One of us is missing something. I can literally add a new event from that screen:

You can set up a pfsense router behind your other router and install stuff on pfsense, including adblockers, dns, etc.

Basically you’ll go into your Comcast router, set up a static IP to be in the DMZ, and have that IP designated to the MAC address of your pfsense box.

There may be more to it as I haven’t messed with my routers in quite a while. I’m sure someone will correct me 😂

PDFgear, does all the things to PDFs and it’s free.

I don’t know too much about snap (I literally haven’t had to touch my immich setup) but as far as I remember when I set it up that was snap’s whole thing - it maintains and updates itself with minimal administrative oversight.

I’ve had immich running in a VM as a snap distribution for almost a year now and the experience has been leaps and bounds easier than maintaining my own immich docker container. There have been so many breaking changes over the few years I’ve used it that it was just a headache. This snap version has been 100% hands off “it just works”.
