I have several dozen TB of serverpartdeals darddrives. Us based seller. They are extremely professional and prompt and their packaging was incredible.

Thank you for mentioning this! In thought I was the worlds only moron who filled 1tb with stale docker images.

And that kids, is when I learned about prune - a

no, you’re completely correct. I used immich-go which is what I recommend

I haven’t had to deal with custom ordering. Everything I’ve shot can be chronological with the exception of some portfolio albums where I simply forgot order mattered.

I haven’t spent a ton of time in Immich’s backend but do you know where they would implement such a feature? Would sorting by file name solve this? Does the ui use the api to call pictures in a specific order? It seems like functionality is platform-dependent.

Hardware: I have a custom setup with a bunch of amd graphics cards. I will do a writeup about that sometime this year.

I use opencode exclusively. It’s probably not the best harness but it’s the one that gives users the most control and I like that.

The actual models I used for this work are Qwen3.8 27b - FP8 and Qwen3.8 - Flash - Next UD_Q6_K.

I wrote my own agents with duty separation. Flash is the orchestrator and long-horizon guide. While 27b is the faster, more expandable worker. This combination feels about as smart as an opus 4.8 with maybe not as great token efficiency. For simple tasks, i use the worker directly. I have a ton of repo documentation and my agents have access to read and write to Forgejo, both for git and api (issues and PRs respectively)

Maybe I need to write an article about this…

CC is “creative cloud” its the Adobe cloud-ified software offering. All the software you used to love, with fewer features and a monthly rate!

I think that’s possible

Immich is not like Lightroom at all.

Immich is more akin to Google Photos or Apple Photos. It’s a library ONLY. Lightroom is for developing raws, publishing, and storing.

what zener_diode said.

when i was setting up this version of my homelab (this is v2), i had to contend with how to run docker. The general concensus is that the “best” way to run it is Proxmox>VM>Docker. Proxmox>LXC>Docker is supposed to be viable too. Proxmox>Docker is possible but is not recommend.

I have 20 active docker services with about 30 containers running all sorts of services and they’re extremely reliable under this setup. The only time I’ve had problems is when I ran out of disk space (128gb) because stale docker images weren’t pruned.

I haven’t documented this yet but I did do Google Takeout. It is just as bad and they rotate credentials every few minutes so they make it really hard to download the 80 files they output my pictures into

Immich has built-in compatible tooling to handle Takeout, bless them

Takeout

Edit: voyage0 correctly pointed out that I used/meant immich-go, not built-in tools

I don’t care one bit about all of the supposed performance optimizations in CachyOS.

It is SO DANG EASY. It just works.

That’s really cool. Would you mind posting a few sentences about how you redirected your specific solution and what it’s protecting. That would be super helpful.

Tbf, we’re trying to get away from that one

I tried a couple of times. It works to do midi to DAW or midi to VSTi. I don’t remember what I used unfortunately so idk how helpful that info is. I hope one day, my Arturia stuff will work on Linux.

I tried it and quickly gave up because it was a pain. CachyOS ended up being a better solution for me because it’s a combination of stable and flexible enough to be a daily driver and can run dev work. Windows just isn’t necessary for me and I haven’t booted it in almost 2 years.

If I had to recommend something to my former self, specifically with Windows need a, it would be CachyOS with a Windows VM passed through.

I have mine running in a consumer case and, despite it having a heat sink, I found it was overheating and turning off. Consider your airflow and put a fan near or on it if possible

An untested disaster recovery plan is wishful thinking

1. You can look at manufacturers info pages and see what they support. Intel integrated chips usually list the capabilities and you’ll want to double check with your mini PC or motherboard manufacturer to make sure they support it too. I think any i5+ from the past 5 years with integrated graphics should be able to play/decode 4k media (someone correct me if this sounds crazy). Fornsure my core ultra 265. As far as codec support, I’m not familiar with the compatibilities but I’m sure everything CAN be played on recentish hardware. Encoding is out of my weelhouse.

2. I’ve used HDMI 2.1 hdr 4k120 on Linux with Nvidia, AMD and Integrated Intel. AMD will be the best experience especially on cards from the past 5 years. Nvidia, with proprietary drivers, on 3000 series or newer should be good for a few more years. I heard 2000 series will be dropped from support soonish m. Intel HDMI 2.1 is a pain on linux and I’ve only been able to get HDR 4k120 using a special DP to HDMI cable.
