Honestly I’m done with Google Photos, I mean I get that it was free and that I shouldn’t complain about that, but I already pay with my privacy, so why pay money and have my data abused everywhere I go?

I now have a home server (second hand mac mini m2) with PhotoPrism installed

I hate that kind of stuff, when I see this I wonder if they hash the password at all

I’ve tried them a long time ago, before moving to another OS because they had some features that VanillaOS was still developing. I’m going to give it another shot now that the stable v2 is out!

Found it! This was the irl pic we had it based on. The artist made it quite different but we felt it had the same vibe, so we kept it as it was!

Thanks! I dont know how I can upload the pic it was based on, but it was of us in the forest, similar place to the art

Very interesting read, it showcases how big tech can grow more aware of the “threat” of the Fediverse and how they might act.

UPDATE: Those rumours have been confirmed as at least one Mastodon admin, kev, from fosstodon.org, has been contacted to take part in an off-the-record meeting with Meta. He had the best possible reaction: he refused politely and, most importantly, published the email to be transparent with its users. Thanks kev!

What a hero, whoever you are!

Finally someone that get’s it

Nice, cool to see more people have an arm Lemmy instance

Yeah makes sense! It probably doesn’t although I have no benchmarks to prove it, it just is enough for me. I know this much though: even if the x86 server had the same specs (ram, GHz) as the arm version it likely still draws more power

The server was a second hand server that has 32GB RAM and 2 i7 CPU’s, it was made in 2015 so quite old. The Odroid has only 8GB of RAM but for my purposes that’s enough, and given the power it saves it’s absolutely a bargain!

If I ever need this much memory again I can just temporarily spin up something more powerful, for all other 24/7 tasks I can keep up the efficient ARM server.
