Wouldn’t put it past them as the Retroarch lead devs have done shit like that before.

Do you have examples? I usually stay out of dev drama as well but I just started using Retroarch and I’m curious. I also don’t want to support people that abuse the community, so I’d like to be informed.

There’s a lot of comments talking about used and refurbs. I personally use these types to get good deals but I also have a reasonably robust backup protocol. Not a full 321 backup but an appropriate level of risk for my needs.

My point being, if you go that route, they’re cheaper but the odds that one dies on you might be higher. Make sure you manage your backup strategy to a risk value you’re comfortable with.

That said, I’ve also had great experiences with serverpartdeals. I’ve also used diskprices.com to find deals.

Things to consider are noise, temps, power-on time, etc. For myself, temps are fairly consistent in my case and it’s in a closet so I don’t care about noise. I also don’t need particularly fast access on the HDDs (I use an nvme cache strategy as well) so I can pretty much use whatever. Your needs might differ.

Immich will be funded by an optional purchase in the near future. Since I can’t find anything else, my best guess is some portion of that goes to FUTO. But it is just a guess. I also couldn’t find any specifics on FUTO’s funding.

I’ve never heard of FUTO before and it sounds a little too good to be true. It looks like they have made some grants to other big projects. I like what they’re saying to the point that it seems too good to be true.

Does anyone know if this is a legit organization and if it has staying power?

Either way getting further progress on Immich, hopefully moving towards real stability, is very exciting!

Nice very solid answer. I didn’t understand it was a replacement OS. Do you have a browser?

I’d love an e-reader with a browser. Nothing fancy, just something for looking up lore or related topics while reading.

So the obvious question, how does this compare to KOReader? That’s had a long, stable life and, at first glance, seems to have the same goals. I didn’t see any kind of acknowledgement or comparison in the wiki.
