Uninvited Guest

Sure, but what about when you use a laptop on your… Lap?

On a couch, bed, bus, plane, train, waiting room chair, etc.

I dunno how people can knock the option. I can’t stand using a laptop without a touchscreen.

Quick interaction with small elements at distances across the screen? Absolutely I’m preferring poking the screen over the touchpad.

I would never drop the touchpad in favour of a touchscreen, but I feel it when the touchscreen is missing.

What is DoH?

What’s with some really scary companies (Anduril, Palantir) cribbing their names from LOTR?

I use a Radxa Rock 5B running an Android TV ROM. Sits in a 3D printed case and has a silent little Noctua fan keeping it cool. Could be better - the ROM has a little jank to it - but it has taken everything I’ve thrown at it so far.

Looks very nice. Also looks very pricey.

No, there’s a web installer than is run entirely on device.

Oh man. Of all the self-hosted projects to not grasp, you picked the darling.

The creator of Immich had the same use case that got me in to self hosting:

1. A new family with child.
2. A whole lot of photos and video to share between the spouse and with extended family.
3. Ballooning Google (One) photos costs, to which I asked: am I going to pay this forever? Storage also caps out at 2 tb, which we are using more than.
4. A growing discontent with the idea of every family moment being harvested by a tech company I do not like.

At the core - Immich allows me a continuity of service and saves money while keeping spousal approval at the required levels.
