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 !

4·2 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 !
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 ! 🫶👍
I have a self-hosted Baikal server with self-signed CA on Android 14 and it works.
However, I didn’t had to add the certificate to Davx⁵ itself. Adding a rootCA into your device and your reverse proxy handling the request should work as expected over https.
Those kind of things are difficult to troubleshoot, this could be:
- Bad rootCA certificate, missing the necessary options ?
- Wrong certificate handled by your reverse proxy ?
- Radicale doesn’t recognize your certificate extension ?
- Wrong networking configuration ?
- Bug ?
- …
We need more infos about your setup:
- Do you use a reverse proxy ?
- Had you already any success with this certificate within an other application ?
- Any logs from your Android, Davx⁵?
Yeaaah I already played a bit arround with step-ca ! Right now a make a mini-CA with openssl.
When I get more comfortable with how everything works together I will surely give step-ca another try.
Can’t argue against that.
However, I prefer local domain names accessible via Wireguard with self-signed certs. I like to understand how everything works under the hood !
Also, I’m broke AF and buying a domain name (even cheap ones) are out of my budget :(.
Okay thank you :). We will see after a few years I guess?
It doesn’t look like an “emergency alarm” to switch over to another database. However, I was already thinking of switching every container to postgres. Maybe that’s the push needed.
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 !
https://jellyfin.homelab.domainis easier to access than IP addresses.
341·21 days agoWhile I’m not able to give it a try right now (just woke up, need to get ready for work…) I just wanna thank you for sharing your work and contributing to the community !!
It looks neat and simple :) !!!
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
Yep, Debian for sure ! 3 years ago I settled for debian on an old spare laptop, It’s still cruisen with more than 21 containers !! Sure I had a few fresh installs because skill issues, lack of proper configuration, user mistakes… But it’s probably the easiest to maintain and learn as a beginner !
No idea what’s your level and how close you’re with computers and how much time you have to spare, but don’t be afraid to make mistakes and try a few things out.
If you are like me just a plain old geek who knew his way arround computers and used Hamachi back in the days, thinking you were a HAKKER… Get ready to get your ass kicked !
While self-hosting and de-googling is fun, it also has alot of negative things:
- Time consuming
- Involves ALOT of Searxing/Reading
- Debuggin (kinda…)
- Learning the basics of at least 1 scripting language (consider bash your ally)
- It’s an infinite rabbit hole that will suck you in and sometimes get to your nerves…
One of the best advice I could give you along the way is, If you’re stuck on a bug or something isn’t working as expected in your setup and It seems you couldn’t find any answer or similar issues on the web, you absolutly have to take a break, not a 5min cigarette break… A few hours bicycle/sleep break !!!
The next day you will for sure find a solution !!
Good luck, have fun and don’t forget to take time for yourself and people arround you !
Yeahh that’s the best IMO ! But I get most of the time stuck with some
testOFtest001files/directory… cause I’m lazy…But I always ALWAYS regret it afterward… :/
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.
