I was too lazy and immich-go may not have existed when I migrated but I just selected and downloaded my pictures from Google Photos then just uploaded them to Immich and they seemed to keep all their metadata.

I recently realized I’m not affected by it either, for nearly 40 years I just thought I was great at identifying it and just careful. My wife got into it a few years back and it was horrible for her (big welts and oozing stuff, pretty gross), when she went to the doctor they were like, “Yep, that’s poison ivy, here is some cream and a shot, be more careful”; so I went out and cleared all of it I could find and learned how to properly identify it.

I still try to wear gloves because I’ve heard that you can eventually start having a reaction but I have debated the idea of using an aerosolized form of the oil as an emergency oh shit button if an unidentified masked person tries to pull me out my car.

Those leaves remind me of stinging nettles… I’m sure Gympie-Gympie is worse, but my first time being stung by nettles scared the shit out of me as they got me clear through my jeans.

Before my life shifted more into integrations I was a fan of running:

systeminfo | find "System Boot"

I wasn’t out to call anyone out, but sometimes users honestly believed they had rebooted and I would find of the the day’s lucky 10k. It also helped to figure out which users would just blankly say they’ve done everything.

My wife woke up to a scare when she found a chipmunk in her toilet in the middle of the night. We have no clue how it got in there unless it came in through the cat door and fell in (we are in Georgia in the US for reference).

I agree at least a little bit… I have no issue peeing with it down. The down votes have it!

Growing up, pretty much all our hick schools had were encyclopedias; when wikipedia showed up it felt like they were just against the ease of it’s use. Smarter kids would still use the sources cited in Wikipedia, but teachers hated when you referenced a research paper because they couldn’t find it.

Every single time I’ve tried the local area code plus 876-5309 has worked… Been using it since the days you’d enter a phone number to print coupons from a kiosk (I didn’t have a phone at the time). Now I enter it as second nature anytime a pin pad prompts me for a number.

Sec+ is a great one to have if you are looking for a job with the Federal government (looking at your home instance that might not be your thing but it pays decent and they are the largest employer in the US if you live over here). Check out the 2210 job series on usajobs.gov, most want Sec+ within 6 months of hiring but it helps to already have it.

I absolutely loved the release of LMDE, it’s just what I like though, the simple intuitive interface of Mint, without dealing with Canonical’s bullshit (really sour about snaps, ignore me lol).

Edit: picked back up my phone and reread what was on the screen when I realized you probably meant desktop environment and not Debian Edition when you typed DE.

I’m debating scrapping my homelab and hoping to retire, one of my servers has 768 GB, most of which isn’t assigned to any VMs…

Just to toss this in there, it totally wasn’t a bug, you were sending a deauth packet to force them to reconnect then recapturing their auth sequence until you had enough packets to crack the WEP key. A pretty fun demo back then was to setup a wireless bridge between an open public network and a rogue AP (usually we’d just use a pcmcia WiFi card bridge to the internal WiFi adapter); then (due to pretty much no https anywhere), you could follow peoples browsing habits, log into their MySpace/LiveJournal/DeadJournal/GeoCities/etc (passwords were pretty commonly passed in plaintext), etc.

It was never done nefariously, but allowed us to learn a lot.

Same, its been 20 years now and even though some times were rough, going through them with my best friend by my side made it so much better!

The fuck did I just watch? That was pretty funny.

Black and White was such a fun game.

Moving to the cloud isn’t going to solve your uptime issues, it’s still hosted on a server, just now you can’t physically touch it. Please bring critical stuff back in house so we can maintain it and know why its down.

Personal opinion, but I would never give an AI agent full control like that. Give it it’s own user space and let it fuck that one up.

As rough as it is, fingers crossed you have a backup and this is a great time to run through the recovery side of it.

I could, but then I would have issues getting to it from work; from the bit I’ve read about mTLS, it’s not really indended for my use case, I think I’ll just stick with TLS.

I keep mine accessible from the internet, its just more useful to me like that. I do have registration disabled though and SSO is handled by Authentik so it could be worse (my personal goal has just been to not be the easiest target, perfect security is a myth in my mind).

Name brand did that shit too so at least Kroger kept it going for a while.
