I was in the same place as you a few years ago - I liked swarm, and was a bit intimidated by kubernetes - so I'd encourage you to take a stab at kubernetes. Everything you like about swam kubernetes does better, and tools like k3s make it super simple to get set up. There _is& a learning curve, but I'd say it's worth it. Swarm is more or less a dead end tech at this point, and there are a lot more resources about kubernetes out there.

Trying to extort the federal government like that seems like a really quick way to end up with your face, phone number and home address in a press release, along with a note from the NSA that basically says "this guy has $33 million in Bitcoin, would be a shame if someone kicked in his door and beat him with a bat until he gave up the keys :)"

Especially when "tmpfiles" is an existing term of art with a very specific meaning

its more likely than you think

Depends why you want to be located in Australia

• If you are worried about data sovereignty, I'm not aware of any services that are based in Australia but aren't US or EU owned
• If you are more concerned about latency/TTFB, CloudFlare has several POPs in Australia so pages should be just as fast as anywhere else
• If you are willing to roll your own with AWS, you could set up a GitHub actions job to upload to an S3 bucket (which you can locate in ap-southeast) then serve it out of Cloudfront (AWSs edge cache service). Unless you are doing a ton of traffic it'd probably be within the free tier limit as well

The early twenties intermediate dev on my team was explaining the other week that if you remember a time before smartphones and broadband, you are old

I personally am familiar with 2 organisations with millions of dollars in annual revenue that deploy critical line of business applications like this in 2024

They are, but I think the question was more "does the increased speed of an SSD make a practical difference in user experience for immich specifically"

I suspect that the biggest difference would be running the Postgres DB on an SSD where the fast random access is going to make queries significantly faster (unless you have enough ram that Postgres can keep the entire DB in memory where it makes less of a difference).

Putting the actual image storage on SSD might improve latency slightly, but your hard drive is probably already faster than your internet connection so unless you've got lots of concurrent users or other things accessing the hard drive a bunch it'll probably be fast enough.

These are all Reckons without data to back it up, so maybe do some testing

Weirdest episode of binging with babish

Because half the country votes for a party that explicitly says this is a good way to run things, and the other half votes for a party that says it isn't great, but we shouldn't really do anything meaningful about it.

Until there is mass "you are all assholes and we demand a more representative electoral system" demonstrations, nothing will change.

Readers may note that this applies to basically every problem in the US right now
