Search speed was never an issue before, and neither was quality. My biggest gripe is not being able to sort search by date! If I had that, it would be perfect.

But I’ll update you once it’s done (at 97,000 to go… )

I decided on the ViT-B-16-SigLIP2__webli model, so switched to that last night. I also needed to update my server to the latest version of Immich, so a new smart search job was run late last night.

Out of 140,000+ photos/videos, it’s down to 104,000 and I have it set to 6 concurrent tasks.

I don’t mind it processing for 24h. I believe when I first set immich up, the smart search took many days. I’m still able to use the app and website to navigate and search without any delays.

Seemed to be the most popular. LOL The smart search job hasn’t been running for long, so I’ll check that other one out and see how it compares. If it looks better, I can easily use that.

Running now.

That’s a Celeron right?

Yup, the Intel J4125 Celeron 4-Core CPU, 2.0-2.7Ghz.

I switched to the ViT-SO400M-16-SigLIP2-384__webli model, same as what you use. I don’t worry about processing time, but it looks like a more capable model, and I really only use immich for contextual search anyway, so that might be a nice upgrade.

Is this something that would be recommended if self-hosting off a Synology 920+ NAS?

My NAS does have extra ram to spare because I upgraded it, and has NVME cache 🤗

Wipe your ass with that.

As demonstrated in Montreal, Toronto, Paris (France), Netherlands (pick any city), Berlin, San Francisco, and every other place that takes transportation seriously, you have to degrow car-centric infrastructure to build people moving infrastructure, including bike lanes.

The growing urban population needs to find more sustainable ways to get around, because you can never satisfy car-centric infrastructure. “One more lane, bro” isn’t an actual solution to anything.

Thanks for sharing. I can finally get off LT.

How many bombs did he drop on Russia? Because he said he would end the war against Ukraine.

Oh, it will happen.

And when will he force every home and business to have a portrait of himself on the walls? Because, that will probably happen, too.

They are all over here, specifically at crossings that join MUPs (Multi Use Paths).

But they have made some areas more dangerous because of drivers who don’t stop behind the line. A pedestrian walking slowly might not be hit, but a cyclist going bike speed is at far greater risk of “not being seeing”.

be PREDICTABLE

This is why I strongly support banning on-street parking. Cars that randomly park on the side of the road, big, small, tall, some too far out, some blocking signs, some creating blind spots… they just create unpredictability and randomness for other road users.

… someone stopped in the roundabout to let a car in.

I wish more people realized how dangerous some nice acts can be.

I’ve been in plenty of situations where someone might wave me on in situations where it really isn’t appropriate or safe, so I have to basically yell at them to continue.

The last thing I want is for a driver with good intentions to be rear ended, and me getting hit. Three people’s day would be ruined, at the very least.

I turned around and gave him the “what the fuck” hands and gestured at the stop sign, and this mother fucker looked at me like I fucked up.

Not long ago, I was going through an intersection on a green… from one bike lane, continuing into the other on the other side of the intersection.

While I had a green, a driver making a left nearly ran into me, honked and did the same “what the fuck are you doing” to me.

It’s pretty amazing that we don’t hear of crashes every minute of the day, because some people quite literally have no idea what the hell they are doing.

Yes, maybe they didn’t know cross rides were a thing, were fatigued and forgot, etc.

This is why people get killed, unfortunately. We had a teenager, riding through a cross ride, and was killed by a driver who didn’t stop behind the line late last year. I visited the spot, and even with a goddamn shrine set up under the stop sign, drivers were still not stopping. I was disappointed, and furious by this lack of care.

I value my bikes far too much, but in my head, I would love to! LOL

My ride yesterday was about 5 hours, across 7 municipalities, and over 130km.

I can say with confidence that there were at least a dozen close calls at intersections and cross rides, specifically because drivers aren’t paying attention.

I had one lady “stop”, and then crawl into the crossing, while looking only to her left (I was coming from her right). I had to stop and ring my bell before she even realized that I was there.

Many, MANY people making turns without checking for pedestrians and cyclists crossing.

And not stopping behind the line happened more times than I can count.

I’ve witnessed a few times people actually driving onto bike paths! Not just bike lanes, but fucking paths, like ones that go through parks and forests! Just clueless about what they’re doing.

Maybe they didn’t know.

Didn’t know what? The traffic rules?

Our local police do squat about traffic violations, unfortunately, unless they are present when the infraction occurs. I’ve got a video of this entire thing, she was in the cross ride for at least 17 seconds. And I’m sure she was on her phone for more than just this encounter.

This kind of lack of awareness is why we have so many pedestrian and cyclist deaths in places designed to be “safe” for cyclists and pedestrians!

Is a cross ride like a crosswalk but for bikes or something?

Yes, you can ride through with your bike. Notice the two green lights above her, those are bike symbols, indicating that I have the right of way to cross. She needed to STOP behind the line, and also not be on her phone (illegal).

You don’t even have to be old. Death or serious illness/injury can affect us at any age, and it would suck if your family lost access to all the self-hosted photos and videos, for example.

“Make it usable” is a great idea.
