  • Either when I lived through a magnitude ~7 earthquake while on the 21st floor of an airbnb in a country I didn’t speak the main language of, or the time a moth flew into my ear and got stuck there alive so deep in my ear that four hours later at the hospital the doctors almost didn’t believe that it happened to me at all. I could hear it flapping and struggling the whole time.

    The building I was in stayed structurally sound, and the doctors did eventually believe me and find a way to drown/suffocate the moth (although they couldn’t get the corpse out until I could make an appointment with an ear specialist 3 days later because of a long weekend. So I guess maybe both stories are not so interesting in the end, but they still mark two of the worst moments of my life









  • i found their site and in confused by this part of their intro page:

    “That was how the idea started to grow in my head. After that, I began to find existing solutions in the self-hosting space with similar backup functionality and the performance level of the App-Which-Must-Not-Be-Named. I found that the current solutions mainly focus on the gallery-type application. However, I want a simple-to-use backup tool with a native mobile app that can view photos and videos efficiently.”

    what is the main thing that separates immich from other “gallery-type applications”? wouldnt all comparable apps have some kind of gallery?



  • If their gonna go monkeys paw on my ass, it’s gonna happen no matter how specific I get. you can’t outsmart wish-granters, they literally bend fate to their will.

    also sorry for nitpicking, but a real monkeys paw would be something like:

    “the way you find out the winning lotto numbers is by a lawyer knocking on your door and saying your son died horrifically and he left you this lotto ticket in his will.”

    the numbers would get you your million dollar jackpot, your wish would be fully granted, you just won’t want it anymore because of the price you paid for it. winning $50 from some granny’s bingo Hall instead of the thing you actually wished for is hardly a consequence at all, more like a prank a genie would pull just to fuck with you. monkeys paws are more cruel than that.

    I always accept these just to see what kinda grift it is, sometimes it can be kinda fun to lead scammers on when you figure out what they’re looking for. you can dangle it just out of reach and keep them hooked doing really dumb time-wasty stuff for hours if you’re talented at it
