Just when you thought this couldn’t get any more stupid.
- Comment on Immich x FUTO Q&A 6 days ago:
Me too, I subbed for monthly.
The one thing I can see FUTO can do is provide capital up front for developers to work which could be recouped over time as more users begin to use and pay for the software. That makes sense and in a competent, not neoliberal economy, the government might have a fund doing something like that. What I’m a bit worried about is that this isn’t all Eron’s up to. But again, we’ll take his money when he gives it, so long as the work is open source. And we’ll see where we end up in a few years. 😅

Is this going to be the mule produced be breeding OpenAI with the Bing team?
- Comment on Immich x FUTO Q&A 6 days ago:
Weird feeling about this. $5-$20 flat fee sounds like a lower price than what I’d imagine donations would bring. I imagine most who would donate would give at least $5-20, and then some would subscribe monthly.
- Comment on Google employees question execs over 'decline in morale' after blowout earnings 6 days ago:
Oh I’m aware, am part of the industry. I think the disparately higher compensation relative to the rest of the economy has given us a false idea we’re paid fairly for what we produce. Which I have definitely felt myself. In fact I’ve felt very strange of the disparities within the industry itself. However that’s completely the wrong way to look at it. There’s no magical upper number that our labor deserves. Everything is determined by what people pay and how much they buy. So if the revenues and profits are sky high, and we know labor makes most of it happen, then our labor is simply worth that much more. Given that someone will collect the difference, we may as well get a larger share of it. The sooner we recognize that, the sooner we’ll get even higher compensation which will be much more beneficial for people in the wider economy than a much smaller proportion of the exec class getting wealthier.

Oh this looks decent. British non-profit, I like it.

Still, asking the question in this clear way that almost evokes the answer by itself is important. It puts it into the heads of people watching. Could be a union instigator. 😅

“Despite the company’s stellar performance and record earnings, many Googlers have not received meaningful compensation increases” a top-rated employee question read. “When will employee compensation fairly reflect the company’s success and is there a conscious decision to keep wages lower due to a cooling employment market?”
With this leadership, when you unionize.

It’s way easier to figure that out than check ChatGPT hallucinations. There’s usually someone saying why a response in SO is wrong, either in another response or a comment. You can filter most of the garbage right at that point. You get none of that information with ChatGPT. The data spat out is not equivalent.

Perfect. That checks one more requirement on my migration checklist. 🥹

I don’t know if you can do this with Jellyfin but this is what I could do with Plex:
- create an account for her
- create a new dir for her movies
- create a new movie library called “Mom’s special” which watches this dir
- share the new library with her account
- share the rest of the libraries with her account
- drop the garbage in the special dir
In the end no one else sees Mom’s special, while your mom sees everything and Mom’s special.
- Comment on Homeserver Ansible Playbook 1 week ago:
I wouldn’t do that because I’d be inevitably picking up breaking changes without my knowledge that I’d have to fix after the fact. Unless you’re pulling from a tag I guess. Still storing along the playbook feels more robust.

Wow, exciting news in the world of RAM! We don’t get those every day anymore. 🥹
- Comment on Homeserver Ansible Playbook 1 week ago:
If I read this correctly, Immich is setup entirely through Ansible, no docker compose. That’s fine, however if Immich changes something drastically in their setup topology, it’ll be more work for you to implement those changes. For services that use docker compose, you could use Ansible to deploy a compose file in a dir, say
/opt/immich-docker
along with its requisite.env
and other files. Then setup running it via systemd. Then when you need to update it, it’s almost copy-paste from the upstream compose file into your Ansible repo. - Comment on Breaking: Samsung Pulls Out of Israel Amid Moral and Economic Decline 1 week ago:

Yeah and I do not recall knowing people who thought it would end well. It was universally viewed as a bad move as opposed to developing MeeGo or going Android.

It was incredible watching it unfold, even more so from the offices of a smartphone competitor.

When I read this, it doesn’t tell me they don’t use Google. Quite the opposite. It says all, that immediately tells me Google is among them.

For a moment I thought they’re doing this on the paid tier. Who am I kidding, it’s probably just a matter of time till they pull this number.

- Comment on Huawei's woes really were just a flesh wound – profits just soared 564 percent 1 week ago:
Years ago I saw independent analysis of Huawei gear. It was a shit show of vulnerabilities. That on its own was enough for me to conclude that I don’t want any of this gear in critical data paths. Having exploitable vulnerabilities is a tactic the NSA has used to enter equipment. Whether Huawei was simply incompetent or they left security holes open in purpose doesn’t really matter to me. I’d prefer not to have em. Also I’d prefer to have equipment from companies I can take over if needed. 🥹
- Comment on The Immich core team goes full-time | Immich 2 weeks ago:
Contribution/contributor license agreement. It’s a document that transfers the copyright from the original author - developer submitting a patch or PR - to the project owner, e.g. FUTO. If FUTO required CLA for all Immich contributions, then FUTO would own the copyright for all the source code of Immich. This allows FUTO to relicense Immich under a different license, other than GPL, for whatever purpose, without asking anyone. For example they could make modified Immich versions for sale, or sell the Immich source code to third parties under EULA or any other license.
- Comment on Huawei's woes really were just a flesh wound – profits just soared 564 percent 2 weeks ago:
Unless both peoples buy wholeheartedly into nations without borders, this ain’t happening. Unfortunately this could only happen sustainably if it happens on the basis of the working classes realizing their commonality and closeness. If it happens on the basis of free trade, the capitalist class will exploit the arbitrage opportunities between the two countries’ working classes while turning those classes against each other, so they don’t notice they’re being co-exploited.
