The guillotine?

Fuck you very mich for conflating privacy with illegality.

You are correct, it seems to have supported it for a while now, but it got more support now.

I’m afraid MusicBee is not for me since my household has been powered by Linux only for years now. I’ll look into that beets plugin though, which has been recommended to me somewhere in the comments before. Thanks!

“When gold was at US$4500, silver should have been US$300, but has been suppressed for all these 50-odd years by banks who’ve been short the whole time – and maybe I should get mad at myself for playing in a game where it’s manipulated, right?”

Read: “I should have won bigly, but I didn’t. But my ego tells me I can’t be wrong, so the game must have been rigged.”

Boy, does that remind me of someone…

Fuck this guy, the other guy, and fuck their corrupt moneymaking schemes.

“Using free Chinese models that you can run locally and offline is a security risk. People and businesses high on AI should be forced to use our expensive cloud-based models that funnel all their data through our servers and can be turned off or price-hiked by us at any moment!”

Personally I would absolutely not want to ever feed my documents into an off-device model, but the point of self-hosted software is that it does what you tell it to and they absolutely should include letting you make bad decisions. decide what’s right for you.

FTFY (although I share your judgment). No disagreement about the rest.

Care to specify what you mean by “that”? It’s been a lot.

Long-time immich user here, similar problem. The issue (for now) is that only the owner of the media has write access. With partner sharing, all you can do is read the media (and add them to albums).

What I do for now with “trash media” (e.g. photos of receipts and other stuff that one snaps pics of for practical reasons and then forgets): I add my partner’s trash to an album named “please delete”. I periodically ask them to go through it and remove anything they want to keep, then have them select and delete everything in that album in batch.

Why this may not be practical for you, OP: you have two “trash producers”, so you’d have to keep a “trash” album for each of them (and sort trash media correctly). This is tedious work and error-prone: if you have only one pic in you “trash” album that your account does not own, selecting and deleting everything will fail, sending you on a hunt for the one misclassified picture in a batch of >200…

What immich may do about this in the future, as according to their roadmap: in the past, they were planning to add “more granular permissions controls”. Right now, they’ve renamed that to

User groups: Manage groups of users and share albums with a group

I hope this will include permissions management as well.

Wither way, the feature is likely to come with a greater overhaul of partner sharing. Partner sharing, as of now, is partly “broken” due to past design decisions: you can’t

• write to your partner’s files
• share facial recognition data: each one needs to classify people in their pictures individually (e.g. both need to tag “Uncle Fred” individually in their own accounts)
• share memories: only pictures owned by you will show up in memories, not your partner’s

And before anybody asks: no, there’s no ETA…

Soon

And now, everyone!

“IN THE LAND OF THE FREE
AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE!”

That’s the thing: if constituents only get their info (or opinions) through chatbots…

…by axing or redirecting (read: embezzling) funds once spent on actual science?

True, although we must concede there is a difference between the simple machine learning already present in paperless and LLMs where, depending on quantization, CPU-based inference doesn’t get you very far.

He’s wrong. As long as there’s an “AI race”, everybody loses, including the supposed “winners”.

Hook up the TikTok repos and you’ll get downgrades every 20 seconds.

I do understand and share people’s hatred of corporate-owned, centralised cloud AI.

I understand (though share to a lesser degree) people’s ethical concerns about how these models were trained (copyright has been broken for a while now, this just exacerbates it).

But this level of outrage about using local models on an opt-in basis strikes me as hysterical.

Feel free to change my mind.

Man, that is so outdated! /s

So… Here’s another resource that will become available again once the bubble pops?

I’ve seen Immich mentioned around here before, but I’ve honestly never set up even a real homelab or sever before, so that’s a bit daunting.

I haven’t been in this space for too long either, but immich is what brought me here. I tried it out locally - no deecated server, just spun up immich on my desktop machine to try it out. And it was just so good it made me want to have a server and learn the ropes.

I’d recommend you try it out this way too. We’ll see each other on the other side of that rabbit hole. ;)
