"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Google Starts Scanning All Your Photos As New Update Goes Live (www.forbes.com)

Google confirms its latest update can scan all your photos to “use actual images of you and your loved ones” in AI image generation. That means Gemini seeing who you know and what you do. You likely have tens or hundreds of thousands of photos. They’re all exposed if you update.

Just a reminder that self hosting is easy and fun. https://immich.app/

[–] brackled@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Fun maybe, easy not so much. I would say I have intermediate level knowledge but it was significant effort to setup a home server and then germinification to work reliably. I would still recommend it but would caveat it by said it's a small challenge even just to setup locally. I would NOT recommend it for beginners trying to have remote access.

Do you use a VPN like Tailscale or is your server open to the web? Because I find Tailscale uncomfortable for services that run 24/7 like image syncing and opening my server to the web is neither easy nor fun

[–] Butterphinger@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

I don't open anything with any personal or private data to the web, and I don't trust tailscale when normal wireguard does me just fine and I don't find having a vpn on all the time on my phone an issue.

I'm using Docker on a Raspberry Pi with a couple of RAID 1 SSDs attached. I'm running a DNLA server, torrent client, Immich, Webdav server, Pihole, and DDNS updater. It's all reverse proxied using Traefik. It just chunters away, doing it's thing. If you are careful about the setup and keep on top of updates, it's pretty secure.

It's not for beginners, but Immich is multi-user, so one person can set it up for their whole family and friends to use, share photos etc.

[–] gigachad@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks for the insights! But as I thought, this setup is the opposite of easy, unfortunately.

[–] Naich@piefed.world 1 points 1 week ago

It's comparatively easy compared to what it used to take to do this sort of thing. You only need basic Linux skills to get a full photo sharing system going. Everything can be installed from repositories and there isn't much setting up to do.

I recommend Netbird over Tailscale. It has more features, is fully FOSS, and you can self-host it.
