Undaunted

Thank you that is really helpful! I'll look into it! It's probably a bit of work until it is a smooth workflow but I'm willing to try it. Maybe then I can finally ditch Lightroom :)

Ideally I would love to have the votes synced back to digiKam, especially if it's about sorting out hundreds of photos. But that sounds like a workable solution until I found or developed a plugin, that can do this. Thank you!

I also want to make the switch away from Lightroom and it looks like that you here might have the solution for my problem. The Lightroom feature, where I can import everything on my PC and then sync these "smart previews" to their cloud and then hand out a link or just a tablet to my wife, friends or anyone, makes everything so much easier. They can then decide which photos they want to keep or be deleted and also label those, which I should develop first. Is there a FOSS (or at least non-Adobe) solution that would give me similar possibilities? I'm not afraid of hosting something myself.

My PC has a i7-4790k overclocked to 4.5 GHz. It runs smoothly since I got it when it came out and it is still not a bottleneck in any of the games I play. But if I wanted to upgrade to Windows 11 I would need to buy a new CPU, new main board and new RAM, and it would not improve my gaming experience at all. It was my last machine running windows which I changed to Linux 2 months ago and I haven't looked back.

What services do you think are worth letting them violate my rights to my personal information?

Oh yes please make Meta pull all their crap out of the EU. I can't wait for it!

As wgbirnr already said, the admin has more important real life stuff to do unfortunately. If I understood it correctly, the lack of storage also killed the database, leaving it in an inconsistent state. In addition to that there seems to be an issue with the backups so no easy rollback and probably a lot of manual fixing needed.

It seems to be an issue where ImageMagick filled up the drive, which in turn killed the database. After freeing the space, the database has now an inconsistent state and throws errors. It also looks like the db backups are corrupt. For whatever reason I'm still able to use this account through the Sync app.

I have these information from their matrix room https://matrix.io/#/#feddit:tilde.fun

Gamechanger for me was automation with home assistant. I attached sensors everywhere and wrote scripts that nag me with notifications on my phone. For example I have a smart wall plug where the washer is attached to. If the power draw first rises over a threshold it means, that I started the washer. If it goes below a theeshold that means it's finished and it sends a notification. To make sure I don't ignore it, I attached a door/window sensor to the washer's door. So it reminds me every 5 minutes until I open that fucking door.

And I tried to identify as many situations like these as possible so it takes care of reminding me. It's not perfect and many things are not feasible to automate. But it helps me a lot!

I'm not saying that rewriting he backend is a good choice, but for me specifically, I'd like Lemmy to be written in Java. Why? I'm a Java software engineer for nearly 7 years now and I'd like to contribute. Yes, I could learn Rust, like I did learn Go, C, C++ and other languages during my cs studies. But I really don't have the free time and motivation to do that after I already worked 8-10 hours at my computer. If I could use my existing Java knowledge to quickly fix some small bugs or whatever, I'd love to do that. But the hurdle to learn a new language (including other paradigms and best practices) just to contribute to this one project is just too high for me.

I'm using Kagi for quite some time now and it's awesome. But recently I was using a different machine and did not have my login credentials at hand so I used Google and holy shit I didn't remember Google giving such aweful results. I was not able to find what I was looking for. Then searched the same thing on my phone through Kagi and the solution was in the first three results. So yes I also feel that Google search is getting worse.

I know it's not the point of this post but holy cow is that an atrocious AI image.
