A friend of mine bought a Jeep last year and it looked cool so we were thinking if this would be something for us as a next car.

But sadly I’m allergic to advertisement, so I guess a Jeep is out of question until they rethink it.

I think you will need to have a mix, not everything is S3 compatible.

But I also like S3 quite a lot.

Yes this is the main reason for me. If you’re alone then you don’t care that things occasionally don’t work. Once you have at least one more person or potentially the extended family it’s a whole different story. And then in my opinion a potentially not 100% secured publicly accessible immich instance at home is magnitudes better than having the family just use google photos.

Because like you say, every little hick up from your site is met with “why can’t we just use $bigtech instead, it always works”.

What about home assistant? Me and the Family quite often use the HA app on the go, sometimes even from other computers like at my parents or in a hotel to check on the house and the cat. I also gave my dad access to it so he can see if we’re at home and things like that.

Same with my dads HA.

So there is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail2ban which helps already to some degree.

But what are you trying to prevent? You have your services in a docker container, hopefully not running as root, which already makes it difficult to break out even if through a bug someone would be able to get access to the docker container.

I mean its not like your stuff is very important for someone to break in like the pentagon, you probably just have some photos from your phone on it, some lights can be switched on and off and some temperatures read.

I’m not trying to say that you should not care about it but I’m trying to figure out what your threat model is.

If the no ads and ads free version contains adds then pirating is also not immoral anymore.
