How do people handle backups with Immich? Ideally I’d like all my images to be uploaded to object storage if I’m self-hosting.
Incremental borg backups uploaded to cloud storage...
Have a cron job and get notified about every backup

It seems like if you aren't gonna use Linux and you aren't severely cash-constrained, Macbooks are almost the only credible choice at this point?
Pretty annoying coz Linux is non-negotiable for me. I've just bought a laptop and it feels like I'm getting much worse value for money than I would with a Mac.
If you really need something cheap... Seems you are basically just screwed at this point, unless you are able to use Linux. Admittedly, I installed Ubuntu for my 70 year old mother a few months back and I haven't had a single support request so far. She's on a 2013 MacBook Air.
Was in the market for a Linux laptop for son who's entering college.... Dug through lenovo and saying that it's hard to find decent info on Linux support is an understatement...
Finally got an e14 g6 AMD.... It's not supported by lenovo for Linux but everything got Auto detected and worked except fingerprint
The bummer: suspend to ram is terribly broken and for a laptop that's a deal breaker
Yeah I'm aware of framework and system 76... They aren't here. The pricier lenovo options exist but at that point is just go with a mac
haven't run windows in ages (15yrs). Can't even make sense of windows anymore since at work moved to Mac. Unfortunately, looks like I will need to now since for a laptop (thinkpad - AMD - sleep/suspend might be a dead end)
So what's the 'best' edition of windows ('best' for privacy/least crapware/adware/AI slop)? I can get any version.

Not sure about specific ones here... But I feel financial basics should be a mandatory course before graduation... Maybe it is available as electives in other counties but here in India, fresh graduates are shockingly illiterate financially... Things to cover
1. Compound interest 2. Taxation 3. Insurance... Term/health 4. Asset classes... Equity /debt/real estate/gold/bonds and risk/reward 5. Evaluating investment plans/schemes

How do you connect your Kindle to the internet to access OPDB/Calibre-web without losing your jailbreak?
Every time I connect my Kindle 4 to the internet, it disables developer mode and I have to rejailbreak. This is despite using an update disabler plugin (I've tested them all).
Kual+ had an option to stop auto updates... KT4 here

Just today had Gemini write a shell spot for me that had to generate a relative symlink..
Getting it to work xplat on linux & mac took more than ten tries and I stopped reading after the second
At the end, I spent probably more time and learnt nothing.. My initial take was that this is the kind of thing I don't care much for so giving it to a llm is OK... However, by the end of it I ended up more frustrated and lost it in the simulation of working things out aa well

Sort of like once you get used to GPS to get anywhere, you stop developing any further directional sense but even existing capabilities start withering away

> Can't show address bar in finder...
Technically true but… i’m curious in which situation this is a problem for you? 99.9% of times I used the address bar on Windows is either copy-pasting the current path in the console (but on Mac I simply drag whatever file/folder on the terminal window et voilà, nicely shell-escaped too), or to go to a different folder (and either the bottom Finder hierarchy or cmd-g take care of most of that).
Yeah.. I get by with cmd g...
In rooting for Asahi.. Linux on Mac hw would be so nice
Realistically though, in spite of the heroic effort it'll always be crippled in some way OR if they manage to close the gap enough, Apple might still screw them (and end users) over with the next firmware update
I'm 49.... Started at 12... In the same boat
First 286 machine had a CMOS battery that was loose so I had to figure that out to make it boot into ms-dos
This time it does feel different and while I'm using them ai more than ever, it feels soulless and empty even when I 'ship' something
