I'm aparently boring. My "backup routine" consists of storing photos in iCloud, which is then syncronized "real time" to a local Mac Mini. From the Mac Mini i then run scheduled backups to a local external harddrive, as well as a local Raspberry Pi running Minio, and nightly to OneDrive. The external harddrive backup uses Timemachine, the raspberry pi backup uses Kopia, and OneDrive is done with Arq. Furthermore, i m…
but WHY? why do you go to such lengths?

Syncthing + Tailscale. I have it set to only accept syncs from the tailscale addresses. I use this to do voice recordings that fairly quickly sync home for records of conversations. I'm unclear if Syncthing inherently encrypts transfers, but layering it within Tailscale would add that. No?
https://docs.syncthing.net/users/security.html#security-prin... : > All device to device traffic is protected by TLS. To prevent uninvited devices from joining a cluster, the certificate fingerprint of each device is compared to a preset list of acceptable devices at connection establishment. So yeah, transport is encrypted. I do believe they need to put that fact front and center, though. It took me a few minutes to…
I can rest easy :)
Can someone give me recommendation? I'm using Samsung Galaxy phone, photos auto sync to nextcloud... but I DO NOT WANT EVERY SINGLE PHOTO TO BE SYNCED. I'd rather tap "favorite" that would somehow put that photo in an album/path that gets synced/backed-up. Does anyone have a solution? That is, I want a single tap on photo that I consider worth backing up. Or it can work other way around - single tap to exclude from s…
Can't you set your client to sync a specific folder and simply relocate the things you want synced to said folder?
But I do not want every photo land there. Pics that I need to take temporary when I just take a photo of something to lookup one time (wiring colors before disconnecting, a photo I want to show single time for my wife etc.)
Ideally there would be app that would take whatever is marked as favorite (dunno, maybe metadata stores that info) and move those pics.
OR someone can just recommend some photo app which with a single click moves photo to folder X :)

Picasa could do that too 2014, single threaded. (And is probably still better)
It does feel like we keep going backwards for functionality while resource requirements keep increasing. Picasa had face recognition, basic editing, and a bunch of sorting features and ran on computers that had something like 1/50th the CPU performance. Meanwhile modern replacements like DigiKam, Lightroom, ON1, and so on are incredibly bloated with very slow UI response even on a very powerful desktop PC. Although I…

Personally I keep the last 365 days in my Google Photos Everything else is in Immich Pictures and videos I take get backed up to Google Photos Once a year I do a Google Takeout and import into Immich This way I get the best of both worlds
how do you get the photos out of Google Photos (and delete them from there I assume?)? I started on a CLI that could track photos across different accounts and make it easy to move then between them i.e. from GP to s3 or to a local drive etc. Was going to include duplicate detection. But if there is already another tool...?

I found that SyncThing is not a great solution for the "mobile photo reel" use case. I want my entire photo collection to be easily searchable & accessible from my mobile device, but I don't need a complete copy of my photo reel to be saved to my device. I want to be able to delete things from my phone to free up space, but I want them to still exist in my photo collection that is backed up to the cloud.
> but I don't need a complete copy of my photo reel to be saved to my device this resonates with me. what solution are you using?

Apple provides access to photos just fine, using a different API. Having a separate API for photo access is annoying while developing this use case, but it's appropriate for a couple different reasons: for one, if apps could access the raw files, that could reveal metadata like location. For another, filesystem access wouldn't properly handle cloud-synced photo libraries. Perhaps photos on iOS are persisted into some…
This should be the user's choice, not Apple's. Explain the security tradeoffs then let me do what I want with my device.

>If you are taking a couple of pictures a day, you only need to run this service for a couple of minutes per day, the rest is wasted. You can configure your server to sleep (scheduled or use WoL), which will halve (or more) that carbon emission number. Speaking of which, individual action will never approach the level that corporate action could. Take a look at the practice of gas flaring (2022 estimate of ~357 milli…
I don't understand how or why this defeatist, nihilistic attitude is growing in popularity. Do people just lack the self awareness to realize their inaction is tantamount to malice?
