Finally, a photo and not just a snapshot! This one is great. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your work.

I started using Lychee before Immich came out and I use them for different purposes.

Eventually, I ended up using Immich only for backing up my and my partner’s phone pictures.

They’re both incredible piece of software.

You have to realize that this is not macrophotography though.

Macrophotography is a type of photography where you take really close-up pictures of small things to make them look big and clear. It helps you see things that your eyes might not notice, like the tiny hairs on a bee or the patterns on a butterfly’s wing.

While some telephoto lenses have a “macro mode” that lets you focus closer than usual, they don’t work as well as a true macro lens. However, you can use extension tubes or close-up filters with a telephoto lens to get better macro shots.

You can also try the reverse lens technique. It involves flipping a regular lens backward using a reverse adapter ring.

When reversed, the lens works like a magnifying glass, allowing you to capture extreme close-ups—great for macro photography on a budget. This method works best with a 50mm lens, but you lose autofocus and aperture control, so you have to adjust settings manually.

I selfhost Lychee for personal and professional work.

Apart from a small donation I made to the team, I just pay for the electricity and keep my data private.

Thanks, I will

Thanks, I’ll try it again

I’ve tried a lot of them but they feel really immature compared to Sync.

What would be your go to if it happened today ?

Thanks for your answer.

So if Docker completely ignores UFW rules, how am I supposed to protect my VPS ? I’ve never done this before and I’m puzzled.

As for NPM, here’s the “ports” part of my docker-compose

    ports:
      - '80:80'
      - '81:81' #GUI
      - '443:443'

I have developped this myself

It’s a lot friendlier with a link :)

I talked about it here last year

I completed a 365 challenge a while ago, and while it taught me plenty, the biggest lesson was about finding an interesting subject and an interesting way of capturing it every single day. My audience really became my second teacher throughout the journey.

I finally made it to day 365, mostly sharing photos of rocks and leaves. By then, my audience was pretty worn out and relieved it was done, and I learned that it’s perfectly fine not to have something to say every day, or at all, and share it. It’s all about recognizing that and accepting it.

That being said, go out and take photos.

I mean yes, that seems obvious now that I’ve learned this.

But I wish I read this comment 3 years ago when I was starting to dive into self hosting. Would have saved me a bunch of time. So always assume some piece of knowledge is not obvious for someone out there and share ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

You can still use Fennec : https://f-droid.org/repo/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid_1330320.apk

I wish I could start learning how to code. But I’m already stretched too thin on too many fronts :(

You don’t even know the business I’m running and who my target audience is :D If I can touch more people with the mentality to use fediverse, then, good for me ;)

As a small business owner that has to turn into a content creator 🤢, I need this.

I hate that proprietary software has credentials for all my social media.

It just lacks twitter.

And I don’t know why this kind of software never offered posting to pixelfed, Lemmy or mastodon…

I’ll have to have a look into this, it looks promising :)

Oh damn, that’s sad.

Thanks for the link

That’s great reading something else than “use a work computer”.

Actually, this is the root of my problem, I don’t really seek clients that are people using tiktok. My target customer doesn’t use any of this crap, but before I can count on word of mouth, I need to eat, and I’ll make some profit when I’ve finally met my target customers.

In the meantime, it’s thin line to walk on.

Thanks for your input.

I’m using Insular atm, which I like.

I was curious so I installed Shelter, but I can’t find how to setup a VPN for the work profile as you mentioned.
