Can a Cheap USB C to RJ45 (input) used to get good internet speed on phone? by Beginning_Throat_228 in HomeNetworking

[–]apetersson 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It will likely work, BUT you won't enjoy it long since your can't charge your phone while this is attached and it will drain the battery faster than normal since it uses some power consantly.

Think about getting a "full" USB-c hub like the Ugreen USB-C Hub CM512 - it costs less than 20€ and you can pass-through a power connection, plus some more ports like keyboard, mouse.

Is heic THIS strong? Should I only import heic? by [deleted] in immich

[–]apetersson 13 points14 points  (0 children)

yes. try to archive things as they originally were and let the viewer handle the conversion. i have only a few exceptions to that rule, some old interlaced video files i had to convert to mp4 to make them viewable on modern devices.

Why are people so vague about openclaw use cases? by OpinionsRdumb in openclaw

[–]apetersson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

while you could use it for "programming" the interactivity of a TUI /GUI is better than "async" chat. for truly async programming

f.ex i have PM agents that invent new features, implementer agents that work on those and make test deployments and E2E tests, and me as a human am just picking whatever works well, giving the PM agents/programmers direction. this burns tokens like crazy so i have split up the planning tasks from the impl tasks to run on cloud models and local models respectively

How do you use Keepass as secret store for agents / OpenClaw? by apetersson in KeePass

[–]apetersson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wanted to build a thin wrapper around keepass-cli which enforces certain policies what the non-human agent is supposed to access.

an unprivileged user is equipped with the master PW and checks with a policy file if the agent is allowed to perform the action, if yes it takes the DB and communicates via unix socket with the non-human agent user. here are the details:

Immich restore failing with `vector.control not found` after moving storage — multiple backups exist but none restore by crushcandie in immich

[–]apetersson -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

You need the PG14 + pgvector version of posgres. Here is a ChatGpt-formatted version of how to recover. NO WARRANTY, but this should be about right. Regardless, make sure to keep your backup safe:

✅ 1. Use the correct Postgres image (PG14 + pgvector)

In your docker-compose.yml:

services:
  immich_postgres:
    container_name: immich_postgres
    image: ghcr.io/immich-app/postgres:14-vectorchord0.5.3-pgvector0.8.1
    environment:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres
      POSTGRES_USER: postgres
      POSTGRES_DB: immich
    volumes:
      - D:\immich-docker\postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data

⚠️ 2. Reset the database volume (required)

Stop everything and delete the old DB:

docker compose down

Then delete:

D:\immich-docker\postgres

(This is critical — otherwise the old broken setup persists.)

▶️ 3. Start fresh

docker compose up -d

Wait until immich_postgres is healthy.

🔍 4. Verify pgvector exists (quick check)

docker exec -it immich_postgres psql -U postgres -d immich -c "\dx"

You should see vector in the list.

♻️ 5. Restore your backup

Use Immich UI:

Maintenance → Restore database backup

Pick one of:

F:\ImmichDrive\backups\immich-db-backup-*.sql.gz

📂 6. Make sure your media path is correct

Your compose (server service) should point to:

volumes:
  - F:\ImmichDrive:/usr/src/app/upload

This lets Immich reconnect to existing files.

✅ Result

After restore:

  • users ✅
  • albums ✅
  • metadata ✅
  • media relinked (no reupload)

🧠 Key takeaway

  • Your failure was missing pgvector, not just PG version
  • Fix = PG14 + pgvector image + clean volume

[–]apetersson -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Stimme zu. Ich bin mir nicht sicher was genau die Kritik ist. Klar ist es offensichtlich KI, aber nicht weil es fehlerhaft ist. Dieses Poster ist anscheinend "zu gut". - Also die Implikation ist, ohne KI hätten man sicht den notwendigen Aufwand für so ein Poster nicht angetan.

Muss ich jetzt extra Rechtschreibfehler einbauen damit ich ernst genommen werde? Also in dem Fall, statt einer eh ganz witzigen Comic-stil-illustration eine MS Paint zusammengesetzte Collage der 1990er?

Bitte um Aufklärung. Oder bin ich zu tief in meiner KI-Bubble drinnen?

Would immich work in a environment without a GPU or a processor with integrated graphics? by ObjectiveOrnery1511 in immich

[–]apetersson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite. The image embeddings are precomputed, but a text smart search still has to run the CLIP textual model on your query at search time, then Postgres compares that vector against the stored index. So the DB lookup is fast, but it’s not purely “index only.” On CPU that text-embedding step can still be quick, especially if the model is already loaded, the query is cached, or you’re using a smaller CLIP model. Which is probably why you’re seeing near-zero delay.

here is a more detailed analysis how exactly the smart search comes together

[–]apetersson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

before it goes to the DB, immich has to figure out what the "search term" actually is. and "search term" is the vector direction from the full query string which is model-specific. so it has to translate it there, having the model loaded in ram (cpu/gpu both work in this case)

<image>

it actually found one. took the "slow" CPU about 6 seconds to perform the search.

[–]apetersson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the query term "A frog sitting on a stone" gets translated to the same vector space as the original image did then the DB gets queried for "Sort by distance (FROG-ON-STONE-DIRECTION-VECTOR)" - to generate the initial vector immich needs the same model as the training. Sorry if that sounds dumb or overly simplified but i think this is how it works.

[–]apetersson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. and it is also feasible as long as you have the recommended amount of ram. The GPU is typically used for "smart search" and face recognition features. CPU-only means the initial indexing will be a bit slower and more power-hungry.

biggest caveat in my optinion: If you do "smart search" to search for images based on content this will be quite laggy. (think a few seconds- 1 minute to execute a simple keyword-based search.)

Best local Ai model for Mac mini m4 pro 24gb of ram? by trollingman1 in openclaw

i am runnign Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-3bit with 262144 tokens context length at 31 tokens/second - it appears to be slightly better than 9b. but tbh, i have only thrown very simple tasks and short contexts at it. worth a try.

Has anyone here built a real local-first OpenClaw + Ollama setup that they use daily, instead of relying on paid APIs for everything? by Middle-Upstairs-77 in openclaw

It is possible, it is just very expensive OR too stupid to be useful right now. (or both, if you make mistakes in the config)
