🧵 4/4Set the Epson #FastFoto scanner to at least 600dpi, preferably 1200dpi. Its default is only 300dpi. But NOTE that the larger the scan resolution, the more disk storage space they will need. The FastFoto will also scan a bit more slowly with the larger resolutions. Ditto for the flatbed scanner.Do not use USB thumb drives, as these are not reliable. Get at least one good 2-4 Tb SSDI external drive-- two, if you do not use #CloudStorage for your primary or backup copy."Always backup the backup of your backup." Do not rely on any one storage alone-- not even #TheCloud . Someday, you will lose that password or be unable to afford subscriptions anymore. When you die, how will your family access your online accounts? What will you do when the power is off and the WiFi goes down? Having an offline data storage system is vital. That being said, it's wonderful to be able to share photos by just sending a link to family members. The Cloud does have its advantages. Free Cloud accounts and free photo storage apps won't hold all of your photos by the time you get far along in the process. You will probably need to pay for extra Cloud space, if you use Cloud storage.BE AWARE that ALL Cloud storage accounts are scraped by #AI companies to train their chatbots. If, for any reason, this is something you're not comfortable with, don't put your photos online anywhere and don't use Cloud storage.In the beginning, overestimate your future data storage needs dramatically and you'll be better off.Every few years or so, plug in your offline storage to your lateat device and make sure the files are still accessible and the physical connections still work. Technology changes quickly, and unused storage devices can fail. It's important to check up on it regularly and convert media to the newer tech standard, while you still can. https://diggingintoyourfamilytree.wordpress.com/2022/02/26/avoiding-common-problems-part-2-file-management/#Genealogy #Archiving #FamilyPhotos #DataStorage #FileManagement #CloudStorage #Backups #ScanningPhotos @atfarnum

@kpguild oh how wonderful!

@selfhosted @_elena DONE!!! FINALLY! Multi-site works, and fun can begin! Our presentation page is up, and I'm impressed as the site seems super-fast. I won't try activitypub at the moment, maybe next week. Content for now, no visuals, it's still the default WordPress theme; I'll however continue using Gutenberg block editor for site design, sighted lady will help me with styles, sizes, colors, flags, logo. For now I have what I need: my best friend in POSITIVE (pun very intended) mood ☣️ and my intermediate web dev technical skills, let me build nav bar and HIV glossary before anything else, testing new multi-language echosystem. Before starting involving the sighted designer I want the interface to work properly.ENGLISH https://plusbrothers.net/english/about/ITALIANO: https://plusbrothers.net/cosa-facciamoDetail: I had to create a solo Nginx conf file to instruct it to accept main URL, placed on /etc/nginx/conf.d/plusbrothers.net.d/; I can't deny or hide that for this, AI helped. And precisely, the Hostinger embedded chatbot, trained with main provider base configurations.Unfortunately YunoHost has a limitation and wants WordPress to be installed into a subdirectory such as domain dot tld slash wp.And leaving it as it is, with its /wp/ at the end of each content, would have generated 404 errors to folks searching for old posts. I wanted to have at least the presentation page published, within July 3rd - the day where New York Times in 1981 talked of HIV for the first time, identifying it as an untreatable disease affecting 41 homosexual men.And the weird destiny is that my best friend, and content writer for this project, was born July 3rd 1975. 6 years later AIDS come out in the USA. He's gay, and turned poz (HIV+) in 2013 due to a cheating partner. #selfhosting #yunohost #wordpress

@Curve25519 Not yet available, unfortunately. Mostly because the idea of other people submitting merge requests I don't have the time to review or triage is daunting over anything else.

Blind folks, what would make you want to use, or try out, Linux?Boosts okay.#accessibility #blind #linux #foss

Need help folks! Planning to move to a new instance, want my posts, reposts, favorites, bookmarks either as a read-only archive or exported to my new instance. Can blind-first apps like Fedra @TheQuinbox or FastSM @MewProjects allow a full buffer export if I load everything into them? Or @FediTips Is there an unofficial way to export or bring it all to a new instance? Any suggestions much appreciated!#Mastodon #Fediverse #FediHelp #Accessibility #Blind

@luca @nationsblind @BPI @mastoblind Unfortunately I must address you to a big tech place, but, search for "sensory cube". It has colors but also tactile textures.

@talksina hi Elena. I have constructed a partial form to test if this is usable or not. I've numbered the questions and written out either the optional answers or written a line for you to type in your answer.If you don't mind, try this text file, tell me if I should continue or make any changes to my approach. If it's good like this I will send a second file with the rest of the questions, if not I will happily make any changes.The file is a plain text file at https://about.iftas.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/partial_IFTAS_form.txt
