I wrote out my #selfhosting #photos setup for my friend @ketumbra and thought it might be useful for some people here to help #boycottUSA #degoogle & leave #BigTechSomething that makes it clear how much value the #broligarchy can extract from your photos is this demo website from #ente @ente showing exactly how much #google extract about you and your family when you use their photo hosting on #googlephotos : https://theyseeyourphotos.com/🧵 1/4

@implementcontrols @ketumbra @ente don't draw any serious conclusions until you run the same photo through that site multiple times. The same image of me can produce a confidently stated "high honesty" or "dishonesty," estimate my income as 40K-60K euros or $800K-$1.5M, and claim that I'm a heavy drinker or a complete teetotaler. All from the exact same image, submitted several times separately.

I have found that all of the "solutions" I've looked at are just locking you into some more specific ecosystem, so went back to the revolutionary idea of using the #filesystem I have my photos and videos in a folder structure on my laptop by year, trip.I don't auto backup from my #iPhone or #Sonya6700 anymore, that really just synced a load of cruft I had to delete, or pay to store. I move photos I want to my laptop, where I adjust and edit them in #darktable / #rawtherapee / #digikam 🧵 2/4

Next I run #syncthing on my laptop, and on my #homelab #intelN100 #n100 mini pc / server that runs in the cupboard and is very #lowpower I run #proxmox and this also has a #samba share which allows any other network devices to see the media.With syncthing running, I always have two copies of the media, but for backup I was using #rclone to send an encrypted copy to #googledrive - which I am in the process of switching over to #nextcloud running on #hetzner🧵 3/4

Lastly, I have #immich in a #proxmox VM as a readonly viewer of the samba share so I can see photos on my phone and other devices. My devices connect to #wireguard when out of the house so they can still access the server to sync!Hope that is helpful to someone, and let me know what I'm doing wrong and can improve!🧵 4/4

@jimsalter yes I totally agree that #ai is bullshit, but the fact is that the #broligarchy are constantly adding to, aggregating, and selling your information for #surveillancecapitalism also in relation to your specific example photo - if you have more context in the pic, and in aggregate your whole life of photos in google photos, its not a great situation IMO.

@implementcontrols oh, it absolutely sucks. The thing I'm pointing out is that they won't even get the targeting RIGHT, but they'll still screw your entire life up with it if given the chance.
