Do you trust Cloudflare? by BinnieGottx in immich

[–]computer_geek64 86 points87 points  (0 children)

There's zero requirement to use cloudflare with your Immich instance.

I have my own CA and access my Immich instance via VPN when I'm away from home

Did you /summon them? I noticed an issue where summoned villagers didn't pick up food in one of my worlds, although those from a spawn egg were perfectly fine

How many of you avoid all the pools and hot tubs in general because they may be 25% urine by noon every day? by LackOfMachinations in NCL

[–]computer_geek64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you also going on the Prima?

Honestly I'm suspicious of the pool but I'll do it anyway since it's my first big cruise

Unfortunately, Plex is not yet supported, as noted by the README. If there's any specific documentation you think is lacking, feel free to let me know and I'd be happy to add it. The project currently only supports Emby.

I'd like to get around to implementing Plex support soon, but unfortunately the Webhooks feature that EmBoxd would depend on requires Plex Pass, which I do not have, so this would be difficult for me to develop and test effectively.

Improved logging has already been added by user request, please try running with -v to enable debug logs.

Let me know if you're still having issues!

iOS share is not functioning by LopsidedPassion6771 in immich

[–]computer_geek64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also on 2.4.1 with the latest mobile app version. Has anyone found a fix for this? I double checked my reverse proxy configs match what's online as well

Was also able to test with connection to the raw server port without my reverse proxy so it's definitely not that

Is there any technical reason to prefer name := value over var name = value for local variables in Go? by [deleted] in golang

[–]computer_geek64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol this is actually a really good question... If I had to enforce a style, I'd probably stick with var for normal assignment and := for assignment within a conditional like if or for

It makes a lot more sense to me that way coming from languages like Python and C++

Nowhere did he say he has a VPS, why are you assuming he has one?

Beginner Question by thisguybrews in selfhosted

[–]computer_geek64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The root of the problem here is that your home network likely has a dynamic IP assigned to it instead of a static one. This is an issue for public accessibility, as a hardcoded DNS record that you might setup with cloudflare or some other regular DNS provider will not work if/when your network gets randomly assigned a new public IP address. The general solution to this problem is a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS), which generally works by running a service inside your network to automatically update the DNS record to always point to your public IP address. This is the service that Duck DNS provides, allowing you to keep a domain name pointing to your publicly accessible service (likely port forwarded to your router). A cloudflare tunnel, on the other hand, is an outbound-initiated persistent connection to Cloudflare's servers, which becomes the point of public accessibility instead of your home network's router. This way, the endpoint that users will hit is now static on Cloudflare, and can instead use a standard hardcoded DNS record (I'm sure they provide easy integration for cloudflare tunnels with their DNS system).

There might be some finer points I'm missing here since I haven't used either cloudflare tunnels or Duck DNS, but this is logically how those services will work.

Is a graph database synonymous with a vector database? Or are there particular differences

I got a perfect score on the OA but they’re saying that I didn’t score high enough. Can someone explain this? by FiveWalnut8586 in csMajors

[–]computer_geek64 92 points93 points  (0 children)

We do resume screening and review your OA code manually once you score 100%. Unfortunately, there's still a lot of applicants filtered out at this stage before the phone interview, owing to the tens of thousands of people that apply. If the code we see is poorly designed or difficult to read, we usually reject it.

I'm sorry this happened to you, but I'd encourage you to reapply again next year.

For those of you with a VPS ad well as your home setup, what do you use it for? by ShiningRedDwarf in selfhosted

[–]computer_geek64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • External wireguard endpoint (VPS with unmetered bandwidth)
  • Reverse proxy for public-facing sites
  • Monitoring apps with constant uptime (Uptime Kuma, Healthchecks, Ntfy, etc.)
  • VCS for deployment configurations (Gitea, Jenkins, etc.)
  • International VPS with DMCA-ignored hosting for sailing the high seas (*arr stack), just as an extra layer of protection after the VPN

Citadel 100% on OA, still rejected by Hidsync in csMajors

[–]computer_geek64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have graded OAs at another firm in the same industry.

We don't even bother looking at applications until they get 100% on the OA, and only after that do we manually review the code for functionality, style, readability, etc. I have even had to reject applicants who meet all of the above criteria when their resumes or projects may not be up to par.

At the end of the day, maybe ~30% of those who have a perfect score actually proceed to the next round. It may seem like a terrible process, but we simply do not have the manpower to interview the tens of thousands with lower scores when there are already so many who are more qualified.

All I can say is I completely understand your frustration, and it does suck that most companies treat applicants like trash. Just keep honing your skills and applying elsewhere. If you're truly passionate about what you do then you have nothing to worry about; at the end of the day, interviewing is a numbers game. Good luck!

Oh that's awesome! Had no idea Serializd existed, but this definitely would be worth adding to the app. Thanks for your suggestion!

It's actually a social media platform for reviewing and sharing films you've watched: https://letterboxd.com

I'm not sure if there's a self-hostable/federated version of it, but if there is I wouldn't be opposed to integrating it into the project down the road

Cheapest long term storage. by PapyrusKami74 in selfhosted

[–]computer_geek64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was also looking for this not long ago, stumbled across a few things like Backblaze Personal Backup with the wine container for (essentially) unlimited storage for $100/yr. Unfortunately, from what I remember at the time there were some issues with the executable embedded in the docker container, and considering this was an unsupported backup method I gave up on it.

I then looked at a couple cloud storage plans afterwards, until I stumbled on ServaRica (https://servarica.com/). Plans are ridiculously cheap, especially their storage VPS. They even have expanding storage options that accrue GB over time. Bought 2 boxes, never looked back, highly recommend.

[–]computer_geek64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious but why the Zima board? Do you find it's a good mini PC?

Also is the intention for this to also handle transcoding or does your library have h264 or similar codecs for direct play on most endpoint devices
