucking videos because well, there isnt really the audience and the money is basically lost... and as said that is where we are. Doesn't help they only really use h.264 and don't get ad revenue. Creators have zero interest in making a video if they don't get something back, either in plenty of views or some income which currently, to be brutal, they have zero chance of achieving on peertube compared to youtube

Nextcloud is pushed as an easy to use docker setup these days, heck most people I know who "use" it don't do much with it at all so what database it is using is gonna be way back in their list of priorities...
Plus the users outweigh the admins surely (as in those that just install then forget)
