  • External Libraries

    External libraries tracks assets stored outside of immich, i.e. in the file system. Immich will only read data from the files, and will not modify them in any way. Therefore, the delete button is disabled for external assets. When the external library is scanned, immich will read the metadata from the file and create an asset in the library for each image or video file. These items will then be shown in the main timeline, and they will look and behave like any other asset, including viewing on the map, adding to albums, etc.

  • Please do. Maybe you‘ll find something useful. I found radicale working best for me (it was easy to install and selfhost). Selfhosting covers many topics, so it‘s difficult to share additional links here. But if you do a websearch, you should find good tutorials. Try to host in the local network first, and install a VPN to access services like CalDAV or CardDAV on the road. This will keep you from spending time on additional security considerations when hosting something on a public accessible host, which can be overwhelming when still being at the beginning.







  • I recently saw a blogpost somewhere, where someone used git versioning for writing, and I find this idea highly intriguing. Then I realized, that I already have an app that would allow me to work like this: NotesHub

    For now, I only started a journal, but I plan for some time already to start writing again.

    Obsidian is great too, but a pain when it comes to syncing on iOS.


  • Yeah, I feel the same about hypes, still ansible seems like a useful concept. Anyway, I agree it should support actual needs and not collecting dust somewhere. Which in my case are some microcontrollers.

    Lemmy was my way back into federation and so far I enjoy it! :)

    It think to strive for a simple to maintain solution is not necessarily requiring technology from the early days of the internet. We‘ve come a long way and personally I enjoy to be able to build something „simple“ that still looks modern. So, yes. I try to keep the amount of screen time small, but there are so many cool services out there to try!
