Does it really make that of a difference? Sure I use SSD’s for a long time now but haven’t seen that much of a speed improvement over HDD’s in games. Even with a m.2, haven’t seen any improvement.
However data transfer speed is another story !

4·3 days agoThank you :)) ! I have the same question as @umbrella if your have any other insights to share !
how is varlink better than dbus to justify that change?
Someone a short ELI ? I read the article and the comments… But I have no idea what this is about.
Maybe someone has an article that explains for someone not being educated as computer scientist ?
Nobody ever talking about lychee ?
Yes okay it’s not GPL or written in a fancy new language (PHP is still alive xD). But it’s simple, elegant, no UX bloat, no ML or IA stuff… Just a plain simple self-hosted photo manager.
One thing I really liked about it, you can import you external photo’s with .xmp files, just one checkbox away.
The tag feature is simple but working as expected. Nothing fancy but it does best what’s it’s supposed to do !!
Call me old boomer but I really like the simplicity of lychee. It’s a bit like how reading an article from miniflux or wallabag… Simple html files without bloating your eyes or your brain…
Just my 2c, nothing to see here !
17·2 days agoFor those interested, John Hammond did a video a few months ago about
.lnkextension (and other 16 hidden extensions on Windows).He doesn’t go to much or to deep into the subject, but you get a general view how this could be exploitable.
To expand on my previous comment I dug a bit deeper the rabbit hole with exiftool to showcase how powerful
meta tagsare overconventional tags. I was curious how It would work and find an “universal” embedded tag system that works nearly on any software.First thing first,from my personal research there are 4 important types of metadata fields:
- IPTC:keywords
- XMP:subject
- EXIF:XPkeywords (mostly for Windows)
- MacOS:MDItemUserTags (macos tagging system)
It’s also possible to copy one over to the other. The most important ones are
IPTCandXMPwhich are read by most image manager.XPkeywordsandMDItemUserTagsare OS specific to windows and macos respectively.After some reading and fiddling around I used the following commands:
exiftool -IPTC:Keywords="Phil's Exif" Wallpapers/image_proxy3.jpg exiftool -XMP:Subject+=one Wallpapers/image_proxy3.jpg exiftool -XMP:Subject+=two Wallpapers/image_proxy3.jpg exiftool -EXIF:XPKeywords="tagtest" Wallpapers/image_proxy3.jpg exiftool -MacOS:MDItemUserTags+=tagging Wallpapers/image_proxy3.jpgI spun up a lychee docker container to test if my tags are automatically recognized:
What does that mean ? Does are embedded meta tags that works with every software capable of reading the IPTC or XMP metadata. Those tags will follow your pictures rather than being bound to a specific software database. So your tags are portable and embedded into you files which is in my opinion a better long term solution.
There’s probably way more to it and something that could be further explored is to export your metadata as
.xmpfile, add those tags into the OS (XPKeywords, MDItemUserTags), bash script to manipulates even further…Hope it helps to give you a sneak peak on what exiftool is capable. I’m a noob with this tool but it already shines and shows it’s power and capabilities with some basic commands.
Here are some resources if you want to give it a try and follow my trails:

An other solution could be exiftool by Phil Harvey. Don’t judge by how the website looks… It’s probably the best and most complete tool to edit the metadata directly into your images (and way to much other formats xD).
Even though it’s very well documented, exiftool is very complex and there’s a lot to read and grasp before getting comfortable with it. There’s always the forum if you have any question, but before asking the forum go through the FAQ (yes I know it’s huge… But as starting point look at number 11) and search a similar question in the forum.
Here I found a topic that looks like what you’re a looking for:
wow ! Not OP, but thank you for such a dedicated answer ! 🫶👍
F.E.A.R (the first one only) was absolutely scary and psychologically nerve wrecking…
The multiplayer was amazing though, the nail gun was something else !
Hummm… Can someone tell me if this is good news or bad news?
Generally a buy-out is mostly bad news, but I can’t tell here in this specific case.
Except for the learning process and if you want your self-signed local domains in your lan !

13·20 days agoThanks :) I don’t hate on consoles, they are cool stuff, however I get angry on all those stupid marketing terms just to sell you 20 more fps or some new fancy AI upscaling to fake some 4k quality on 90% of games.
Be it Microsoft, Sony or whatever… Just plain stupid marketing liars…
Don’t call it next-gen. Thats just marketing bullshit for enhanced previous generation.
There wasn’t any real improvement since ps1 release. It’s only getting slightly better in graphics, fps, color management, AI upscaling. That’s all, nothing more.
We are slowly hitting a roadblock of graphical evolution… The “real” next-gen would be something that will leave you jaw dropping, like it did with the first ps1 release. That was a next-generation release.
Right now they are just trying their best to sell some little improvement here and there calling it next-gen console… Humpf !
IMO The Fedi Origami looks waaay better than the 3 cat but holes. Even the first iteration looks somehow better, even though less “professional”?
Edit: Thank you, found it on your shared link ! 😄
Oh wow thank you ! Would it be to much to ask for a dark mode version? If there’s a one hit button to change into a more eye friendly color mode :)
Either way, thank your for sharing your work :))
Also, on your SMB server you need to add a specific configuration to play nice with OS X…

So yeah that’s on OP not reading through the documentation.
@reminder 20 years
Now that I know a bit more about security and obfuscation I rather not use any pirated games/software anymore. If they know how to crack/reverse engineer some complicated stuff, you can be sure they add some shady stuff in it.
- silent cryptominer
- info stealer
- hidden DNS ads requests
- trojan

They need somehow a way to earn there living expanses ? It’s a service we think it’s free but nothing comes without a counterpart.
1·27 days agoNaaah I was talking about zlibrary (free ebooks and research paper library) getting targeted by the governement because free knowldge is illegal !
Yeah maybe I got so used to SSD’s that I can’t remember the leap between SSD’s and HDD’s.
An as you said the difference between M.2 isn’t that much of a difference in game. There probably lies my bias.
