It is such a shame that ZFS isn’t a straightforward option on almost all distros.

I’d love to try symfonium but I am on iOS.

I know there is a lot about Plex to hate, but I am always grateful for Plexamp. It requires a Plex pass, but it’s worth it for Plexamp alone imo.

What is your question?

Live Photos works in Immich.

One thing I really like about Apple photos is the memories that it suggests.

I use SyncThing and it works great for my use case but I think it is not the recommended option for backups.

If you are running zfs on both servers you could look at sanoid.

Yeah. I also appreciate the ability to actually fix most problems. I probably ran into fewer problems on windows, but when I did, the problems were beyond repair.

Almost all routers can handle gigabit, which is almost certainly what you want if you plan on doing local networking. A typical hard drive has speeds of about a gigabit. There is no reason to get anything slower. You can also get some gigabit switches (or even faster if you are using nvme on both machines) and connect two machines that need fast speeds between them to it. Most switches will be able to send packets to each other without going through the router.

If you really want to do some learning you could try to set up an opnsense box on an old PC and connect that to a switch. It’s feature rich and completely modular and upgradable. This is probably the best thing you could do if you want to learn something but also the worst thing to do if you want consistent uptime since you can pretty easily break stuff if you don’t read the docs.

That said, as others have mentioned openwrt on a used router is probably the best of both worlds - feature rich but less breakable.

I primarily use Libre Wolf but playing back hdr videos in Plex might just be easier to use Chromium than mpv.

It’s funny, I’ve heard this so many times. And read through the docs. But I’m a mad lad who has auto updates (I know!) and have never had an issue with Immich.

While you’re at it consider using docker.

This is great but it would have to be pretty terrific to get me to replace Plasma.

All great recommendations here. But I’ve heard good things about PdfDing. I haven’t used it myself but have followed development since the developer is quite active.

Not what you’re asking about, but this guy was very inspirational for me wrt making latex diagrams easily.

Yeah I was just about to point that out for ya.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure a huge proportion of Lemmy users on the self hosting community run Linux, kind of a swing and a miss advertisement in these parts.

Makes sense. Thanks for the info!

Maybe it hasn’t been fully implemented yet but when I play HDR videos in MPV right now it is still not working. But running that command works as expected.

Couldn’t you already do this using the command below? (Under “video”)

No hate, but I laughed out loud when I read distraction free and saw that the first screenshot shows an embedded browser.

Like, I get that there is value in having an embedded browser but if it’s there then I would not consider the editor to be distraction free.
