I'm using restic to backup the Immich photo directories as well as automatically generated Immich database dumps to an external drive and a Hetzner Storage Box.

There's at least some of the original ANSI Art of BitchX in there.

Here are some examples:

> Given an existing collection - Is there an easy way to auto sort & tag everything? e.g. Merge the artists 'Guns N Roses' and 'Guns and Roses' into the most correct one.

I've recently started using Beets[1] to organize my music collection. It's a command line application that IMHO is not entirely intuitive to use at first. But once you get the hang of it, it works incredibly well.

Using the nginx module on NixOS[1] and enabling services.nginx.validateConfigFil, which defaults to true, generated nginx configurations will be checked by Gixy[2]. The build will actually fail if Gixy finds any issues.
