  • I guess it's a unique situation for everyone. My TV is huge, heavy, and requires at least 2 people (I used 3 people) to carefully move it out. Laptops are easy and fast to take. I don't think one would stop there though. I don't have gold n cash laying around like some other Lemmy users here, lol.

    I'm not sure if I have anything else that's valuable. No tablets. Not much tools. Uh. What else do people have that is sellable?

    My home server is a smallish ITX box. I could see some idiot thinking computers -> gaming -> expensive -> money.

  • I mean... I've been selling and buying used computer equipment on eBay for way more than $20...

  • Interesting. I recently was job hunting in 2025, January to June. In US. I was looking for remote only jobs.

    My stats:

    • Number of jobs applied to: 53
    • Number of rejections: 52
    • Number of jobs that rejected me with an internal referral: 4
    • Number of offers: 1
    • Search duration: 24 weeks

    I guess I was applying to 2.2 per week. I was also mixing in studying and preparing for interviews during that time. Still slow though.

    16 applications per week. Nice! Good job!

  • What are the complaints?

  • I just bought my parents a Brother HLL3280CDW color laser printer and printed some pretty colorful graphics and omg the color quality was straight up tra—fine actually, good actually?

    I was pretty surprised because I tend to see posts talk about how horrible laser color printers are and my experience seems to be exactly the opposite. At least on this Brother printer, printing big color charts, graphics, with full color backgrounds and patterns, seems great. I can't tell the difference between laser and inkjet.

    they’re trash for photo printing

    I haven't tried this yet, but maybe one of these days I'll buy some glossy photo paper and try printing photos. I'll have to report back.

  • OK! Migration complete! Everything went fine. I think the duplicate command might be from an older version? Idk. I just ran immich-go upload from-google-photos and the de-duplication happened automatically.

  • Google Takeout is a way to export your Google Photos (or other Google data).

  • Also, this assumes you have enough Google Drive storage to hold a copy of your entire photo collection. Definitely not possible in my case.

  • Remove Duplicates

    Excellent! This is my next question.

    I've already partially synced my Google Photos library by installing Immich on my Android phone and enabling Immich backups. But I see that the oldest photo in Google Photos is way older than what Immich has.

    So now I'm worried that when I run immich-go with the full takeout archives, I'm going to get a ton of duplicates because half of my library is already on immich.

    What's the duplicate command? I can't find it in the CLI...

     
        
    $ immich-go duplicate --help
    Error: unknown command "duplicate" for "immich-go"
    Run 'immich-go --help' for usage.
    unknown command "duplicate" for "immich-go"
    
    $ immich-go  --help
    An alternative to the immich-CLI command that doesn't depend on nodejs installation. It tries its best for importing google photos takeout archives.
    
    Usage:
      immich-go [command]
    
    Available Commands:
      archive     Archive various sources of photos to a file system
      completion  Generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
      help        Help about any command
      stack       Update Immich for stacking related photos
      upload      Upload photos to an Immich server from various sources
      version     Give immich-go version
    
    Flags:
      -h, --help               help for immich-go
      -l, --log-file string    Write log messages into the file
          --log-level string   Log level (DEBUG|INFO|WARN|ERROR), default INFO (default "INFO")
          --log-type string    Log formatted  as text of JSON file (default "text")
      -v, --version            version for immich-go
    
    Use "immich-go [command] --help" for more information about a command.
    
    $ immich-go version
    immich-go version:0.27.0,  commit:64221e90df743148a8795994af51552d9b40604f, date:2025-06-29T06:22:46Z
    
      
  • OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH. omg. I just realized the drop down menu scrolls!!! 😂

  • I bought a NAS appliance once. I didn't like it for basically the same reasons you listed. Since then I've moved to a regular Linux machine and it's been great.

    It's probably worth it to get a whole other computer and run that 24/7. That way you can mess up your personal desktop and not mess up any of your hosted apps.

  • Beans for breakfast is also in Mexican food. So not weird to me.

  • AI is a really good demo for a lot of people, but once you start using it, the gains you can get from it end up being somewhat minimal without doing some serious work.

    I'm so sick of "AI demos" at work. Every demo goes like this.

    1. Generate text with an LLM.
    2. Don't fact check it.
    3. Don't verify it works.
    4. Oooh and aahhh at random numbers and charts.
    5. Higher ups all clap and say we could be 10x more productive if more people would just use AI more.

    Meanwhile they ignore that zero AI projects have actually stuck around or get used in a meaningful way.

  • I'm not really worried about competing with the vibe coders. At least on my team, those guys tend to ship more bugs, which causes the fire alarm to go off later.

    I'd rather build a reputation of being a little slower, but more stable and higher quality. I want people to think, "Ah, nice. Paequ2 just merged his code. We're saved." instead of, "Shit. Paequ2 just merged. Please nothing break..."

    Also, those guys don't really seem to be closing tickets faster than me. Typing words is just one small part of being a programmer.

  • One employee posted that the AI assistant started telling people that the restaurant was out of everything but drinks and sauce packets. A person attempting to order a Chalupa Supreme with onions from the AI assistant ended up with three chalupas, and when they tried to replace meat with beans, the AI simply refused.

    So things are not going great, but that is not stopping Taco Bell from pushing forward with its AI embrace in one way or another.

    Taco Bell: No, ¡más! 😂

  • 😭 Daaaammnnn... this is gonna be the answer... 😭
