  • If you are already hosting Nextcloud, the Memories app might fit your needs well.

    Immich definitely isn’t a bad option either. It doesn’t take ton of resources, has a clean user interface and is multiplatform. Just like Coolie4 said, you can just try it out with a small collection first before committing to anything.

    If you don’t want them on cloud providers because you’re not comfortable them being able to see those pictures, you can also pay for Ente.

    Self hosting Ente is also an option, which is what I use for my family

    You might also be able to get away with hosting something like Seafile and use directories as albums. But you won’t get random shuffling in that case (My bad I can’t read. This isn’t much better than what you’re doing currently)



  • It’s fairly clunky. The developer is a nice guy and responds really quickly, but files sometimes didn’t sync and I got an error twice where it just completely stopped syncing.

    There also isn’t a proper setup guide or documentation (but you can always add the help flag halfway through your jar usage to know what parameters you’re missing). The developer has been kind enough to help me through that though.

    It might just be a skill issue on my end of course. Though needless to say I moved back to something else after a couple of months (In my case to Seafile)

    Also its Dutch translation is acceptable (I did that)



  • I bought four Ultimate 2C’s for our couch gaming setup. Though we’re going to be unpacking everything for that setup in the weekend of the 25th. So if you can wait I’m happy to share my experience with those.

    I have the original ultimate for about a year. I don’t know how relevant it’s going to be, but I never had any issues with it. The triggers and the stiffer sticks definitely feel cheaper compared to the Xbox One controller. The lighter weight might also be the reason. I’m overall really happy with it considering the price. I paid the same for the controller and dock combined as the Xbox controller.

    I also bought their Gamecube controller for my Switch a while back, I think three years. The B button stopped working a couple of months later but they sent a new one shortly after I reported it. They didn’t even bother to let me ship the broken one back.



  • No, I currently use Syncthing to sync my documents and music folders between my devices. If there’s something else, like the clips I make when playing with friends, the computer automatically syncs them to my Seafile instance with their sync client.

    That way I can easily share the folder and check it on my phone using the app. If you don’t encrypt the drive it will show up and be navigable in your files app, without taking space (at least if you use the stock gos files app)
