But there are dozens of people in this very thread who if I am understanding correctly are willing to offer the same service for free to prove their point that Plex is evil.

Sorry to have annoyed you.

I know it's fashionable to shit on Plex here, but OP either has his server misconfigured or is just trying to stir the pot:

Also the weekly intentionally misunderstanding how Plex pass/Plex remote pass works in order to complain:

Wow, 7tb for $21/month. That's much better than I've been seeing.

Problem with that is there is no backup in case of flood/fire/tornado etc.

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah it sucks because Microsoft charges $10/mo for 6tb.

Anyone know of a good managed hosting (or vps) for Immich that doesn't break the bank? I have about 5TB of photos/videos and I don't feel safe without a remote backup. I played with self hosting and I really (really) like Immich but I keep Google photos/Drive just to ensure I won't lose anything.

Or would concentrating my lemmy/piefed use strictly through a self-hosted one person instance account help to ensure nothing but what I’m ‘intentionally doing’ is tracked?

It would ensure that yes. The other instance would only see the IP of your instance, not browser information or anything else. I haven't tried selfhosting, so I can't speak to it's difficulty, but as far as I know, there is no reason to distrust any of the major Lemmy or Piefed instances. I'm not an expert and it is open source software so anyone could theoretically edit the code if they wanted.

And privacy refers to having control over who can see your personal information, anonymity means being unidentifiable.

Hm I like that idea. That's a bit out of my wheelhouse but worth looking into. Maybe also have two zones? A larger one to trigger the location update?
