Synology Photos is nice, but its not for professionals. If you need like an absolute perfect solution with tons of features, its not for you.
Its perfect for family photos though.
You can sort photos by dates, create albums, create albums by person/object/scene. It has AI face / object recognition.
It's 90% of what I need personally.
I mean they still do their own thing on their own channels right now and upload frequently.
I agree about the Top Gear comparison. They were definitely entertaining.
I mean they did mostly reviews from what I remember. Most of the tech was outdated by today's standards. Plus once the main two people left around 5-6 years ago the show went into tailspin.
Why are you trying to do it the hard way?
