Trash is a great place to start. There was another guy I found helpful, too. Dr Frankenstein, I think? Also, I can’t remember where I found the swag write-up I used for my current setup, but swag/dockerproxy are awesome. No open ports on the router, and automatic subdomain/SSL setup w/ Cloudlfare by adding 1 label to the compose file.

Only 2 notes I have about Trash guides are:

1. Include some kind of ingest directory for qbittorrent. Helpful when you want to d/l a torrent that’s not managed by one of the arrs. Just save it there and thy will be done!
2. Pay close attention to the quality settings. Most don’t have a fallback quality. So if you say you want 4k for movies, it will often fail to find something, especially if it’s older, and you have to go see why, change the quality to 1080, etc. Instead, use the quality guide to understand how it works, and set up what you want with appropriate fallback. For example, I prefer to get 720p for TV. Especially w/ long running shows they can take up A LOT of space, even at 1080! BUT sometimes 720 just isn’t available. 1080 is usually the first thing that comes out, so I add 1080 as second choice. For older shows, I add DVD quality as third choice, HDTV next, and 480p last (probably have those last two backwards). This way, it will pretty much always get something decent, and if the quality I want is ever released, I have it configured to continually search. Looking over the Trash guides definitely helped me dial this in, but I’m not using the stock version of any of their presets.

One thing I need to figure out is identifying shows that have hearing disabled tracks as their default/only. I’ve been watching Taskmaster, and lots of the episodes in more recent seasons have the descriptive voice-over that’s annoying to me since I don’t need it.

I want to say Dreams of Code (or his other channel Dreams of Autonomy?) did a video on VOS setup where he secured the connection between VPS and home. I think he used Tailscale. I’ll see if I can find the video.

I think Rage Against the Machine should’ve just avoided the studio altogether. They were so good live. Killing in the Name is great.

Haven’t seems Muse since Black Holes, but they were also very good live.

While I was living with my fiancée, we eventually had to get rid of the first couch I had ever bought for myself. Her kids had broken one of the back supports, and we’d already replaced it. It snowed that night, and our old couch looked so lonely.

It’s a throwaway address I use for online vendors. Most of those get an addy.io address nowadays, but Reddit still goes to the original address.

TL;DR: I’m aware, thanks.

AFAIK, it actually doesn’t require modification of the original file at all. It can be done with a metadata change in a sidecar file.

Yes you can do all of that, but it’s saved as a separate asset that is not related in any way to the original. That’s the issue. Also, it would be nice to be able to do these things in the web app as well.

As for syncing, if all your phones are logged into Immich as the same user, you wouldn’t have any issues syncing photos. I don’t thing Immich currently allows sharing assets between users. That can be troublesome for family albums.

I don’t think so. I think for any kind of editing, they’d need to implement some kind of asset versioning.

I think this highlights the difficulty with “basic” image editing. For example, with G Photos or Mac Photos, or others, you can edit, and the edited version is what you’ll see by default going forward, but the original is still there. This is why I highlighted rotation. That’s strictly a metadata change, AFAIK. Last thing I read on their site was they were hung up getting it to work properly with HEIF.

I believe Piwigo had the first feature you mention. Actually, there are quite a few things from Piwigo I’d love to see implemented in Immich. One that was pretty unique was designating an image as the back of another one, for scanned files. Niche, but really useful in those cases.

Very cool post. I didn’t mean to denigrate the dev team at all. They’ve done incredible work, and I’ve read some of the threads about rotation. They’re definitely aware of the issue, and they want to make sure it’s done right, which I appreciate. Also, it’s FOSS, so I don’t want to be negative about the outlook when its users already get so much more than they pay for!

Still, it’s such a thorn in my side!

From my testing today, you can only rotate a photo using the mobile app, and even then you have to save it locally and re-upload the rotated photo. Thus creating a separate, mostly duplicate photo! This is essentially a metadata orientation update, or it could be more. Immich seems to incorrectly orient a lot of photos that other applications have no problem with. The devs are aware of it and have been discussing this since at least 2022, possibly longer. There are also a number of feature/pull requests on the github page covering rotation, photo editing, cropping, etc. Personally, I don’t care about editing/cropping. I consider those edits which should result in a separate asset, possibly linked back to the original.

For me, this is probably the biggest missing feature for Immich. They’ve done some really amazing things in the past couple years, but this seemingly basic feature remains missing.

Jelly beans, Burma Shave, and brimstone.

Y’all expect to get real news from a .ml community!?

Write a 2-page essay, by hand, covering why the US Constitution lays out the government it does. Do this alone with a proctor watching. The paper will be anonymously graded by a panel of high school teachers. If you get less than an A, you can’t run.

Also take AP Government and History tests. Also need an A on those.

Finally, live 6 months on your country’s median income in your country’s capital city. No outside help. Apply for, and take on a job where you aren’t “running” something, but rather “doing” something.

Coming soon from the SCOTUS: “But in this specific case, that’s not true. No precedent . Just this one time.”

English is fluid. Give it time.

This was my immediate thought. An M1 Mac laptop is still a very useable laptop, and the battery life on them is fantastic.

T480s is my backup work laptop. Runs Linux fine (have had Ubuntu, currently Fedora 42). Runs windows 11 like shit, but then my primary P1 gen 4 also doesn’t run 11 much better, so…
