We did it Patrick! We saved bikini bottom slowed inflation!

Not sure about Facebook since authenticating for private videos is a hurdle, but for my partner who uses a mac I downloaded open video downloader which is just a foss GUI for ytdl, it also keeps ytdl up to date which is a requirement for me since I don’t want to be called when it stops working. I think on windows you have to manually install msvc2010redist but besides that it seems to just work out of the box.

By dropping prices during the evacuation, the airlines ensured that flights filled up more quickly, making it harder for many to escape.

Bro I just… Wtf

The creation tool also just lets you save the iso - but for some reason the media creation tool gives you a different iso than if you spoofed a non-windows user agent on the windows download website so that it gives you a direct link to the iso instead of getting you to install the creation tool. And for some reason only one of them worked with DISM to repair my system in order to be able to run windows update successfully.

Also add DISM to that - if it’s corrupted it could cause you to be unable to install windows updates.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

It’s also possible that fixing it may require the original windows installation media matching your windows version build number - which means if you’ve since installed a major windows update there may not be an available installation iso that meets the requirement. Happened to me and I was lucky enough to coax an iso out of the windows installer download page that satisfied the repair tool (oddly enough downloading an iso using the Windows Media creation tool didn’t work, but spoofing Linux on the page to directly download an iso gave me a different iso that worked)

These are the things I do to maintain my last windows machine.

Somebody should make an api shim that proxies openapi compatible requests to this. And since Microsoft is forcing copilot on windows 10 they’re on the shit list too. Load balance all the AI workloads onto both of them through API adapters.

The screenshot doesn’t show any version change to signal - the version number is the same, so I was just answering why you might see an update like that since I thought that was part of your question.

Those might be flatpak “refreshes”, which show up as “updating to the same version”. As described by a flatpak maintainer, sometimes an app or runtime gets updated without changing the user-facing version number. I assume that’s what you’re seeing here.

It syncs your photos so typically your photos will be both backed up to your cloud and on your device. Photos in the app show an icon depending on whether it’s local only (hasn’t been backed up yet) or on both cloud and local, or cloud only (if you deleted the local copy). There will eventually be a feature that allows you to bulk delete all local copies of photos that are backed up (similar to Google photos app’s free up space feature) but for now photos will keep a local copy unless you select the specific photo and delete the local copy.

Since photos and videos are often local + cloud, that means if you open a photo in the immich gallery which has been cloud synced but still available locally, sharing to another app will use the local copy. Otherwise it will download the photo before sharing to the other app. So it’s pretty seamless in that way.

Like others suggested, immich might be able to solve the use case - it just means you have to sync your photos to immich for the server to index the photos. Then in the app you can search for any recognized objects / locations / etc so from your phone it works about the same as Google photos search. Like I can search beach or cat or whatever from my phone and find all of those photos, and it’s private since it’s self hosted.

I run immich on my nas so it does both photo backup and provides a nice high performance searchable app / web UI to browse and organize photos into albums. It also does private face recognition and tags people, which are searchable too (the most recent app update actually just brought advanced search to the mobile app) so you can select john doe under the people filters and search fish and up comes only pictures of john showing off fish he caught.

Did you make sure to stop network manager too? I think disabling it tells it not to start it automatically but I think if it was already running it may have stayed up and maybe it brought the interface back up.

That’s my only guess, if ip link shows it as down still then idk. NetworkManager also has its own Mac spoofing thing so you might have better success editing the properties of the network connection in NetworkManager and putting a new Mac in the cloned Mac address field. I’ve only used macchanger with netctl.
