Dumped reddit, Google, streaming, android apps and Facebook. Replaced with proton, Plex, Lemmy. Grapheneos, kagi and mastodon.

I am trying to do the same migration from plex to jellyfin but jellyfin keeps crashing on the server with ‘out of memory’ in the logs. As soon as I can stabilize that I will dump Plex lifetime. I initially had sync server setting turned on in Plex and Plex kept sending cleartext phone SMS about what I had watched the day before. That is turned off now. I asked Plex corp for a copy of my data. They sent it to me but ‘forgot’ to send the database table with watch history. They sent me that table when I complained it was missing. Fuck Plex and their spyware.

I have to remember this for next winter. Going into summer here.

I have the OS (with docker) mirrored too. So no reinstalling, just disk or other parts swapping in case of a failure. I hope. A mothboard swap is the worst downtime. I have done this and needed to fiddle with network settings due to changed net interface name to get the server up again.

I put my dockers on mirrored zfs pool and have enough spare parts in case of breakdowns.

habit mostly. in case i need to recover from a bad kernel update or botched grub config. i jave never needed the backups.

after a few years of use I gave my roomba to my neighbour. I get much better results with a bosch manual vacuum snd some exercize too.

/etc /home /root /boot for me

head and tail

It took me about 6 months to de-gmail. Well worth it in the end. Im with paid protonmail now.
