  • My PhD being insanely difficult for me has made me go through a couple fixations or hobbies with a few sticking.

    Bourbon has been present the whole time. It went to a big problem to a passion from COVID to now. I am better. After that I got really into China after watching a video about having nice things for your daily life.

    Then I got super into rebuilding iPods.

    After getting introduced to torrenting and Jellyfin I became obsessed with selfhosting, running servers, and Linux. I had six or so servers in my past home and now two in my new country. Since everything works that has somewhat become less interesting to me.

    Upon arriving in Japan my love for Game Boy’s has exploded and I find myself exploring old games. T

    he past few months spurred on by an invitation to make a workout music playlist I’ve gone from not running for over a decade to running 32k. Love this obsession with challenging my body as the result is losing over 10kg! :)

    Some smaller fixations are blogging on my servers. Taking hand written notes and planners. Recording important moments. Managing household money.






  • Yeah, I use it every day and have synced over 80k photos and videos to my servers with it. I absolutely love it. I know of no other option and I do not trust Immich or Nextcloud sync. I have never ever had an issue with photosync and if there is ever a rare error it tells me why.

    I have it set to rsync to my local server. I open the app. It has already selected the recent media that is unsynced to said location. I then press sync and it does it in the background.

    I believe the paid level above pro has some sort of auto sync based on location but I chose to not get that because I didn’t need it.

    Super, super recommend!



  • Jellyfin for control over what your child can watch. Qbittorrent for getting the media. Immich for organizing their photos—way better than iphone images by a landslide. Jellyfin also for music. Babybuddy for infant tracking needs. I would use ghost for blogging. I also appreciate mediawiki for a family genealogy wiki. Wireguard/Tailscale for safety. Adguard for controlling what comes into the house. Stash for keeping parents happy.
