I was only using the app for remapping a few buttons and scroll/DPI changes.

I replaced it with BetterMouse https://better-mouse.com/

When uninstalling the logitech app PearCleaner removed 4GB of content. Breath of fresh air.

So we should all write bad code to keep it predictable? raising the quality of the codebase is unacceptable under this premise.


Possibly. Probably even.

High quality and consistent > Low quality and consistent > Variable quality and inconsistent. If you're going to be the cause of the regression into variable quality and inconsistent you'd better deliver on bringing it back up to high quality and consistent. That's a lot of work that most people aren't cut out for because it's usually not a technical change but a cultural change that's needed. How did a codebase get into the state of being below standards? How are you going to prevent that from happening again? You are unlikely to Pull Request your way out of that situation.


"So we should all write bad code to keep it predictable?"

its true and false at the same time, it depends

here I can bring example: you have maintaining production system that has been run for years

there is flaw in some parts of codebase that is probably ignored either because

1. bad implementation/hacky way

2. the system outgrow the implementation

so you try to "fix" it but suddenly other internal tools stops working, customer contact the support because it change the behaviour on their end, some CI randomly fails etc

software isn't exist in a vacuum, complex interaction sometimes prevent "good" code to exist because that just reality

I don't like it either but this is just what it is


This would’ve been great 15y ago, but today they all want help on their phone and there’s no good way of doing that.


And get arrested to boot!

Ok Lol but they got arrested for stealing others people data not for making a wifi on the flight. That's different.


>That's different.

Is it though? It genuinely looks like you might get caught doing this, and I'm sure you are at least breaking airline policy, even if you're not charging money; not to mention if you charge.


I use an Obsidian MCP to essentially keep a database of plans, or versions sometimes that I can just fire off.


Why eat up the context with an MCP when a ./docs/plans folder does the same?


Flexibility and deeper Obsidian integration.

I keep hearing about it but unfortunately I myself only have one mac and nvidia GPUs and those can’t cluster together :/


Or, rather, you have more time to execute it. They _will_ rug pull again, this is Microsoft ffs.


It's the classic strategy of floating an extreme change, "listening to feedback", and then coming back later with the price they intended to charge all along.


That's the signal I'm getting here and they're not even being coy about it, they're just postponing some form of inevitable price increase.


Sounds like Chat Control.


Yeah looks like they missed the forest for the trees.

I see this kind of thing in our industry quite often; some Rube Goldberg machine being invented and kept on life support for years because of some reason like this, where someone clearly didn’t do the obvious thing and everyone now just assumes it’s the only solution and they’re married to it.

But I’m too grumpy, work me is leaking into weekend me. I had debates around crap like this all week and I now see it everywhere.


For me personally Immich is a non-starter because its not end-to-end encrypted.


It runs on your own hardware. There is nobody else who has access to unencrypted data.


Storage vps are cheap. Why would I have to run it in my own house?

:)


Why would you need it to be end to end encrypted anyway? You’re running it. Set it to only upload photos when you’re on your home network and you’re fine. Or fork it and make a PR and make it e2e encrypted.


You can’t just “fork it and make a PR and make it e2e encrypted”. All the features run serverside, e2ee is fundamentally impossible because of its design, of which you seem to know fuck all.

I’m being dismissed by I run a rather large homelab and I still want my photos iCloud like, where end devices decrypt and run ML. Immich is a Google Photos clone where you give it everything and some server does all the magic.


Hm, you can just run it on an encrypted volume. And put an ngnix in front of it to handle https. There you go end to end encrypted.


What are you talking about. It’s literally open source. Here’s the server code https://github.com/immich-app/immich/tree/main/server You run the server. You can make the entire thing e2e encrypted if you want.

You could even set it up so that it could only backup over tailscale or wireguard through a tunneled connection so ALL of your traffic is e2e.
