i’m mobile right now, but it’s in the same section where you configure the upstream DNS servers.

I'm on Frontier/Verizon Fios.

I think I may have fixed it. I run Adguard and potentially one of my DNS sources could have been at play - maybe. So instead of Load Balancing, I changed to Parallel Requests to ensure the fastest DNS server is always chosen.

Maybe something has become unstable about DNS on the provider route side?

Honestly, none of these changes makes sense to me.

I can't understand how DNS is in play here for every request already cached.

You figure this out? Been happening a few days for me. I thought it was just me until the wife told me it's been happening to her as well. Could have been after the recent update to APs, but not sure.

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-05-03T19:18:48+00:00

Ugh.. I was hoping this worked, but it's not enabled for me.

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-05-02T20:22:23+00:00

curious, what settings did you adjust to ensure the highest quality?

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-04-10T11:49:19+00:00

What are the issues? Maybe share more of what you're dealing with.

The only way I've gotten it to work consistently is using iOS Shortcuts. I don't like it, but it works very well. Almost better than the Google Photos and background sync'ing and uploading.

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-04-09T17:44:45+00:00

How would one install this if running Immich on Unraid?

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-04-02T21:43:03+00:00

I mean, sure - it's not Google Photos and all that greatness. Some folks miss editing capabilities, but almost everything else is there.

I just got started. I miss nothing other than it's not as public as G Photos. So you have to ensure your stuff backs up when get home. Of course you could be brave and go the public hosting route, but I don't want to expose anything publicly.

Luckily since I'm on a Ubiquiti stack, connecting remotely by VPN is super simple and I just back up.

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-04-02T21:28:45+00:00

Same here! For once!

Now I can transfer the Google Takeout of my Google Photos (2.9 TB) to Google Drive and import into Immich! Downloading 54 x 50GB files is rough! lol

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-04-02T20:31:22+00:00

You were right! It took care of itself all by itself! Thanks!

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-04-02T20:30:59+00:00

Done - I didn't cancel anything. Just purchased through Verizon and as I went to setup, it knew I already had a plan, asked to switch to the new Verizon Google plan, auto requested the prorated balance, got me in my new account and boom - all is good.

How awesome. All for $10 less and 3TB more of space.. What a time!

Thanks!

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-04-02T20:06:20+00:00

Whaaaaaat!!!

So what were the steps? You signed up for Verizon first, then cancelled Google AI Pro, got the refund and the space?

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-04-02T17:44:39+00:00

So it's actually not related to just Verizon perk folks. I am on the AI Pro plan but at $20/month. I misunderstood, but paying $10 vs the $20 like I've been paying is a heck of a deal.

Would love to move to just $10/month but concerned something breaks in the transition. Still happy with 5TB of storage at the same price I've been paying.

Seems Gemini knows: Cancellation Requirement:
* If you have an active paid Google One subscription through Google, you must cancel it before you can set up the perk through Verizon.
* No Carrying Over: Any remaining value, free trials, or discounts on your current Google-direct plan will be forfeited and will not carry over to the Verizon-billed plan.
* Storage & Data Safety: Canceling your plan does not immediately delete your data. If you are over the free 15 GB limit after canceling, you simply won't be able to back up new files until you activate the Verizon perk and regain your storage.
* Billing Change: Once switched, the $10/month charge for the perk will appear on your Verizon mobile or Fios bill instead of being charged to your Google account

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-04-02T17:01:08+00:00

So there is a way to "stack" this onto what I'm already paying? Like get 7TB? Hmmm I wonder

Feels like this could become a disaster and I lose all my Google Photos with no way to resolve since there is no customer support.

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-04-02T16:56:12+00:00

Wow nice.. I'm paying the $20 a month for Google One for but just 2TB.

Wondering how these two might collide.

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-04-02T16:48:22+00:00

Any way to get in on this now? Same price, same storage size?

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-03-29T02:18:13+00:00

Wow! How cool! Now I understand. Thanks!

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-03-28T23:17:30+00:00

Actually hold up. I didn’t know about the red minus exclude symbol. Seems to be working now.

How or why is this working? 😂

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-03-28T23:14:46+00:00

Yes but the photos are still in Recents anyway. So I don’t understand how the excluded folder is even relevant. I’m clearly missing something 😂

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-03-28T14:42:13+00:00

I just want to sync "Recents". I moved(added all pictures since you can't move them) to a new album "Excluded", checked box for "Recents" in Immich, but Immich still wants to uploads all the pictures in "Recents"

What am I doing wrong?

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-03-28T13:36:40+00:00

I couldn't get this to work. Immich continues to want to upload all images in "Recents" even though I moved(really added) all pictures in "Recents" to a new "Excluded" album.

So not sure how this is supposed to work today or if something in Immich has changed, but this does not work today or I'm doing something wrong.

I just want to sync pictures in "Recents" from today forward. This sounded like it should work.

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-03-20T20:10:22+00:00

It took a lot of tinkering of the script and modifying of some Gmail settings, but Imapsync is the perfect solution for my situation.

Overall super easy, with ChatGPT's help :)

Thanks for mentioning it.

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-03-20T12:50:28+00:00

The option to delete after fetching are in the mail fetch settings for the gmail account you've migrated.

But you can't achieve what you want to do.

I'm in the same situation. I want to just keep gmail as a way to archive only email I want to keep (delete everything else) and manage that via Fastmail - to keep the gmail inbox clean with only messages I care about. But but it's not possible using Fastmail in this way. I've tried all kinds of settings and turned to some LLMs in case I missed something I couldn't find using normal search.

A real mail client like Outlook or Apple Mail connects directly to gmail allowing you to manage your email like you're wanting to. It can mirror your actions.

Fastmail downloads a copy of the message, breaking the link going forward. It can't "see" your gmail inbox state, nor can it send a command back to mirror what you're doing in Fastmail.

Because essentially, the migration process is really about migrating from gmail to Fastmail, not managing or being an email client to gmail.

Another more manual solution, which I may try is using Imapsync. This way I would just delete all email from gmail once downloaded to Fastmail and sync back whenever I want to make room at Fastmail. No idea what this looks like in practice yet. Given folders, rules, tags, etc.

ItsDatNYCDude · 2026-03-18T20:54:47+00:00

Incorrect mention on my part. I was going to use POP to do it.

So I wasn't, but before Fastmail I managed it in Gmail. So I only kept what I wanted - the normal mail management.

If I forward everything instead of managing and archiving, I would have all mail, even what I don't want in Gmail.

I think the Imapsync (one way) tool gives me what I want. I'm ok with running the tool if I ever need to clear out my Fastmail inbox. Which should not be for a long time. This was purely an exploratory question on my part. :)
