You’re off by some orders of magnitude.

It’s 0.005%

But that’s based off of the 1.1 billion number I saw. Somehow I very much doubt there’s 1.1 billion people with accounts who login and browse at least once a month.

They’ve designed the system intentionally this way, to keep people dependant on them.

When you search for a community just pick the biggest one. Really all there is to it. Honestly reddit had the same issue with similarly named subs

Yeah I don’t get it at all. It’s a non-issue.

Unless you have a reason to otherwise just search for the topic you want and pick the biggest. Just. Like. Reddit.

On Reddit there’s tons of very similar named communities out there it’s fine.

Passkeys aren’t so bad. Just switch to a password manager that stores them for you, preferably a self-hosted one if you’re technically inclined.

Oh hey thanks for reminding me, freed 5GB which should buy me a bit of time on upgrading the server I use for this lemmy instance.

You’re assuming they actually go to events where wearing a suit is expected, which for many is exceptionally rare.

You generally need to do a background check at a store

But random dude online selling a used one? Nothing. No paperwork. Just give money, get gun. Don’t even need a record of it.

Neither federal law nor Texas law requires private sellers to keep a record when they sell a firearm.

No. The Dems must implode and let something actually decent come in

In theory yes. But remember that Chrome is based on Chromium which is open source. But nobody has stepped up to do a viable hard fork to take power away from Google.

Maintaining a modern browser is a huge undertaking which is why almost nobody except Google, Mozilla, and Apple are really even trying. Even Microsoft threw in the towel.

The more bad stuff is added to Firefox the harder it will be for any forks to keep up removing it while also keeping it up to date. Will anyone step up?

Every one of them can, AFAIK. I have a second cheap used phone I picked up to play with Ubuntu Touch and it has a system called Waydroid for this. Not quite seamless and you’ll want to use native when possible but it does work.

SailfishOS, PostmarketOS, Mobian, etc all also can use Waydroid or a similar thing

I use my own [email protected] (well actually it’s last-net.com because I couldn’t secure any better domain. It’s too common.)

Never had an issue.

I just have a script that checks my IP every few minutes and changes the DNS record as necessary

Good for them honestly

It has been since 2019 but before that it was bash.

macOS is UNIX, certified UNIX actually.

But I mean, if someone had the merest impression of macOS and was very familiar with Linux and never bothered to look any further then I’d understand. Maybe they only played around with macOS a little and saw the terminal app had bash and most all the familiar tools as on Linux. It’s not hard to see why they might’ve thought it’s Linux based.

I’m not looking to become a sysadmin

And that’s fine and understandable. But I don’t think that Immich is for you. It’s not consumer-grade software. It’s a piece of Linux server software that requires occasional maintenance and administration. We haven’t seen a breaking update in a while but Immich does occasionally release updates where things will break if you don’t dig in to the config files and reconfigure it.

If you’re self hosting then you could just copy all the files from your server onto an external drive. I have to say that’s not a great backup solution though, and you should learn more about administration of Linux servers so that when things break you can fix them. I wouldn’t rely on it as a safe solution to your photos otherwise.

Are you paying for Immich somewhere? Then you’d have to trust the administrator to back your data up. I had assumed you were self hosting and by managed services I meant like Google Photos, or indeed someone else’s Immich setup.

You should have a backup solution for your server that should cover this, without that you should probably stick with managed photo backup services.
