Nextcloud vs Immich : arrêtez de comparer ! 🛑
L'un est un bureau numérique (PDF, agenda), l'autre une galerie photo ultra-rapide dopée à l'IA. Ce ne sont pas des concurrents, mais des alliés ! 🤝

On another front, I have been unsatisfied about how poor Synology Photos is at indexing and using ML to search photos. Backup and syncing is fine, but the search is very weak. So I did some research on #Immich, which seems to be a very solid and much better alternative.
However my #NAS as it is only has 4GB of RAM, and the usage is already around 70-75% anytime of the day. So I either need to upgrade the #RAM, or add a dedicated computing device to run Immich on (storage will still be on the NAS).
And holy cow the rabbit hole of used server / computer / parts is so fun to dig in. I was thinking about a 1U rack server, but the fan noise was just too much. I watched a few YouTube videos and it sounds like a jet engine... So small form then... I honestly don't know what hardware I should get for Immich and maybe I'd add more service to it... so I haven't bought anything. I did find some used ECC SODIMM RAMs on eBay which I ordered.
I'll upgrade the RAM and see how it goes to have Immich run on the NAS.
BTW the #Synology branded ECC SODIMM 4GB is listed for over $600+...... I'm really not liking Synology as a company now.
Ah the Immich transcoding has a bug where the tone mapping is broken - transcoded HEVC video thumbnails are very dark with NVENC. Not sure if it happens with other encoders. I’d love to use av1 but my old hardware doesn’t support that…
