How fast are Backblaze transfer speeds these days? I wasn't a huge fan of the client, but running something third party like Arq[1] felt like a bad workaround. [1]: https://www.arqbackup.com
And people laugh when they hear about my USB HDD docking station and a fleet of 3.5" HDDs backup setup....
3.5" HDDs? Aww, I got all excited because I read that as 3.5" FDDs, and got nostalgic for the noise... and installing Windows from like twelve of the bastards.
Anyone have a good iCloud backup option? I finally "gave in" and stopped manually pulling photos off my iOS devices and subscribed to iCloud. However I'm worried I'll get screwed or mistakenly delete something.
This is just a reminder to take a backup of your cloud photos and store it locally (or other cloud provider). For example, with Google Takeout you can get a ZIP file with all your photos and videos from Google Photos.
That makes no sense. If you have backups locally, why store them on the cloud?
I don't know if it's due to one of those weird GDPR blocking rules (I'm in Europe) but amazonforum.com doesn't let me connect. It just drops my connection: http https://www.amazonforum.com http: LogLevel.ERROR: ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.amazonforum.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by NewConnectionError(' : Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 61] Connection refuse…
Had a similar problem but it's because Pihole is resolving the domain to 0.0.0.0 here. Through one of my servers in France it seems to work just fine.

Except for it's horrible face recognition right?.. ugh.
Latest release failed the tests (with some memory corruption yikes) even. Doesn't inspire a lot of confidence that it won't eat your photos. But the v7 uses DNN from OpenCV for face detection that supposedly has 91% accuracy on CPLFW which is pretty good! So how come people here say it sucks?
It literally only has been 1 hour since OP posted that thread. I agree with all the points about having backups and/or using better service/self host etc., but IMO it's too early to conclude anything about this incident.
So they might still get their photos back. 240,364 photos is a lot, and none are replaceable. It’s still a lot of stress.

I own a Synology NAS, and now believe that it would have been easier to just set up a computer for the tasks I use it for. There are just too many cases where the solution is to use a container (and the clumsy web interfaces for reverse proxying &c), and if I end up SSHing into it too much, I prefer to have a more controllable environment. It does fit some workflows very well though, you just have to assess if your n…
Synology has an app which will automatically back up your photos to the NAS/server (only when on WiFi). I haven't been able to find an alternative to this on Android, have you? (photosync looks good but seems to only work for iOS last I checked).
Nevertheless, Nextcloud keeps offering to sync my photos, and I think it also does that on Android.

FOSS photo software with face recognition (note that some of this is off-premise face recognition, sometimes requiring an API key you get on your own) https://damselfly.info https://github.com/LibrePhotos/librephotos https://photoview.github.io/ I may have missed some: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#pho...
What I found in my previous search is that either they're really good at managing large collections of photos, or they're really good at doing various AI/recognition, but none of what I've found have been good at both. Hence my interest in DigiKam as their management features for large collections is second to none.
