I don’t remember much about plex photos, but facial (and object) recognition, photo map, easy sharing through albums (without the other person needing an account), and being open source are some features I imagine plex photos does not have.

it seems barebones still, because it is a very young app, and the UI is not great, especially on mobile.

It is the best replacement for Google photos that I have seen though.

+1 to immich

However, because of the fast dev cycle, it has a lot of breaking changes, and needs regular maintenance (most notably for me, postgres docker changes. Especially if you are not giving it it’s own postgres instance and using their provided docker compose.)

You could stay pegged to a single version, but the mobile app also doesn’t have full backwards compatibility with server versions, which results in a slew of other problems (how do I do a fresh install of an older app version on a new device?)

But if you are willing to keep up and perform semi-regular maintenance, immich is great, and the rapid dev cycle means more new features faster!

straight to jail

Tbf Apple users are the same type of users who would pay a Netflix subscription fee for games, so the strategy checks out.

netlify is amazing for static sites.

for some reason my first playthrough barely had any bugs outside of visual glitches, then after doing ng+ 10 times and starting my 2nd proper playthrough in ng+10, my outposts were broken, ship kept taking off with only the interior, crashes every time I play, I have 2 pet rocks that now float around my ship forever, my gun doesn’t come back up after I stop sprinting, and phase time occasionally breaks, lasts forever, and only lets me shoot once.

Don’t know what changed, but it seems the game slowly gets more buggy the more you play it, and some bugs bug out your save and any later saves, instead of just the session.

enjoy the bugless experience while it lasts.

Also, doing the temples 240 times was not fun lol…

wow you must have some expensive big macs

only 22€? I’m checking in at $134.99 CAD. for reference, Baldur’s Gate 3 costs $89.99.

The inflation is inflating

I live in Canada.

like ICBMs and freeze dried ice cream sandwiches!

would really spark some anger after people get stranded with disabled cars while camping for prolonged periods of time, or just parking underground while flying abroad.

bigger number go on bigger side of triangle. smaller number go on smaller side of triangle!

Hunting and killing methods have been improved to ensure as little harm to the whales as possible.

Apart from the … hunting and the killing.

You can definitely run pihole and Plex on the same machine!

I would go for a used PC over a refurb server. servers eat up a lot of electricity and will increase your electric bills quite a bit.

go for something with an Intel CPU, maybe a 10th gen i3, or even older if you want cheaper. Intel’s quicksync will let you do hardware transcoding without a GPU. you really don’t need a very powerful cpu otherwise, both Plex and pihole aren’t very heavy on the cpu.

Plex is a media server. You can think of it like an instance of Netflix that you host yourself, with all your own media.

What can it do?

It lets you keep your media on one computer, and access it from anywhere on any device.

Plex Media Server (PMS), or sometimes just referred to as Plex, Is the server itself. It tracks all your media, metadata, etc, and handles servery stuff like transcoding, and actually serving the media.

Just like any other streaming service, to connect to the server and actually play the media, you need a client. There are many different Plex clients including but not limited to:

• The webclient on the plex.tv website
• Windows / MacOS
• Android / iOS Plex apps
• Plex for HTPC
• Android TV apps
• Plexamp (solely for music) So the difference between PMS and Plex is that one is the server, and one is the client you need to access the server.

Can I access it on Chromecast?

Yes! you can cast from your phone to a Chromecast in the Plex app. If you’ve got an android TV, you can also install the native Plex app, and browse Plex like any other streaming service.

why do I even need it?

Probably because you (will) have a lot of media sitting around, and need a way to access the media without being physically in front of the computer it is stored on. Maybe you want to share your media collection with other people.

What else do I need to make it useful?

Plex works pretty well on its own! You just need to provide your own media, and point Plex at where your media is. This can be through ripping Blurays, or … less than legal means. If you plan on going the legally murky route, there are many other applications like Sonarr and Radarr that will automatically find and download media, but that’s too advanced for now.

LMK if you have any other questions, I’d be glad to give more answers.
