Does it really make that of a difference? Sure I use SSD’s for a long time now but haven’t seen that much of a speed improvement over HDD’s in games. Even with a m.2, haven’t seen any improvement.
However data transfer speed is another story !

4·2 days agoThank you :)) ! I have the same question as @umbrella if your have any other insights to share !
how is varlink better than dbus to justify that change?
Someone a short ELI ? I read the article and the comments… But I have no idea what this is about.
Maybe someone has an article that explains for someone not being educated as computer scientist ?
Nobody ever talking about lychee ?
Yes okay it’s not GPL or written in a fancy new language (PHP is still alive xD). But it’s simple, elegant, no UX bloat, no ML or IA stuff… Just a plain simple self-hosted photo manager.
One thing I really liked about it, you can import you external photo’s with .xmp files, just one checkbox away.
The tag feature is simple but working as expected. Nothing fancy but it does best what’s it’s supposed to do !!
Call me old boomer but I really like the simplicity of lychee. It’s a bit like how reading an article from miniflux or wallabag… Simple html files without bloating your eyes or your brain…
Just my 2c, nothing to see here !
17·1 day agoFor those interested, John Hammond did a video a few months ago about
.lnkextension (and other 16 hidden extensions on Windows).He doesn’t go to much or to deep into the subject, but you get a general view how this could be exploitable.
To expand on my previous comment I dug a bit deeper the rabbit hole with exiftool to showcase how powerful
meta tagsare overconventional tags. I was curious how It would work and find an “universal” embedded tag system that works nearly on any software.First thing first,from my personal research there are 4 important types of metadata fields:
- IPTC:keywords
- XMP:subject
- EXIF:XPkeywords (mostly for Windows)
- MacOS:MDItemUserTags (macos tagging system)
It’s also possible to copy one over to the other. The most important ones are
IPTCandXMPwhich are read by most image manager.XPkeywordsandMDItemUserTagsare OS specific to windows and macos respectively.After some reading and fiddling around I used the following commands:
exiftool -IPTC:Keywords="Phil's Exif" Wallpapers/image_proxy3.jpg exiftool -XMP:Subject+=one Wallpapers/image_proxy3.jpg exiftool -XMP:Subject+=two Wallpapers/image_proxy3.jpg exiftool -EXIF:XPKeywords="tagtest" Wallpapers/image_proxy3.jpg exiftool -MacOS:MDItemUserTags+=tagging Wallpapers/image_proxy3.jpgI spun up a lychee docker container to test if my tags are automatically recognized:
What does that mean ? Does are embedded meta tags that works with every software capable of reading the IPTC or XMP metadata. Those tags will follow your pictures rather than being bound to a specific software database. So your tags are portable and embedded into you files which is in my opinion a better long term solution.
There’s probably way more to it and something that could be further explored is to export your metadata as
.xmpfile, add those tags into the OS (XPKeywords, MDItemUserTags), bash script to manipulates even further…Hope it helps to give you a sneak peak on what exiftool is capable. I’m a noob with this tool but it already shines and shows it’s power and capabilities with some basic commands.
Here are some resources if you want to give it a try and follow my trails:

An other solution could be exiftool by Phil Harvey. Don’t judge by how the website looks… It’s probably the best and most complete tool to edit the metadata directly into your images (and way to much other formats xD).
Even though it’s very well documented, exiftool is very complex and there’s a lot to read and grasp before getting comfortable with it. There’s always the forum if you have any question, but before asking the forum go through the FAQ (yes I know it’s huge… But as starting point look at number 11) and search a similar question in the forum.
Here I found a topic that looks like what you’re a looking for:
wow ! Not OP, but thank you for such a dedicated answer ! 🫶👍
7·14 days agoWe are in the mess that we are because less than 50% people vote in the first place.
Even if 90% people vote, if they only have choice between a turd or a piece of shit, that’s not really a choice 🫠
I have a self-hosted Baikal server with self-signed CA on Android 14 and it works.
However, I didn’t had to add the certificate to Davx⁵ itself. Adding a rootCA into your device and your reverse proxy handling the request should work as expected over https.
Those kind of things are difficult to troubleshoot, this could be:
- Bad rootCA certificate, missing the necessary options ?
- Wrong certificate handled by your reverse proxy ?
- Radicale doesn’t recognize your certificate extension ?
- Wrong networking configuration ?
- Bug ?
- …
We need more infos about your setup:
- Do you use a reverse proxy ?
- Had you already any success with this certificate within an other application ?
- Any logs from your Android, Davx⁵?
Yeaaah I already played a bit arround with step-ca ! Right now a make a mini-CA with openssl.
When I get more comfortable with how everything works together I will surely give step-ca another try.
Can’t argue against that.
However, I prefer local domain names accessible via Wireguard with self-signed certs. I like to understand how everything works under the hood !
Also, I’m broke AF and buying a domain name (even cheap ones) are out of my budget :(.
Okay thank you :). We will see after a few years I guess?
It doesn’t look like an “emergency alarm” to switch over to another database. However, I was already thinking of switching every container to postgres. Maybe that’s the push needed.
Hummm… Can someone tell me if this is good news or bad news?
Generally a buy-out is mostly bad news, but I can’t tell here in this specific case.
Except for the learning process and if you want your self-signed local domains in your lan !
https://jellyfin.homelab.domainis easier to access than IP addresses.
13·19 days agoThanks :) I don’t hate on consoles, they are cool stuff, however I get angry on all those stupid marketing terms just to sell you 20 more fps or some new fancy AI upscaling to fake some 4k quality on 90% of games.
Be it Microsoft, Sony or whatever… Just plain stupid marketing liars…
Don’t call it next-gen. Thats just marketing bullshit for enhanced previous generation.
There wasn’t any real improvement since ps1 release. It’s only getting slightly better in graphics, fps, color management, AI upscaling. That’s all, nothing more.
We are slowly hitting a roadblock of graphical evolution… The “real” next-gen would be something that will leave you jaw dropping, like it did with the first ps1 release. That was a next-generation release.
Right now they are just trying their best to sell some little improvement here and there calling it next-gen console… Humpf !
My first
rm -rmistake was a hard pill to swallow… You think this only happens to others or because people don’t take time to look carefully their command…Nah… when you’re experimenting new things (grep, exclude certain files, piping other commands, relative path vs absolute, sed, regex…) It can easily do some strange things you didn’t expected beforehand.
But hey that’s how you learn (I guess?). If everything would be perfect the first time you do something, the world would be annoying ? 😄
TIL there are different type of SSDs o_o
Yeah maybe I got so used to SSD’s that I can’t remember the leap between SSD’s and HDD’s.
An as you said the difference between M.2 isn’t that much of a difference in game. There probably lies my bias.
