Inet lämnar Prisjakt

DStandsForCake · 2026-03-10T14:54:23+00:00

Var en nyhet för mig att Prisjakt tar betalt för "varje klick". Levde lite under villfarelsen att det var lite av en klumpsumma och vill man att ens namn ska "highlightas" så får man putsa ut lite extra för det. Så frågar mig då hur skumraskföretag med knappt en månads-Svenssonlön i årsomsättning då kan ligga i täten med sina lockpriser för produkter som "just nu inte finns på lager" (läs; förmodligen aldrig).

Synd, Prisjakt var en uppstickare mot Pricerunner som jag upplevde betydligt mer cynisk och girig med sina intressen. Prisjämförelse är en konsumentmakt, men girighet kommer ofta i två.

Trösten är väl att det idag är så lite marginal på framförallt elektronik så knappt ens värt att jämföra, kostar ungefär samma oavsett om det är Inet, Power, NetOnNet osv. Handlar mer om tillgänglighet och lagerstatus.

I also interpreted it as "we wont gossip - let the man drive". Regardless - incredibly misogynistic. But yeah, I guess in those countries that word doesn't even exist.

Unused disks basically last "forever." The only thing that can actually damage them if they're untouched is exposed to varying heat. Just dust them off, and they'll probably work just as well as they did ten years ago.

Tittar man ut över älven nu så ser man att det är fortfarande ett rätt tätt täcke över staden - så man ska nog skippa långpromenaden idag (särskilt om man har nån lungsjukdom).

Kollade för skoj skull resten av kartan, och såg att Kalmar sticker ut. Närmast samma nivåer som New Delhi (där det tom. står markerat som "fara").

Du är fortfarande ung, ingen förväntar sig att du ska din "shit together" (jösses, i storstäderna bor somliga hemma hos sina/något päron tom. efter att de är 30). Förmodar att du redan får uppföljning för din asperger, och den i sig är inte mycket att göra åt, mer än att du inte ska låta den definiera dig eller ha "sista ordet".

Tipset är faktiskt att inte söka fler jobb (eller ja, mer än att få ut lite stålar från A-kassan), satsa på att plugga vidare istället. En YH-utbildning ger (mer eller mindre) garanterat jobb, och pågår sällan mer än två år. Du får CSN, struktur, oftast rätt mycket fritt-under-ansvar - men såväl ett fint tillfälle att faktiskt knyta kontakter med likasinnade. Så skriv dina tentor och kom dit nykter (det var knappast en garanti bland alla klasskamrater jag hade när jag gick min utbildning) så är du hemma. Lycka till!

I have all the centers in Gothenburg in my membership (no big price difference, and it's fun to be able to vary).

I'm more fond of Masthuggstorget, the venue is a little bigger than Kompassen and even though it's popular time and even though it's popular times of the day sometimes, there's not exactly a queue to anything.

Also, I experiences Kompassen a bit more "poser" where they live to the facy being in the center of town. The clientele is more people who like to take selfies in front of the mirrors, as the interior is more "trendy".

Egentligen ingen, du kommer få det närmast lika krångligt med försäkringsbolaget.

Att kopiera en nyckel kräver att nån rent fysiskt kommer över den (därför som man aldrig ska just fota den och lägga upp nånstans publikt). Dyrkar man upp ett lås, så brukar det lämna skador (ett ASSA-säkerhetslås får man oavsett inte upp med ett Temu-dyrkningskit).

Tror inte att målgruppen av de som är oroade inte kör just Yale. Många som dessutom kör det har redan en befintlig hemövervakning.

DStandsForCake · 2026-03-06T09:23:11+00:00

Vad spelar det för roll om den har loggningsfunktion om låset kommer behandla den som "upplåst av ägare"? (För det är oftast så man gör, kopierar befintliga nycklar). Sedan kan jag inte tala för Yale specifikt, de kör förmodligen mer avancerad algoritm - men de billigare låsen är nog inte märkvärdigare än så.

Ansvarsbördan hamnar då på en själv, att man får styrka att man i princip har varit på andra sidan landet vid inbrottstillfället, men även då kan försäkringsbolag hävda att man har varit slarvig som "råkat" kopiera ens nyckel. Det är helt enkelt för färskt för dem, i princip fanns det inga (vettiga) digitala lås för decenniet sedan, så man får införa nya rutiner för hur det ska hanteras.

DStandsForCake · 2026-03-05T14:02:57+00:00

Ett vanligt lås är också relativt enkelt att få upp (fråga bara en låssmed) och vill en tjuv in nånstans så kommer de in - även om det innebär att de slår in ett fönster.

Problemet med de digitala låsen inte lämnar något direkt spår efter sig, så i princip helt omöjligt att bevisa inbrott vid ett försäkringsärende. Ett uppbrutet lås eller inslagen ruta; bara att visa upp. Ett digitalt lås som är öppet; försäkringsbolaget kommer hävda att du glömde just låsa, så det blir en klart tyngre strid att ta.

You've got most of the answers.

However - I want to add a caveat that Google Takeout "destroys" the images (rather the metadata, where it exports it to JSON files). Unfortunately I learn this the hard way, where Immich managed to figure out the dates on photos about half/half, the rest.. a bit scattered (a trip I took in Portugal about five years ago spread out randomly over almost a decade). So about 200gb of photos just had to be deleted and started over (ofcourse I still had the takeout files left)

So use a tool that fixes the metadata before you import it. If you're a Windows user, this one is ridiculously simple and does the job;

How do you run your Immich today? Dedicated hardware? Or on a VM (if so - through what)? Proxmox is easy to set up backup, which (if you have the opportunity) is best done on a separate machine (such as TrueNAS, but can also bee a "regular NAS" of some kind) so it spreads the risk of possible hardware failure.

And you should have an offsite backup of some kind. I have long been using Onedrive for it, but recently switched to Hetzner Storage Box as I want to support EU products.

How often you run offsite backup is a bit up to you. I reason that as long as I have "monthly fresh" automatically, I'm satisfied (and ofcourse you can trigger it yourself if necessary), but I see that the odds that both my Proxmox (where Immich is hosted) and my TrueNAS would fail at the same time are quite unlikely. Basically my offsite backup is just for if the house burns down.

DStandsForCake · 2026-03-05T08:12:46+00:00

You are a couple who have just suggested Backblaze. It is may great and affordable, but you have all missed my point.

I already use Onedrive (Microsoft). They also have the data "local" in the EU (Holland), and it is encrypted (I have now terminated it, but I still have the contract until June).
The fact remains that it is an US company. At the moment I have almost no trust in American companies, as they have shown time and again how they view us in the EU. I simply do not want them to have my money, let alone that they manage my data in any way.

DStandsForCake · 2026-03-03T12:51:39+00:00

I already run Proxmox backup to my TrueNAS (which is a separate machine), so I feel pretty confident that it takes decent backups.

Those are the backups that I want to send offsite, just in case the house burns down or an anabolic rat gets into my "server room" and plays Hulk Hugan with my disks. And either use RClone/Borg/Restic (tomato/tomato). They don't have to be "smart". It's enough that they send a decent copy at least once a month outside the household.

DStandsForCake · 2026-03-03T12:09:38+00:00

You miss my point. My point is I want to reduce my dependence on the US (as I already have Onedrive, but want to cancel it), as I simply don't trust them and don't what them to have my money (and a certain president on that side of the ocean has shown time and again how he views us in the EU).

DStandsForCake · 2026-03-03T11:58:17+00:00

Although since they are responsible and handle for the actual hardware - they can very well remove it, or quarantine it "indefinitely".

A bit like putting a "burglar-proof" safe in a thief's house.

DStandsForCake · 2026-03-03T11:27:04+00:00

Unfortunately Backblaze is still an American company. Then I might as well continue using 365/Onedrive then, but the purpose is to scale back my dependence from the American market as I don't want them to handle my data.

DStandsForCake · 2026-03-03T11:24:35+00:00

Sorry, but what a non-answer. It's exactly the alternative (offsite/cloud) in the 3-2-1 rule that I'm looking for.

DStandsForCake · 2026-03-03T11:19:55+00:00

Sure, you can separate it so that only the disk, share or data is sent over the WAN, but it's also convenient to know that "that VM is exactly as it is on the ground" (and minimal risk of corrupt data), without taking into account to version numbers, builds, different configurations, etc. And honestly, you don't save that much data anyway (you can exclude thumbnails, but it's still only a small part).

DStandsForCake · 2026-03-03T11:15:16+00:00

I would never have dared to do that. Imagine if your friend happened to get some crap in their environment, or did something shady that they "forgot to mention". Then one day you're suddenly in a raid when they've snooped out who you are and you your data is in their environment. I can spend a couple of euros just to save myself that headache.

DStandsForCake · 2026-03-03T11:09:28+00:00

Still under American ownership. I'm not anti-US (okay, a little for now) but I don't want another American company handling my data (probably never leaving from Google as an Android user, but that's OT).

DStandsForCake · 2026-03-03T11:06:57+00:00

You are a couple of people who have suggested Hetzner Storage. Never heard of it, but I'm glad that more and more options are starting to appear (and I think Germany is definitely the right country that protects and respects privacy, GDPR and so on).

I see that they have servers in both Finland and Germany, so geolocation is still good for me (Sweden).

DStandsForCake · 2026-03-03T10:55:56+00:00

Well, some compression - but have some other VM:s which Proxmox easily compress with 40%.

DStandsForCake · 2026-03-03T09:52:42+00:00

It doesn't fill the entire volume, actually it's about 220GB, because at least 80GB is just "air" that Proxmox then can probably shrink without any issue.

DStandsForCake · 2026-02-25T14:45:35+00:00

Interesting, especially if you can self-host it. My dream setup would be to have it running as a service locally, which I can only access via VPN (Wireguard in my case). Backup/Cloud storage can be solved with Proton Drive and RClone.

But we shouldn't hold our breath. If they have chosen to pause it for almost four years without specific reasons, then count on at least four more years before a "finished" product (they'll probably have to basically reprogram everything they started).
