Reading Time: 3 minutesRecently I have been listening to plenty of [Late Night Linux](https://latenightlinux.com/) podcasts. I like them because they’re half an hour long, the adverts are half way through the show, and in general I don’t feel that they’re filling time to fill one and a half hours of podcast time.

Kdrive and PhotoPrism
Reading Time: 2 minutesYesterday I configured PhotoPrism to work with my iPhone photo album that was being synced to Infomaniak’s Kdrive, before then being synced to a drive that I could access via the Photoprism docker-compose config file.

Photoprism and Fast Loading
