nickster | 1 year ago | on: Ask HN: What's the best way to de-Google photos?

I’ve been using Immich for about 4 months. My original goal was to migrate off of google photos. Immich is the best self hosted option. But google photos search is so much better. You can search for a location, date, item, landmark with natural language Immich takes a little finessing to get the result you’re looking for. It’s also not great for pet photos yet. I’m running both in parallel hoping some day Immich catches up with some of those features. I’ve donated for the license that funds some of the development. Even over the last four months I’ve seen some improvement. The mobile app needs some work for background syncing but it’s on the road map for early 2025.

Eagle.cool is a cool application! I can think of a lot of things you could track beyond image assets. I have a few friends that work in the prop industry and they have always talked about wanting a way to track props across productions.

nickster | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do you Version Control your Scripts?

In our software development we tag a git branch and code gets compiled and deployed and we would like to synchronize those systems.

The scripts might involve a change to how a user is added to the system and another might be a change for how a user is updated. The "update user" script cannot be deployed until the "add user" script is deployed.

Cleaning my house for 10 minutes after getting home from work. It Has save me a significant amount of time on the weekend, by lowering the number of house cleaning chores I have to do. Sometimes I spend more than 10 minutes but I try to set that as the bar and sweep or fold laundry or load the dishwasher.

I have been using request blocking in developer tools for the last month. It's really made some aspects of development easier for me. I hope Firefox follows suit and adds it.
