Ente - Open sourcing our server
I’m unsure about the end-to-end encryption aspect. While this feature is great for a cloud service like ente.io, it doesn’t really help much in a selfhosted scenario - and might make backups more complicated. Any other opinions on this?
Would probably be trivial for a local authority to hack your server and collect the necessary info that way.
I mean that’s the main reason I self-host anyway.
Remotely hacking into my server is probably harder than just walking into my home with a warrant and confiscate everything.
Do you want your ISP to be able to spy on your private pictures when uploading them to your self-hosted server? End-to-end encryption is a no-brainer every time you transmit private data online
Their model is that the server doesn’t know what the pictures are.
Which is fine. It’s cool that it exists as an option, especially with someone else hosting your pictures. But it’s not for me. I want my server to see my pictures so it can play with them.
so it can play with them
