I would have used Owncloud Infinite Scale but the fact you can’t use your own existing files makes it a complete non-starter for me. I don’t want my files locked behind Decomposed FS.

Unless I’ve read things wrong, which is entirely possible.

Thanks, I’ll give it a go!

I suppose it’ll be easy since my whole stack uses IPv4, so I’ll be simply adding another interface on without service disruptions.

Each year I seem to think “this will be the year I set up IPv6 in my homelab” - but then I never get around to it.

If I have to run both v4 and v6 concurrently, there isn’t much incentive/motivation for me to use v6 locally.

Maybe I’ll get around to it when there’s a net benefit for me for my use case, or when I’m forced to.

Am I just imagining it to be more complicated than it actually is?

My router runs pfsense and I have 6 VLANs each with its own subnet - Management, Trusted, IoT, Cameras, Guest, and Web Facing Servers.

Ah no wonder it’s experimental.

It’ll get there eventually.

One feature that I hope that Immich adopts is to allow for external libraries to be displayed in an existing folder structure. There’s no built-in way to do this and requires a script that uses albums as a workaround. A lot of photographers have organised folders by date/event that span years/decades, so it’s not practical to create these manually with albums.

The closest I’ve found is a cron script which does album generation automatically, but it’s not a ‘future proof’ solution since it could stop working at any time.

Memories (Nextcloud), Photoprism, and Photoview can do this.

Ah! Good to know! I haven’t touched my Mac client sync settings in a while so I’ll check this out.

Looks like that feature is still in beta and therefore only available in the beta client. The stable release still uses the .nextcloud extension workaround.

Is that still the case for the Nextcloud macOS client? Because this post from the devs from a few months ago implies that the .nextcloud file extension behaviour is temporary and that they’re meant to be using Apple’s File Provider API, same way that Dropbox and OneDrive.

Syncthing doesn’t have an ‘files on demand’ feature though. The way that cloud storage providers do it is by having placeholder files which are selectively synced. Resilio Sync can do it, although it does change the file extension for the placeholder files to .rslsync temporarily.

Being more aware of the passage of time helps me, so setting an alarm is what I do.

One of my clients referred to Zip disks a few days ago. That really sent me back. Only my rich friends had Jaz drives, whereas the rest of us were still using Zip disks and optical media. Those early USB thumb drives at USB 1.0 speeds were also painfully slow.

My portable storage journey progressed from 5.25” floppy disks, 3.5” diskettes, Zip disk, CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, 2.5”/3.5” external HDDs and now portable NVME SSDs.

I’ve got two young boys. I am definitely prepared for this to happen to me in the near future.

I have a Xeon E2416G which is the Xeon equivalent of the Coffee Lake Core i7-8700.

What sort of workloads are we talking about in Proxmox? How important are the chipset features of C246 vs Raptor Lake to you?

This sounds ideal for either Photoprism or Photoview.

My Arc A380 has been great. Intel Quick Sync is so well supported across all platforms.

Arc A310 is also a great option since you can find them in single slot low profile varieties too.

Sounds about right.

I’ve had to put out plenty of things to print that I got overruled on.

Another thing to add - these services can’t use the word ‘buy’ because that implies ownership. They should be forced to use a word like ‘rent’.

Unless I’m missing something, you can’t have multiple user profiles.

I use Infuse on my Apple TV with Plex Media Server as the backend. I can work with that limitation on Apple TV because my wife and kids use the official Plex app while I use Infuse, but ideally I’d prefer if we all used Infuse.

Jellyfin server isn’t lacking, but the weak point is definitely client software, especially on iOS. Unfortunately they just don’t have the same kind of resources Plex do in that regard.

I run Plex and Jellyfin, with watched status between the two synchronised with jellyplex-watched.

Sean A, Sean B and Viggo really should’ve come along too!
