That's exactly what a bot would say. ~_~
Re:Ente – Opening Our Books on Thursday July 16, 2026 @10:19AM (#48934964)
I'm in the same boat. I had a so many comments under Immich videos about Ente that it made me wonder if they were just bots.

The client / server relationship with Ente is peculiar, and on my test dataset of about 1000 images did not perform at all. Face recognition, semantic search, etc, it was not in the same league as Immich tbh. (Also hi Stavros!)

(Alex from Tailscale here) I've sent this to the web team, we'll take a look first thing in the morning. Sorry y'all had to look at my ugly mug a bit longer than is ideal just now.
Re:Tailscale Peer Relays is now generally available on Wednesday February 18, 2026 @04:38PM (#47066805)
Alex from Tailscale here... We’re users just like you, and we felt this pain point ourselves. The good news is that Peer Relays were able to build on a lot of the existing subnet router and exit node plumbing, so it wasn’t a huge engineering lift to bring to life.

We also have plenty of customers running in restrictive NAT environments (AWS being a common example), where direct WireGuard tunnels just aren’t always possible. In those cases, something like Peer Relays is essential for Tailscale to perform the way larger deployments expect.

So yes, it improves latency and UX for self-hosters, but it also helps us support more complex production environments without requiring folks to run and manage custom DERP infrastructure.

Custom OIDC providers are supported to mostly address your 3rd party auth concerns.

Precisely when it means to.
I wonder. Combining this with ocr in obsidian or something might get you there. It’s not a single tool solution though.
Re:Docker is sunsetting Free Team organizations [pdf] on Tuesday March 14, 2023 @01:04PM (#35154672)
Docker as the default librarian of images due to the root namespace hijack in docker clients has a duty of care to maintain trust. A policy of preventing namespace reuse for 1 year before recycling should give time to prevent poisoned images squatting on popular handles.

A Noctua NH-D14 is considered "thermally constrained" for these 13th gen chips? Good lord.

I'm looking forward to your test results though as I'm considering building a new desktop around 13th gen.

I was just saying to my wife last night when her Lego Hobbits game crashed that I don't recall a single crash in my 1000+ hours in Factorio. Not one!

Factorio is the standard against which I compare not only other games, but all other software. For polish, stability and craftsmanship. I hope they read this thread because the love for the game everywhere is truly well deserved.

Re:Writing down what I do – in Obsidian on Wednesday November 09, 2022 @11:31AM (#33533976)
No, Joplin stores files as plain text with obfuscated filenames. An SQLite DB is only involved for indexing and search.
Re:Writing down what I do – in Obsidian on Wednesday November 09, 2022 @11:30AM (#33533958)
Notes in Joplin are stored plain text with obfuscated filenames. The only time joplin uses a DB is for indexing.
Agree totally with this. It's a hot mess tbh and very unreliable. As suggested restic (with autorestic as a wrapper) is a great replacement.
Restic is absolutely great. Wrap it in Autorestic and it's even better!
