Note: This setup is both for my android and pc Edit: For those recommending paid services and selfhosting, I don’t have the money nor resources for either. Also it seams some people are confusing my android setup with my PC setup so I’ll write it down. Android: Brave(movies) + Ironfox, Search: Brave + DDG, VPN: Proton ( not always on), GPay = Cash, Auth= Aegis Auth, Pass: KeepassDX, PC: Firefox= Librewolf, VPN = No VPN (VERY slow internet), Search: Searxng + DDG, Pass: KeepassXC,

    Check out ente as an alternative to Google Photos. I’ve been using them since 2023 when Google announced they own your photos and they were going to be instead ingested into AI.

    Edit: typo. Looks great BTW. Good progress.

      I’m not using ente because they have a cloud storage, the only safe storage is the one you have

        Fair! I could be held hostage in that way, but as a paying user, I (so far) trust them to use my subscription fees to pay for servers. I really like that all the ML processing happens locally, and they have no insight into any of my photos. I did look into Immich, but at the time, self-hosting was not an option as I was living in a developing country.

        Edit: I was mostly looking at how a gallery app (which is also the one I use) isn’t a replacement for gPhotos.
