I published my project on GitHub here: https://github.com/donnchawp/immich-shared-library
It runs alongside Immich, inserting records in the target account when it sees new images. 🙂

I have 6-7 terminals opened locally at all times, mostly on specific directories, ready to run git commands or edit text files. I’m not sure if I’ll have any benefit for this use case. But I can give it a try for educational purposes. Thanks for the recommendation!

Project Review — DMS64

Blocker

dmswriter crashes after writing the final file (m.dms) — dmswriter.bas:350

After writing m.dms (na=12), na increments to 13 and line 350 unconditionally jumps back to line 150, which tries to LOAD
n.dms — a file that doesn’t exist. The program crashes with FILE NOT FOUND instead of printing “finished!”. The guard at
line 255 (if na=13 then goto 280) is dead code — it’s inside the per-sector loop where na is still 12.

Fix: check na at line 350 before looping back.

Warnings

SAVE end address off by one — dmsreader.asm:39

LDX #$01 should be LDX #$00. Each DMS file gets one trailing garbage byte. Benign on restore (writer ignores it), but
files are structurally malformed.

Makefile %.d64 rule has undeclared prerequisites — Makefile:16

The pattern rule only declares dmsreader.{bin,prg} as prereqs but the recipe also needs dmswriter.{bin,prg}. Parallel
builds can fail. Should be an explicit rule with all four files as prerequisites.

Suggestions

SAVE errors silently swallowed — dmsreader.asm:43-47

The .error branch returns identically to the success path. If the destination disk is full or files already exist, the
BASIC caller has no way to detect failure.

STA $FF is dead code — dmsreader.asm:62, dmswriter.asm:32

Both init routines write to $FF but nothing ever reads it.

I fed it the C64 programmer’s reference guide, got it to summarise the bits it needed.

It’s worth it. I only really used screen remotely, but that’s still every day. Now I’m using Zellij locally and I like it.

So, I’m working on a project that will copy the face detection and machine learning data over. It works on a test server but I want to try it on my own server before making it public.
100% by Claude Code. I could have coded it myself but it works have taken me weeks to do what it did in a few hours this evening.

Wow, I’d quite forgotten about this. I haven’t had to edit an online JS script since then. Lucky me. 🙂

Yes, you have to edit the file in Vim or another external text editor. Reloading the page brings in the changes.

Thanks for the link to that Reddit thread though – a nice list of alternatives. I must test out some of those. I wonder if Obsidian would make a good alternative to Standard Notes for me. I’ll test it out.

Hi Jim. 🙂
