Honestly, I’d like to suggest that you get a real document scanner like the Brother ADS1700W. I got one used for less than 200bucks and it was the best purchase I made in several years. It scans double sided in color at about two seconds per sheet, straight to pdf on a network share, no computer involved.

I still have an AIO inkjet (also Brother) but only use that one’s scanner for things that can’t go into the auto sheet feeder.

Friends help you move.

Real friends help you move bodies.

But your route taught you to research!

Your second-to-last word missing.

That was an early beta of Win95, very iconic. He famously closed the laptop, smiled, and said “I guess that’s why we’re not shipping yet.”

And yes, that’s exactly the kind of situation you want to avoid on stage.

Oh, I agree with you! And I’m sure we can have this discussion about almost any current product launch, too.

Rowan Atkinson, too.

This is old news, and perfectly normal for stage work.

Yeah, and old man in charge of the planet’s biggest child abuse network. Let’s hear his thoughts on morality.

Paywalled.

Sorry but that’s not true. I have been running Immich for a long time now, and it is solid and stable.

A recent update had a change in the Docker configuration, and if you didn’t know that and just blindly upgraded, it would still run and show a helpful explanation. That’s amazing service.

Congratulations! I think you’ll love it. There are some things to set up. Let me know if you have questions :-)

I’ve commented elsewhere on this page:

Brother ADS-1700W
Tiny,fast, scans double-sided straight to a network share. It’s the most amazing thing I’ve bought in years, literally.

The printer has a web interface where you set up destinations, and I set up a file path there. Separately, on the printer itself, you can set it up to do one action automatically when it detects material in the auto sheet feeder, and I used that so it auto-scans to PDF/A and saves it on that network share.

Then I have Paperless check that path once a minute. So my workflow is literally, drop the paper in the scanner, and 5 seconds later put it in a box, then a minute later I see it in Paperless. It’s bliss.

What are those concerns? Why is it relevant to self-hosting?

Is it like the rumor that the Lemmy devs are pro-Russia or whatever it was about?

Honestly asking, here. Not trying to start a flame war, just want to know whether to bother to care about this.

Google oppice apps are not fast, that’s true, but they are blazingly fast compared against Nextcloud or Synology. Only Office 365 can keep up (and is functionally better) - but eh, you know.

I have tried Photoprism but was not as impressed by it as Immich.

Yes! Sorry for giving wrong details. That was from memory, and I am a goldfish…

Among my must-have selfhosting items, in no particular order, I can recommend:

• Portainer, to keep track of what’s going on.
• Nginx Proxy Manager, to ensure https with valid certificate to those services I want to have available from the outside.
• Pihole, of course.
• Gitea, to store my coding stuff.
• Paperless-ngx, to store every paper in my life.
• Immich, an amazingly good replacement for Google Photos.

Do you use vpn?

Ugh, Nextcloud. It is always touted but it is such a pain to set up properly, and then it is slow as molasses.

I’ve tried, and I’ve tried the similar suite from Synology, but in the end always come back to the Google system - much as I hate to admit it, Google “just works”.
