Photos and Videos Online Storage (lemmy.tf)

I have a NAS as my primary photo backup solution and one day someone will make a photo frame that I can point at it and it will just cycle through photos, but until that day, it's just a blackhole of memories. That said, that blackhole is important enough to me that I also back up online.

That said, given the new AI race, it's less safe than ever before and I'm seeking somewhere I can stick my photos and videos really cheaply and securely. Somewhere with pedigree that seems like it would be around in ten years. Also, someone with a modern design team so the app doesn't look like shit (preferably an open source Material You app targetting Android 14) and I can get notifications with daily memories.

The Ente suggestion went right under my radar. It actually looks like a really solid suggestion, thank you.

No worries! Curious your thoughts on it if you decide to check it out more.

So the plan as it currently stands is to do real time photo backups with Immich and then back that up to a hetzner storage plan. But it's just a plan for now since I haven't even installed Immich yet. But the thinking is that it's cheaper than Ente, which looks good and gives me more wiggle room.

I've used ente on a family plan for the last year and really like it. Although I have the aptitude to run a NAS, the last thing I want to do in my free time is look at a terminal. So for me, ente has been great - pretty plug and play.
