I am running #PhotoPrism on a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB of RAM, using a 1TB SSD as the main and only drive, using the Pimoroni NVMe Base.

So far, I could not properly measure the performance, because I don’t know how to do it, but I am satisfied! Yet, this is definitely not a future-proof solution, since I need way more storage: I still haven’t imported most of my pictures there, and I need to prepare for plenty more to come.

The simplest (yet quite pricey, 261£) option would be to get a Pimoroni NVMe Duo and maximize it with a total of 4TB NVMe SSDs.

I think this is not optimal, though, and probably I could be spending all that money much better… Do you have any advice?

The thing about hosting a personal media gallery is that it requires a lot of resources when indexing the pictures (so only when you add new ones), then it’s super light—correct me if I am wrong, @photoprism. Hence, I’m thinking the best would be an extensible solution where I can add many HDDs and SSDs, without being forced to pump up the other specs too. I would probably be using just one NVMe SSD for the software and the database, and then save everything else in high-performance HDDs, since they are getting cheap and I can get much more storage with less money—of course I am performing a daily backup off-site, as they are more likely to fail, too.

If I am 100% sure that whatever I end up choosing will be solid for many years to come, I am willing to consider spending a bit more on it.

Need for advice on new podcasts to listen to.

Topics could go from politics (anarchist, communist, other), gardening, tech, psychology, music, food, sports.

I am open as long as it has a minimum of affinity with what I already follow:

The Final Straw radio, Tech won't save us, Novara Media, Utopisk front (dk), Going to seed, Frontline herbalism, Anarchist radio Berlin, Crimethinc, Esther Perel, From the Periphery, Unapologetic: The third narative.

Any other name that seems obvious to you that I am missing here on my shelf?

Languages could be dk, fr, en.

Good morning fedi friends! Got another question for ya!

My 18yo cousin is considering a change of major - from HR to #Biology.

Does anyone have a degree in #bio or similar? If so, two questions!

1) What career did you ultimately end up in?

2) If you could redo college, would you get a bio degree again? If not, what would you recommend for someone with a passion for science but a dislike of chemistry?

Thanks y'all! If she was leaning toward the "T" in STEM I could be more help but "S" is more outside my prevue :blobfoxheartcute:

You should learn to be resourceful.

It saved me from being #homeless again today. If I wasn't well versed in how to protect myself, and use what is available to me, I would have been much worse off.

As sad as it is, the #usa is absolutely brutal to you if you suddenly find yourself in a crisis.

You need to be ready, and know what options are available to you. If you don't and a sudden crisis happens, you'll suffer much more.

Especially with how the US is going now.
