I find the pricing structure a little odd. I think it's expensive for individuals (selfishly, as this is the group I would be in), and it seems way cheap to me for advisors. I'm admittedly not in the financial world, but I would think the value-add for advisors would make this a no-brainer.

If a few people are starting to complain about pricing, then maybe I'm finally in the right ballpark now haha. I do also offer general discounts on request (form on pricing page).

I personally built a NAS and use unraid on it along with (dockerized) resilio sync, and it works great for my purposes of local backup from multiple sources.

Seconding BunnyCDN. I use it with https://lftp.yar.ru/ in reverse mirror mode to upload/update my generated public/ folder. Easy and cheap!

Tildes will never surpass reddit, as it makes the same capital mistake: try shoehorn multiple communities on the same platform under the same rules. I think the federated alternatives - even though less time tested - will prove better in the long run. Communities can better police their own content, but still be able to interact with other communities through a federation mechanism.

Can't you just share a volume to the image? That's not hacky (in my opinion).

There was some quirky edge case that made that not possible. I don't remember what it was, as this was a couple years ago.

I was researching this a few months ago, but gave up upon the cat facial recognition. The best I could find for the raspberry pi was opencv haar filters for humans, and that was just detecting if a face was present in the video frame. I'm curious, how are you planning on doing cat facial detection for this?

maybe he has a white cat and a black cat... but I would probably use RFID chips in their collar.

That's what I'm trying first. RFID range is an issue, however. The electronics for this is easy, the problem is that I suck at carpentry.

The cats in question are pretty different (one black, one orange), so discrimination in visible light is easy. Not sure about IR yet.
