One more vote for Immich. While I don't like how it's not easy to create albums from existing folder structures out of the box, the search and face recognition is amazing for a free self hosted app.

Sounds exactly like what I need. I'll give it a try. Thanks a lot!

Hmm. While I applaud Immich for existing at all, it kind of feels developed with not me as a user in mind. I have Terabytes of pictures I have taken over the couple of decades of my adult life. They are all neatly organized in folders on my NAS. There is no easy way to just tell Immich "oy, that folder structure? Turn it into albums" I am never going to manually put my 400k+ images into albums. And the folder view in the Android app is behind too many clicks to make it any fun using it.

I guess I have to wrangle with the CLI or something to turn my folders into albums.

But... why??? People use existing file structures. Make it easy for those to integrate into your app.

Nothing of the sort on the roadmap either. Unless integrating folder structures into Immich albums gets more user friendly, I am reluctant to support the devs.

I'll probably do it anyway because as I said, I'm glad the project exists.

Thanks.

Knew it was Beau before I even clicked on it. Great little video series he did back then!

I never started using it. It's the cancer version of messaging.

I sometimes get weird looks from people when I tell them I refuse to use it.

Signal is the way to go.

Look on the right side. Graffiti says "Carlos Perez" and the flag has the word "presidente" in it. Neither Dubai nor Mumbai since nobody there would write graffiti in Latin alphabet or in Spanish for that matter.

I cared for the characters. There was some real emotion going on. Diving with Judy with "Pyramid Song" playing felt special. The Panam tank mind sync scene was bizarre but memorable because of it. The whole V vs Johnny Silverhand mind war makes you think about what really makes you you. The taxi AI side quest was quirky and fun.

And there is one part of Night City that's straight up an hommage to the iconic Ghost in the Shell scene where they stand in a semi flooded part of the city. Made me nostalgic.

It's not really an open world RPG though. It's more story driven and when the stories are told, well... not much else to do.

You are not missing something, they are.

The first couple of years are the most important for a child's development. The more you can be there for your kid, the better. And sharing the load of child rearing will increase the bond between you and your spouse. It's disgusting to see American men reduce "supporting the family" to just bringing home money. Your family needs so much more than that!

I applaud you for taking paternity leave. Most of the criticism towards you is probably a mixture of ignorance and jealously. Take your 12 weeks and come back with a smile on your face and brag how awesome that time was - because it will be.

For comparison: I live in Austria, childcare leave can last from a year to two years and parents can split it 18mo/6mo for instance. Add to that 8 weeks of mandatory "birth time protection" before and after the predicted birth date where mothers aren't allowed to work by law but receive full salary. I WISH my wife and I could have split our maternity/paternity leave but it didn't work out financially back then.

Thousands of 130kph highway kilometers in my Polestar 2 on adaptive cruise control without a single phantom braking. You are claiming things without evidence.

My YouTube channel. Been at it for 10 years, haven't even broken through the 100,000 subscribers ceiling yet. But it's fun, so I keep doing it.

Can we please stop calling someone "being worth" x amount of money? It's disgusting on a fundamental level.
