Fuck you very much for conflating privacy with illegality.

Still, linux desktop is going up, with a fraction of the marketing power Windows and Apple have.

This isn’t entirely true. Linux is getting a lot of help from Microsoft. <wink wink>

Probably folder structure and naming conventions.

If you still have some stubborn pieces of media, [imdbid-tt…] tags and even .nfo files can help.

A bit cumbersome if you are traveling and using a different public wifi every time though

You’re not wrong. But you’re probably also familiar with the “secure vs. convenient” dichotomy: the closer to the “secure” end of the spectrum you get, the more cumbersome things will inevitably get. If you feel like you’re jumping through too many hoops and you don’t know what for, chances are you’re overshooting the target in terms of your threat model and might get away with doing less.

Plex -> Jellyfin (I don’t use it but I’ve heard good things about it);

I do use it heavily and came here to recommend it over Plex.

1. Disable DNS once. Find out URL/IP of captive portal that way.
2. Add to hosts file (Win/Lin/Mac). Maybe even give an alias: “captive-school”, “captive-library”, etc.
3. Turn DNS back on. The hosts file will take prerogative over DNS settings, i.e. it is resolved first.

You are correct, it seems to have supported it for a while now, but it got more support now.

I’m afraid MusicBee is not for me since my household has been powered by Linux only for years now. I’ll look into that beets plugin though, which has been recommended to me somewhere in the comments before. Thanks!

Confusing write-up. Care to clarify

• why exactly your phone fails attestation?
• what exactly it is you did to make it work?

“When gold was at US$4500, silver should have been US$300, but has been suppressed for all these 50-odd years by banks who’ve been short the whole time – and maybe I should get mad at myself for playing in a game where it’s manipulated, right?”

Read: “I should have won bigly, but I didn’t. But my ego tells me I can’t be wrong, so the game must have been rigged.”

Boy, does that remind me of someone…

Fuck this guy, the other guy, and fuck their corrupt moneymaking schemes.

“Using free Chinese models that you can run locally and offline is a security risk. People and businesses high on AI should be forced to use our expensive cloud-based models that funnel all their data through our servers and can be turned off or price-hiked by us at any moment!”

Personally I would absolutely not want to ever feed my documents into an off-device model, but the point of self-hosted software is that it does what you tell it to and they absolutely should include letting you make bad decisions. decide what’s right for you.

FTFY (although I share your judgment). No disagreement about the rest.

Care to specify what you mean by “that”? It’s been a lot.

Long-time immich user here, similar problem. The issue (for now) is that only the owner of the media has write access. With partner sharing, all you can do is read the media (and add them to albums).

What I do for now with “trash media” (e.g. photos of receipts and other stuff that one snaps pics of for practical reasons and then forgets): I add my partner’s trash to an album named “please delete”. I periodically ask them to go through it and remove anything they want to keep, then have them select and delete everything in that album in batch.

Why this may not be practical for you, OP: you have two “trash producers”, so you’d have to keep a “trash” album for each of them (and sort trash media correctly). This is tedious work and error-prone: if you have only one pic in you “trash” album that your account does not own, selecting and deleting everything will fail, sending you on a hunt for the one misclassified picture in a batch of >200…

What immich may do about this in the future, as according to their roadmap: in the past, they were planning to add “more granular permissions controls”. Right now, they’ve renamed that to

User groups: Manage groups of users and share albums with a group

I hope this will include permissions management as well.

Wither way, the feature is likely to come with a greater overhaul of partner sharing. Partner sharing, as of now, is partly “broken” due to past design decisions: you can’t

• write to your partner’s files
• share facial recognition data: each one needs to classify people in their pictures individually (e.g. both need to tag “Uncle Fred” individually in their own accounts)
• share memories: only pictures owned by you will show up in memories, not your partner’s

And before anybody asks: no, there’s no ETA…

Soon

Most lists from https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists

It does say that, and yet I’ve been doing it for years without issue. You just need to know what you’re doing, i.e. you need to be able to tell apart the connections that are required to make a site work from those that aren’t needed and can be blocked without issue. If you don’t, Tracker Control will break a lot of sites, and they probably don’t want to deal with the resulting support requests.

But if you’ve been using NoScript for a while, you will feel right at home with TC and be able to use it with browsers as well, which is where a lot of tracking happens.

And now, everyone!

That’s the thing: if constituents only get their info (or opinions) through chatbots…

…by axing or redirecting (read: embezzling) funds once spent on actual science?

True, although we must concede there is a difference between the simple machine learning already present in paperless and LLMs where, depending on quantization, CPU-based inference doesn’t get you very far.
