ecrevisseLiteral Hostage Situation
Why even install this crap?!
cRazi_manPeople don’t know. Researching good image backup/sharing options is beyond most normies. Privacy invasion isn’t even a known problem for them to care about.
My parents certainly won’t be able to comprehend this. My brothers are tech savvy, and it’s taken years for them to come onboard with self hosting since I’ve started advocating it (one still can’t because his wife finds it difficult to move away from Google photos).
What other option is there for automatic backups, image editing and touchups, and index and searching for photos?
I’m currently in the process of learning to set up Immich on a home server. That will take care of automatic backup and indexing and searching.
For touchups, I do that on device with an image editing app it needed. Although I never need to edit really.
By indexing is that by fine name and meta data or does it do face and location matching like Google. I know I’m moving goalposts but that’s the real killer feature IMO.
It’s many to have facial recognition, etc with a locally run AI
Interesting I’ll check it out.
