And you don't have your notification bar on the phone full of upload errors?

I get a bunch of upload errors for photos that I delete or move before nextcloud has a chance to upload them, those are safe to ignore. Not sure which errors you're getting...

Can you get to older photos in under an hour, while Nextcloud slowly loads one thumbnail per second?

Forget about the plain nextcloud photos app, use the Memories app (incl. the android app).

Not as good as immich, from what I understand, but if you already have nextcloud, or need more than just photos, it works well.

It is really unbeleviable how there are some people for whom Nextcloud just works, and the rest of us.

It's definitely not perfect, but since I was able to set it up to work well for me, I'm keeping it, at least until I have time to install immich and figure out how to sync the two (and maybe get a more powerful server to use its ML features). I'm currently running it off of a decade old chromebox ...

I have years worth of photos backed up from my phone (android) on Nextcloud, it's working pretty well... but it matters how you set up the auto upload and a few other things, and I'mnot claiming it's without issues.

For example, I set it to move files into Nextcloud's folder after uploading, so they appear as locally synced, and can be deleted to free up space if needed (maybe even automatically, not sure). Also, I set it to also upload existing files, because since they get moved, anything that's still there clearly needs to be uploaded.

There are a few issues viewing media from the app, sometimes, but I use the Memories app :)

I've been meaning to try immich, looks pretty good, but I use Nextcloud for much more than just photos, so I'd have to keep both and have them sync somehow, and I'm not sure how to do that.

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to transmit bits "instantly" i.e. faster than light under the current quantum theory or relativity theory, you can't transmit information faster than the speed of light. If somebody found a way to do that, we'd be rewriting the laws of physics, and that would be a big deal for sure.

The second one, of course:

the new research proposes that the breakthrough could make these communications super secure and nearly instantaneous – limited only by the speed of light.

(enphasis mine)

So, yeah, we didn't break any laws of physics.

Yes. I don't like being forced to be happy even if I'm not.

There is a difference between computer programmer and software engineers.

Ah, by the way, Edsger W Dijkstra referred to himself as a programmer. Good times.

after doctors made sure he wasn't in a life-threatening condition, he was moved to the waiting room, where he sat for six hours before deciding to pack up and go home.

I don't know why they're trying to spin it as a difference from the US system.

I had the same exact experience in the US. multiple times. You go to the ER, for whatever reason, they look at you and, unless you're literally bleeding to death you're gonna be told to wait many many hours.

So, I guess Canada is the same on this, but at least they won't send you a huge bill to pay.

Please stop posting this unless we have proof that he wrote it himself, a picture of it, or at the very least some kind of new information that the previous 10 posts on the subject didn't have.

All these articles eventually trace back to the same one guy that claims to "have the manifesto" source "trust me bro"

They are considering it making it open source, among other options to keep the robots alive

Why not just open-source Moxie?” We hear you. We are not dismissing the idea, but this would be a complex undertaking, tied up in legal, technical, and contractual knots. With limited resources, transitioning to open-source is no simple step. However, given your passionate input, we are exploring every avenue—from potential acquisitions and philanthropic support to community-driven models—that could allow Moxie’s mission to live on.

This is sad. I know personally many people that worked there and they're some of the best engineers. Never cared for an AI robot for kids myself, but it seemed to work well...

The group was private and they created fake profiles ... did I miss something?
