  • If BYOD was allowed I'd probably get a laptop with two M.2 drives and keep work and personal on separate OSs on separate drives, both encrypted so they can't access each other's files.

    Best of both worlds.

    Is your phone really listening to you? Here's what we know
  • Cox got caught buying that data, and when confronted about it, Google, Amazon, and Meta all failed to deny that they also buy that data from those malicious app makers

    But what is that based on? This paragraph?

    A spokesperson for CMG told Newsweek that "CMG businesses have never listened to any conversations nor had access to anything beyond third-party aggregated, anonymized, and fully encrypted data sets that can be used for ad placement."

    I don't think that explicitly means they had datasets made up of clandestinely recorded conversations in the wild.

    third-party aggregated, anonymized, and fully encrypted data sets that can be used for ad placement.

    Really could describe ANY possible set of tracking data... Unless you put this quote into a clickbaitey article and strongly imply it's something sinister.

    Is your phone really listening to you? Here's what we know
  • Someone back this up with proof. Security researchers would've noticed this. They'd've had to have hacked their way around the microphone permission systems and microphone use indicator (depending on OS) on your phone and upload that data without being caught by security analysts. That kind of bug would probably be worth a fairly decent bounty too.

    The article talks about a slide in a PITCH to advertisers. But not a concrete system. Then it goes on to say advertisers bought a dataset from other sources. What dataset? From where? It doesn't say. Transcriptions from voice assistants? Maybe. But without hard evidence I don't believe random apps are just recording clandestinely in the background. But people want to believe this so writing shitty unsourced articles with click bait titles and tenuous-if-I'm-generous linking of weak facts lacking entirely in context generates lots of clicks.

  • See email is one of the few things I don't host. I host a webmail frontend, and use my domain. But PurelyMail is an amazing service that's so cheap it's basically free at personal scale with very few limits. I didn't really care to try and deal with having all my mail sent to spam.

    Highlights

    Welcome to release v1.99.0 of Immich. This release adds the new logo, fixes many bugs, and improves the application. Some of the highlights include:

    • \[WEB] Sort photos and videos to display direction in an album.
    • On-disk cache on the mobile app to provide a better viewing experience.
    • There is a new endpoint for OpenTelemetry metrics to monitor performance.
    • Optimized queries for large libraries.
    • Add upload progress and speed indicator.
    • XMP sidecar file is now recognized with both photo.ext.xmp and photo.xmp extensions.
    • Drag to select - Now press your thumb to drag and select in the selection mode.
    • Improve user feedback in the mobile app's backup and album selection screen.
    • Various improvements for the library scanning process.

    Asset's display direction in the album

    We added an option to change the order of the assets in the album so you can view the assets from older to newest and vice versa.

    album.view\.order.mp4

    Mobile asset caching

    Improving cache for remote thumbnails and the images, they now stay on disk so that they can load faster and give a better experience while used offline. You should feel a faster loading experience across the app.

    Performance monitoring with OpenTelemetry integration

    Immich provides a variety of performance metrics to allow for local monitoring and insights. This integration is primarily in the form of Prometheus metrics. However, exporting traces is also possible due to OpenTelemetry instrumentation. Please visit the documentation to learn how to enable this feature

    Note

    This opt-in feature allows you to monitor Immich's performance. This data isn't sent anywhere beyond what you've configured.

    File size progress and upload speed indicator

    We added an indicator to show the file's size that has been uploaded and the upload speed under the progress bar in the backup screen.

    Simulator.Screen.Recording.-.iPhone.15.Pro.Max.-.2024-03-14.at.18.08.37.mp4

    Drag to select

    You can now drag to select in the mobile app when in selection mode; this will help make selecting in bulk easier.

    drag\_to\_select.mp4

    And lastly, I want to express my gratitude to @immich-app/contributor who make this behemoth of a release happen 🎉

    ***

    And as always, bugs are fixed, and many other improvements also come with this release.

    A dozen or two TB of storage for media on the cheap?

    Well I'm just about fed up with streaming bullshit. I currently have a home server that's just a raspberry pi4 with a bunch of docker containers and it served my light usage well.

    But with transcoding on Jellyfin I'll be needing some more power. And a bunch of storage. So wanting to perhaps build a new little server.

    CPU requirements aren't high at all. Need to transcode maybe 2 concurrent 4K streams, A cheap discrete GPU or a CPU with a decent enough iGPU could handle this. Other applications are basically negligible, like Vaultwarden and PiHole, torrent, using as a general file storage server.

    I also recently acquired a mini PC which is plenty powerful, but doesn't have any way of adding a bunch of drives. So another option is setting up a pure NAS and just using the mini PC as the server. It's got an i7 10700T and iris 630 iGPU.

    I've been using Linux and self hosting basic things for years, but I'm pretty new to this level of hardware and little experience with RAID.

    Budget: ~$500ish - storage goal: 12+ TB
