Procrastination protecting them from losing their money! Is there anything procrastination can’t do?

I do nightly borg backups of much more than 200gb. The idea of incremental backups is you’re only doing the changes, and photos don’t tend to change.

What challenge did you come across with a 200GB backup?

• Is it like anything else I might be familiar with to help me understand better? (Note: almost 70 so may need old references.)

Reddit was mentioned, but that explains the format of this site, that people post stuff and people can upvote stuff they like to make it more visible to others.

But I haven’t (so far) seen anyone mention something similar to answer the question as to why there are so many different sites here. People from lemmy.world, lemmy.ca, lemmy.nz, and others are all participating here, all on their own sites but all somehow connected.

The old (and still well used) equivalent here is email. Email is a federated service, it’s not hosted by one company, anyone can operate an email server and in fact it’s very common. Emails look perhaps like [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected]. the part after the @ tells your email provider how to reach the server of the person you are emailing. You’ll notice user names can look similar to an email address, but have an @ at the beginning to identify them as separate from email addresses.

But yes, as others have mentioned, lemmy.world is the largest lemmy website, run by some people called the Fedihosting Foundation. Anyone can sign up there, and anyone can create a community there. It seems very unlikely there is an official relationship between Lemmy.world and Perchance.

Woah woah woah, 5 years? I can’t pretend to be a good worker for that long

You could use lemmy.world. They allow creating communities and if you follow the instructions your account will be auto-approved instantly.

Another is https://sh.itjust.works/ which is another general audience instance that allows creating communities.

For reference you can get the default lemmy experience at https://l.lemdro.id/

However, Lemmy allows admins to disable the ability to create communities. It looks like they have used this option.

You could always create a community somewhere that does allow it by signing up for a new account there, then appoint your original account as moderator. You should be able to continue from there as if it was on your own instance.

Huh, from Wikipedia:

Linehan became involved in anti-transgender activism after an episode of The IT Crowd was criticised as transphobic. He argues that transgender activism endangers women and has likened the use of puberty blockers to Nazi eugenics. Linehan says his views have “consumed his life”, lost him work, and ended his marriage.[3]

Not just a thoughtless transphobic episode but actually a campaign of hate that consumes his life.

Brand recognition is important. I have heard for many ads they don’t care if you pay attention so long as you hear/see it briefly, because you will be more likely to pick their product later when it’s the name you recognise even (especially) if you don’t remember why you know it.

Well according to the OP, it’s a list they offer for free and it’s integrated with many browsers including Firefox…

Where I work they use the microsoft phishing simulation, for which they publish a list of domains they send from.

If I’m on my local network hosting my locally hosted services, I do.

Can confirm, I’ve recently got some cameras and set up Frigate and it’s been great. Not using Reolink but the ones I have work well enough. I have a TPLink that I like, and a Hilook starlight camera that I am not convinced on as it doesn’t seem to have auto-exposure adjustment. Both work well for object detection, though there’s a bit of a learning curve with frigate needing to be configured via YAML for a lot of things.

I’ve also started playing with Frigate’s face detection but I don’t think the cameras are really positioned for it. It probably makes more sense for a front door camera getting a good view of the person.

I’ve also got Home Assistant picking up the frigate camera streams which works well too.

I have a domain I keep because it’s short, but my main one is more memorable. I just don’t want to lose the short one, I’m sure I’ll find a use for it one day.

Yup, seems the issue for this is still open.

I have local storage for my photos, then backup to object storage using Borgmatic and Rclone to B2. But you’re right, you can’t directly use object storage with Immich.

Local storage on a VPS is expensive, and I’ve never been happy with a lower powered server serving media. Personally I self-host and send a backup to Backblaze B2 for offsite (using Rclone).

I use Borgmatic for incremental, deduplicated backups but make sure you save your encryption key somewhere you can access it if your house burns down.

I think you might be right. Others are talking about a rocky start but reading through the recent release notes it seems like a potentially unrelated issue with a release of a new timeline.

I’m really happy to see this post acknowledge speed issues where there are many items, 100k+. I have around this and have always found Immich to be laggy, while others say how it’s the fastest ever.

I will have to give it another go.

Consider the implications if ChatGPT started saying “I don’t know” to even 30% of queries – a conservative estimate based on the paper’s analysis of factual uncertainty in training data. Users accustomed to receiving confident answers to virtually any question would likely abandon such systems rapidly.

I think we would just be more careful with how we used the technology. E.g. don’t autocomplete code if the threshold is not met for reasonable certainty.

I would argue that it’s more useful having a system that says it doesn’t know half the time than a system that’s confidently wrong half the time
