Technology@lemmy.world•Google Starts Scanning All Your Photos As New Update Goes LiveEnglish
9·2 months agoSame, I set it up a few years ago and both me and my partner have been using it since then with no issues at all, it’s completely replaced Google Photos for us.
We’ve also set up immich-frame and repurposed an old Google Nest hub to use as a digital photo frame.

Games@lemmy.world•What was the first game you ever bought ?English
2·3 months agoThis might not actually be the first one, but one of the earliest games I definitely remember actually buying with my own money was Geoff Crammond’s Grand Prix 2. I would have been around 7 or so.
Definitely worth it, great game and the demos on the CD introduced me to Transport Tycoon, and the XCom and Worms franchises - and things kind of snowballed from there!
Cable wasn’t as much as a thing over here except in specific areas, but if you were flush you might have satellite TV. Nothing so bourgeois for me though!
I was born in 89, so remember a good portion of the 90s. It was a much simpler time but obviously we tend to romanticise the fun memories and quietly ignore how vastly more inconvenient daily life was.
Mobile phones were not really a thing yet so getting in touch with your friends required a combination of patience and sheer luck.
The internet was a different place entirely and was experienced in 30 minute chunks of time, just long enough to download a song or two before being kicked off for tying up the landline.
Daily entertainment was 4, maybe 5 analogue TV channels, plus a collection of VHS tapes which are all degrading by being rewatched constantly.
Every piece of life admin that you would normally do online today was instead done with pen and paper.
Honestly, I’m amazed we ever got anything done.

News@lemmy.world•Amid its worst ever crisis, Tesla offers discounts on its best-selling car just weeks after new Model Y launch
6·1 year agoThe main issue was a catastrophic failure of the VC_FRONT module which is one of the critical onboard computers that manages things like the 12v battery and low voltage power distribution (basically a “smart” fuse box). Without it the car is bricked and cannot be driven.
That took several weeks and some back and forth around the extended warranty to resolve, and then even after that module was replaced, on my first drive after the repair it went straight into limp mode and then spent another week at the service centre having that diagnosed.
During this time I decided it might be time to start looking for a new car, ended up selling it a few months later and took delivery of a new Polestar 2.

News@lemmy.world•Amid its worst ever crisis, Tesla offers discounts on its best-selling car just weeks after new Model Y launch
8·1 year agoI’m not sure why anyone expected a new facelift would improve sales. It’s clear the overall decline is associated with Musk going full mask-off fascist, given this, driving around in a car that looks unlike any previous Model Y just makes it completely obvious that you knew this and decided to buy one anyway. If they want to bolster sales, maybe they should have kept producing the pre-facelifted versions for a while.
Full disclosure, I used to own a Model 3. I had it for 5 years and was generally very happy with it - it was a great daily driver, cost very little to run and maintain, and (aside from a few issues later in my ownership, which was one of the reasons I decided to sell it) in general it was very easy to live with.
There are clearly some very skilled engineers at Tesla who know how to build a great product. It is a shame their efforts are being undermined by a fascist lunatic with a narcissist complex.
Old? Check. Male? Check. Hung out on Epstein island? Check.
Seems like a perfect match to me.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How to secure Jellyfin hosted over the internet?English
3·1 year agoRight now none of the native clients support SSO. It is a frequently requested feature but, unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it will be implemented any time soon. As with many OSS projects it is probably a case of “you want it, you build it” - but nobody has actually stepped up.

29·1 year agoFor web access, stick it behind a reverse proxy and use something like Authentik/Authelia/SSO provider of your choice to secure it.
For full access including native clients, set up a VPN.
