Funnily enough I’ve been looking for a similar utility.
I use jellyfin, and yacy for my local media/documents
Jellyfin isn’t really a search engine, and it may or may not work if you disconnect the drives.
From my experience with shows and movies it does great with metadata and displaying what i have in my collection. However it’s not as good for searching images/videos, as you have to search the exact image/video name (unless it has metadata)
Yacy on the other hand, is much more like a traditional search engine, with an index and all. It’s great for documents (html, md, txt even docx), but doesn’t do well with media files, as it can’t pull metadata, so you have to search all media by title.
I dont think yacy has real time updating, if it does, idk how to enable it.
Both yacy and jellyfin have a way to blacklist things, but they’re just completely different
yacy has a url based blacklist, while jellyfin only displays stuff from folders you tell it to (basically a whitelist)
There was a program that I had stumbled across that was able to index a photos folder using image recognition to generate a description that you could search. I have since forgotten the name of the program but it does exist, and if I find it again I’ll update this comment.
Personally I want something that works like yacy for traditional documents, and can use image recognition for images, but I have yet to find it.
EDIT: I have found the program that does image recognition: sist2I have tried it once before, from experience the sqlite search is a bit janky but works decently enough imo, i haven’t tried the other indexing method.
You probably got it but “came second” might sound like he came second to the other person in the picture. The couple who got the gold isn’t in this comparison image.
I want to start using eSIM but I keep hearing about issues with tethering and the phone reporting normal data usage as tethered so I’ve always avoided it due to that. My fear is at some point carriers charging a fee to switch the eSIM from one phone to another.
I used to joke that the last Mac I used was the first one they made that had colour - I’ve used every Mac from the seminal one up to and including the Color Classic (MacOS 1 up to 7) - but my last job gave me a MacBook. I was curious about it since I’ve seen many a coworker love them, but I soon found myself hating the damn thing so much that I ended up installing the work tools on my own Linux-laden ThinkPad.
Used to be, they were fast and no nonsense, simply effective and efficient work horses. No doubt they still are, but it was fighting med in everything I wanted it to do. What do you mean “there’s no way to mount a USB stick on MACOS”?!
Hardware wise they’re still brilliant wrt. power and battery life, but getting a 2nd (or, gasp, even 3rd) monitor to work with it? Yikes what a shit show that was. Truly a walled garden, I stand by my usual words of “they’re excellent machines if you want to use them exactly as Apple intended.”
…sorry for going off track. So, back in the day. There was MacWrite, MacPaint, Aldus PageMaker (which, then, was way more useful for actual publishing work than after the Adobe take-over), and a ton of games! Granted, you only had 512*whatever in pure black and white, but it was crisp and the games had excellent sound. Pinball Construction Set had 4-voice digital sound and flawless physics (hmm, except I don’t actually remember if it had a Tilt feature). Oh yeah, add in AppleTalk which blew Novell and Windows for Workgroups plain out of the water. The ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) connector predates PS/2 and curiously allowed a Mac to have any number of keyboards and two mice connected, something we made good use of when gaming.
There was the ImageWriter which could do plain copy paper rather than Leparello paper and had exquisite resolution compared to the clunky 8-pin DOS offerings. Really, the Mac SE and the ImageWriter II are, in my mind, the pinnacle of industrial design - at least of the 80s era.
Thanks for reading all that. You should go have a look at folklore.org if you’re interested in stories from the inside.
But if you just want to test mint to see how it feels, you can boot from a USB and install mint on a second usb. That way you are less prone to lose any data should something happen.
Make sure that the second USB is somewhat recent and has minimum 32 Gb for an optimal experience.
If money wasn’t an object I think I’d get a Framework but I’ve always had a good experience with Lenovo for a more budget-friendly option. My last two laptops have been Lenovos and have both worked super well with Linux.
So why didn’t they write that? It’s a bad documentation if someone doesn’t understand it. If you’re not going to explain something, at least share a source to where it’s explained.
Yes, they are all media but they are not specific to a single type of media. Today I may want to find a book and tomorrow a song with the same program. So the files can be literature, audio, movies, series, etc.
Well, at least the “hard radiation” part: Louis Slotin, one of the victims of the demon core, reported a sour taste when the screwdriver he was using to hold the halves of the core apart slipped and they slammed together and went supercritical.
If you’re worried a out a database being corrupt, I’d recommend doing an actual backup dump of the database and not only backing up the raw disk files for it.
That should help provide some consistency. Of course it takes longer too if it’s a big db
With that said if backing up the raw files of a db while the service is stopped can produce a bad backup, I think we have bigger problems. That’s because restoring the raw files and starting the service is functionally equivalent to just starting the service with its existing raw files. If that could cause a problem then the service can’t be trusted to be stopped and restarted either. Am I wrong?
I was talking about dumping the database as an alternative to backing up the raw database files without stopping the database first. Taking a filesystem-level snapshot of the raw database without stopping the database first also isn’t guaranteed to be consistent. Most databases are fairly resilient now though and can recover themselves even if the raw files aren’t completely consistent. Stopping the database first and then backing up the raw files should be fine.
I love India and the people from India. I worked in IT for Ford for over 30 years and had a lot of Indian coworkers and traveled to India a few times for work. Like others have said, all of them came over through technology jobs. Unfortunately many companies in the US play the green card game to keep your wages low. Finding a company that will help get your card is very tough. If you can handle the learning for controls engineering, a 2 year degree will get you a good paying job in a lot of the western world helping companies with their automation of production lines. One of my friends who had all the needed skills wanted to come to the US so much but his pronunciation of words was really bad and it was very hard to understand him so he could never get past an initial interview.
But I agree about the current state of India but nationalist leaders are gaining more power and Modi is an example of that. His playing the Hindu and nationalist card over and over again is an example of that. When I’d walk around it was always amazing to see stone and bronze workers doing work that’s been done for hundreds of years along side shops with ISO certification making advanced tooling and micro parts. India is where the Bronze age meets the digital age. I’ve never seen that anywhere else. China is probably the closest but I didn’t see as much technical incongruity on one street like I would in India.
As a worker and many agreed with this view, Indians and many Asians are great at following orders which is what they grew up with, but thinking out of the box was usually a challenge. I believe the freedoms of the west allow people more ability to see things differently and we feel like our view/idea/opinion has value and should be heard because of the differences in the individual. Because of that we’re more willing to contemplate other methods in our own heads about possibilities instead of just doing what rote learning taught and not go against the grain with teachers, bosses, etc. Like you’re finding, seeing what others choose not to see is a challenge. The young are the future and need to stand up for the view of the world they want. It has to start at the local level with enough force to be a regional power. Unfortunately the nationalist have a lot of thugs to do their work and wrack havoc on people trying to bring about change that would challenge those in power and bring more power to the individuals.

That’s very interesting, thanks for suggestion, I will look it up!

Haha… I have got personal experience with the goons. The ones who clam to religion the hardest (at least at the local level) seem to be the most morally corrupt. I have had this experience since I was a little kid, the people who wear the most saffron seem to be the least intelligent and empathetic. I had once seen a guy no older than myself at the time hurl rape abuses at a woman under her facebook post and the man was bloody covered in saffron! These fuckers made me lose my love for the color! Ughh…
For Indians, thinking out of a box is a problem because we are punished from straying too far from the line. You have no idea how hard it was for me to protect my curiosity and whatever creative thinking I have, to be removed surgically by our academic system. Even today, I dabble in subjects as diverse as neuroscience, differential geometry, scientific computing and computer graphics. But, I am one of the lucky ones. I have enrolled in an introductory chocolatier course, because chocolate fascinates me. Of course, my real job is that of a software developer. But, it is frustrating to work for companies with no vision beyond find a western client and develop some website/application on a budget. But that is the curse, I guess.
