I've just set up a self hosted server, with lots of useful Docker containers. Any suggestions for a good image host? I saw immich, and it sounds tempting, any thoughts?
Who do you think you are ? You're just extension of their machine. It's their photos.
And their cameras. I can't even use my nest camera anymore. Because once Google took over they requested 24/7 access to my living room camera. That's an absurd ask. Not while it's on, but 24/7. Fuck you Google. Keep your grimey paws off my data
Am now shopping for home camera system with external hard drive
I had this back in the day. No phone app. Just browser. Also there is a limit on how many photos it'ss displayed at one time.
I switched to Xpenology. Not sure if it's still the same issues.
Google photos masquerading as service.
There, FTFY 🤌🏼
People need to get their heads out of the idea that privacy is any kind of rule. It isn't. It's an exception. Unless you personally use a private dns server, unless you personally use a VPN, encrypt your files, use custom roms and open software for interacting with the internet, then you should assume that you're just an open book.
~~How could they steal and sell my data!?~~
OF COURSE, they'd steal and sell my data!
Careful, tho. You get hardcore into privacy and security and you'll basically have a side-gig of constantly checking for leaks and reading product reviews for "linux support".
At this point, any time I get downvotes for privacy and security discussions, I'm just going to chock it up to how the willfully ignorant cope with reality.
Google and Apple, every company and government that can, spies on you. Telling them no is not taken seriously. This isn't some kind of slightly unbelievable truth, it's just the way shit is, and has been for over a decade. If you're pissed off about it, do some work on yourself. You're a hypocrite if you're participating in foss, vpn and self governance discussions but scoff at folks like me like we're wearing tinfoil hats. You leave a breadcrumb trail everywhere you go. Believe it or don't.
