  • I’m sorry, but since we’re being pedantic, this is not a proof. It’s full of assumptions, some of which are wrong.

    5% is clearly better than 100%

    Never denied it. 0% is even better. What matters is where it’s used. If it’s used for FFI, that’s understandable. Any other use should be scrutinized more. And that’s the issue. The claim of Zig’s creator is that the devs of Bun are not reliable. And to me at least, his arguments make sense.

    it’s usual for Rust projects to use at least some unsafe

    Doesn’t seem like it. This article claims that only about 20% of Rust crates use unsafe at all. Even among those, the vast majority use it for FFI, which is kinda unavoidable.

    but somehow 5% isn’t

    Again, no one claimed that. But we need more than “better than 100%” when it’s a JS runtime. And the "better"ness isn’t necessarily linear. So, even though it might be technically “better”, it might not be by much. At that point, what even is the point of the rewrite?

    Again, I’m not claiming that it’s actually badly written. I’m only claiming that your arguments are not adequate, and that Bun is not a reliable company, so take whatever they claim with a grain of salt.








  • I love the rolling release model, and the AUR. (I even maintain some packages on AUR.) I have installed and used pure Arch in the past, if only for the rite of passage.

    But nowadays I mostly use EndeavourOS. It’s basically Arch once it’s installed, but has a nice and fast installer, with great defaults. Also, the community is awesome. I rarely need any help anymore, but I still like hanging out in their forums helping others, and generally chatting about non-Linux stuff.











  • Thanks for your feedback.

    You just need an Immich API key, and run it from any machine from where you can reach your Immich instance. It does everything using the Immich API, so only a key with the proper permissions is needed. (I’ll add what the minimum required permissions are in the README.)

    Also, if you want to do it for many users, you don’t need them to run it on individual machines/accounts. You can create multiple config files, each with that user’s key, and pass it to the script via the --config flag.

    If running it for multiple users is a thing that people are interested in, I can add a way to supply an array of options in the config file, each belonging to one user.
