  • As someone who has and still used photoprism for over two years and donated heavily…steer clear. Their update cycle is slow and the things they keep adding don’t seem helpful. Still no multi-user support. If you don’t upload new photos via photoprism using WebDAV you have to make your own scripts to watch for changes and refresh which took a lot of time for me to setup.

    I’m just going to start using Nextcloud and Memories app going forward.

    I understand that everyone doesn’t always have a perfect experience but I’ve been using the same instance of nextcloud for over 8 years I just keep upgrading and migrating. It just works. Only issues I’ve had is when Debian withholds updating php for too long or when they finally do all the config files for php get fucked and I have to redo them all.


  • Burning natural gas isn’t so awful but getting it out of the ground and to the place where is needs to be burned is always overlooked. It’s a gas, it wants to escape and much of the infrastructure leaks and so a great deal is lost before its used. I walk around Boston and no joke you just SMELL it all the time because the infrastructure is so old. Natural gas is also mostly methane which when leaked is 80 times more potent than CO2. Furthermore much natural gas needs to be transported on ships to be uses. To summarize there is no ‘greener’ fossil fuels it’s all to be avoided if possible.
