Swiper, no swiping!
Kinda? My bare bones initial self hosted media streaming setup was put together by my partner. It’s no longer bare bones, because I’ve since upgraded it, added new functionality and I keep it going.
I got a new PC. I installed Windows on it. I felt dirty, so I said fuck it, and installed Linux instead.
It wasn’t any one specific thing, but a lifetime of windows frustrations adding up, on top of a growing frustration with enshittified tools and services in general
That was 4 months ago.
We’re on a similar timeline! I’ve been using Linux fulltime for about the same length of time, after multiple previous attempts to make it stick
No Flash, No Java, No Websocket, No Bullshit.
No Australia
I use digikam with sidecar files on my main photo editing PC.
We sync this directory with a media server on the local network that enables all of the local devices to access the photos and tags. In theory, it means we could run digikam on another device as well, and sync data between them via updates to the sidecar files, but in practice, we don’t do this and the media server is effectively read only.
Then, we sync the media server images with a photoprism instance that we have running on external hosting. Photoprism recognises the keywords and sidecar data from digikam, which lets me search and access the images from anywhere.
Cachy Zen 4 is running nicely on my PC!
Oh, Flex Launcher looks perfect! I didn’t even know I needed it!
At the moment, fish doesn’t know what to do with run0. When that changes, I’ll start using it :)
I own my computer. But on Windows, it doesn’t feel like that…
Yay! 4.8 supports my camera! I can finally stop running darktable nightlies
Digikam. It supports grouping (or stacking as it’s called in Lightroom) by filename, so you can auto group RAW and JPG. It has hot keys for flagging rejects/approvals during initial inspections and review, so you can just fly through them.
Photoprism is not suitable as part of a post editing workflow. It’s a gallery for displaying and searching your photos after they’ve been sorted and edited.
I’m just here for the Shadowrun screenshot in the video…
There’s a few “Your question here” questions…
We skipped 6 and went for 7. So far, we have no devices that support 7, so it hasn’t been “worth it” yet, but it will save us having to upgrade.
And the Wifi 6 compatible devices we have certainly benefit from it.
It made a difference in the quality of the connection from my kiddo’s room. Wifi 6 certainly beat the crappy, interference ridden ethernet over power adaptor we had been using on their old PC
This is kinda the opposite of what you’re asking for, but might address the reason that you’re asking the question?
CachyOS is an Arch based distro, but it precompiles many arch packages (and some AUR packages) in several versions, optimised for either x86_64-v3 or x86_64-v4.
So if your goal is “optimised” rather than “compile yourself” it might be worth looking at
That’s what I did a couple of months ago. New PC, got rid of Windows and moved to Arch. The old PC is running Arch as well, and acts as our media PC.
Offline hours? Is that something that happens often enough to need a work around?
