Trying to extort the federal government like that seems like a really quick way to end up with your face, phone number and home address in a press release, along with a note from the NSA that basically says “this guy has $33 million in Bitcoin, would be a shame if someone kicked in his door and beat him with a bat until he gave up the keys :)”
Especially when “tmpfiles” is an existing term of art with a very specific meaning
its more likely than you think
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
Ikr? I’m an atheist and I know that this is probably heretical
Sounds like a great idea - I suspect the biggest obstacle will be finding someone at the home who is confident enough in what to do with it to be willing to accept it.
I’ve run into similar issues with schools where they are hesitant to accept donations of things like that because they don’t want to be saddled with equipment they don’t know how to use and maintain. Maybe worth seeing if you can raise a bit of money for a second hand Xbox or something?
My 10 year prediction - Microsoft does a full transition to a services company:
Taking donations for a specific purpose (developing jellyfin core) then spending it on something else (donations to other related projects) is something donors and tax authorities generally frown on
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 thought the bots were obnoxious now…
git-annex maybe?
Yeah, they are mostly designed for classification and inference tasks; given a piece of input data, decide which of these categories it belongs to - the sort of things you are going to want to do in near real time, where it isn’t really practical to ship off to a data centre somewhere for processing.
That’s not how Neon works. Your install will upgrade itself once the team have finished rebuilding everything on top of 24.04 - it’s happening, but it takes a bit of time

It’s coming. It takes a bit of work to make it happen
Seems pretty reasonable. At the end of the day people have to eat, so projects like this either trundle on as hobby-and-spare-time projects for a few years until people get bored and burnt out, or you find a way to make working on the project a paid gig for the core people
Yay! Don’t have an iOS device, but great that they are making progress
That sounds terrifying. At least running you have a pretty easy way to come to a safe stop if things are getting dangerous
Didn’t mean to put you off if it’s something you are interested in, just be aware with what you are dealing with going into it.
Small desktop CNCs are relatively affordable, but only cut in 2 dimensions. Laser cutters fill a similar niche, are a bit more limited in the types of materials they can cut and how thick the material can be, are a bit more forgiving than a CNC (no risk of breaking milling bits if you screw up), but have safety issues to be aware of. I’m not aware of any hobby-grade muli-axis CNC machines, but there might be ones out there
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.
