Not understanding that "up to" is not a range sends me spiralling.

I have found adding the following four lines to the immich proxy host in nginx proxy manager (advanced tab) solved my immich syncing issues:

client_max_body_size 50000M;

proxy_read_timeout 600s;

proxy_send_timeout 600s;

send_timeout 600s;

FWIW, my library is about 22000 items large. Hope this helps someone.

TIHI. Simultaneously, I couldn't care less. I do, though, feel this push for transparency in the GUI is counter-productive. Thankfully Apple is bringing "Tinted" as a Liquid Glass option to iOS 26.1.

It's not only goo.gl links they are actively archiving. Take a look at their current tasks.

Docker container FTW. Thanks for the heads-up - this is a project I will happily throw a Hetzner server at.

Much appreciated. Sounds as if you're way out of spec. Still; should be interesting to go through your methods.

> - Those limited accounts? I use undocumented HomeAssistant APIs to lock them down to specific entities

Mind sharing your process to achieve what sounds like successful implementation of the much-requested ACL/RBAC support?

Yup; in our case it was in the cabin, a little to the left of the steering column.

As a kid, I watched my father pull a single fuse from the family 4x4's fuse box whenever we left the vehicle unattented for any extended period. Does a practical, lower-tech deterent exist?

Isn't this concept lifted directly from Ned Beauman's Venomous Lumpsucker? I'm hearing bells. Church bells. :)

“There can be many of the same name”… is this not a glaring issue? Surely unique names are a requirement for a successful social platform? If content is ephemeral, by default, at least allow usernames to be unique for that same period; i.e. register a username and, so long as one contributes to and interacts with the platform, ownership of the identity cannot change. Your Pro users can, naturally, register a username for “life”, whatever that means in 2023. ;p

Christ, this an impressive album... I revisit it every few years and it continues to blow me away. Shottkey 7th Path. Holy smokes.
