We've tried all of them. Read a history book already!

To be fair, any app written entirely by (human) vendor companies also works like that

Yeah initial setup requires their app (once).

But you can use their app without creating an account, which is such a breath of fresh air compared to everyone else.

Offers all the features Google/Amazon do, but without the subscriptions.

Plus they joined the open home foundation, so they're unlikely to enshitify.

I'm pleasantly surprised that it takes two did so well. I hope it shows publishers that there's a market for couch co-op!

People forget the left sensationalizes things as much as the right does.

A lot of them show datacenter energy use for AI without comparing them to other other workloads. If you're worried about datacenter energy use, I sure hope you don't download any apps or steam any music/video.

Mine does that when she's fully fed...

What is that? I don't think I've seen whatever that show is and now I'm intrigued

Don't forget "reversing the polarity"

Ummm... maybe some more context is needed? That makes no sense

There are a lot of programs that try to detect VMs and other unverified environments (e.g. Google's safety net) to deter bots and fraud.

Buying physical devices circumvents all that

ngrok isn’t just for development.

That's news to me lol. I've personally only used them for development so I can't tell you how good they are for running production services.

I just looked at their pricing page and it looks like the Free and Hobbyist only include 1GB and 5GB of data, respectively. I've never actually measured my data usage because Cloudflare gives unlimited data, but I suspect that's nowhere near enough for a photo sharing app like Immich.
