I've got a lot of backed-up street-level imagery that I've captured for #OpenStreetMap, and it would be nice to have it in a more useful form than just a bunch of folders of JPEGs. Enter #Panoramax, a self-hostable SLI server.

@shoq every theater production will involve a great number of costumes and props. these are very often stored in some out-of-the-way corner of the theater, so that the next time they do that show 10 years down the line someone can pull the old costumes out and decide not to use them. (I joke […]

USB-C being standard and high-power and high-speed is great and all, but whoever designed the port definitely didn't design it to be easy to clean milk out of.

Pros and cons of this electric air duster:
Pros:
* It doesn't vent refrigerant directly into the atmosphere

Cons:

I do have a database backup from before the "upgrade", so I'll probably have to restore that. I might be able to get the ML container running on an old laptop or a Pi 3 I have laying around, but neither of those are particularly ideal.

I still can't recommend a project that makes unannounced […]

I recently migrated my photo library from Google Photos to self-hosted Immich, running on an old desktop computer. Up until now, it worked great.

But now the Immich project has decided to increase the CPU requirements for their machine learning container, which is required for search to work […]

turned out getting a bike down from the shed, putting air in the tires, etc, then deciding the seat was too uncomfortable to ride for any length of time, getting another bike out, finding out it had even worse brakes...
