Personally I don’t trust myself with self-hosting something as important as photos. It would probably be fine, but I’m willing to pay for someone else to manage the infrastructure.

Very happy Ente user here! It’s a great alternative to Google Photos and Immich (since I think photos are too important to self-host).

They have an easy guide for migrating from Google Photos (basically they can import a Takeout export directly).

I’ve got it installed on my phone with automatic backups enabled. It had no issues with duplicates from both Takeout and the existing photos on my phone. (I even did the upload twice due to running out of space the first time, and there were no dupes). The app has a pretty similar design to Google Photos, so it feels familiar. It also supports Google’s version of “live photos”.

You can create links to share albums or individual photos, and you can also add people to your plan.

I enabled the local machine learning analysis and, while it’s not perfect, it does make for a pretty nice searching experience.

Preach! I need all my keyboard shortcuts, dammit.

That looks like Thunder! You should check out the latest version; it has an improved Block Management page.

Is my client bugging or is this comment empty?

Not yet. They’re supposedly “working on it”. This is the feature I’m most looking forward to.

Win+Pause/Break opens properties of your PC (on Windows obviously).

That’s partly Lemmy’s fault for using a custom spoiler syntax. But yeah it sounds like Eternity doesn’t support it yet.

That said, there was an issue in their repo just recently closed, so it sounds like support is coming!

Like I commented above, I wonder if other spoiler tags work in Sync or if there’s something about the way this bot posts that breaks it.

What client do you use? It looks fine in Thunder. (I agree it’s spammy in general, but not because of the formatting.)

Whoa that’s cool! It works in Thunder!

No worries! Thanks for mentioning it, I might check it out!

Syncthing Syncthing Syncthing works flawlessly /plugover :)

Do you know how this compares to Ditto?

System Informer is a nice, more modern take on Process Explorer. My favorite feature is the filter which supports RegEx and searches the process name, command args, path, etc. Really nice for monitoring a few important processes.

7-zip

If you’re on Win 11, use NanaZip. It’s a fork with better integration with Windows 11’s crappy conext menu.

Caffeine

If you have PowerToys this is built in now.

AnyDesk has started enshitifying too but it’s still better than TeamViewer.

What? This just isn’t true? I RDP into work all time and it picks up my user session with all open apps from the last time I was physically at the machine. Then next time I’m at the machine, it picks up the session from last time I remoted in. In other words, as long as you always use the same account, it’s always the same session.

Your activity also can’t be viewed by a user on the remote system

You are right this, but this is actually a benefit in my opinion. The last thing I want is for someone to turn on my monitor and see everything I’m doing. I like that it’s a private session of sorts.

Also RDP is better at adapting resolutions (I want my session to use my local monitors’ resolution, not the remote one) and forwarding system key shortcuts than any other remote solution I’ve used.

Or Thunder!
