You're correct, but consider these kind of solutions to be more of a hobbyist-inclined. Be prepared to continue investing into maintenance occasionally (and somewhat erratically, because Immich does bring in breaking changes).

Another thing to keep in mind is that - the server you get for $250 would also allow you to deploy many other apps (I have a similar spec, and deploy ~20 apps). So, net-net if the setup brings you happiness and ROI (in any form at all), it is worth investing!

Self-hosting anything isn't sustainable. Even your modem or router isn't sustainable. But having additional backups and privacy is worth something for me. However since I'm in Europe, electricity prices here are through the roof and I try to minimize power where possible. I self host Immich on my Intel Celeron J1800 NAS that uses 19.1Wh on average. I cannot run any ML stuff that it comes with though. But for me the carbon intensity should be about 250 gCO₂eq/kWh [1]. So running my NAS produces about 42 Kg of CO₂ per year for 2 users [2]. Including 10 or so additional applications besides Immich. That sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Redact – Delete Your Digital Footprint
It's a lot easier to keep your customers' older devices up to date when you control the entire hardware and software stack on them.

Google really has very little say if some random low-end manufacturer doesn't feel like updating their customers. Sure, they can try to require that they provide updates for a certain amount of time in order to get and keep their Android certification, but at some point they'll just give up and ditch Android entirely.

And on top of that, Qualcomm just won't provide updated kernels and blobs for their older chipsets after a while. Google has managed to negotiate them up from their pathetic 18 months that it used to be, but Qualcomm still doen't have to play ball any further if they don't want to. And Google's making their own chipsets now, so they care a little bit less about that problem.

Not saying it's great, but that's just how it is. Android's model basically means it's just going to be that way. Apple's means they get more control over such things.
Turning a service on/off makes a lot of sense for this kind of application.

I sincerely didn't post my comment to shame anymore.

Need for computing is growing fast and it is actually not negligible at all. See the link below, data centers emitted 300 MTCo2 in 2020, similar to the number you mentioned.

Heard a great take on this. That the whole purpose of the app is not really to complete with Twitter but to build a training set for AI - meta would “own” the data and so avoid lawsuits and needing to pay for access to others data.
If that read is true, can’t see this ever launching in the EU.
Looks more like science here. Run a bunch of experiments and see which does better.

> I can't figure out why RHEL compat is so desirable

RHEL compat per se is irrelevant, it's the 10 years guaranteed maintenance enterprise customers are after, plus a path forward for their third-party software investments only certified on RHEL (because of said guarantees) and internal IT deployment/admin line processes. Despite making the rounds on HN, enterprise and other commercial users give a flying fuck to io_uring, systemd (up until RHEL 7 when they were forced to), namespaces, and other Linux "innovations" which in fact are just annoyances to justify contracts for 30+ years of ongoing maintenance of an age-old POSIX core operating system once developed in a couple of months and praised for its minimalism.
More advanced in terms of supported features and hardware.

Taking one off the top of my head that was relevant around the time Android was being developed, dynamic ticks which is important for low power operation. Linux supported this in 2007 about 5 years before FreeBSD and I think NetBSD still doesn't support it. Could not field a phone OS without that, at least not back in those days.
We would probably also lough at the image resolution that was common back then.

I just watched a video of Picasa to jog my memory. It seems similar snappy as ON1 with 24 megapixel raw images on my 2015 PC.

>Their take was that spatial audio is just "stereo" rebranded

No it was not, please try to read what is actually written because what you have reported is obviously and clearly wrong.

You, me, Brian Eno _can_, regardless of my "take", record 3D audio onto 2 tracks and play it back and hear it with headphones. This has been possible for decades. I've learned today, in this very thread that what I did in the 1980s is called "binaural"

You can also record and mix stereo without caring about this possibility and most do.

Your choice, and especially Brian Eno's choice to make a 3D audio album or not is entirely and wholly orthogonal to the existence of "Atmos." In so far as Atmos describes speaker related tech, 3D using speakers will be inferior to using headphones, other things equal.
“The industry has strong long-term growth prospects but is facing short-term setbacks,” the spokesperson said. Figures for the first quarter showed a considerable drop in turnover for ASML. Customers ordered 3.8 billion euros worth of chip machines from the company in the first quarter, compared to amounts between 6 ad 8 billion euros in previous quarters"

Not a single word mentioned on US export restriction policy on China, which had previously constituted a huge market for ASML. Same story with TSMC, also now prevented to selling to its main market, and also now suffering on the bottom line. It's a permanent loss of this market - can't expect any Chinese buyers to do anything other to source domestically going forward.

>> The training cost of GPT-4 is now only 1/3 of what it was about a year ago. It is absolutely staggering how quickly the price of training an LLM is dropping, which is great news for open source. The google memo was right about the lack of a moat.

That really doesn't change anything at all. The more training large models gets cheaper, the more large corporations are able to train larger models than everyone else.

Suppose the gross price of rice was $0.001 a kg. That's dirt cheap! Yet, if I had a million dollars and you had a thousand dollars, I could still buy a thousand times more rice than you.

> Incidentally this is public facing Internet servers. The % -inside- enterprises us much much higher.

I can believe private enterprise usage is higher, but I imagine FAANG and similar companies also have quite a lot non public Linux servers. Not trying to rebut your overall point, but I'm not sure the total non public % is much different.
The issue is trying to look for technical solutions to what is fundamentally a social problem. That problem is trust.

Over the previous few decades, the web has slid from a place that felt like a small village to a bustling metropolis. In a large city, trust is maintained first via politeness norms suited to anonymised societies (like civil inattention) — we trust that others will leave us alone — and second (and perhaps more prominently) by explicit institutions (emergency services, businesses, media).

Similarly, trust in information on the Internet has been mediated by implicit rules (consider how many people will add "Reddit" at the end of their Google search) and explicit institutions (such as search engines and social media platforms).

Though I agree with a lot of the article's conclusions, I feel that it falls into the same trap that a lot of tech commentators do. Ultimately, though I'm certainly worried (like most of us) about the ramifications of AI, including as the article mentions how we'll navigate a noise-saturated information environment, I think we will find a way. No technology will alter the fact that humans will always seek out trust*.
How to Become a Better Speaker at Conferences
> How will they confirm that they're fork is compatible?

The only thing they need to ensure right now is that their stable release remains compatible to existing RHEL. Everything needed for that is around.

Going forward, maybe "RHEL v+1 compatible" doesn't even matter anymore (to quote that press release: "CIQ is thrilled to collaborate with SUSE on advancing an open enterprise Linux standard.") RHEL became the defacto "Enterprise Linux" because everybody willingly handed them the control over the direction Enterprise Linux takes (including, but not limited to, by merely repackaging their work).

As long as that new community system (Rocky intends to work with SUSE according to that article) remains RHEL9.2 compatible, they might be able to force IBM to adopt the community's idea of an Enterprise Linux for future RHEL releases. Keeping some "RHEL9.2 mode" around indefinitely (next to a further developed platform for contemporary workloads) is relatively simple with containers and the like.

IBM might have just killed the one thing that kept RedHat dominant in that space: the goodwill of nearly everybody else to let RedHat lead and not rock the boat too much themselves.
Now that you mention it, I remember doing this now. Mine was not for SDR, but data acquisition all the same. I had the PPS and 10MHz signals go into an fpga, while the GNSS UART went to the CPU. The FPGA could be programmed with the current time which was then kept up to date internally. As data was acquired the timestamp was married to each sample and passed around one to one.

Now, sure, I could probably take a malevolent moustache twirling villain monologue and use chatGPT to turn it into a bland and prosaic statement like that, or even something utterly milquetoast, but if I try to imagine Altman playing 5D chess with the aid of his own AGI, there's the much easier solution of… just not telling anyone you have GPT-4 in the first place while using its power to manipulate etc.

> Software-locked products are just be broken up and/or sold for parts

Yeah, but the value is a fraction of a working machine. Base M1 Macbook Airs are selling for 800€, I doubt you'd get half of that for the parts in an activation locked Macbook. And it would take 10 times as long to sell it, because the market for parts is tiny compared to the market for working Macs.

If there was a big market for used parts, then the M1 MacBooks would not be getting scrapped as the video implies.
When profit becomes the main motivator, quality of services always seem to drop.

I get that the government can be annoying, but I feel like there are many services that we should aim to provide as a society where profit isn’t the goal. For example, you don’t need to price gouge people for electricity, but charging enough to cover expenses and future infrastructure upgrades is fine and to be expected. No costly CEO or shareholder overhead thrown in there.

Everyone knows it happens, meanwhile every single company with high turnover is like this (those I've had personal encounters with):

Datadog: our domain has changed, but I cannot change my login. I've changed the email address in my profile, but I'm not sure if my login (which is an email address) is just a name or it may be used as an email address in some context.

Intuit: good luck changing your name

Apple Developer: still addresses the account as Bob No-Longer-Working-Here. It's not very clear how to change that name.

Apple ID: no, you cannot change the email address that had been primary back when you created it. And it better be a valid email address.

Orange: my address has changed twice, they are aware of that, they swore they updated my address everywhere; the invoices are coming with my old old address in their headers despite everything. Good thing they are sending them electronically at least so at least I receive them.

You likely can change the data there if you really need to, but it's very involved.

Someone should tell the IT/CRM drones that sometimes people not only leave the company, but also get incapacitated or die. In their Teletubby universes it doesn't seem to happen to anyone ever.

>> This is a smart, motivated audio engineer talking about Atmos. Quick summary: it's awful when it works perfectly, and it almost never works perfectly, in fact, it rarely works at all. Good luck trying to get Atmos working, and even if this was a completely open standard, would you really bother?

I hope he had more to say than that, because that’s nonsense. Getting it “working” is as simple as playing it on Apple Music via my AirPods or Sonos. There are definitely bad mixes available, but there are some incredible ones too. Listening to “Let It Be” on the Sonos is magical.

I’ve also done some mixing in Atmos and it’s pretty straightforward.

At the end of the day it’s largely subjective, but I’m pretty certain it’s the future - especially now Sonos has stated releasing single devices that can play Atmos to a pretty good standard, and most new major label releases are mixed in Atmos.
Makes me wonder who they are, the nameless heroes who run into all those bugs so we don't have to.
