I didn’t realize HDDs are taking a hit now… I’m moving overseas and opted to move my sever with me instead of rebuilding since ram alone is close to 1k now. I didn’t price HDDs at the time cause they are only 4 years old… Sure hope they hold on for another few years…

I’ve found setting an unrealistic goal (retirement at 45) but realistic goals that lead up to the unrealistic one so that accomplishments are made. Humans get a dopamine hit when we “check a box” or complete a task. Lean into that a bit with things you do. Small things help towards the efforts of larger things.

Other than that, escapism through keeping myself busy too.

Agreed. This is legit so cool, but I just don’t have a use for it myself.

Immich is set up because I really like the image processing for things like seeing a timeline of my son’s pictures as he grows up. Pretty nifty addon to all that.
