  • Jesus Christ. Enshittification because of “AI” is getting out of hand.

    If this isn’t happening in other search engines, then DDG is likely doing it, which would be awful as it neuters the point of showing snippets for search results.

    EDIT: I just tried on DDG, and I’m not seeing that summary result, even when I enable AI features. It’s entirely possible that DDG (or reddit) is A/B testing this as a future feature. You should have an option of “leaving feedback” in the three dot menu beside that search result.









  • So many:

    • Unsubscribe links that are magically broken.
    • Newsletter popups when you’re trying to view content.
    • Websites that are paywalled coming up in search engines.
    • Broken shopping cart payment systems.
    • The fact that it’s an assault on your senses to browse without an adblocker.
    • “Sign in to view content” for articles, posts, etc.
    • Banking sites that time out after a minute.
    • likewise, shopping cart sessions that expire before you’re done shopping.
    • AI generated articles that don’t even sound like they’re referring to the right topic.
    • Recipe websites that have a 15 page story for each recipe without a way to skip to the actual recipe.
    • “Endless scrolling” that prevents you from accessing links at the bottom of the page.
    • Business websites that don’t list an address.
    • “Password must be short enough to guess.”
    • "How did we do? " emails.
    • Automatic newsletter sign-up.
    • Desktop websites that act as if you’re on a phone (i.e swipe through grocery filters instead of scrolling through them).
    • Unreadable, archaic, and/or low-contrast fonts.
    • “This content is not available in your country.”

    I could list dozens more. 😮‍💨




  • Interesting, it’s slightly slower for me through the web interface both with a direct connect to my network, or when proxied through the internet. Still, we’re talking seconds here, and the results are so accurate!

    Immich has effectively replaced the (expensive) Windows software Excire Foto, which I was using for on-device contextual search because Synology Photos search just sucks. Excire isn’t ideal to run from Linux because it has to be done through a VM, so I’m happy to self-host Immich and be able to use it even while out of the house.



  • Incredible… first there’s an Epstein file with Trump’s name on it, then there’s no Epstein file, then there is and can destroy lives.

    So, 100% he’s on it. And I’m sure a lot of his current associates are on it, too.

    That said, not only should the release of the file be made public and lives be ruined, but justice must also be swift and harsh for the pedos and the people who stayed hush for pedos.




  • I decided on the ViT-B-16-SigLIP2__webli model, so switched to that last night. I also needed to update my server to the latest version of Immich, so a new smart search job was run late last night.

    Out of 140,000+ photos/videos, it’s down to 104,000 and I have it set to 6 concurrent tasks.

    I don’t mind it processing for 24h. I believe when I first set immich up, the smart search took many days. I’m still able to use the app and website to navigate and search without any delays.
