I just ran an import of only a dozen photos and it did go up to 2.3GB usage. I knew containers were more lightweight but I didn’t think a VM could get that bad. Hopefully it’s reporting a sum of virtual or assigned memory space and isn’t actually hogging that much in physical ram.

7GB for immich is wild, my instance with 2TB of photos is currently using 811MB of RAM. What’s eating it all?

I personally prefer smaller setups, but SilverStone make very high quality though expensive cases that bridge the gap between server/workstation. Have a look at their CS383 or SETA H2

Also jonsbo have the N5

Every once in a while a security researcher will highlight a new method for obtaining the key from the TPM, usually by tapping into the I2C comms between it and the CPU. They’ll say it’s ‘trvial’ and can be done ‘in seconds’, but that’s only after a lot of work figuring out that particular motherboard.

A few months ago there was yellowkey that just needed a special file on a USB drive to bypass bitlocker, making it so easy that it was arguably a backdoor.

Depending on how the cables have been put in, it can be fairly easy to replace an existing run by tying the new cable to the old one and pulling it through.
