  • I think there are few overlapping things here that are probably worth pulling apart. Keep in mind that all of these are spectrums, some people might experience these acutely, others mildly, others not at all.

    • Gender non-comformance: having a preference for activities that are typically ascribed to or preferring to appear as the gender opposite to the one you present as - men who like wearing dresses and sewing, women who prefer having short cropped hair and playing rugby
    • Transgender - a feeling that your sex (your biology) does not match up with your gender (do you consider yourself to be a man or a woman?). Gender is a really complex thing and is pretty strongly informed by society - what were you taught “man” and “woman” means beyond just sex. For some people this disconnect can be dysphoric, and it quite often overlaps with gender non-comformance
    • Transition - changing your gender presentation to be different from your sex. This can be small things - changing your hair style - to large changes such as getting legal recognition for a new name and gender identity or seeking medical interventions.

    I guess my point is that there are plenty of people who engage in small non-conformances or who feel like their experience of being man doesn’t 100% line up with how society perceives men, and that’s valid, and is a trans experience, but doesn’t mean that they do or should feel like “trans” is a label or identity that applies to them. In the same way that you can understand that you are a little bit bi, without that being a significant part of your identity



  • Fundamentally I guess there is a disconnect here around what “safe for work” means, and what the “not safe for work” function is for.

    To me, unless you work in a primary school or something a journalistic article from a reputable newspaper that discusses (but does not explicitly depict) sex or sex work wouldn’t be considered inappropriate content for someone to be reading. It’s journalism, it’s intent is not to be titillating or lewd . If this was “my life as a sex worker” published on someone’s onlyfans then that’s probably different; different context and different intent.

    Imo, the “NSFW” flag should be reserved for the “would it be ok if I scrolled past this on the bus with a child sitting next to me” - explicit or graphic violence or sex.

    Mastodon does this better - beyond the NSFW flag, you can add arbitrary content warning flags, so if you think your content might offend or upset, you can highlight that fact so people can choose to skip it.

    Just my $0.02. I’m from a European background so I guess attitudes and norms about sex might be a bit different compared to the US.


  • 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.







  • 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



  • Because half the country votes for a party that explicitly says this is a good way to run things, and the other half votes for a party that says it isn’t great, but we shouldn’t really do anything meaningful about it.

    Until there is mass “you are all assholes and we demand a more representative electoral system” demonstrations, nothing will change.

    Readers may note that this applies to basically every problem in the US right now



  • Yeah - the dose is the poison (if you drink enough water it becomes toxic), so if you are talking precisely you need to describe the concentration of a substance in which it is likely lethal to a person, and that’s typically expressed as mass of a substance per mass of bodyweight. A lot of the time you will also see this expressed as an “LD50” value; the dose at which you’d expect 50% of people to die. This accounts for the fact that people’s metabolisms vary quite widely.

    ~1ng/kg ~= 0.08ug for a typical (~80kg) person, which is a very tiny amount - whatever you are talking about is incredibly toxic.

    I’ve not heard any out-and-out horror stories, but I’ve got no first hand experience.

    I’m planning on picking up 3x manufacturer recertified 18TB drives from SPD when money allows, but for now I’m running 6x ancient (minimum 4 years old) 3TB WD Reds in RAID 6. I keep a close eye on SMART stats, and can pick up a replacement within a day if something starts to look iffy. My plan is to treat the 18TBs the same; hard drives are consumables, they wear out over time, and you have to be ready to replace them when they do


  • Sounds like a great idea - I suspect the biggest obstacle will be finding someone at the home who is confident enough in what to do with it to be willing to accept it.

    I’ve run into similar issues with schools where they are hesitant to accept donations of things like that because they don’t want to be saddled with equipment they don’t know how to use and maintain. Maybe worth seeing if you can raise a bit of money for a second hand Xbox or something?
