Love Gentoo. Being using it for 20+ years and never looked back.
Using also CentOS for work, and would switch to Gentoo if I could.
Really, gentoo for everything (from laptop to headless server), but not for where a rolling release distro is not suitable (configuration control and such needs).
Been on USB enclosures using Linux software raid for 20 years and never lost a bit so far.
Didn't go cheap with USB jbod, and i have no idea if zfs is more sensitive to USB... But I don't use zfs either so don't know.
But again I have been using two jbods over USB:
All three raid are managed by Linux software raid stack.
The original one I think I started in the 2000's, then upgraded disks many times and slowly moving to ssds to lower heat production and power usage.
Keep them COOL that's important.
Rent a cheap vps and do something like I did with ssh tunneling, or wireguard VPN, between home and the vps:

(Sorry I keep posting links to my wiki but the whole point was writing once)
I see this is something different from external libraries (to which applies my other comment). It doesn't seems to be working for existing external libraries but only for new uploaded files? I will need to check this out more in deep. thanks.
Docker (better use Podman!) Is, I am afraid, hard to avoid nowadays. I fully agree with you that bare-metal deployment should always be an option.
Its one of my biggest issues with immich/photoprism/librephotos but there is no way around that.
Immich is the only container I have on my system... A necessary evil (joking).
I know containers now, but still don't like them too much. I am old I am afraid.
But you shouldn't be FORCED to use containers, that's my point.
Yes, you are right, I have updated the information.
Sport, I run, cycle or swim every day of the week. 1 hour mon-fri and 3-5 hours sat/sun.
And I went to a sport nutritionist who gave me a diet which makes me eat actually MORE (and much more balanced) than before.
Lost 15kgs in 6 months while gaining lots of muscle tissue that is heavier than fat.
Require a subdinain should not be mandatory in 2024.
Sub paths should be such a basic feature that's ridiculous devs don't even take that into consideration.
Why? Because a software requiring absolute paths is as old and obsolete as an msdos program, and the only real reason it happens today is... Bad design choices or limited frameworks.
I got eweka deal al 3.99eur. 12+3 months.
And one tought: i do despise microsoft and i dont care if any of its products seems good. They re there to infiltrate and destroy, they have always been from msdos times, and rest assured thats what they will do also with vscode/codium.
Do not fall into this trick, make good products better, dont piggy back on who showed to stick it in your rear end again and again over time.
Agreed, make sense... I dont think i will look it up tough, but thats just me and one day i will most probably.
Anyway we need more personal stories and discussione here, like it was on the other site.
They actually do, i am down the same path recently and installing authelia was the best choice I made. Still working on it.
But most stvies support either basic auth, headers auth, oidc or similar approaches. Very few don't.
