Google Photos isn't free. You are the product.

Also it's literally not free, it's cheaper to host Immich than it is to pay for storage indefinitely

I think you can select all folders, I recommend taking the path I did. Run Immich in parallel with Google-Photos for a few months and see if you like it.

I did so an synced my camera roll from my phone (~6000 photos) and it works great. I also added some family members etc. and they also like it.

Now in the process of moving everything over.

Yes, although I don't know thaaaat much about the details. So my mind can be changed if I'm missing something.

It would be great if there was kind of cleanup plugin for Immich.

Like Tinder for pics you want to keep or dump. I could spend 10min every day in the train to swipe left or right on pics I want to keep or remove.

I'm a fan, people shouldn't vote for a person but for representatives. And those representatives should have power based on how many votes they have and decide on laws.

I like how the EU works, it's flawed in ways but there is no huge concentration of power in one person.

Billionaires control both the Democrats and the Republicans.

As long as the two party system exists a candidate that isn't in the pocket of Oligarchs doesn't stand a chance.

Money wins elections in the US

I'm doing my part

Yea it sucks, but quality is important so I get it.

Jip if you try to "pull" water higher than 10m at sea level it starts to boil because the pressure drops that low.

Your completely missing my point.

The speed and size doesn't matter if the odds of them hitting something is essentially zero.

No these drunk tourists aren't getting hit by cars because the infrastructure and roads are properly designed with pedestrians and bicyclists as top priority.

If you manage to get hit by a car you didn't necessarily fuck up, lots of cities like in the US are extremely dangerous to walk because cars are passing really close to pedestrians at high speeds.

It all comes down to road design and infrastructure.

You say I ignored your question, you ignored mine.

You don't know what good infrastructure looks like. Prove me wrong, What city have you lived in with good infrastructure?

[–] Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social -1 points 3 months ago (3 children)

By your logic airplanes are EXTREMELY dangerous to pedestrians because they go ~800km/h and would instantly kill anyone they hit.

Sure getting hit by a bus is more deadly than getting hit by a bicycle, but if your odds of getting hit are essentially zero then that chances the equation.

Again, I don't think you understand what good infrastructure looks like, what city would you say you've spent time in that has the best infrastructure in your opinion?

 

While in thought, sometimes something funny pops up, or I make a 'joke' and laugh at it, not always audibly but that does happen.

I wondered how common that is, so thought I'd ask, How often do you laugh at your own thoughts?

 

It's rare that I'm not juggling doing 6 different things at the same time.

I feel if I remember to do something I need to immediately get that ball rolling, else I will completely forget about it, and end up half doing dozens of things.

Currently in the process of looking up a new hairstyle, updating my immich server, making a PieFed post, getting ready for and appointment and probably some other things I'll remember in a bit

How it started: mp80
I bought a MiniPC (Blackview MP-80) to run Home Assistant and some lights etc. to go with it.

It's now exactly one year later this is what my setup looks like now:
BMAX B2 Pro --> Home Assistant OS Blackview MP-80 --> Proxmox --> Nextcloud-AIO & Immich
ODROID H4+ --> Proxmox --> TrueNAS

How it's going: odroid
With the heatwave in Europe I've now installed cooling to keep my HDD's from heating up.

I know it's Janky as hell, but I love it. The plan going forward is to buy a 3D Printer so that I can 3D Print a custom 10" rack, and I'll build my own cooling and temperature monitoring system with ESP32 and create a dashboard for it in Home Assistant and sorting out networking.

It's a work in progress, having a lot of fun learning and adding new things.

Update: https://piefed.social/post/1356740

 

So I've got a couple of Mini PC's and a ODROID H4+ as a NAS, all just standing on my desk at the moment.

I'm going to build them into a 10" Rack and I'd like to have a good cooling solution.

My idea is to buy something like this https://www.alternate.nl/Noctua/NA-FH1-fancontroller/html/product/1917195 And wire it up with a ESP32 board and temperature probes, so that I can connect it all to a dashboard in Home Assistant.

Any advice on this project, or better alternatives would be appreciated.

 

I wanted to spotlight a quietly massive success story in European digital sovereignty: GendBuntu - France’s custom Ubuntu distribution used by the National Gendarmerie.

The GendBuntu project derives from Microsoft's decision to end the development of Windows XP Back in 2005, France’s Gendarmerie began switching from Microsoft products to open-source software - starting with OpenOffice. Fast forward to 2024, and GendBuntu(Linux) is now running on 97% of their workstations (over 103,000 computers!).

France has shown what’s possible when a government actually backs open-source, in-house, and EU-grown solutions.
More countries should follow suit.
