Thank you for the PSA good friend!

I feel for Framework. They’re not a big company like Apple with any sway. Even Apple had to raise its prices, which speaks to the state of the market.

We should care, vibe coded projects are not maintainable.

I didn’t give them their own accounts but you can if you want to.

It does. My Immich installation is behind a reverse proxy, and I simply share the link to the albums with friends and family.

FYI, all the tests use Nvidia GPUS.

The author of the blog is living in dreamland. Microsoft will never release Windows Lite because, to management, Windows is a conduit for AI and subscriptions.

Linux is the answer.

Downside: breaking changes are fairly common AFAIK.

This is no longer the case after the version 2.0 release. Version 2.0 is the stable release: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/22546

Public-facing services need at least a minimum level of security protection. All of my services are protected by the reverse proxy Caddy, and Crowdsec protects my system and services from malicious bots. My Flirt 2’s firewall bans all malicious bots that Crowdsec discovers.

I suggested a friend to try out Bazzite (KDE desktop). He told me it felt like he was playing on a console because everything works from the get go. He didn’t have to tweak or install anything.

Interesting:

The company blamed the expense of running the platform as a reason behind the decision, **but a shift to a more AI-focused business seems to be the real culprit. **

Management makes me laugh. They often make decisions on a whim without thorough planning. In my opinion, AI is here to stay. However, as companies like Ford have realized, you cannot replace humans with AI. AI is simply a tool for humans.

Yay… It will be expensive to build an AM4 system now…

I selfhost because I want to be in control of my data and own it. Closed software is the antithesis of that. They’re just bots trying to advertise their software.
