In my headcanon octarine is a colour between orange and deep purple. Sometimes it has a hazy blackish halo.

I think it's described as a "greenish purple" in some of the books.

I've always taken it to be that the color is unique to the situation/viewer -- a sort of pearlescent void-color that can't be described in any known language, but which just Is. More a physical phenomenon than an actual color, but distinctly hued somehow.

I always thought it was something like https://www.moodlight.org/ (set to 60 colors/second) or https://flashing-colors.com/ (set to 100 colors/second).

Note that those are possibly photosensitive epilepsy risks if you turn them up to 60/100.

I'd suggest the LLM visualiser (1) by Brendan Bycroft. I'm a visual learner and it helped me understand LLMs better than anything else ever could.

"but "Green policies forbid those actions nowadays" is a bit of a dogwhistle that you oppose environmental protection regulations broadly (not merely overzealous ones that have side-effects that make combating certain types of wildfires harder in certain situations)"

thats a bit of a "dogwhistle" that you're not actually convinced that green policies can ever be deranged and counterproductive. On the contrary. I don't know if you're a a brainwashed virtue signaler, but I'm assuming it. You don't say so outright, but the mental gymnastics of calling someone a climate changer denier who just said climate change is widely recognised are staggering.

This truly is the least intelligent timeline. Please check with Dunning and Kruger if you're part of the problem.

sure but anthropic is not literally in the comments complaining, so it's not quite apples to apples, right?

there go the next 4h21m of my day. Couldn't be more excited!

I wonder if this ritual of meta-self-policing serves some particular purpose or if it's just a case of the brain drawing comfort from going through a familiar ritual. "This comment adds nothing" is like the reverse amen in church of our days.

I think it's just people who can't help but tell others how to live their lives.

Another example of context collapse. Meta-meta commenting always adds something if only unironically.

The purpose was to discourage comments which added nothing I thought.

There I fixed it for you.

But it's written in Rust so it must be good :D

Memory safe, but idea unsafe

I think we'd be better off limiting whom to kill to one person only.

I mean sure, but look, I will not make the same mistakes.

Also my context is totally different. And MY oven concept has none of the drawbacks of their oven and Claude tells me I'm definitely on to something.

I'm off to the notary to sign the docs for Oven.ai (got the domain for only 300k!!) See ya on my yacht!

There's a lot of things I spent a ton of time setting up, use once, and then never again. Tons of things that are easy to set up, and provide small benefits every day for a long time. Immich has got to be the thing that I've spent ages setting up, use extremely infrequently but the one time a year I use it I'm so happy I did. Great software.

Man, I wish my experience was as nice. I used the proxmox lxc for it and after a 2 months of organizing I had some corruption and didn't have the fortitude to get through the debugging. It might have been related to a big version migration if I remember correctly. It turned me off the stack. The upgrading wasn't as turnkey as I wanted it to be and I dont think the case is different today.

I just want to be able to organize my folders outside of some dumb library system and immich at the time fought that as well.

I'm not sure I will ever upgrade Immich again. When I upgraded to the next minor version (I forget which off the top of my head), the data migration corrupted my database such that no images would be served. Fortunately I had the old database backed up, so I restored it, rolled back to the older version of Immich, and things were back to normal. I like Immich, but this is not good for software that's beyond the first major version, and also handles archiving people's personal data.

> Fortunately I had the old database backed up

You say this as if it wasn’t Immich itself that backed up the database automatically next to your image files.

I think they’re one of the best self-hosted services when it comes to backup/restore — enabling it by default — and when it comes to migrations — no breaking changes in minor versions after 1.0.

Did you report this issue so I could try and reproduce it?

I had an issue where my thumbnails were borked somehow, so I deleted them all. However, I didn't delete the database entries, so they never got regenerated.

I ended up doing that manually, but it's great to see that is now a first class citizen in 3.0.0. I love Immich.

In proxmox restoring a backup is really easy, I'm surprised you didn't do that!

Yes! Or even better, use Proxmox snapshots during upgrades for easy rollback on failure

if you have a PBS its just incredibly simple.

In my case I spent it not so much time setting it up, some time upgrading with some manual work required from time to time with breaking changes (but not so often) and I use it weekly, it just works and it's wonderful.
