Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

Edit: This is Immich! for the folks who don't know.
So wait, we hate FUTO but love Immich?
I find it wild in this day and age how questions like ("why do WE hate" such and such) are being asked in the first place, then answered through one person's opinion piece mindlessly linked from all angles. Please, for gawd sake, stop listening to random fedditors/redditors about what opinions you should adopt!
IMHO (<- there's a novel approach), the criticisms of FUTO are just as biased and political as FUTO themselves, and everyone should be sceptical of bias from all sides. Apparently, focusing on 'privacy, decentralization, and right to repair' - is being too political, and they're not allowed to have a philosophical take on what they imagine successful open source to be. (Incidentally, I'm not necessarily on FUTOs side, just pissed off at the nature of social media to obviate the need of critical thinking and make everything black or white.)
Fantastic rebuttal kindergartener, you convinced everyone.
