I run it off my Home Assistant. The images are stored on my Western Digital MyCloud EX2 Ultra (which is kinda crap, but works) on a RAID1 volume, which is mirrored onto a similar NAS in the other end of the house. Ideally it should be off-site, but I haven’t been able to find a good spot yet.

Sorry, the Nvidia Shield. It’s super old, but still best in class.

I’m self hosting Immich. I honestly get much better results from their search than I do from Google photos. It’s not quite as mature, but it’s definitely good enough!

Kodi running on an (old) Nvidia Shield Pro, reading from a NAS via dlnr. This works nicely and I don’t get any quality degradation… Except for HDR+ which the shield doesn’t support and I was stupid and bought a Samsung TV, which is bad for numerous reasons, but also this one.

And of course, we are now closing in on the decade since it was released, and still no viable replacement.

Running home assistant with a few addons on a mostly dormant raspberry pi. This totals to 19 lines.

I’m not commenting on the black people, but it’s honestly always such a bullshit take to say that something like lack of consistency in a movie cannot be ruined because it has supernatural elements. Like the actor complaining that people asked him why he didn’t lose weight after walking for months, and he points to the dragons. Yes! There are dragons! They are part of Game of Thrones! A guy should still lose weight if he walks for months on a sparse diet! (Also not commenting on having immersion ruined because overweight dude remains overweight, only on the argument)
