Overview of Memories Advanced Photo Management Suite that installs inside Nextcloud

Memories is a fast, modern and advanced photo management suite, that installs quickly and easily inside Nextcloud. My video contrasts it with the Photos app that comes with Nextcloud, and highlights some reasons why you may want to use it instead of Photos. This app has face, object, landmark, place, and human action recognition capability through the Recognise app. It’s not that obvious, but albums can be shared, and photos commented on, with other Nextcloud registered users using the underlying Nextcloud file commenting system.

Memories is a great way to collaborate and share photos privately with friends and family, and even to share public links to some of your albums. It can even work on a Raspberry Pi hosted in the home.

It also has apps for iOS and Android, which can optionally auto-upload photos into Memories.

By saving/reading titles and descriptions into the photo’s EXIF headers means that importing or exporting out of Memories is a lot less of a chore with migrating between photo services.

Immich Self-Hosted Photos and Videos Solution – My Warts and All Video Review

Immich is a really modern looking and responsive self-hosted solution for your photos and videos. It has a number of similarities to Google Photos and is often promoted as being the closest alternative right now to Google Photos. I’ve installed Immich on my VPS, connected it to my 13,000+ Piwigo photos, and been testing it out for the last week.

My review shows what is working well, and what I see as some potential shortfalls (as at Dec 2023) compared to Piwigo and other solutions. Immich is under very active development, so I’m sure some of these issues will be addressed in the coming year.

But if you are considering Immich, and are wondering how it compares to something like Piwigo, this video may be of help to you. Likewise, if you’re trying to get Immich to connect to external libraries.

It is amazing how many applications are added to #Yunohost lately. I am somehow baffled, kind of speechless.

💬 mit @Ückück /S. Henkel 😛pdd: :af: @Katharina Nocun @Tobias @SIN - Studio im Netz @𝓒𝓱𝓻𝓲𝓼

"Immer mehr Menschen wollen ihre Kommunikation nicht Plattformen wie #Facebook oder #YouTube anvertrauen, sondern wechseln zu Alternativen wie #Mastodon und #PeerTube. Wieso sind diese anders? Wie verändern sie das Internet? Und wie kann man im #Fediverse aktiv werden? Um diese Fragen geht es am 22.09.2023 bei unserem Fachtag mit Vorträgen und Workshops.

Der kostenlose Fachtag ist eine Präsenzveranstaltung der Free Software Foundation Europe @Free Software Foundation Europe, der Landeszentrale für Politische Bildung Nordrhein-Westfalen @LpB NRW und der #Volkshochschule Köln. Er richtet sich an Multiplikatorinnen der politischen #Bildung, an #Lehrkräfte , Vertreterinnen öffentlicher Institutionen und #Bildungseinrichtungen sowie an alle Interessierten.

Vorkenntnisse und Erfahrungen rund um dezentrale soziale Netzwerke sind nicht notwendig, denn ein Überblick über verschiedene dezentrale Dienste, die oft als „Fediverse“ bezeichnet werden, gehört zum Programm. Weitere Themen sind Potenziale und Probleme dezentraler Dienste und ihre Bedeutung für die demokratische Gesellschaft. In drei Workshops geht es ganz praktisch um die Nutzung von Fediverse-Diensten, um den Betrieb eigener Instanzen und um Wissensvermittlung zu dezentralen sozialen Netzwerken im Bildungskontext.

Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos, eine Online-Anmeldung ist jedoch erforderlich. Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Teilnahme!"

📅 22.09.2023
⏰ 10:00 - 16:00 Uhr

Self-Hosted Chatbot Focuses On Privacy

Large language models (LLMs) have been all the rage lately, assisting from all kinds of tasks from programming to devising Excel formulas to shortcutting school work. They’re also relatively …

LibreTranslate is Free and Open-Source Self-hosted Machine Translation

LibreTranslate is a machine translation API which is entirely self-hosted. This software lets you use open source machine translation in your projects. It uses Argos Translate for its translation engine.

It supports quite a few commonly used languages, but for example, for my own country it only supports English and none of the other 10 official languages. They provide two links at the end of the review to a test site as well as the open source code project. When I tested it for English to Dutch, it did not recognise everything and showed about 95% accuracy. So not quite in Google’s league, but if you want a free and self-hosted alternative then it does do a pretty good job.

That said, to add new languages, you first need to train an Argos Translate model. They provide a video link for details. First you need to collect data, for example from Opus, then you need to add the data to data-index.json in the Argos Train repo.

I see also you can enable all languages by turning on –debug mode, which includes the non-reviewed languages too.

If you don’t want to self-host, you can also opt to use their cloud API for production use for a fee. But a docker image is available, which would make self-hosting pretty simple.

How to make your own self-hosted VPN in under 30 minutes (and why you’d want to, or not, do this)

Self-hosted VPNs can be quite good if you are hosting them from a hosting service, but network traffic is often limited to about 1 TB (and you have to count it both ways) and many streaming services will still detect it as a VPN connection and maybe block it.

Hosting from home solves the network traffic issue, but exposes your home IP address.

So this is a good article to understand where and how a self-hosted VPN may help you or not. In many cases, especially for Netflix and similar types of streaming, the only reliable option is a paid VPN service that specifically works around streaming services.

Docker Mailserver (DMS) is an open-source production-ready full stack mail server that you can self-host in a Docker container

This is a simple containerised mail server (SMTP, IMAP, LDAP, Antispam, Antivirus, etc.). Only configuration files, no SQL database. Easy to deploy and upgrade. I see it is often recommended to others, as I noticed in a Lemmy forum today.

It is receiving regular updates and has quite extensive documentation. It has over 11,000 likes on Github.

Veloren is an open-source multi-player voxel role-playing game that can be self-hosted (and has more adventure and fun than Minecraft)

It is inspired by games such as Cube World, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft.

You can play single player or multi-player, standalone or use an online server, or even host your own server in a Docker container, or on a Raspberry Pi. Plenty of options!

You start by creating your character, you can collect items for your inventory, you can craft items, there are weapons and combat, you develop skills, can tame creatures, you can trade with merchants, you can socialise, and lost more. There is no single, specific goal or focus, and the idea is to keep exploring and have adventures.

The game is community driven and actually updates quite regularly.

It is clearly no clone of Minecraft. It is fun and adventure!

PhotoPrism vs Piwigo for Open-Source Self-Hosted Photo Album Management

Self-Hosted photo albums are often considered as alternatives to Flickr or Google Photos. Both PhotoPrism and Piwigo provide something similar, but they do it differently, and in this video I highlight some of those differences. You may just want to host something for yourself, or your family and friends, or for the greater public at large.

PhotoPrism is newer and better looking than Piwigo, but does it have what is needed to provide the functionality you need?

Open Source Self-Hosted Home Assistant home automation with a Modbus TCP interface to a Victron Solar System

Home Assistant is an open source self-hosted home automation tool that puts local (not external cloud) control and privacy first. My system is running in a Docker container on a machine at home.

Home Assistant is more than just the monitoring and managing of smart home switches and lights. It has powerful automation that can be triggered by all sorts of events or device states to notify you, or manage even solar systems, garage doors, and much more. For example, I have an automation that announces it has started to rain so we can get the washing off the line before it gets too wet.

In this video I show what my HA dashboards look like, and how I managed to read lots of information via the universal Modbus TCP protocol from my Victron solar energy system, and to also write data back to the Victron system to change the battery minimum state of charge values from HA (or other registers).

I have shared my config files on a Github page so that it is easier for others to replicate some of the same functionality (without spending 4+ hours like I did on a single value statement line).

Hi, I'm #newhere !
I'm a man in the 40's from Norway. Now living and thriving in the northern parts, though I have my roots in #Bergen city.

I've been exploring alternatives to the hegemony of #google and #facebook / #meta and their likes for some time. Not entirely new to the #fediverse, as I've been using #mastodon for a while, but this is my first time in the #diaspora realm.

A couple of topics I find interresting:
