People keep forgetting that “the cloud” is just someone else’s computer. You don’t want to pay for in-house experts to support your IT infrastructure? Welp, being locked out by a vendor is a side effect of that.

Bookmarked to read later. Lots of interesting stuff that I’ve heard before (Tailscale, local auth, etc.) that I really need to consider for my own homelab.

Can the rest of us get frozen in carbonite or take a trip forward in a TARDIS to where this has already happened?

Good to know we can all now pirate ALL of Meta’s shit under the fair use excuse and they won’t mind. Right?

FYI, Immich doesn’t do encryption either.

It’s 7-D chess. He wants to use x-Twitter as a tax wire-off.

You can’t 3D print a gun, but you can buy one without a background check. Brilliant.

Never stopped them before from still passing half-assed laws.

Someone tell those scientists that Season 2 of Last of Us is coming soon.

Isn’t this getting blocked in 24H2?

Didn’t they block the Shift-F10 workaround in 24H2?

What’s the alternative? Buying Chromebooks and creating a generation of Google drones?

Those videos were not anti-FOSS. It was an honest look into the state of gaming on Linux that even the experts begrudgingly agreed with. If you listen to Linus’ personal views on Linux, he’s rooting for an alternative to Windows and Mac.

AGPL, self-hosted, high feature parity with GPhotos. https://github.com/immich-app/immich/

SpaceInvader One channel on YT has several guides on installing the server on UnRaid and migrating your photo library from Google Photos. https://youtu.be/krAZcUIP3YE and https://youtu.be/LtNWxxM5Mzg

Louis Rossmann recently brought a lot of attention to it by offering the developers a grant via his FUTO org. https://youtu.be/uyTPqxgqgjU

Immich has excellent face detection, as well as search capabilities built-in that can be assisted with locally or remote run ML. https://immich.app/docs/guides/remote-machine-learning/

I’ve been running it for a couple of months. It’s under active development, but I personally feel that it’s stable and at a good enough place to be a full replacement of Google Photos. In fact, I turned off all uploads to Google in their Photos app, and rely on Immich auto-uploading to my server instead. Of course that means having a robust (preferably off-site) backup and disaster recovery plan.

Oh absolutely, it’s just an ad for Proton products. That doesn’t make the point about degoogling any less relevant.

What are the alternatives though? Self-hosting an email server is practically impossible because spam detection will block you on every turn.

I also choose this guy’s dead wife.

You had me in the first half.

I remember a while ago Motorola (before Google acquisition) came out with a phone that had a nearly indestructible screen. in the video they were throwing it off a roof, hitting it with a hammer, crushing it with a car, and all it had was a couple of dings. Haven’t heard a peep since then. What happened to that technology?

Also Samsung Note 7 was da bomb!
