   I've got a VPS with Nextcloud and Photoprism running in a Docker container. If you're savy enough to set it up, including backups, it's a pretty solid option. Haven't needed to spend much time on maintenance since I orig

    I never panicked in the past about spreading the flu. I'd wear a mask and avoid visiting grandma if I were sick. But I won't live in a bubble just because there are things in the world that could hurt people. You can't reduce
