  • In many places WhatsApp is the defacto standard unfortunately…

    If its not that its something like Viber, or badoo or telegram or some other nightmare service…

    If you have kids there is also not really getting away from it. Friends of mine have never had Facebook accounts until they had kids because the local football team or boyscout or whatever only uses Facebook to communicate…

    I agree you can live your life comfortably without meta services, but sometimes, like in the example above, you dont have any alternatives…

    You can’t keep harassing other parents to forward you messages or ask the team to print any messages specifically for you. Not having a Facebook account just gets “its easy to create” responses rather than “completely understandable, here’s our private matrix server to stay in the loop”.



  • Yeah it is kind of like the “trust, but verify” paradigm. It will likely generate useful code or a very good starting point, but you should always check if it actually does what you expect it to.

    You can’t trust them blindly. But They’re very helpful in your day to day tasks.







  • There’s also the option of setting up a cloudflare tunnel and only exposing immich over that tunnel. The HTTPS certificate is handled by cloudflare and you’d need to use the cloudflare DNS name servers as your domains name servers.

    Note that the means cloudflare will proxy to you and essentially become a man-in-the-middle. You – HTTPS --> cloudflare --http–> homelab-immich. The connection between you and cloudflare could be encrypted as well, but cloudflare remains the man-in-the-middle and can see all data that passes by.







  • I thought it was mandatory at release, but added a skip button when the login servers couldn’t handle the traffic at launch. They’re trying to re-enforce it now.

    Its just scummy because of the reasons listed above and people lost their refund window when it was optional. It’s mentioned on the steam page. But IMHO there’s a difference between needing a 3rd party account to play the game and linking it to steam which would give them access to more data than you’ll want to share.

    Edit: I’m not trying to defend Sony. **** em. Talk about killing your golden goose. I’m guessing they’re assuming it’ll blow over by the time a month passes. Ans people will just keep playing.

    I feel bad for AH though. You can tell they’re proud of the game. Sony is shafting their hard work with corporate greed. If anything i think it does more damage to their studio than it does to Sony ( in absolute numbers. This could’ve flopped and sony wouldn’t really notice ).



  • Lets get one thing straight.

    This is rarely ever the developer and more a business stakeholder forcing you to push the Friday deploy button.

    I’ve had somebody in the business escalating to my team lead, head of development and CIO because i flat out refused to deploy something on Friday at 16h.

    So no. This is not the developer making a hard choice. There should be somebody coercing or forcing him to push the deploy button.
