    Backrest has been working well for my use-case. I appreciate having a UI to manage backup configuration (exclusions, etc.), and the command hooks have been useful when combined wit…

    It's uncanny. Nice work capturing so much of the attitude and conversation style, amped up just a little for effect.

    I've seen no indications of this supposed feature in my own experience or other sources. The article does not provide any evidence to support its claims.

    I'm happy to see this feature added. It's a feature that I didn't quite realize I was missing, but now that I see it described, I can understand exactly how I'll put it to use. Gre…

    I've found that using Tailscale on my Android phone became worlds more reliable (as far as the issues you've described) once I stopped using a custom DNS resolver on my Tailnet.

    Update: my appeal of the false positive has been accepted by Google and my domain is now unblocked.

    Thank you for the "welcome message" suggestion! I'll implement that in the hope it may help in the future.

    I have my own domain, and Immich is hosted on an "immich" subdomain.

    Immich is a great software package, and I recommend it. Sadly, Google can still flag sites based on domain name patterns, blocking content behind auth or even on your LAN.

    Indeed. Thankfully, this isn't the first time Google has caused an issue like this, so I'm familiar with the appeal process.

    The subdomain is "immich", which has crossed my mind as a potential flagging characteristic.

    Yes, it's on the "immich" subdomain. This has crossed my mind as a potential triggering cause, as has the default login page.

    Since other browsers, like Firefox, also use the Google Safe Browsing list, they are affected as well.

    Yes, my own domain.

    Comment #45677725

    The issue isn't the user-hosted content - I'm running a release build of Immich on my own server and Google flagged my entire domain.

    Comment #45677698

    I'm in a similar boat. Google's false flag is causing issues for my family members who use Chrome, even for internal services that aren't publicly exposed, just because they're on …

    Yes, my family Immich instance is blocked from indexing both via headers and robots.txt, yet it's still flagged by Google as dangerous.

    Comment #45677671

    I'm fighting this right now on my own domain. Google marked my family Immich instance as dangerous, essentially blocking access from Chrome to all services hosted on the same domai…

    In my opinion Tailscale is the realistic option for most people. The author is familiar with Tailscale having worked with it previously, but my interpretation is that he wanted to …

    It's interesting how confirmation bias can lead to a case based on a faulty premise. The objection always seemed like a long shot. I wonder if additional research will find anythin…

    Great work, this looks very cool and seems to work well. I hope one day to see a local backup option, as it's important to me that my chats are not lost.

    It is actually a remote connection to a real phone, so since the resources are quite finite, requiring a second factor makes a bit more sense.

    It is also a Cloudflare loop for me. I stopped attempting to exit the loop for fear of getting blocked.
