there’s no deep system integration like Apple iCloud has

Not sure what you mean there. If you’re using an Apple computer, of course there isn’t, that’s the way Apple likes it and keeps it.

Most Linux distros/DEs support something very similar.

Photo backups with Immich.

File storage with OwnCloud.

Device syncing with SyncThing.

A blog with Ghost.

etc. etc.

The only “bad thing” I can say is that sometimes it’s so easy that you actually don’t learn any thing.

I learned a lot. Definitely a whole lot less than if I had done it “from scratch”. But also, I never would have done that. I tried and failed several times.

Cons: No pretty web UI (I consider this a pro)

…considered a pro but listed under cons…?

Anyway, you can fix that with Euphonica

Self-hosting is saving to a hard drive. The difference is how it’s accessed. If you save it to a (presumably portable?) hard drive, you can only access it from the hard drive. “Self-hosting” allows it to be stored on a hard drive, inside a server, which is then accessible from anywhere, on any device, at any time.

You’re going to “own” digital content through…federation? How does that work?

OP didn’t specify anything about multiple users.

And this is a self hostable platform.

The guy in the news story stayed alive too.

You’re not wrong, but also common knowledge is you can survive 3 days without water.

I think it’s supposed to be black and white stripes 😅

Immich automatically uploads when I connect to wifi so that’s not really a problem. Nor am I personally concerned with someone MITMing my personal photos, I just want them out of corporate silos that use them to exploit me or hand them over to the gov in a dragnet.

It’s just that good

Immich is actually open source.

E2EE is definitely important for uploads on someone else’s server. On my server? Ehhh, not so much. The entire drive is already encrypted. Another layer of encryption would just slow it down. Just my opinion.

Clearly their run-in with the DOJ and subsequent wrist-slap has emboldened them to new heights of anticompetitiveness.

From the OP:

Google Safe Browsing looks to be have been built without consideration for open-source or self-hosted software. Many popular projects have run into similar issues, such as:

• Jellyfin

• YunoHost

• n8n

• NextCloud

I mean, I can link to the documentations but, that’s literally it. That’s the entire thing.

You can install Yunohost on Debian. It’s just a single command.

dropping SMS support because of engineering costs

Who told you it was because of “engineering costs”?
