Photoprism for photos. Its awesome!

Not as hard as for people from Ukraine, so, nothing to worry about.

Putin and his government has been killing and putting their opponents to prison since 2000-s. At the same time they were telling older people, that if they chose anyone from opposition, Russia will return to its darkest ages.

While doing this, they closed or took under their control all indepent media and made it illegal to say something, that doesn't fit their narrative.

And now people wondering why Russians aren't protesting or fighting that regime.

Went here to write this.

That's for good. I've found myself getting back to reddit after account deletion, but it was unusable because big blocking interaction modal with "use an app", which I unable to dismiss, appeared. So, bye then.

Wanna see those tankies, who say it's all for good under some posts like that.

I also did this. 5yrs and 1k karma.

I'm not that optimistic about lemmy's future (especially after lemmy.world defederation on beehaw), but I'm glad to be here.

If it won't work, I'll just stop wasting my time on reading things I don't need. If it will, that'll be cool.

Yeah, don't use SD for something, that continuously writes data on it. One power outage and it will die.

Maybe Photoprism isn't a backup strategy, but Syncthing for sure is, because you can have multiple backup units in it.

I'm additionally use software RAID on one of devices, that receives Syncthing backups.

Idk if I'm gonna stay, but I won't return to reddit.

No, you can't. Your instance will go down, but all your posts and comments will still live in read-only mode on the instances they been federated before.

In mastodon (another activity pub service) you can export your account with subscriptions, but not the posts. So, if it'll happen, you gotta start from scratch.

Thanks, great. Gonna search it on my instance, so it'll appear on a list.

Look at mastodon (or try it), after Twitter user exile it grows and shines like an independent big social network. Same will happen to lemmy.

And if original developers will shut down their instances, there will still be a lot of others. And if devs abandon their code, it's opensource, so anybody can continue supporting it. And if not, ActivityPub is a protocol, that's used to exchange data, and new software will be written, like kbin is a working alternative to lemmy.

So, the only thing to worry about is a userbase, we must form it to attract new creative people here.
