Damn. I think a few updates have happened on the App but not seen an issue yet. Guess I’ll update the docker image when an app update does break it - family don’t use it often and I don’t want to manage their phone updating the app.

Apparently docker images must be manually updated, so currently I don’t. Thanks for the info.

Does Immich auto update / breaking changes?

HexOS makes using TrueNAS easier, is the claim.

I have never used TrueNAS so I can only say from what I’ve heard that I could easily break it (I have used Proxmox to run some web tools and game servers but that’s a borked project currently).

An OS on top of TrueNAS for self hosting media.

You probably would be wise to not enact that line of logic.

Perhaps not a takeover so much as a betrayal, a backstabbing? Certainly hostile to the community.

In 2022, maintainers (…) founded the company Gitea Limited with the goal of offering hosting services using (proprietary) versions of Gitea. (…). The shift away from a community ownership model received some resistance from some contributors, which led to the formation of a software fork called Forgejo. From Wikipedia.

You’re right that the former license can’t be taken away from other instances.

Some projects chooses a license specifically to stop people taking code without sharing code back upon redistribution via copyleft (ShareAlike). Getting around that by changing the license defeats the purpose (projecting users software freedom).

There are some advantages but generally it’s better for everyone to keep their copyright to prevent a company being able to take over and then deny users the software freedoms intended by the original license.

That’s better, but is it simpler?

If the machines are in the same building a USB stick is the simplest option :D

Some value software freedom more than performance, and the open source Nouveau Nvidia driver isn’t quite there yet on performance.

The only PC fan manufacture that has not gone RGB at all is a Noctua (premium). Their fans are poop brown and beige or black for consumer, grey for industrial, but are great in terms of noise to cool performance. If noise is important then there’s videos of people comparing fans so you can pick a tone that is subjectively best.

I enjoyed the days of one color LEDS. Couldn’t beat a Tron blue or The Matrix green.

The responsiveness between a hard drive and an SSD is night and day. NVMe is even faster but not noticeable unless you move a hell of a lot of data around. A motherboard having at least 1 M.2 NVMe slot is common, so installing the OS on it is an option. Hard drives have more storage per price, but unless space is significant factor I suggest using SSDs (also quieter than a spinning disk!). More info on storage formats in this video

Recent generations of motherboards use DDR5 RAM, which were very expensive on release. I think the price has come down but I am not up to date this generation. You may be able to save money making a DDR4 system but you’ll be stuck on a less supported platform.

AMD had like ~10 years of bad/power hungry processors and Intel stagnated, re-releasing 4-core processors over and over. AMD made a big comeback with their Ryzen series becoming best bang for buck, then even over taking Intel. I think it’s pretty even now.

If you don’t intend to game or do certain compute workloads then you can avoid buying a GPU. Integrated CPUs have come quite far (still low end compared to a dedicated GPU). Crypto mining, Covid and now AI has made the GPUs market expensive and boring. Nvidia has more higher-end cards, mid range is way more expensive for both and low end sucks ass. On Linux AMD GPUs drivers come with the OS, but Nvidia you have to get their proprietary drivers (Linux gaming has come a long way).

If it’s trivially completed then why make it a “requirement”, don’t emulate business’s bad practices for no good reason.

I tend to use disposable emails so if I’m ever logged out then that account is gone. Fine by me, I hope that’s not much to process for hosters.

Can’t imagine any perceivable value of my media for family members, even if they could figure out how to use it.
Since my desktop isn’t running Windows I’m not sure my sister could just start using it instead of my old rig I gave her.

How long do SSDs last in a time capsule?

This is madness 🤯

If they’re easy to get, why have them 😑

I want it encrypted but I don’t want to ask a 3rd party to get a certificate.

Why not HTTP :c
