Not parent, but I run Immich and I really love it. Very integrated with mobile, works great on desktop. Docker on Linux, works great on a small N100 NUC.
Do you have a bulk food store nearby? We have one where you can BYO containers, tare and label them, and then fill them up at the store. Bulk food with no bags or single-use containers, it's great.
Back in the day I was running GLTron on an Athlon 1800+ w/Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 (I think?) and I was running dual monitors. GLTron didn't like using both screens since it presented as a peculiar resolution. So I emailed the GLTron dude and he quickly emailed me a patch that let me run the game across both monitors (bezels not an issue because I was doing multiplayer split screen).
Where I am there's a smallish internet provider, Sonic, that advertises almost-too-good-to-be-true service. As a former subscriber...nope, it's pretty much what they say it is. It was gigabit fiber and I could iperf to a university server and get 900Mbps+ (depending on time of day). Fast.com would say 1Gbps.
My only complaint was that iirc the advertised price was for service, with an extra charge for router. BYO router meant you were charged slightly more for service (this is my recollection, not positive though).
They are a pretty vocal net neutrality advocate, and from what the tech told me they offer "best effort" service, meaning while ATT fiber may support gigabit, they'll throttle it and upcharge you for the extra speed; Sonic, afaik, didn't do that. They now offer 10Gbps Internet for I think the same price as the gigabit, but I think you need to BYO network gear to take advantage of it.
Unfortunately our new place doesn't offer them, otherwise I would still be a subscriber.
Point being...too good to be true usually is just that, but sometimes it's not 🤷
I think the gist is, both are capable of surrounding themselves with people who share their agenda --- would you be comfortable with Biden's cabinet effectively running the white house? Trump's?
I want to love Julia so much, but it's always something. The funky handling of scope in the REPL was the latest off-putting thing for me, but maybe I should give it a try again...
The fact that people perceive the billionaires to be the problem --- and not the society, and in particular the government which allowed that to happen in the first place --- is, in my view, not a good starting point to effect change.
I love my orange pi (5+, 16GB, 256GB eMMC, 2TB NVME). New, with case and eMMC (excluding NVME) was about $200.
Smart switch says it idles at about 2.9W, transcoding 1080p with Jellyfin draws about 5W (at several hundred FPS with HW transcoding --- so it presumably won't draw that much for the entire duration of the media). Not sure how reliable smart switch is at those powers but I'm guessing it's ballpark accurate.
Works flawlessly for Immich of course.
The duel 2.5G NICs are underutilized by me but kinda fun to have I guess.
For me, idle power is important, so the ARM SBC route is pretty appealing. A new x64 NUC at same price might offer comparable performance I suppose, and something used could be beefier at the expense of more power usage. But to each their own!
Ride, LYH26K! Show us the meaning of haste!
Try typing my username in Dvorak :)
The time travelling aspect is nice, too...
Is tampering with property+trespassing more of a legal no-no than just trespassing?
Not sure c/vegan would agree...
Correlation doesn't imply causation, but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and gesture furtively while mouthing 'look over there'.

It's a start! We pay north of $40k/year/kid for daycare/preschool. And only $5k in 2025 ($7500 2026) is pretax, regardless of how many kids.
Related, I think we really need to adopt a universal solution to benefits cliffs. Smooth/continuous functions aren't rocket science...

Not sure how that compares to the response from other companies though. But I would guess favorably, from a user privacy perspective?
They also have faced pressure to scan iCloud content, but have afaik refused https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/12/victory-apple-commits-encrypting-icloud-and-drops-phone-scanning-plans

Is this useful?

Not affiliated and haven't used it, but its tagline of "Desktop Independent Power Manager" seems like it fits the bill.

Not sure I parsed it correctly though...
Behind in specs? Depends on which specs I guess --- but CPU/GPU performance is AFAIK pretty great? https://www.tomsguide.com/features/iphone-15-pro-benchmarks
Features, yeah, depends on what you're looking for. AFAIK iPhones are the only mainstream phone to offer satellite texting though.
I have both an iPhone (work) and an android (personal), and they both...kinda just work 🤷
