It's perfectly possible someone doesn't want to:
Buy and run a whole separate PC
Figure out how to install TrueNAS and configure it properly
Install and configure Immich
Figure out how to make it accessible outside of their home network while maintaining security
Come up with an effective backup solution
Do regular maintenance and replace hardware when required
Why are Lemmy users so incapable of realising others may have different preferences and priorities?
Not everyone can be arsed with the complexity or hours of work the above entails. Not everyone has the money for it.
I self host but I can definitely appreciate why people would prefer going a different route. It'd likely have saved me a lot of money, tbh.
This is me.
I work in IT and have no problem setting this up for my self. The issue lies in maintaining it, keeping everything up to date and secure.
I don't want a second job. I just want it to work and I am prepared to pay for it.
Have you considered the cloud based alternative to the self hosted alternative Immich provides? It’s on your phone already, “IT guy”
there’s no way to get here without being offered 50 of the services you’re “asking for”.
A real human would know this. I was hoping we could use Lemmy without bots for at least a little while
What are you even talking about? They're asking about Immich, not 50 different services.
No, they’re specifically not asking about immich. What are you talking about?
Are you lost? Of course they're asking about Immich...
Just say you can’t read and save us the trouble lmao
What service do you think they're asking about, Sherlock?
Get where? Lemmy?
What are you even talking about?
This guy talks like a bot...
He does. And not one trained on a particularly good model, it has to be said.
Here. You can not read this unless you have an internet connected device
Ok, so you meant Lemmy.
The person who asked the question is very well aware they are accessing Lemmy via an internet-connected device.
What does that have to do with asking if you can have a cloud-hosted Immich instance?
Additionally, how does it prove he's a bot (which you have asserted) or that they're a shill sent here, which you've also asserted?
I don't know whether you yourself are a bot trained on a very bad model, or whether you're simply extremely inebriated, because you're not making much sense.
