<p>> There are no physical buttons on the front<p>That's too bad. For whatever reason I find swipe gestures on e-ink annoying. I currently use a Kobo Clara BW and miss dedicated page-turning buttons.<p>I see they're offering the print files for the case, maybe there will be some pins on the ESP32 exposed somewhere for adding buttons</p>

<p>I figure out the most significant value I can and just zero/one out the rest. So "February 1976" becomes 1976-02-01 00:00:00. That is an unlikely timestamp, so it tells me the whole thing is an estimate.<p>This convention works for me because I'm dating slides and negatives taken by deceased relatives before I was born, mostly of children I've only known as adults. Aside from birthday parties I never know the specific day, and it's unlikely anyone in the future will <i>really</i> care beyond having the pictures in a reasonable overall order.</p>

<p>"Ownership" is something only the HN set cares about. The reason your average person hates app subscriptions the author relegated to a footnote: they mostly exist to trick you into paying for the app more than once.<p>Folks pay for all sorts of subscriptions, nobody cares about ownership, but when my mom finds out she's been paying $0.99/mo for a "countdown timer" app she used a few times over a year ago she swears off paying for apps for good.</p>

<p>Years ago, when he was still in NYC, I posted a minor technical correction under one of his videos on reddit and received a rambling essay-length reply plus an aggressive DM from him about how "people like me" are trying to bring him down, all at ~4am his time. That's not "filtering out what matters" it's evidence of paranoid mania, and that's all I see in his videos now.<p>I'm glad he's been able to turn this into a career doing genuinely good work that I agree with, but he is first and foremost a drama youtuber and that requires a confrontational personality.</p>

<p>NYC's advantage is that older office buildings are more amenable to adaptive reuse.<p>Modern office buildings have deep floor plates and sealed windows, relying heavily on HVAC and artificial lighting to make the center of the building habitable. Bedrooms require exterior windows, so an optimal floorplan is a ring of bedrooms around the outside which leaves gobs of low value square footage in the middle.</p>

<p>I'm saying your contribution is outdated and irrelevant, and my primary intention in commenting is to label it as such for any passers-by who might think you're talking about the current state Immich.<p>That sad, I'm happy to answer your questions. I've run Immich in docker for 3 years with automatic updates through watchtower. Updates are frequent but require no effort from me and have never broken anything, nor is there an "update script" to fail. Nor have I encountered "corruption" at any point. I do back up the database and my photo library.<p>I'm glad you're happy with your solution, you can share it without disparaging other solutions you're unfamiliar with.</p>

<p>This is a good usage pattern if you're absolutely married to the file structure you have and/or want to keep using the files where they are.<p>Not really applicable if what you have is a google takeout dump.

<p>The shared fiction of "intellectual property" is crumbling. People who grew up with normalized piracy at the consumer level and industrialized exploitation of artists' works at the corporate level don't see the value of it.<p>Add to that the fact that anyone can simply do what they want with the bits on their computer, and sharing anything over the internet means giving them a copy of those bits, the technical barriers are gone too.<p>This isn't a value judgement just an observation.</p>

<p>> why would law enforcement and courts go along with it?<p>They don't want to deal with it. If someone has one of those SovCit license plates, you know pulling them over is guaranteed to result in frustrating verbal sparring match, which may result in the cop giving up (which is then shared as evidence for the SovCit movement's effectiveness!), or may escalate to a physical altercation.<p>Whether or not the SovCit practitioners understand that's what's happening is anyone's guess.</p>
