Restore immich photo backup?

I have been backing up the photos folder for my immich. Something weird happened with one of my hard drives so i had to restore. It has a folder for each year and inside there is a folder for each day. immich doesnt support the ability to drag and drop the year folder into the UI. What's the best way to get all my media back...

thx for sharing your experience with it

swooosh OP ,

I should not need to run a container in privileged mode. What's the container good for then?

Yes, there is no error, yet I was not able to transcode. I had rranscode to x265 and av1 enabled. Ever since disabling av1 it works, yet I have to check again. Meaning, probably the problem was that it tried to encode to av1 and that failed. Yet I still need to run it in privileged mode.

It's crazy that reddit doesn't have to ask everyone if they want to contribute. This shows who owns and controls your posts.

Like facebooks threads?

Everyone can use it. With reddit's posts, only reddit can do it.

What file format do you store your media in?

Hello! I recently listened to a podcast that talked about how storing media files in .av1 format is very efficient and storage-friendly. I've been storing my files in .mkv format, but now I'm considering using Handbrake or a similar service to convert all my video files to .av1 if it's more compressed than .mkv. So;...

swooosh ,

The future is av1. Is it worth it to compress everything asap? No. Not all devices can play av1. You will still shoot pictures and videos in 264 or 265. Can you already edit av1? Do you do that? Check that everything you own and do can work with av1. You should prefer 265 over 264 nowadays.

Is it worth it for your own videos? It depends. If you have a lot, like terrabytes lot, of your own videos. Then yes, you could save storage. But, the time it'll take to reencode and the power consumption it needs isn't worth it. Just use av1 from nowon whereever possible if you export videos instead of 265 if all your devices and clients and friends who you're sending them to can play it. I converted all old media to 265 two years ago (or so) to have everything compatible. I do not plan on converting to av1 just for storage reasons. Storage is cheap compared to the time I invest in caring about it. Converting for compatibility yes, storage no. I switched to immich and I have no files on my phone or laptop anymore.

Torrents? No it's definetly not worth it to reencode. The guys who release the files are aware of av1 and they will switch as soon as almost all devices support av1 and people scream for it. It is not worth it to reencode imo. Just redownload once it's available. You can push av1 adoption by releasing videos in av1 yourself. Ask for it. Talk about it. Spread the word.

Same holds for avif and jxl. They are very storage efficient but jpg is still the best choice for compatibility reasons. You can use jxl to annoy chrome users because they can't view it and probably apple users as well but apart from that fun there's no reason to convert your whole library to it. Your devices, clients and editors have to support it. And we are still not there yet. Best is to spread the word that it'll be the future but the future is not yet today. Best for their adoption is to stay away from vendors who try to push their own standard like apple.

Export in avif/jxl if you know you can play it everywhere but don't convert a whole library to it unless you know you want have problems with it in the future. Jpg with 70% quality isn't that bad.

Coming to terms with no longer having privacy and control over my technology

I miss the days of VHS and DVD shelfs in homes, for example. If you bought the tapes and had them in your home, no corporate entity could alter those tapes without your consent, monitor how many times you watch them, sell your data to whomever they please without your knowledge, roll out new mandatory conditions to a 'user...

A new linux user will be born soon

swooosh OP ,

Yes

swooosh OP ,

Yes

swooosh OP ,

Android and android tv. Both devices don't work.

Yes, a browser on thr android device works. Other services resolve correctly with the same domain.

swooosh OP ,

Android and android tv. Both have problems within the app.

Yes, domain gets resolved correctly by browser

swooosh OP ,

No, I've got a reverse proxy (nginx proxy manager) with no custom authentication.

It even used to work in the apps.

What are the most private social media platforms?

I've been feeling uneasy about the privacy implications of using Lemmy and similar platforms. The ability for anyone to view your entire posting history feels to me like publicly sharing my browser history. In contrast, most other social media platforms allow you to limit your feed visibility to just friends or followers....

Rubbish

swooosh ,

Forget it please

swooosh ,

My original post was rubbish which is why i deleted it. In hindsight this reads as if I was calling out the upper level comment. I'm sorry.

    You can use element matrix service ems directly. No need for beeper

    I don't think duolingo is good. But no, best I know is to make your own with anki

    You can verify builds on android. That's just an iphone problem.

    Use Grapheneos if you need good security and privacy

    swooosh OP ,

    I've been running that since many months like that. Why did that break now ...

    It works in the same file. I don't want to have 10 containers in the same compose file.

    I checked, it works in the same file, thx.

    Removing "depends: gluetun" does not work either

    swooosh OP ,

    Immich has multiple services running. Having that within one file is good in my opinion. Or nextcloud with an external database.

    swooosh OP ,

    It has worked for months. Thank you. I'll se what I can do.

    swooosh OP ,

    I can't get my nvidia to work with it :(

    Thx. 130€? That's surprisingly cheap.

    I try to solve the problem that the cpu isn't powerful enough wheras my gpu isn't supported and I need a new one and I want to have a seemless experience.

    swooosh OP ,

    Without transcoding that works but if there's something off with the video file it stutters

    swooosh OP ,

    No idea :) it works on my phone...

    How do I need to configure jellyfin in order to work properly?

    I added

    device:
  - /dev/dri

    And I tried /dev/dri/renderD128 but both don't work. Moreover, I enabled encoding in HEVC format, hardware encoding and selected hardware accelleration with intel quicksync (QSV) and enabled hardware decoding for H264, HEVC, ...

    But if that's enabled, transcoding doesn't work at all on the player.

    I guess I fail at. any advice?

    podman exec -it jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/vainfo
Trying display: drm
error: failed to initialize display

    I managed to enable it by giving itnprivileged access.

    HDMI stream live processing?

    I’m getting tired of the extremely loud ads on that don’t seem to be subject to the old TV broadcasting laws that prevent them from being blasted 10db louder than the actual content. Wondering if there’s stuff out there that would let me take the hdmi stream from my Apple TV or other streaming source, and do ad detection...

    swooosh ,

    I've got an android TV with jellyfin. That's the best against your problem.

    Choose whatever sounds good and test it
