I have solar, so the power consumption is negligible, I am already mostly selling yo the network and not "consuming" most of the days. Also, the server stuff sits in a sound proofed and ventilated compartment in the most remote area of the house.

20 years of planning ahahahahah

Past the times when it was sitting in my bedroom.

Tried the demo, nice, but still mostly a note taking app. Seems easy to selfhost

Many people suggest immich or photoptism, but those are not the correct tools for this use case. Piwigo us great, but in my esperience slow and clunky. Lychee is great tough and probably the correct answer to op.

Summit. Neat, simple and clear. Updated very often and I simply love it.

Piwigo then, but its old, feels old, its slow and ugly.

Why such a mess? Either use immich with its upload or use syncthing (I use the latter).

Immich sucks in providing folder based albums, but excells in phone photo backup and sync!

I agree, you are perfectly right.

Better pollute the data and make it less economically meaningful?

Sorry, I am not degoogled and I even have maps with history enabled!

I got a mildly expensive pair (100€) and are rock solid since I guess 2018 or 2019. Batteries still last as much as needed, and they never failed me. Battery last days with my usage and in any case, just recharge one while using the other. I use them for phone calls mostly, or movies, and lots of music while I run.

I also have a cheapo pair (30€) which still work from 2015/0216 but I didn't used them much since 2019, so...

You need two instances of radarr

Indeed, but YMMV and to me quality is still good if source was not a remix but a top quality encoding

It might, at times, it's behind a convoluted set of proxies of course.

Not unless they can also crack http auth and actually see the landing page.
