  • I passed through twice, had to be in the Netherlands for work and while I was there my partner visited family in the UK. So we took a week off after and met in Brussels before going to Ghent and Bruges and back to Brussels before heading back to the UK.

    That first day we did wander and go to some of the sights (we aren’t very touristy) but really liked it. If you ever are back in the area, I highly recommend Ghent!






  • We aim to introduce additional paid services (not paywalled features, as we will never implement paywalled features), which will help support the project and that enhance self-hosting, making it easier and more reliable. First among the many services already planned is an end-to-end encrypted, off-site backup and restore feature, built directly into Immich. This will enable a buddy backup feature as well.

    I love this.

    Free features, but offering actual useful services for self-hosters (encrypted cloud backup). Great business model for a project like this.














  • Controversial, but: Skill issue.

    I do a lot of FOSS work. I dont write docs for everyone most of the timr. I write docs for those already educated on most of the items. This still applies, and is accessible to anyone:

    If you don’t know the word, look it up in the dictionary.

    I don’t want to downplay frustrations, I know those are real, but most people writing these things aren’t paid.

    Note: If a Dev complains their idea isn’t adopted and the docs suck, that’s another story.

    Edit: And the article seems to be by a career writer, so it makes sense from their perspective, but some more expansive thinking on their part about how a developer isn’t staffed to do their job, too, would be helpful.
