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.

Trying to extort the federal government like that seems like a really quick way to end up with your face, phone number and home address in a press release, along with a note from the NSA that basically says “this guy has $33 million in Bitcoin, would be a shame if someone kicked in his door and beat him with a bat until he gave up the keys :)”
Especially when “tmpfiles” is an existing term of art with a very specific meaning
its more likely than you think
The early twenties intermediate dev on my team was explaining the other week that if you remember a time before smartphones and broadband, you are old
I personally am familiar with 2 organisations with millions of dollars in annual revenue that deploy critical line of business applications like this in 2024
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
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
Weren’t the shit balloons retaliation for the south sending balloons to drop propaganda leaflets?
My 10 year prediction - Microsoft does a full transition to a services company:
Taking donations for a specific purpose (developing jellyfin core) then spending it on something else (donations to other related projects) is something donors and tax authorities generally frown on
Pretty much - I try and time it so the dumps happen ~an hour before restic runs, but it’s not super critical
pg_dumpall
on a schedule, then restic to backup the dumps. I’m running Zalando Postgres in kubernetes so scheduled tasks and intercontainer networking is a bit simpler, but should be able to run a sidecar container in your compose file
If you thought the bots were obnoxious now…
Fun fact, a significant proportion of the people doing these scams are victims of human trafficking who are being forced into it with threats of violence
This is where I’d put my Framework laptop
IF THEYD SELL ME ONE
If you figure it out, I know several companies that would be more than willing to drop 7 figures a year to license the tech from you
Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions
git-annex maybe?
