    Reading Time: 5 minutesLast night I installed Immich on an HP laptop with ease.

    Reading Time: 4 minutesWhile playing with Nextcloud I found a serious flaw. If you add images via the command line from one directory to another, and then delete them, then their ghosts remain in the timeline.

    Reading Time: 2 minutesToday as I walked from one village to another I looked up the hill and I saw a cloud arch framing a nearby village and I had to take a picture. The framing of the image was rather unique. It is below. Is it kitsch? There is a good chance. It was…

    Reading Time: 2 minutesIt’s interesting, isn’t it?
