#32I have not found a good option yet, but next on my list is: https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism
Doesn't look like it's available as a paid service, unfortunately.

The phone, but only when you have iCloud photos enabled and only when you live in the US

#35This was on Ars Technica really recently. I have not used it myself yet: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/08/foss-mobile-app-stin...
I gave Stingle a cursory try, but I was immediately put off by the fact that it was not even able to retrieve EXIF data from images and use that a basis for sorting. The handful of images I uploaded as a test we're all dated to the date I uploaded them as opposed to when they were actually taken, and there was no way to change that either. There was also no way to view the EXIF data as well.

#37I would be classified as a pedo if my pictures were on iCloud... even if some of the naked kid is me... I also have pictures of my kids playing in the bath.

Fortunately that’s not how it works. You would have to have a whole collection of known and identified CSAM to be classified as anything at all with the system Apple has announced.

No? The scanner only checks for matches against images in NCMEC's database, so you can take as many pictures of your kids as you want, it won't trip the scanner.

#40Earlier quoted context omitted.
It does. However people have a greater expectation of privacy on a device they own than on a cloud-based solution where they have voluntarily uploaded content.
Good thing the device only does this as part of voluntarily uploading the photo to a cloud based solution.
