So I pull out my keyboard

And I pull out my Glock

And I dismount your girl

And I mount slash proc

Cos I’ve got your PID

And the bottom line

Is you best not front

Or its kill dash nine

Fundamentally I guess there is a disconnect here around what “safe for work” means, and what the “not safe for work” function is for.

To me, unless you work in a primary school or something a journalistic article from a reputable newspaper that discusses (but does not explicitly depict) sex or sex work wouldn’t be considered inappropriate content for someone to be reading. It’s journalism, it’s intent is not to be titillating or lewd . If this was “my life as a sex worker” published on someone’s onlyfans then that’s probably different; different context and different intent.

Imo, the “NSFW” flag should be reserved for the “would it be ok if I scrolled past this on the bus with a child sitting next to me” - explicit or graphic violence or sex.

Mastodon does this better - beyond the NSFW flag, you can add arbitrary content warning flags, so if you think your content might offend or upset, you can highlight that fact so people can choose to skip it.

Just my $0.02. I’m from a European background so I guess attitudes and norms about sex might be a bit different compared to the US.

I was in the same place as you a few years ago - I liked swarm, and was a bit intimidated by kubernetes - so I’d encourage you to take a stab at kubernetes. Everything you like about swam kubernetes does better, and tools like k3s make it super simple to get set up. There _is& a learning curve, but I’d say it’s worth it. Swarm is more or less a dead end tech at this point, and there are a lot more resources about kubernetes out there.

Trying to extort the federal government like that seems like a really quick way to end up with your face, phone number and home address in a press release, along with a note from the NSA that basically says “this guy has $33 million in Bitcoin, would be a shame if someone kicked in his door and beat him with a bat until he gave up the keys :)”

Especially when “tmpfiles” is an existing term of art with a very specific meaning

its more likely than you think

The early twenties intermediate dev on my team was explaining the other week that if you remember a time before smartphones and broadband, you are old

I personally am familiar with 2 organisations with millions of dollars in annual revenue that deploy critical line of business applications like this in 2024

Very NSFW

They are, but I think the question was more “does the increased speed of an SSD make a practical difference in user experience for immich specifically”

I suspect that the biggest difference would be running the Postgres DB on an SSD where the fast random access is going to make queries significantly faster (unless you have enough ram that Postgres can keep the entire DB in memory where it makes less of a difference).

Putting the actual image storage on SSD might improve latency slightly, but your hard drive is probably already faster than your internet connection so unless you’ve got lots of concurrent users or other things accessing the hard drive a bunch it’ll probably be fast enough.

These are all Reckons without data to back it up, so maybe do some testing

Weirdest episode of binging with babish

Because half the country votes for a party that explicitly says this is a good way to run things, and the other half votes for a party that says it isn’t great, but we shouldn’t really do anything meaningful about it.

Until there is mass “you are all assholes and we demand a more representative electoral system” demonstrations, nothing will change.

Readers may note that this applies to basically every problem in the US right now

Debian. When I have time to mess about with server stuff, I want to be doing the thing I want to do rather than fixing whatever broke in the most recent set of updates

Ikr? I’m an atheist and I know that this is probably heretical

Yeah - the dose is the poison (if you drink enough water it becomes toxic), so if you are talking precisely you need to describe the concentration of a substance in which it is likely lethal to a person, and that’s typically expressed as mass of a substance per mass of bodyweight. A lot of the time you will also see this expressed as an “LD50” value; the dose at which you’d expect 50% of people to die. This accounts for the fact that people’s metabolisms vary quite widely.

~1ng/kg ~= 0.08ug for a typical (~80kg) person, which is a very tiny amount - whatever you are talking about is incredibly toxic.

Being frustrated sure, but being angry at someone because they just don’t have a functional mental model of how the internet works is kinda pointless

Because fundamentally DRM doesn’t work. It’s effectively impossible to stop a determined attacker from gaining access to the information while also making it easy and convenient for the general public to access.

The point of pay walls is to be just annoying enough that 90% of the public go “screw it, have a few dollars”, not to stop the 10% of people who were never going to pay you regardless.

Tangent, but I get irrationally angry when people do “go to site X and search for blah and it’s the 3rd result down” when trying to convey the location of some information on the internet rather than just sharing the goddam URL.

Neurosyphilis

I’ve not heard any out-and-out horror stories, but I’ve got no first hand experience.

I’m planning on picking up 3x manufacturer recertified 18TB drives from SPD when money allows, but for now I’m running 6x ancient (minimum 4 years old) 3TB WD Reds in RAID 6. I keep a close eye on SMART stats, and can pick up a replacement within a day if something starts to look iffy. My plan is to treat the 18TBs the same; hard drives are consumables, they wear out over time, and you have to be ready to replace them when they do
