This post is 2 years old, but I just wanted to point out how funny it is to call lemmy users lemmings.

Idk if you’re joking or not but I’m pretty sure some person posted a fediverse version of a dating app yesterday somewhere lol.

I wouldn’t hold my breath for that one to take off though.

Yeah, got YouTube music after they shut down Google play music. All my friends dog on me for not having Spotify but not having ads on iOS is so nice. I tried it once without youtube premium subscription and idk how people can sit through advertisment hell for every video.

Also having the creators I watch get a larger share of the YouTube money pie cause I watch them as a YouTube premium sub is a nice feeling too.

That being said though, I’m on a family plan and not this specific plan that got its price raised (although I’m pretty sure the family plan prices have also gone up recently if I remember right).

Bury them in the desert

To add onto this, has anyone found a good way to combine the metadata back into the photos from Google takeout? I’ve found two solutions on Google, one was send it off to some company and pay them to do it and the other has me run some pre compiled exe file. 

I’m starting to think I’ll just have to live without the metadata or write my own solution.

Are the customers forced to pay for tracking? Does Etsy have a rule against sellers paying for the tracking? I’ve never used Etsy before so I’m not sure exactly how it works.

I’d feel more comfortable having a tracking number on any package I order.

I’ve read little to no ubuntu documentation (aside from stuff like installation and very basic troubleshooting). Have you noticed any improvement to it? I think this post is 2 years old so I’d assume there’d be at least a bit of little change.

I googled it after reading your comment cause I realized I didn’t actually know what it meant.

There were a few definitions but I’m guessing this is the one the person you’re replying to meant:

“deliberately attempt to conceal unpleasant or incriminating facts about (someone or something).”

Idk why they thought someone calling out Nazis for spending resources on the Holocaust up until the very end meant that people are whitewashing Nazis though.

Kinda unrelated, but if I restart my computer for whatever reason, will the containers and volumes be wiped out?

Idk, maybe? I’m a docker noob. How hard is it to redeploy a docker container and keep my photos?

Yeah the only thing I’ll need to backup will just be the photos. This machine is just gonna run Ubuntu server so I can try out a bunch of other self hostable services for fun. I’ll take a look into Borg though! Always appreciate any suggestions.

I just googled restic, so does it just create a single encrypted backup file you can upload to backblaze b2 cloud storage? I will definitely look into that.

For now, immich is just another safety net. I’ve got my photos backed up to iCloud photos as well as Google Photos. It’s not a price or privacy thing so much as a just in case Google or Apple decides to shut down my account for whatever reason.

I may skip running two hdd’s in raid 1 though if restic and b2 can restore all my files if the drive fails. Have you done this before? Is it difficult to restore to a backup?

I just downloaded their docker compose file and I see I can specify the absolute location on my machine so I think you’re right. Thanks!

As much as I’d like to see an alternative to YouTube on the fediverse, I can’t see myself using it much unless my favorite content creators move on over there too. And I can’t see them moving.
