There are two of these in my little town. One of them was right outside my neighborhood and it got cut down earlier this month and I’m super happy about it.
I posted about them on F-book (it’s either that or Nextdoor when trying to reach people locally) when they were first installed and there were a lot of boot lickers. “It helps the police so I’m all for it”, etc.
Someone else posted more recently the the mood has shifted substantially since a year ago. People are more aware and more upset about them.


A while ago I made my first attempt at setting up a SSO for some of the things I host. I figured out things that have built in support, like Immich, but struggled with getting it done through Proxy for things that don’t have baked in OAuth or OIDC support.
I revisited it yesterday and figured everything out so I’m happy about that. Navidrome was one of the more difficult ones to figure out because I need SSO authentication for the web-ui, but username/password for the API. That was actually pretty easy once I wrapped my head around it.
I picked Authentik based on general positive things I’ve heard about it, and I use Nginx Proxy Manager for reverse proxy.
