Both great series. Revelation Space was my intro into hard sci-fi. What a freaking ride that story is.

Children of Time and its sequels are top notch, especially if you love animals and commentary on societal roles. It’s in my top Sci-Fi.

If you enjoyed Children of Time, definitely check out “A Memory Called Empire” by Arkady Martine. It’s a Sci-Fi political mystery with lots of fun word play. Aside from some really cool tech, the book really tackles what it means to be “Other” and how colonialism effects one’s idea of self. Some really cool ideas in this book. Easily my top Sci-Fi read this year.

Good. Now get rid of FPTP.

If you're technical at all, self host immich. or you and a few friends could get together and set up a pikapods for immich, it's relatively cheap and I've heard great things about pikapods. I know storing photos shouldn't require technical knowledge, but honestly unless someone you know and trust manages the service, it's hard to know who can abuse your data. I migrated from google photos to immich myself and the app ecosystem (migration tools, mobile apps, web app) are great and provide much of what google photos provided.

Ah. Are you using iCloud storage with Immich?

I was under the impression it functions similar to Immich. Figured, since you’re testing out Immich and PhotoPrism, maybe you’d test out Ente’s self hosted version too and compare 🫡

Have you considered ente?

Yeah. The “Han settler” thing seems pretty racist to me too. Especially given he’s of a mixed race family.

Maybe they could have stood up to him without physical threats and racism.

Way to buck the trend. If I wasn’t already on a solid FOSS password manager, I’d be switching to Bitwarden for this alone.

Would be great if there was an arm64 Linux build 🥲
