Location lost when uploading pics

I have location data on my photos, but when they are uploaded to somewhere, eg Immich, the location data is lost. I've tried uploading using a couple different apps, both with the same results.

Anyone know why this data might be getting stripped?

Update: It's not that the image location data was getting stripped, it was just only present on some pics and I couldn't figure out why. Turns out if I open maps and my phone gets a GPS lock, the image location works fine. Just need to figure out why I need maps open and why photos can't do this

Backing up Proxmox VMs to the cloud

I have had Proxmox running nightly backups and saving them to my NAS for years now without any issues. I've been thinking that it would also be nice to have these copied over to my cloud storage (some smaller company, no available plugins).

I know Proxmox Backup Server exists, but not much more than that other than it can backup to popular cloud providers.

The cloud provider I have has a Linux client that will create a shared folder on the system. My thought was to mount the Proxmox VM backup location with CIFS, install my cloud client and then write a script to run as a cronjob that would copy files from the Proxmox VM to the cloud folder each night.

This feels a bit clunky so I just wanted to ask if anyone knew of a better solution.

IDS listening on the WAN port

Is it possible to listen on the WAN interface with the built in IDS? I know this would be very noisy, but I like seeing all the traffic "knocking at the front door". I had previously done this in Pfsense with Suracata, and was wondering if it was possible in Ubiquiti.

I currently have the IDS/IPS setup on all of my VLANs, but don't see a way to enable this on the WAN interface itself.

TM Signal

The scariest part of this recent news is that TM Signal seem(ed) to be interoperable. People using TM Signal could interact with actual Signal users. How are you to know whether or not your groups have people using bastardized versions of Signal? Are things like Session interoperable with Signal?

Simple light automation question

I currently have a lot of my light automations setup by first having an automation that turns the light on at a certain time, then another that turns the light off at another time. This works, and it has for years, but I'm imagining there must be blueprints or other methods to do this on/ off behavior in a single automation rather than having them in pairs (this is not scaling very well).

Anyone have suggestions? The image is a blueprint I have for turning lights on/ off based on a time window which is very handy, and I'm hoping there's something similar out there for my needs.

Recommendations for outdoor weather sensor

I previously hacked together an Ikea sensor which worked well for the price, but was not weatherproof, and my solution caused the temperatures to be very inaccurate.

I'm looking for something that can be used offline (connects to HA via WiFi, Zigbee, etc but does not need WAN access) and is plug and play. I see some solutions like this, but am not sure if they will work in an 'offline' mode. Anyone have any suggestions? Something with wind speed, etc would be awesome.

Suggestions for Email/ Calendar

I am looking for a privacy respecting (and ideally E2EE supporting) email/ calendar/ contacts provider.

I had previously used ProtonMail up until a few months ago when the CEO started getting political (bummer).

I've since been using TutaMail, and while it's a bit rough on the UI/UX, I do appreciate that the team behind it seems very privacy focused. One problem here though, is that family that is also using this is ending up in spam folders when emailing others (I guess Tuta is more likely to be flagged as spam).

Does anyone have any suggestions for alternate providers?

Recommendations for VoIP provider

I am looking for a simple to use VoIP provider that I mainly plan to use for 2FA (when a cell number is required). I know there are checks that sometimes prevent VoIP from being used but I figure it's worth a shot.

MySudo looks nice but they require Google play services to be installed, VoIP.ms looks nice too but I've had a hard time getting a hold of anyone there to help with activating my account.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Graphene OS Profiles

I've used Graphene OS for years, but only recently started taking advantage of the profiles feature.

Currently the Owner profile that you log into on first boot is my main profile, and I have a secondary decoy profile that I can switch to. Is this the best way to do this, or should it be the other way around so that on first boot you go into the decoy, which also allows you to end the session of the main profile?

Best places to buy ebooks

I just got my first ereader, and am wondering if anyone has suggestions as to where I can purchase books but also download them (.epub, etc) after purchasing. I want to support the authors, but I also want to actually own the thing I'm paying for. Is ebooks.com a good option?

Buying into VOO

Up until now, I’ve just been saving an emergency fund in a HYSA. I’m getting to the point where I’d like to put excess savings into the market, and am looking at something like the VOO ETF. It seems things are essentially at an ATH right now, and there are a lot of big political things happening at the same time.

Would it be ill advised to buy into VOO right now? I could hold this in my HYSA but at the same time, I’m not needing this money for a while and long term I would think the market will continue to rise.

I know there was news a couple days ago about Berkshire Hathaway selling their S&P 500 ETFs, but this made up ~0.01% of their total portfolio.

Rewards for ACH transactions

Between rent and school payments, I am paying quite a lot over ACH and am wondering if there’s any way to also get some benefits back from these payments.

There are cards out there like the “Fold” card that will give back up to 1.5% in BTC for ACH transactions, but that’s contingent on you spending a lot on other transactions and the card also has a $100 annual fee.

I don’t care if the rewards are USD, BTC or booster packs of Pokémon cards. I’d just like something back from these transactions.

Questions before switching from Proton

I’m currently evaluating switching from Proton to Tuta and the experience has been pretty great so far. There are just a couple pain points/ questions I have before taking the plunge.

Recently, Proton recently released a calendar widget last week that has been very useful for me. Is there any change of Tuta calendar doing the same, or is this not possible to do securely?

I also use Simple Login for aliasing and have a hundreds of aliases. I know it’s possible to do the same in Tuta with custom domains, but are you also able to “pause” those aliases, or is it just create and delete? Curious as to what the management interface would be like

Firefox search is resolving to IP instead of hostname

I have a SearXNG instance running locally, and I have a proxy entry for this (search.home). When I go to https://search.home in Firefox, it works as expected and brings me to SearXNG, however if I try adding this as my default search, it instead resolves to the IP and not the hostname, which fails because the IP does not have a cert on it and it tries to hit it with https (as would work with the hostname).

This works in Firefox mobile, and every other web browser I've tried on desktop, just not Firefox for some reason. I've tried various about:config changes but so far no luck. Anyone else have a workaround for this? It would be nice if Firefox showed you what it actually has saved for the url/hostname/IP of the search engine in the Search section of the Settings, but sadly it just has the name and shortcut listed.

SSL Certs With NGINX

I recently generated a self-signed cert to use with NGINX via it's GUI.

  1. Generate cert and key
  2. Upload these via the GUI
  3. Apply to each Proxy Host

Now when I visit my internal sites (eg, jellyfin.home) I get a warning (because this cert is not signed by a trusted CA) but the connection is https.

My question is, does this mean that my connection is fully encrypted from my client (eg my laptop) to my server hosting Jellyfin? I understand that when I go to jellyfin.home, my PiHole resolves this to NGINX, then NGINX completes the connection to the IP:port it has configured and uses the cert it has assigned to this proxy host, but the Jellyfin server itself does not have any certs installed on it.
