The early twenties intermediate dev on my team was explaining the other week that if you remember a time before smartphones and broadband, you are old
I personally am familiar with 2 organisations with millions of dollars in annual revenue that deploy critical line of business applications like this in 2024
Very NSFW
They are, but I think the question was more “does the increased speed of an SSD make a practical difference in user experience for immich specifically”
I suspect that the biggest difference would be running the Postgres DB on an SSD where the fast random access is going to make queries significantly faster (unless you have enough ram that Postgres can keep the entire DB in memory where it makes less of a difference).
Putting the actual image storage on SSD might improve latency slightly, but your hard drive is probably already faster than your internet connection so unless you’ve got lots of concurrent users or other things accessing the hard drive a bunch it’ll probably be fast enough.
These are all Reckons without data to back it up, so maybe do some testing
Weirdest episode of binging with babish
Taking donations for a specific purpose (developing jellyfin core) then spending it on something else (donations to other related projects) is something donors and tax authorities generally frown on
Pretty much - I try and time it so the dumps happen ~an hour before restic runs, but it’s not super critical
pg_dumpall
on a schedule, then restic to backup the dumps. I’m running Zalando Postgres in kubernetes so scheduled tasks and intercontainer networking is a bit simpler, but should be able to run a sidecar container in your compose file
Fun fact, a significant proportion of the people doing these scams are victims of human trafficking who are being forced into it with threats of violence
If you figure it out, I know several companies that would be more than willing to drop 7 figures a year to license the tech from you
Yeah, they are mostly designed for classification and inference tasks; given a piece of input data, decide which of these categories it belongs to - the sort of things you are going to want to do in near real time, where it isn’t really practical to ship off to a data centre somewhere for processing.
Dealing with this at the moment - in an org that’s been pretty lax at writing anything down about what and why as far as internal software goes, trying (with support from C-suite) to get people to actually write up any amount of detail in their requests is like pulling teeth.
I tend to take that position as well; if it’s not defined, I get to define it. If I ask for feedback or review and get silence, that means you approve.
Because accountants mostly.
For large businesses, you essentially have two ways to spend money:
This leaves companies in a slightly odd spot where from an accounting standpoint, it might look better on the books to spend $3 million/year on cloud stuff than $10 million every 5 years on servers
Seems pretty reasonable. At the end of the day people have to eat, so projects like this either trundle on as hobby-and-spare-time projects for a few years until people get bored and burnt out, or you find a way to make working on the project a paid gig for the core people
Didn’t mean to put you off if it’s something you are interested in, just be aware with what you are dealing with going into it.
Small desktop CNCs are relatively affordable, but only cut in 2 dimensions. Laser cutters fill a similar niche, are a bit more limited in the types of materials they can cut and how thick the material can be, are a bit more forgiving than a CNC (no risk of breaking milling bits if you screw up), but have safety issues to be aware of. I’m not aware of any hobby-grade muli-axis CNC machines, but there might be ones out there
For minis and other things where you want lots of small details you want a resin/SLA printer.
Idk, if you want to test people on how they understand formulae and order of operations without letting them just punch it into a calculator. The actual math isn’t hard, but if you don’t get substituting values into an equation then it’s not trivial
Anyone have an actual citation on this particular fact?
I was in the same place as you a few years ago - I liked swarm, and was a bit intimidated by kubernetes - so I’d encourage you to take a stab at kubernetes. Everything you like about swam kubernetes does better, and tools like k3s make it super simple to get set up. There _is& a learning curve, but I’d say it’s worth it. Swarm is more or less a dead end tech at this point, and there are a lot more resources about kubernetes out there.
