I haven’t used it much if at all in the past year, but I finally took the last step and deleted it! Sorry if this is low effort I just don’t have anyone I know to share it with.

    Is there a viable Photos alternative? I was thinking of setting up a NAS on my RPi but it would need to be for other family members too.

      I use immich personally, super easy to use and very fast, even on the shitty old laptop I use.

      Edit: the shitty old laptop is hosting the server

      Ente it you’re looking for a paid service. (For me, photos are too important to self-host.) They’re end-to-end encrypted and both server and clients are open source.

        too important to self-host

        For me it’s the other way round. My photos are too important to trust any corporation - no matter how trustworthy they say they are.

            No I follow the 3-2-1 rule which states that you should have 3 copies in 2 locations where 1 of them is remote.

            In my case, the remote part is two external SSDs where I leave one with my parents and the other one plugged into my NAS which does automatic daily backups. When my parents come I swap them around.

      The Proton Drive app can automatically sync pictures from your phone. The Proton ecosystem as a whole is a good alternative to Google’s.
