I self-host only private stuff, so there was never a need for anything like cloudflare.

It is fundamentally built around the files being decrypted in RAM, for all the search features. You can use an encrypted partition for storing the photos and DB, to avoid having plaintext files on disk.

Also, if it turns out that immich misses too many faces, or has too many false positives, or creates too many different persons for one face, or groups different persons together, you can tune that. You can set the threshold values for all these things, or just use a different ML model and reanalyse your whole library. Even on an older CPU without any special ML features, it takes less than a night to reanalyse a hundred thousand pictures or so.

Certainly, especially because of the search features, social features and the ability to organise your photos, and the nice looking user interface.

I did the same after they revamped the backup functionality in the app, and it now finally seems to be trustworthy enough as my main method to get my pictures from my phone into the cloud. Could finally cancel my Google subscription as well.

Sheeple!

The galaxy is a sphere!

People age 70 and up are not allowed to self-host, I see.

I really like where immich is headed. Bought a license last week and finally deleted Google Photos.

Makes sense. Albeit I find the idea of someone holding a tape measure more funny.

How did they measure “penile circumference” over time? Is there a guy standing next to them with a tape measure?

It’s missing the fact that the nix store can be huge, even if garbage collected regularly. This prevents me from using nix on my Ubuntu laptop with limited HDD space.

But then I’d have to combine that with existing services myself. NixOS ensures that there is only one postgres running for example, such that not every service starts its own postgres instance.

For immich, for example the following is enough for a most basic configuration:

services.immich.enable = true;
services.immich.port = 2283;

This looks amazing, and I will try it out once it has reasonable NixOS support.

I especially like the immich integration.

Does it increase battery consumption of the phone a lot?

I think they look more like a bunch of thugs than normal people.

It’s a carpet store. That’s gotta be the most rainbow carpet they’ve got.
