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. The thing about solitude is that it’s enjoyable when you are not reminded that you are alone. Today I…

TimeTagger and Christmas
Reading Time: 3 minutesIt’s the twenty fourth today, and people who have been good will soon get things, and those who haven’t will get a lump of coal. Given enough pressure that coal could become a diamond. At such a time it’s interesting to take stock of how productive, or unproductive the year has been.…

The Subtle Art of Trial and Error
Reading Time: 4 minutesFor 40 CHF you can buy a Tapo or Xiaomi webcam and it is almost ready to be used as a webcam. You take it out of the box, plug it in, add an SD card, download the app, pair it with the phone and let the phone connect it to wifi…

From Timelogger to Timetagger
Reading Time: 4 minutesFor at least two or three years I have been using Timelogger and I really liked the app. That’s why I kept using it for so long. There is one fatal flaw to Timelogger. It wants you to pay 2 CHF per month, or 9 CHF per year, or 25 CHF for…

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. No decent human being needs a car that can run people over without being damaged. Imagine cycling in a world with bastards driving cybertrucks. It's frightening enough without the cyberfucks.
