I have external usb3 and usb-c raid arrays.... You need to buy expensive enclosures, something that cost 100€+ to be safe, then it will work for a long time.

My older usb3 array (4 disks in a jbod) is almost 7 years old and kicking.

I got an amazon fire stick, all the new ones support av1 and all android devices from A14 must support av1 too.

On PC vlc plays it just fine too.

Indeed, but YMMV and to me quality is still good if source was not a remix but a top quality encoding

Some notes: Don't use GPU to reencode you will lose quality.

Don't worry for long encoding times, specially if the objective is long term storage.

Power consumption might be significant. I run mine what the sun shine and my photovoltaic picks up the tab.

And go AV1, open source and seems pretty committed to by the big players. Much more than h265.

In my experience, you always gain space savings going av1 from 264 and 265 as well. For me its always been significant savings at the same quality level.

Ofc YMMV and use a very recent ffmpeg with the best av1 libraries.

Go AV1... In my direct experience the space saving is simply amazing at the same quality.

265 doesn't seems to be the future since all Android are going to support AV1 by mandatory from A14.

Please add support for it, it would be greatly useful

[–] Shimitar@feddit.it 2 points 2 years ago

Its for lucky people without CG-NAT which today means people from USA mostly....

Radicale. Setup was a breeze and Just Works Fine. A piece of set and forget software for me.

This looks very cool and promising.

Iove that you can deploy on bare metal, immich doesn't allow that.

Does it support base-url? I mean can I host it on xxx.mydomain.com/gallery for example?

No idea how to put a nice heart emoticon here... But assume I did!

For it to be, you need a solid paying user base. Which is not the case at hand.

Very often also at.enterprise level the big money is in training, support and courses rather than in the software licenses per se.
