Immich 3.0 20 days ago

My wife only printed the 6 photo albums because I gathered all our photos from three different Google Photos accounts, a hard drive, and two laptops.

And yes, we only look at physical photos or the "on this day X years ago" reels. But to get here, Immich was a valuable tool.

There is precedent of Google making changes in light of "security" that break ad blocking Chrome extensions. See chome extension manifest 3.

So this concern cannot be dismissed with just "slippery slope falacy", it's a new vector of the same power grab strategy.

Ok, what about having tools be discoverable from the environment, similar to how $PATH works in POSIX?

There could be an env var $AGENT_TOOLS, a string of paths delimited by `:` and tools would be discovered as some specific format of file. Maybe a JSON that contains tool name, list of parameters and the command to run it.

This is essentially decoupling tools from the agent, allowing more customization and per-project environments. It does require shipping and installing more binaries, one for each tool probably.

I like arrow for its type system. It's efficient, complete and does not have "infinite precision decimals". Considering Postgres's decimal encoding, using i256 as the backing type is so much saner approach.

Tauri 5 months ago

I wanted to try tauri out, but i couldn't get the nix dev shell for it working. My suspicion was that they do something too magical with the build process.

uLauncher 5 months ago

My launcher of last 8years: Lawndesk. It's not on play store and you have to download it from github, but it is the only no-nonsens launcher on android without a drawer.

I just want a grid of apps, each of which appears exactly once. And then folders, to keep things on known locations
