Way back when I used to go to the football with dad - kids under 5 could take the train for free, but weren’t allowed in the stadium, so I was 4 on the train, and 5 when we got to the stadium

I learnt a ton about Linux by fucking up my boot config and being too stubborn to just nuke and pave

lithium batteries

People in the office next to mine deal with prototype lithium cells and yeah, terrifying. They charge them in a special fire cabinet in case they go pop, and have buckets of sand everywhere (although the official advice is to not bother, gtfo). If you plot energy density on a line, there is an overlap between the highest density lithium cells and lowest density high explosives

True in most places with large immigrant populations, and goes double if it’s not just “<country name>” cuisine, but “<specific region in country name>”. There is a place around the corner from my work that specializes in Lanzhou beef noodles - it’s down a side street in a little shopping arcade, I’m guaranteed to be the only white guy in there but it’s absolutely fantastic food

Keycloak to provide OIDC, although in hindsight I should have gone with Authelia Authentik

Try the other suggestions, but something that has helped me is putting a thin layer of glue stick on my bed - stops the corners curling on larger prints

There are very few things more obnoxious than an asshole with unsolicited parenting advice

Most of them block everything other than ports 80 and 443, so unless you’ve set the gateway up to run on one of those ports it’ll probably not work

https://www.servethehome.com/everything-homelab-node-goes-1u-rackmount-qotom-intel-review/ would probably be a better bet for a router

His politics are about what you’d imagine to look at him - senior MP in the centre-right National party, a “slash and burn the public sector and privatise everything cos free market something something” type - but yeah, he probably came out of that whole incident ahead from now he responded to it

I moved just about everything to Route53 for registration - I run my own DNS so I don’t need to pay for that, and it’s ~40% cheaper than Gandi for better service.

Now I just need to move my .nz domain (R53 supports .{co,net,org}.nz, but not .nz itself?) and the 2 .xyz domains that are “premium” for some reason so R53 won’t touch

For anything that is related to my backup scheme, it’s printed out hard copy, put in an envelope in a fire safe in my house. I can tell you from experience there is nothing more stressful than “oh fuck I need my backups but the key to unlock the backups is in the backups fuck fuck fuck”.

And for future reference, anyone thinking about breaking into my house to get access to my backups just DM me, I’m sure we can come to an arrangement that’s less hassle for both of us

True, but silicone is 10-20x the price of TPU

Having tried similar things, I cannot stress enough how much you want to be printing molds like this in TPU unless you really really want your mold to be permanently embedded in the concrete

So I pull out my keyboard

And I pull out my Glock

And I dismount your girl

And I mount slash proc

Cos I’ve got your PID

And the bottom line

Is you best not front

Or its kill dash nine

I was in the same place as you a few years ago - I liked swarm, and was a bit intimidated by kubernetes - so I’d encourage you to take a stab at kubernetes. Everything you like about swam kubernetes does better, and tools like k3s make it super simple to get set up. There _is& a learning curve, but I’d say it’s worth it. Swarm is more or less a dead end tech at this point, and there are a lot more resources about kubernetes out there.

They are, but I think the question was more “does the increased speed of an SSD make a practical difference in user experience for immich specifically”

I suspect that the biggest difference would be running the Postgres DB on an SSD where the fast random access is going to make queries significantly faster (unless you have enough ram that Postgres can keep the entire DB in memory where it makes less of a difference).

Putting the actual image storage on SSD might improve latency slightly, but your hard drive is probably already faster than your internet connection so unless you’ve got lots of concurrent users or other things accessing the hard drive a bunch it’ll probably be fast enough.

These are all Reckons without data to back it up, so maybe do some testing

Pretty much - I try and time it so the dumps happen ~an hour before restic runs, but it’s not super critical

pg_dumpall on a schedule, then restic to backup the dumps. I’m running Zalando Postgres in kubernetes so scheduled tasks and intercontainer networking is a bit simpler, but should be able to run a sidecar container in your compose file

If you figure it out, I know several companies that would be more than willing to drop 7 figures a year to license the tech from you
