  • In line with other commenter’s posts about security, if you’re new then don’t expose anything to the internet. Tailscale is great way to access your data remotely instead and doesn’t require opening yourself up to the internet in mass.

    As for hardware, budget will rule over all. If you’re looking for a quick and dirty backup solution, then a raspberry pi with a drive attached and running syncthing will be perfect for you (and easy to setup). Again all on your tailnet/tailscale.

    If you have more budget, then your options explode. You can use a whole range of hardware, OSes and software. Regardless, start with one service you want to run and go from there. Sounds like that’s media and pictures for you (as it was for most of us here).










  • Lot of misinformation here. Water is your best bet for lithium ion battery thermal runaway. There’s a small risk of shorting out other cells, but that doesnt matter once its on fire anyway. Lithium ion batteries contain lithium bonded to a metal oxide. As the name implies, the ions travel between electrodes, but the lithium is bonded/stable on either side. Lithium metal batteries are the ones that blow up in water. However, you typically only see those in small coin cells (watch batteries) since they’re not (currently) rechargeable.
