3·5 hours agoMy only warning for a new user to Immich is that it does not support chunk uploading. So if you’re like me and took a 1 hour 40GB 4k video, it will never upload. It will start, fail, and start over again forever.
My first linux distribution was Linux From Scratch (LFS). I printed like 300 pages at the school library so I could run it at home. My first real distribution was Gentoo or Damn Small Linux.
22·1 day agoI can’t get behind a browser built from scratch with C, not Rust, considering how integral browsers are to security these days. Plus there’s the whole controversy around their pronouns and politics in coding stances.
Check this out then. It’s a fully open source repairable ipod-ish media player.
The factory must grow!

Agreed. While not the ideal pope, he was much better than Benedict the 16th.

I loved Galaxy Quest.

The manga this is from, Useless Ponko, is such a cozy read.
Thanks for the suggestions! I am slowly setting aside money to try to travel there someday and planning at least helps it feel closer.
It’s not that C is bad, but that it’s a bad language in this use case. Rust doesn’t let developers shoot themselves in the foot as easily as C, not to say that it can’t be done.
The comment regarding developers being responsible is true, but they could make their job much easier and thus more accessible to others by using Rust and not being required to learn all the tricks to make C safer in such a critical piece of software.
This isn’t a paid product/gig, so it’s not necessarily attracting top C developers either.
C is great for specific user cases such as code that needs to be exceedingly performant, needs to access low-level devices, or is used on embedded applications.
On a project that doesn’t have these requirements, I believe it is more important to be understandable and has a lower skill floor.
