The person who released them journalists Daphne Caruana Galizia in 2017 and Ján Kuciak in 2018 due to their investigations  ended up being assassinated

Windows 95, directly on the Internet just for the hell of it

Cool, I have a degree and multiple technology certifications. Happy to help people with tech that pulls them out of oligarchs fiefdoms.

Location?

Depends, if you’re ok exposing an open port to the Internet then its not tricky at all, assuming you know how to port forward and are not double natted. They warn you to not do this though. I second that warning.

This page explains the 3 main options https://docs.immich.app/guides/remote-access/

Ideally you’d just do a reverse proxy, which is the most complex option. Tasks include getting a host, cert, and setting it up.

I went with tail scale, it was easy but requires an additional client component on every device and one in the server.

If you’re just interested in the synch part, I’ve been using it without any issues for several months. Worked in a pixel 6a, upgraded to a pixel 8 pro and continued right where I left off

Happy to share my experience. Pros: capable replacement for Google photos, Face recognition, location map, etc Support for albums and sharing. Support for reading folders from local network

Roll the dice on these, YMMV ( there are not really cons to me but I work in tech and deal with far worse things)

Actively being developed. Good- things are fixed, new features added. Bad, have to update the server regularly , multiple times some weeks.

Cost: free. You get what you pay for. There’s a donation cost, and I’ve been meaning to do that, but for free you may not get the help like for something you pay for. They do have an active community on Discord, so there’s that.

Editing in mobile client only.

Exposing to the Internet seems a bit tricky if you plan on doing it right ( securely) but you can use tail scale for external access, works fine.

I’ve been happy enough with it to turn off my google photo backup . Oh they do warn you to not to use this as your main backup since it’s under active development. Something what to consider. Hope this helps, happy to answer questions

Edit: cleaned up grammar for clarity

Project manager: at least I can blame the vendor

Sniffing his own farts again I see

No please, don’t leave those of us that are rational in here around with the nut jobs. We’re trying to correct course but these people are nuts

Not sure if he lives there ( he lives in a “Tenderloin” apartment whatever that this) or not. Sounds like he attends hackathons and works on contracts from companies to do projects that “would take weeks” for engineering teams to complete. He supposedly completed them in hours. I do wonder if they review “his code” or not though.

Yes but can it tell the business why it can’t deliver on time with they change the requirements 3 different times?

I think you got the wrong year there on the first one

Are they allowed on Lemmy? Partially sarcastic

But it’s a bitch to strap them on a coyote and get it go where you want it to go. Oh coyote as in a smuggler not the 4 legged canine type
