  • That's not a caveat, as you should be making your own backups of your photos no matter where they're located.

    As an example, this man who lost all his photos because Google closed the account for an invalid reason, with no recourse.

    For something irreplaceable like photos, you should take your own backup no matter where they are. If you're not already doing this - have a good think about how painful it would be to lose all your photos, even if the perceived risk is low.

    This doesn't apply to just Google Photos of course. Any cloud provider has the possibility of losing your data or locking you out of your account. Even if the risk is low, do you want to roll those dice?

    Used them for years, perfect IMO. Comes with the full *arr stack and everything you need.

    Hosted in Netherlands. As you mentioned Singapore you might be talking about the same company, but my understanding from their Discord is that the beneficial owners are in Netherlands, EU, and the main hosting location is also in the Netherlands. Most likely they are incorporated in Singapore for tax benefits and legal protection.

  • Always better to self-host photos if you can, rather than need to migrate them again in the future when wherever cloud service inevitably shuts down or enshitifies.

    I'm hosting 500k photos with Immich, and the search capability is leagues better than Google Photos.

  • Such a weird argument that you've responding to, as the answer (as you provided) is so easy and well known.

  • Henson

    Seconding Henson (Canadian). I have the titanium one, and god damn it might be the perfect razor. I cannot fault it.

  • Move your stuff from Gandi to Netim.com

    Gandi got acquired and has done some very weird shit with pricing.

  • Yes I use KeePassXC, also from flathub.

  • Strange - I'm on Fedora Wayland using the flatpak version without any issues.

  • So what does immutable mean?

    The easiest explanation is: You can't screw it up :)

    That's the reason I use it. It means that the system areas are read-only, and as a user you can't "wreck" anything by mistake.

  • Try Bazzite:

    https://bazzite.gg/

    It will give you an experience that's familiar compared to the Steam Deck, and everything will "just work" out of the box.

    It already has Steam installed and is a great desktop for general use.

  • To answer your other question, actively using and maintaining my PIM since 2009.

  • I like Silverbullet, but I could never get the file tree to work well. Any tips? Or is that not a feature you use?

  • I moved all my cloud computing from DO and Vultr to European owned options. It's a small thing, but it's about the only thing that I had been purchasing from the USA.

  • Sounds like someone who is sensibly voting with their dollar. I'm not from USA or Canada, and I am doing the same.

  • It's pretty identical there champ.

  • One of the benefits of Obsidian is that it stores its data in a format where you CAN use cli tools and python etc. That's one of the reasons I'm using it myself.

  • It's a different thing. What Obsidian and Logseq offer is plain-text markdown files in folders on your disk. Upnote and most of the other alternatives mentioned in this post store their data in a database.

    Different thing altogether. Just depends what you're looking for.
