  • I implemented authentik for my immich server just last week and I can confirm that Immich will merge the accounts as long as they have the same email address. My other services I had to configure to use email matching. Paperless-ngx needed an environment variable added to allow it, and Grafana I didn’t even have a user created for myself, just used the default admin account.

    Jellyfin doesn’t support OIDC without a 3rd party plugin, so I haven’t set that one up yet. I also don’t use nextcloud, so can’t comment on that.










  • I use restic with a wrapper script to automate it on all of my machines. The backend storage can be anything that speaks S3, so B2, or iDrive would both work. I currently use Storj for my backend. It’s globally distributed storage, so no single point of failure geographically and it’s cheap. Backblaze is also a great company, but I’ve grown a little skeptical since they went public.




  • Technically any charging of a Lithium battery is “bad” for its health. Batteries are usually rated for a certain number if charge cycles from the manufacturer and after that number of cycles will start to lose capacity. The best advise I’ve seen regarding battery health is to keep it from charging to %100 everytime. As others have stated, the charging speed can also have an impact as it creates heat and heat will also wear out the battery.

    As for your specific device it seems like it’s consuming more power than the charger is giving it, so even when plugged in and turned on it may be discharging the battery still as it’s not getting enough power. Either you buy a new charger that can put out more power or you turn it off while charging it. Either case shouldn’t be bad for the battery health.
