It had to happen someday. I hope we can weather this and come back stronger in a few years.

But good news! All that wealth we're creating will trickle down to us any day now.

First year Gen X-er here. We know why you're depressed. We went through similar things, believe it not. I often wish I could share how scary living through the 80s was -- often fearing a nuclear apocalypse, environmental decline, wars, riots and unrest all over the world, politicians who didn't give a damn or had no idea how to make things better. Nobody listens to you when you're in your 20s. It seems most now think the 80s were just like Family Ties. Not so.
But this too shall pass. You can help make it better by getting out there and working with the good guys. Don't give up.
I do. Don't care. But thanks for pointing that out.
I hear you, I do. It's just that I've supported local bands my whole life, at mostly small bars and clubs. This is a relatively new local band I really want to see before they take off on a world-wide tour and now AXS is making it hard. First world problems, I know. I just don't want to take out my anger on the band, eh. They don't control any of this.
I know this is happening because of a combo of my browser (librewolf) and my extensions (uBlock and Privacy Badger), but really it's because most larger concert halls in the USA and the ticket service they use online are owned by the most evil fucking corporation and I am fucking sick of it. I was going to buy tix for a local punk band's show but now my choices are:
- I have to drive 30 minutes to buy tix in person, Monday-Friday
- or sell my soul to these assholes
Just venting, no suggestions needed.
Hmmmm
Woof. Sounds heavenly...
Very cool. When I visited Scotland, I wished I could get out into the remote areas and visit a distillery directly, but no time on that trip. This was the best I could do and yep, worth it.
Yeah!
I asked here about that and was told there's not enough of us here. Meh.
I would but this is totally just for me and it runs in nginx / php and I am going to guess you would just barf all over it.
But here's a post where I asked for help on this subject, and where I got the idea to write my own app. There are a number of other ideas in there, and one really good HTML/JS app from github that does the same thing but is way better.
Oh wow. So cool. Visit the Scotch Experience for me please.
Oh! I just did this (used an AI chatbot to help me code a web app) to easily resize images.
It was a great experience and I only edited about 5% of the code it provided. I used the bot via DuckDuckGo. The app is simple, eh, but it works. Would vibe code again fer sher.

Reminder: Images good, words bad
I've searched around and can't find this but it seems like someone must have created this already. I am hoping to find a self-hosted image resizer app. I frequently need to take photos from my phone (etc...) and make them small enough to post online.
For instance, my lemmy instance (lemm.ee) only allows images in posts if they are smaller than 500KB but my phone's photos are always larger than that.
In a perfect world, I could just browse to a local server app, upload an image, select a size to resize it to, hit Go and then download the smaller image. It doesn't have to allow any other editing and it shouldn't store images long-term. I want to self-host so I don't have to upload my images to random web sites I know nothing about.
I would be happy with a FOSS desktop app I can install in linux too, but then I couldn't access it from my phone. The Android apps I found for this either look scammy or include tons of ads.
Anyone know of such a thing? Thanks!
EDIT - UPDATE:
Thank you for the great suggestions. I've installed Image Toolbox on my Android phone and that looks great. It both has a ton of tools but also makes this resizing task very straightforward. Not sure how I never found that before.
But for my desktop, I started writing a PHP app to run in my existing nginx web server. It runs the suggested ffmpeg command under the hood, and since I am the only user on this server, this works very well for me.
That's working now so I am going to tweak a few things and then use it for a while. (Before anyone asks, I started based on the Python recs here, but couldn't get it working (PIP couldn't add Flask because PIP couldn't find PIP???) and so switched to PHP since my local server was already using that from another home-made app. This (PHP) was not as hard as I was afraid it would be, with help from Duck Duck Go's AI chat bot.
I used my php app to shrink this file!
Thank y'all - this is resolved now.
This is a rant about how so many apps on many different platforms (TVs, mobile devices, computers, etc...) have decided to not actually show detailed errors any more. Instead, we get something along the lines of:
Oops, somehting went wrong. Please try again later
.... and then, well, we get to figure out what just happened and what in the world we need to do about it. And good luck with that, since you have no idea what just failed.
Why software developers?!? Why have you forsaken us?
EDIT 24 hours later: I feel like I need to clarify a few things:
I've worked for 8 software companies over 30+ years. I know why putting a DB error into the message users see is a bad idea. I know that makes me uncommon, but I still want more info from these messages.
You all are answering as if there are only two ways this can work: (a) what we have now (which is useless), and (b) a detailed error listing showing a full stack trace. I think the developers could meet me half-way.
What I want is either (a) "Something went wrong on the server, you can't fix it, but we will" or (b) "Something on your end didn't work. Check your network or restart the app or do something differently and then try the same thing again". And if they're blocking me because I'm using a VPN, fucking say so (but that's a whole separate thing...)
Some apps do provide enough info so I have a clue what I should do next, and I appreciate the effort they put into helping me. I think what I am really ranting about is I want more developers to take the time to do this instead of reporting all errors with "Oops, try again". (If the error is in their server, why should I try again?) Give me a hint as to the problem, so I have something to go on.
Cheers y'all. Still love you my techy brothers and sisters.
I have Immich Server Version: v1.115.0. They're up to v1.129.0. I am guessing there have been lots of breaking changes in that range, since that was true the last time I updated.
Is there a safe way now to update without making me read all the release notes and carefully craft my docker compose file in multiple steps to make sure I don't lose anything in the process of getting caught up?
Thanks for any tips.
ETA: Or just, how do you handle your Immich (in Docker) updates in general?
2ND EDIT: I did read the release notes. After a lot of reading, there was 1 change (updating their internal Port # for the main service to 2283) It's done. Thanks y'all. My cats appreciate you all.
