Yes I'm waiting until it's ready for the average user before I recommend it to anyone.

Sure:

  • Proxmox backs up all my VMs/CTs nightly to the proxmox backup server I run as a VM with an external HDD attached to it. This keeps around 30 versions with a retention policy so I can go back pretty far if needed. These are full bootable images and include everything.

  • Restic (using Backrest to manage it), runs on any VMs/CTs with critical data, and backs up to Backblaze B2 every night as well, this is a more limited choice of the critical files that I'd need. Similar retention policy as the proxmox backup.

With both I try and do some full restores every month or two and test things out.

If you really want better sleep quality probably a better way is stop using stuff with screens like an hour or so before bed. It's not really the blue light that is the issue, it's the endless content keeping our mind active.

Give your brain time to rest and relax!

Sounds like you're just running the back end, and it's using the public front end linked to your local back end by default.

If you want to use port 12470 it says that is https so you'd need to type that in instead of http in your browser.

If you wanted to run the whole thing locally, it mentions disabling CORS, and then you'd probably need to set up the web front end: https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-web

I use watchtower to auto update everything.

Anything that needs a specific version for compatibility (Postgres mostly) is pinned to the major release.

Stuff occasionally breaks, but I have backups for that reason (if you don't, set that up now before anything else, they should be running daily at least and you should have 2 types of backup minimum).

If you want that style of UI use Zen browser, it's based on Firefox and doesn't require an account to use it.

Arc is just another crappy browser based on Chrome. The account requirement was and is a huge red flag.

The healthiest is to enable the option to only charge to 80% (or near there, depending on the phone you have).

Otherwise slower charging is better, if the wireless charging doesn't make the phone hotter than say 30C or so I wouldn't worry about using it. 45C is the limit for charging Li-ion safely, but it's better to be cooler.

FolderSync is a good alternative, more battery friendly too!

Yes there's always a chance corruption can happen from a hard power off, always keep reliable backups.

I would go with a managed Nextcloud provider, it's such a pain to manage self hosting Nextcloud specifically.

Be extra vigilant with your backups though, free stuff always has a higher chance of weird stuff happening, once they just removed my VPS after my trial ended and told me to re-create it.

Current 18650/21700 Li-ion cells are a lot safer than they were 10+ years ago, less chance of thermal runaway and fires now.
