Is it possible to use this import tool for my own local files without an Ente subscription? Because I have that metadata issue with Google Photos, but unfortunately I don't have the programming skills to write a script.
Not right now, sorry! There's this tool that can fix capture times: https://github.com/mattwilson1024/google-photos-exif There are perhaps more that I'm unaware of.
I guess it's a good thing Ente might become a viable self-hosted option in the future. I haven't tried the hosted service, but a metadata export guarantee could be huge in attracting paying users for which this is a concern.

The sad thing about seeing new hosted photo services (like what we see when we click into the linked Ente site) is how I think they'll eventually fail the same way Picturelife did [1], or how they'll eventually get acquired, and their services/features nerfed by the whims of their new overlord. I guess it's a good thing Ente might become a viable self-hosted option in the future. I haven't tried the hosted service, b…
That said, I understand your concern.
Open-sourcing the server was a step towards ensuring posterity. Pricing ourself sustainably from day #1 was another. We'll have to do a lot more work on this front over the next few decades and eventually find someone aligned with our ethos to pass the baton to.
I find this to be a very interesting problem to work on :)

Question: Do you backup changed photos in iOS? How do you backup a slow motion video on iOS? Synology exports, meaning your 240fps video becomes a 30fps video. Immich retains the 240fps.
Yes, we do backup updated photos. Just tested out a slow-motion video on iOS, we unfortunately don't retain the transformation. On the brighter side of things, it's just a transformation. We are retaining the original file as is. So will look into how Immich is handling this format. Thanks for bringing this up!
How it's played is not a concern of the backup tool. It is a concern of the player.
Synology exports. So I record something at 240fps, and then the file uploaded is 30fps. That's not a backup.
It's like when you backup a photoshop PSD. You want a backup of the PSD, not a flattened PNG.

Oh no. If you keep the 240fps video, that is what a backup is. Which is what I want. How it's played is not a concern of the backup tool. It is a concern of the player. Synology exports.

Hey, Ente's CEO here. We had opensourced our server[1] yesterday, which is perhaps why we are on the front page. Stoked to be here Ente had launched on HN[2] a while ago and has been sustainably growing since. We took the feedback from our Show HN seriously and have since - undergone a cryptography audit [3] - published our replication strategy [4] - added requested features (family plans, collaborative albums and li…
See also: the directory https://github.com/relink2013/Awesome-Self-hosting-for-the-w..., that collects "self-hostable services with native mobile app clients." This project should be on there! (Right now, the only entries in the Photos category are two [closed-source!] Synology offerings, and one other app that's not E2E-encrypted. You're better than these — go claim your crown.)

To double check, I just recorded a slow-motion video, downloaded it from Ente to my desktop, ran `ffmpeg -i FILE.MOV`, and the stream info says: ``` Stream #0:0[0x1](und): Video: hevc (Main) (hvc1 / 0x31637668), yuv420p(tv, bt709), 1920x1080, 78644 kb/s, 239.70 fps, 240 tbr, 2400 tbn (default) ```
I think it would be cool for the player to recognize a 240fps video and allow it to play slow mo. But again, that's a client responsibly.

Or add to your collection. Depends on how many people you are who use the same NAS and how many photos you take. Sure, if you upload 10 photos a week and never do any other reads, go with a SSD for all I care, it'll last long enough.
If you don't move or delete old photos, all new photos will be written to a new cell. The writes add up for cells, not for the whole SSD...
Ente Auth https://auth.ente.io/ was my go to choice for migrating from Authy. It supports importing and exporting (so no dead end unlike Authy) and I can see the second factor on my desktop without reaching my phone (through Ente Auth website). I've exported from a rooted phone from Authy->Aegis->Ente Auth. I have no need for their main product but they are building amazing software!
oooh this is interesting - I'd like to self host this...
I don't really get the business model. An open source stack makes sense for products targeted towards programmers. Out of curiosity I checked Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/plans/storage 9 USD per month gives you 2TB storage (vs. 500GB here) I don't really get what justifies the 4x price (some of the features look like what you can get from a Gallery app like Aves) So it's looking kinda DOA to me. The intersection…
This seems like a lack of imagination, which is not to be confused with any deficiency of the software or its business model. As for me, I think this completely rules.
