Very valid. I really enjoy it so far. No matter what browser im on i always spend a new minutes setting everything up. Might actullly harden this some extra. Probably wont get close to librewolf levels but i night be fine with that depending on much i manage to fix.

I found out they have a compact mode which completely hides the sidebar until you move your cursor to the edge. I didnt personally like it but maybe thats something for you?

This looks very bandy. Thanks allt for the link!

They do seem to be talking a lot about privacy for not having done anything. And i think they mentioned having disabled most of Firefox default telemetry and such. I will have to double check that when i get ho.e though.

What youre describing sounds alot like Grayjay

Windows Recall does NOT require NPU hardware to run. Currently Recall has been tested on Windows 11 with only a CPU and it seems to be fully operational. Of course performance is not as good as with an NPU. I believe Microsoft will try to push AI to local computing by only enabling on computers with NPUs to begin with. In the future it will most likely be able to be enabled on PCs which does not have an NPU but with a warning of bad performance in front of it.

Yep, port forwarding is gone. Never used it before but now that I actually need it it’s gone. In other areas I’d say Mullvad is number one for VPNs. Sweden based, great transparency, fair price model and no shady parent companies.

The tech-slope is a slippery slide into your wallet 😅

Thank you for the comment, a very interesting solution! I’m thinking of using Google as little as possible however. I would like to look into how to setup some access from outside the network via some VPN shenanigans.

I was also looking at automating backups with Cron - both DB and images to other disks and devices.

I got Immich up and running but have had some stuff come in the way to spend more time with it.

Another question: I set up the Immich docker image and I’m using Mullvad VPN, however Mullvad VPN removed in-app port forwarding last year. I’m curious whether there is a solution to use Split Tunneling for Immich via another VPN to setup secure remote access outside of the home network?

For context this was Godot managing to run my code even though it not make sense.

Thank you all for the responses! I will take look into Immich and if maintenance is too much of a hassle I might try out Ente!
