  • "y'all" fills a legitimately useful gap the English language has. Other languages have a word like this.

    Edit: also something cool I just found out, some languages have a way to disinguish "we" (you and I), and "we" (me and the rest of us, not you). It's called clusivity and is missing from European languages. Many indigenous languages of the Americas and Oceania have this, as well as Vietnamese and northern dialects of Mandarin.

    People born after 2000 have never seen the cosmic microwave background on their TV set.

    I've never had such good first layers. Replaced my warped ass Ender3S1 bed with a mirror.

    I'm actually not afraid of printing things larger than a few square inches on the bed.... Waited way too long for this. Tightening up the eccentric screws on the bed carriage so it doesn't wobble also helps.

    The Lemmy Club has updated to Lemmy 0.19.4!

    Sorry it took 35 minutes over my promised timeframe. My fault. I should've been keeping up my Ansible config not bumbling around manually. Then I would've known that I needed to uncap pict-rs' memory limit. Ah well we got there in the end.

    ----

    0.19.4 mostly changes things in the backend, but there are a couple notable user features:

    • You can now see all media you've uploaded and delete what you wish (only affects media uploaded after the upgrade)

    • Better federation with Mastodon and other similar software, all posts are tagged with the community name (in the background, you won't see it) so that Mastodon users can see them.

    • Vote totals now have settings. You can see a total (Upvotes minus downvotes), both seperate, or a percentage.

    You can see the full changelog here.

    As always, thanks for being a member of The Lemmy Club.

    Defederation of eviltoast.org

    Hey all -

    Just a quick announcement that we're currently not federating with eviltoast.org - it seems to be the base of the spam bots we've seen recently. I don't think the site administration teams have anything to do with the spam however they also seem to be absent, and are not doing anything to combat it. Until such time that they are actively cleaning up their spam issue they will remain defederated. I'm pretty lax about our federation, but this has been a persistent issue (See rule 9). I'm sure the spammer will probably find another host at some point though.

    Thanks for being a member of TheLemmy.Club

    Edit: it looks like thier admins have cleaned it up. Removing for now.

    Highlights

    Welcome to release v1.99.0 of Immich. This release adds the new logo, fixes many bugs, and improves the application. Some of the highlights include:

    • \[WEB] Sort photos and videos to display direction in an album.
    • On-disk cache on the mobile app to provide a better viewing experience.
    • There is a new endpoint for OpenTelemetry metrics to monitor performance.
    • Optimized queries for large libraries.
    • Add upload progress and speed indicator.
    • XMP sidecar file is now recognized with both photo.ext.xmp and photo.xmp extensions.
    • Drag to select - Now press your thumb to drag and select in the selection mode.
    • Improve user feedback in the mobile app's backup and album selection screen.
    • Various improvements for the library scanning process.

    Asset's display direction in the album

    We added an option to change the order of the assets in the album so you can view the assets from older to newest and vice versa.

    album.view\.order.mp4

    Mobile asset caching

    Improving cache for remote thumbnails and the images, they now stay on disk so that they can load faster and give a better experience while used offline. You should feel a faster loading experience across the app.

    Performance monitoring with OpenTelemetry integration

    Immich provides a variety of performance metrics to allow for local monitoring and insights. This integration is primarily in the form of Prometheus metrics. However, exporting traces is also possible due to OpenTelemetry instrumentation. Please visit the documentation to learn how to enable this feature

    Note

    This opt-in feature allows you to monitor Immich's performance. This data isn't sent anywhere beyond what you've configured.

    File size progress and upload speed indicator

    We added an indicator to show the file's size that has been uploaded and the upload speed under the progress bar in the backup screen.

    Simulator.Screen.Recording.-.iPhone.15.Pro.Max.-.2024-03-14.at.18.08.37.mp4

    Drag to select

    You can now drag to select in the mobile app when in selection mode; this will help make selecting in bulk easier.

    drag\_to\_select.mp4

    And lastly, I want to express my gratitude to @immich-app/contributor who make this behemoth of a release happen 🎉

    ***

    And as always, bugs are fixed, and many other improvements also come with this release.
