~~ Immich is made by futo, an org who just donated a couple mil to a fash dev to maintain some vibecoded post install scripts. Nextcloud does everything Immich does through some extensions available in their marketplace. Don't support fash soft. Use eurojank instead! <\political>~~
Y'all Idk what happened I straight up can't find the source for this. I'm gonna actually check in with my mental health provider because I remember reading this clear as day but it doesn't seem to exist. I could be confusing dreams for reality again, which would be disappointing because I thought I was more stable than that.
I've been looking for sources, but I can't find anywhere. I'm certain I read it on THIS SITE, but in my search I can't find anything about futo from the last couple months.
Genuinely, I apologize for spreading misinformation, I'm gonna call my psych tomorrow.
Citation needed.

Go search out their github page and a few other places, sorry I wanted this to not be true as well.
Honest question: is it made by FUTO, or sponsored by FUTO? It does make quite a bit of difference to me. Wikipedia isn’t clear about it.

I don’t care about the original post so much as "YOU ARE A PERSON ON THE INTERNET WHO PUBLICLY SAID THEY MIGHT HAVE MADE A MISTAKE", that makes you one in a million and potentially better than anyone on social media.
Yay you!
You're sweet Buck, have a nice day, you ray of sunshine!
Immich team joined the organization after the project was already mature and popular. Immich team keeps full autonomy as part of the deal https://immich.app/blog/immich-joins-futo
Made by. They link futo.org as their 'company' on the immich website. It's open source so if you really want to use it there's nothing wrong with forking it.
FUTO donated to omarchy?

I was seeing articles on p.d about a month ago saying so. I'm having trouble finding them now. Maybe I misremembered but I'm like 90% certain they did.
Well, fuck. Immich has been a solidly good piece of software for me. Any recommendations that aren't Nextcloud?

I am in the process of moving all my photos to ente, it looks good. They have paid plans than there is the self hosted option.
I haven't personally used it but librephotos looks promising
I'm guessing you are referring to this? https://stopomarchy.org/extended
Never seen that list, but that's a good resource for keeping track of these orgs.
Thanks for saying that, I have been loving immich on one of my pi 5’s now I am going to need to replace it. I am thinking Ente, just cause it is FOSS with paid tears just like vaultwarden/bitwarden.
I have stopped using Nextcloud because I can never get things tuned right, and I feel it is trying to do more than it should.

Thank you for the notification, I may have been a little biased when I looked up the info but there are some concerns on the github page.
Us humans have horrible memories there is a whole discipline called psychology, that studies the thing.
I'm studying psych right now as part of my software development degree plan. Memory is super faulty. Within 24 hours of committing something to memory, almost half of it will be gone. Within a month, nearly all of it will be gone. This gets exacerbated by oversaturation of information since we (humans) can only reliably store around 5-9 things in our short term memory at a time before committing to long term memory, surpassing these limits results in data corruption, confusion, or selective amnesia.
Knowing this, I most like read something about Futo and read something about Omacom getting grants on the same page and my wires got crossed and conflated the two. Is this fact? No, it's presumption based on my limited knowledge of how memory works, but it seems likely.
I have my mug shot up in the psychology department of my university so yes that is why I said what I said.
Of all options you choose Nextcloud as alternative? You have so many options;
Ente photos, PhotoPrism, Piwigo, TinyCld
I think you replied to the wrong person, I never would or never have used Nextcloud for photos.
I am in the process of moving everything into ente.
Nextcloud certainly can be a cumbersome beast. I'm glad it's the second thing I chose to selfhost instead of something much later on. Gave me a chance to get my feet wet with it. I'm a big fan, but I think if I'd started with smaller services I'd be upset about the breadth of the project. It is absolutely trying to do everything it can, which can be good or bad depending on your use case.
Nextcloud was not my first selfhosted thing, I was paying a service provider for it when I started self hosting everything else I was already frustrated with how nextcloud did not play well with my homelab so I thought why the heck am I paying for it. I have never had good luck with Nextcloud.
Ah ffs, it’s like every time I look away for a bit, another mask comes off! Good shout, I’ll look into it. I was sort of intending to use Nextcloud later on anyway, so that’s an easy change of direction

I personally feel that Nextcloud should have stayed focused on one thing, but it tries to do to much and fails.
