I’m a NixOS convert too. I actually still run everything in docker but the idea of not having to remeber or document how I set everything up was too appealing…a year later and my desktop and laptop are now on nix too

A few months for the Facebook and Instagram bridges and I just setup the Google messages Bridge last week.

This is what I did, took a bit to get it configured but works great once your up and running.

I signed up for beeper, but realized you can self host a matrix server that uses the same bridges between these chat services.

I was skeptical at first, but it’s been super solid and refreshing to have a single chat app for everything.

Syncing support is a core feature of immich. The app is top notch from my experience with it.

Would highly reccomend https://immich.app/ too. It’s the solution I’ve finally landed on after trying out most of the options out there.

I have no idea why no other company has been able to recapture the magic of pebble. It was by far the best smartwatch I’ve ever owned.

Docker-compose and a terminal is how I do it. Its simple and effective. I’m able to manage ~20 services that way.

I’m with you. I think the comparison to email that a lotnof people have been doing works well. I can see lots of hoops to jump through to maintain federation.

I’d recommend it! Feels better than a web app imo. Especially if your have a couple different addresses.
