What file format are you outputting from HandBrake? Some like MP4 have limited support for subtitle tracks.

This is how I do it. I followed this guide to get it set up, and this one to make it work behind a VPN (Tailscale)

I share this pipe dream. Increased awareness of and access to self-hosted services encourages decentralization, reduces our reliance on massive data centers, and empowers the public to own their data. For the hobbyist, I think this is already in reach.

However, in order for such a system to succeed in the wider market, it needs to also be cheap and convenient. Even a Raspberry Pi goes for around $80 these days, and storage is becoming more expensive by the day thanks to AI companies. iCloud storage is only 99 cents a month. If, for example, ISPs were to bundle this software and storage with their modem hardware, it could happen. Hell, they could even charge a small fee to provide you with a publicly accesible domain.

Very cool. Reminds me of the Madness markdown server.

According to W3Techs, Cloudflare is used for 80.9% of all known reverse proxy endpoints which account for 19.8% of the entire Internet. It’s safe to say it’s used to host both legal and illegal content with that broad of a scope.

They are an American company and must cooperate with law enforcement when abuse is reported. If you’re planning on hosting pirated content, that most definitely violates their terms of service and will get you in trouble.

The Music app (also called Apple Music, formerly iTunes) is a library manager at its core. You don’t need an Apple Music subscription to use it. It runs on macOS and Windows.

If you’re an Apple household, Apple Music (iTunes) is still great. I don’t pay for streaming services; I buy music on iTunes/Bandcamp and rip CDs.

Apple Music has a fantastic interface for managing metadata, creating playlists, and performing complex batch jobs with AppleScript. I sync my iPhone and iPod Nano every time I add a new album, and I host my media folder on NextCloud for listening on other devices.

Thanks! What kinds of things do you intend to do with your lab? I felt that the Pi was suitable for most everything except media pipelines.

Love the evolution! How are you measuring the power consumption of your devices? I’d be interested in profiling my build as well.

Not sure about their business model, but I love Glow. It’s great for browsing folders of Markdown files.

Well done. More and more companies are deploying LLM-written code in production environments. Might as well be honest about the results so we can learn what does and doesn’t work.

My understanding is that Flatpaks are generally reserved for GUI applications and not command-line tools or servers. I’m not sure it’s the ideal format for Immich.

That said—and I’m probably going to get hate for this—there is an Immich snap package that does just what you’re looking for.

Great news! PNG has always been my image format of choice due to its relatively good compression and support for transparency.

Love this! I’m always excited to see tools that use plain text formats

It’s great that there are new languages coming along that strike a balance between performance and safety. However, there’s always going to be a need for unsafe, low-level code. I work in semiconductors and occasionally have to write firmware and drivers for our devices. There’s no avoiding C in those environments.

Finally! I’ve always been enamored with Swift, but Linux compatibility has been a consistent pain point. Can’t wait to give it a try

Terrifying

“Found”

Interesting. Scary.
