Google photos on ios is literally a hostage situation. Remove key functionalities like copying an image or editing an image unless you give them full unrestricted access to your entire photo library. (The holy grail of surveillance capitalism data). Data extortion masquerading as a service.

I've just set up a self hosted server, with lots of useful Docker containers. Any suggestions for a good image host? I saw immich, and it sounds tempting, any thoughts?

Who do you think you are ? You're just extension of their machine. It's their photos.

And their cameras. I can't even use my nest camera anymore. Because once Google took over they requested 24/7 access to my living room camera. That's an absurd ask. Not while it's on, but 24/7. Fuck you Google. Keep your grimey paws off my data

Am now shopping for home camera system with external hard drive
