Today I set up my old laptop as a Debian server, hosting Immich (for photos), Nextcloud (for files), and Radicale (for calendar). It was surprisingly easy to do so after looking at the documentation and watching a couple videos online! Tomorrow I might try hosting something like Linkwarden or Karakeep.
What else should I self-host, aside from HA (I don’t have a smart home), Calibre (physical books are my jam), and Jellyfin (I don’t watch too many movies + don’t have a significant DVD/Blu-ray collection)?
I would like to keep my laptop confined to my local network since I don’t trust it to be secure enough against the internet.
edit: I forgot, I’m also hosting Tailscale so I can access my local network remotely!
That was basically what I wanted to use it for. There are several fairly reliable Invidious instances still left.
yewtu.becomes to mind andinv.nadeko.net. But it’s hit and miss, and it gets pretty janky having to refresh the instance, then pick a new instance, then Anubis weighs your soul to see if you are allowed to view content. But, like you say, if that’s the only video tut you can find… I usually just download the video and when done, delete it. Trying to jump through YouTube’s hoops is a futile endeavor. They’ve made it so painful to watch content on their platform while still trying to retain as much of your data as possible. Screw 'em.
