Other than passwords though, I also have stuff installed at home on a Synology NAS, a mail server, a VPS running some websites (my own, family, my wife's), Home Assistant, Family photos with backups etc etc.

I wonder who would not only have the passwords, but the know-how to manage the whole thing, at least to transition it to more managed services...

It's also now a lot easier to fork an open source project and tweak the last 10% so it works exactly as you want.

Exactly. Whilst I can see the problem with vibe-coded "contribution" that lower the signal/noise ratio on big OSS project, it's also "liberating" in the sense that forking becomes much more viable now. If previously it took time to dive into a project to tweak it to your needs, it's now trivial.

So in many senses AI is democratising open-source.

I was confused by him basically inventing his own skills but I guess this is from Nov 2025 so makes sense as skills were pretty new at that point.

Also please note this is nowhere on the terminal bench leaderboard anymore. I'd advise everyone reading the comments here to be aware of that. This isn't a CLI to use. Just a good experiment and write up.

I don’t follow nor use pi so no horse in this race, but I think the results were never submitted to terminal bench? not sure how the process works exactly but it’s entirely missing from the benchmark. is this a sign of weakness? I honestly don’t know.

It loses the original FPS, akin to flattening a PSD to JPG.

From what I was reading immich should preserve your original media. I saw this bug report[0] but it’s not clear if it’s an app upload bug, iOS bug or maybe depends on the device??

I don’t use immich (yet) but this is the kind of stuff I worry about. I’m planning to use it in read only mode though and sync my photos using PhotoSync rather than rely on the app.

1 thing to know about with Immich:

It has botched slow motion uploading. It uploads an export at 30fps instead of maintaining 120/240fps.

gingerlime · 10 days ago
do you mean it loses the original fps rate, or just that you can’t easily view it?

I migrated from Apple Photos to Immich a couple of months ago, removing the iCloud subscription, and couldn’t be happier. It was the most hassle free piece of self-hosted software I’ve had so far. Very easy to install and everything just works. Context and OCR search are amazing. Mobile apps could be better, but they are constantly being improved.

My favorite feature is being able to setup a container on my Linux desktop that has a GPU access and can run ML workloads for image processing whenever I turn the computer on, as my NAS (where Immich resides) is a low power machine without a dedicated GPU. They even have ROCM support, so it works even without an Nvidia GPU. Being able to spread such workloads over your local network feels like a magic that has been forgotten in an era of blackbox cloud providers.

any pointers on how it works with immich on the NAS and your desktop “contributing” processing power?

Great post. Explains the concepts just enough that they click without going too deep, shows practical implementation examples, how it fits together. Simple, clear and ultimately useful. (to me at least)

no unsubscribe button in this MS Copilot campaign. And they’re trying to gaslight like it’s some essential notification when it’s clearly and blatantly unnecessary marketing spam.

I had a similar issue with Microsoft today. They obviously invented a new "Copilot Newsletter" and subscribed my address to it, without my consent.

I wonder what the legislation says (I'm in Germany). I know that some business related mails are deemed legal, but this seems to clearly cross the line.

Same. Posted a comment about it [0]. I already filed a GDPR and ePrivacy compliants. Happy to share notes. Contact details in my profile.

I’ve had a similar experience when signing up for Office365 and started getting promotional emails to CoPilot. These (2) emails were without an unsubscribe option.

I contacted MS support and after some back n forth they claimed it was a transactional email that doesn’t require consent or opt out.

Clearly promotional and not necessary but they won’t listen.

I’m in the process of filing GDPR + ePrivacy complaints, but it’s a tedious process, unlikely to do anything.
