Hi, I’m looking for some advice to point be in the right direction for my data storage and backup.
Currently I just have Jellyfin and Immich set up on my laptop that runs Windows. At the moment my storage capacity requirements are pretty low (just close to 1TB). But I am concerned about data integrity, especially all my Photos and work files.
At the moment I have an old HDD and a new SSD that I backup to every month(two separate copies).
In a few months I will be going overseas. I plan to have a copy of all by data with me but I would also like to have it in my home ‘server!?’
Do I set up a machine new machine to hold the data? Or can I just continue using my laptop. Increasing storage requirements, resilience and ease of management when not physically available are a concern.
Again, I’m very new in my selfhosting journey and as Linux or sysadmin is not something I have exposure to (apart from memes on Lemmy) I would love to all of your suggestions for idiot proof setups. I’m willing to learn and tbh learning about docker and editing config files have been pretty fun so far and would switch to Linux if work permitted.
The background noise feels muted, movements are much more precise, you start easily making intuitive connections between concepts. If I’m moving around to get something done, it’s like someone else is controlling my movements while I’m already planning my next steps.
Time is weird. You’re thinking and doing stuff faster than normal but at the end of the day you’ve spent more time working than you realised.
I love the feeling, unfortunately it takes a deadline to get there.
