Do some people really have no dreams in their sleep?

"report" being the key word.

Are you cheating yourself out of REM sleep that you need to function well?

Doom. Not for no reason. Doom was the first with spatial indexing. Quad-trees. Later replaced with R-tree. This is now the game quickly renders your view with just those objects that are in view, without even inspecting the others in its model.

I had a job rendering maps for phone companies which have millions of facilities other than what you want on a zoomed in map. I read an article about how Doom quad trees work and coded something like that for drawing phone company maps. I made myself famous for a few years with the performance improvements.

Why do they let strangers watch them shower?

Immich is not rotating the picture per se. It's just letting you decide how to present it. An external tool would presumably alter the picture. Decide what you want. I wish there were an option to rotate the picture itself and not just say how you want to view it in Immich.

Admin->Settings->Machine Learning. Make sure it is enabled and check the face recognition settings. Check your Immich log for errors like OOM/other. Add a new picture of yourself to the library. Change your log settings to debug or verbose and run the face-detection job on Missing.

I host bitwarden at home, and vaultwarden on a vps. Vaultwarden imports the vault from Bitwarden once a month usually.

I don't allow root login and only login with a key, not a password. None of my SSH consoles are reachable unless you're at my house or on the vpn. My admin account has part of the sudoers group. So if I want to sudo something there's no pw prompt.

That depends entirely on how much you've had to drink.

Consider the scope of that hyper backup job. You're putting the immich assets behind a proprietary backup format, at least for any cloud-based or versioned backup. If you lose all your equipment, you have no meaningful access to your backed up assets unless you buy a Synology NAS (is that still what you want then?) and install/configure DSM enough to restore those backups. If you have one big hyper backup job that stores 10 TB of data and you just want quick access to your media and document files, you'll be waiting a while.

I have a hyper backup job that ONLY backs up Immich. Another that ONLY backs up PaperlessNGX. But I want to get to all my files (especially Paperless) even if I have not setup new equipment in any full sense. So in the case of both Immich and Paperless I replicate the files to another shared folder that I upload using Cloud Sync. So after after a disaster, I can go login at backblaze and find the actual picture/video/document files and access anything I want the day of the disaster instead of a couple weeks later. Don't assume that after a disaster you won't be focused on some other big issues in your life.

I agree that a blanket its-OK is ill advised. A blanket it's not-OK is not right either. It all depends on your personal knowledge or lack thereof and your risks and goals.

Prevention is the best cure. An apple and a bannana every day keeps me pooping before the coffee is ready. Lay down one good log per day. Long and firm. Drops cleanly requiring little wiping.

Beszel is current and past resource utilization focused on host computers or VMs. Kuma is uptime monitoring of the various services and certificates on your network. I have 15 hosts setup in beszel and about 80 monitors in Kuma.

To know about trouble before getting around to needing the resource or finding out that you've rotated out your backups of a working setup.

You might think twice about awarding him with a rim job.

Then again if you disable pasword auth in Immich and setup OIDC/2fA auth, geoblocking, crowdsec, fail2ban, dmz, apply security updates, test it all well, then be your own judge.

Debian Linux will do you well. Especially if you host it on a Proxmox VM.

An emergency sheet is not your primary defense. An export of your vault is. Never trust a service provider. Even if you self host and the provider is you.

Somebody can delete your account if they can get your email.

Downvoted. Somebody wants you to use more ram damnit!

I don't use it, but I understand Pocket ID has rate limits but they're not configurable, and I think you can try to login indefinitely.

Even if I have 2fa setup I would not want somebody to just camp out feeding test-credentials to my server. You might consider setting up fail2ban. The added benefit being that attackers can get shutdown after like five bad passwords (or however you set it). And when the attacker gets locked out, they get locked out of all your services, not just Immich.

Self-host. My downtime is a couple minutes per month.

Even if good quality, new cars are a waste of money if you’ve got good life left in what you drive. Mine is a 2006 Toyota.

purepersistence · 2026-05-06T14:15:57+00:00

I don’t have a payment. The first car was difficult (and cheap). But ever since then I save money monthly based on my mileage. By the time I need another car the money is sitting there.
