  • Bro, what sort of hate-train are you on?

    You can dislike the iPhone, that’s totally cool and your prerogative. But making up lies just looks silly.

    You can’t install or update a single app on a google play protected phone without an account either, and now that sideloading is getting locked down your options are even fewer. And what’s this nonsense about no calculator? The iPhone has had a calculator since 2007.





  • Same as the other reply here, if you’re on your local network most likely be a 192. address. You can find this on the host server by the “ip a” command.

    Personally immich is pretty advanced for someone new to homelab, you might find starting with homeassistant or something might be easier to get started. Also immich is super beta right now and prone to drastic breaking changes with each update.








  • At least where I work, our cloud team is ~35 people who manage the whole thing.

    The datacenter team? In the hundreds.

    Cloud is not the answer to every infra problem, but the flexibility, time to market, and lifecycle burden are easily beneficial weighed against finops. I’m an Azure engineer myself, it’s no comparison the benefits to a managed solution vs rolling your own DC for a lot of regular business workloads and solutions. Beyond that personally I’ve been able to skill up in areas I wouldn’t be able to otherwise if I was stuck troubleshooting bad cables, rebuilding a dead RAID array, or planning VMWare scaling nonsense.
