Only using Mealie as a recipe manager at the moment. Haven’t used the meal planner function. Sounds interesting though and might give it a try.

I prefer a GUI when possible.

When I was starting out with selfhosting and stuff, I had tons of issues with networking, reverse proxies, etc. And much of the advice here was not… particularly helpful. I genuinely don’t think most people here understand how much they know, and how much comes across as gibberish when they speak to a true newbie. I still see it in this forum all the time for new people. Just the other day someone described themselves as a total newbie, nothing more than Jellyfin running on a Mac locally, and a comment I saw suggested their next step should be running proxmox and setting up VMs and this that and the other service. Like… that’s not a good next step.

My partner and I quite like Mealie. It doesn’t import 100% perfectly like you say, but it does probably 90% of the work.

You can share Immich albums.

Quick tech specs

With 122.88 TB capacity, you have ample space to store a vast number of images, extensive hours of video, or a large collection of songs

Understatement much?

They said at the end to comment if you want a link.

Didn’t even change the r/ part. Damn man give us a little respect at least take the time to edit your sales pitch.

There is no rule about advertising in the sidebar. I’m personally fine with it. If it weren’t advertised here, I might never hear about projects to be honest. Almost everything I’m hosting right now came about because I heard about it on a forum.

There’s no supposing necessary. It was a fire hazard, and presently not eventually. When something has caused a fire, it’s no longer a hazard, it’s just, you know, a fire.

Why let perfect be the enemy of good?

“tailscale might enshittify in the future” is honestly a poor argument against “plex is enshittified right now”

Then call it Matrix. They don’t need to know and probably don’t care about the specific server software you’re using.

I like the bot as is and wouldn’t change it or remove any.

I think a lot of people here take for granted how much they know.

I use Donetick.

Public companies are almost more likely to do this, no? They have shareholders to appease instead of just private interests.

I’d want them to as well, but I’d also expect them to put in the bare minimum effort considering I’m taking over server admin duties and costs.

No loyalty to any brand or service, ever. Take your dollars and your time and your effort to whoever deserves it most. That even includes open source software.

No, that doesn’t change anything about what I said really.

To me, if I’m hosting something for my friends and family, they can put in the effort to learn how to use it. Period. Whether that’s as simple as logging in through a browser, installing an app, or using a VPN. They can learn, or they can pay for Netflix (as an example, since we’re discussing a media server originally).

I’ve never understood this stance. You do you, but if I’m offering to host stuff for friends or family for free, they can at least learn to operate that thing on their end.

Edited to add, wow I did not expect this to be such a hot take. Fuck me I guess lol.
