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.
throw Immich on the nas and backup the Photos as a pgp encrypted file on some cheap cloud service
I guess I’ll spend some time looking into Immich. Thanks for the suggestion.
Probably ditch PGP and use rclone on a cron job to backup your photos to an encrypted remote. Then you can use whatever cloud provider is the cheapest at the time.
