Installing Immich Alongside Photoprism
Reading Time: 5 minutesLast night I installed Immich on an HP laptop with ease. The issue I came up against is that laptops sleep and hibernate after a few minutes unless you are actively using them. This means that you need to use them whilst files are being transferred if you do not want tasks…

The Long Walk and More Playing with Nextcloud
Reading Time: 3 minutesTwo days ago I went for a longer walk than usual. I walked along roads rather than along the narrow agricultural roads I normally use. I wanted to avoid crowds and dog walkers.

Walking in Heavy Rain
Reading Time: 3 minutesI knew that it would rain heavy yesterday (at the time when you read this) so I considered running so that I would spend less time in the weather. The issue, at this time of year, is that if you run you need to do so before the sun sets but you…

Reading Time: < 1 minuteReblog via harmonicarichard https://mastodon.social/@jpmens/111532759490595481 I hate the cybertruck for this reason.
