auth VS immich

I've been happy with Ente Auth

https://github.com/ente-io/auth

I can highly recommend Ente Photos[0]. It has automatic backup, and a very good replication architecture for maximum reliability[1]. It's also super easy to use and everything is encrypted by default.

Running machine learning on device.

Context: I'm working on an e2ee alternative to Google Photos[1] where we have to cluster embeddings (for face recognition) and run similarity searches (for semantic search[2]) on device.

> there is no better alternative

If your primary device is Android, please check out Ente[1].

We are an E2EE alternative to Google Photos. We had launched on HN[2] a while ago, and have been working towards feature parity. We aren't "there" yet, but hope to soon be.

If you've any feedback, please share it with [email protected], I'd be grateful!

I use: Signal, ente.io and the Proton suite of producs. And tresorit as well. I kinda trust those things.

Proton is starting to become more like https://ente.io

It really is hard to leave Gmail when all of your data has been conveniently stored therein. This is one of Google's retention strategies and it is indeed brilliant.

That said, there's a vast number of self-hosted alternatives like Stalwart Mail (email) [1], Immich (images) [2], NextCloud (Google Docs) [3], etc.

Last year we added CLIP-based image search to https://immich.app/ and even though I have a pretty good understanding of how it works, it still blows my mind damn near every day. It's the closest thing to magic I've ever seen.

I’m a big fan of https://immich.app/ and I use it every day for thousands of assets

Real-world applications often require complex queries that go beyond simple Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) search. To explore a practical example of such applications, let's take a closer look at immich, a self-hosted photo and video backup solution that highlights the importance of advanced vector and traditional relational queries.

I discovered these 3 amazing projects recently:

Cryptpad, essentially google docs/sheets/forms e2e encrypted. It does include collaboration. https://github.com/cryptpad/cryptpad

Immich, google photos self hostable, with share options https://github.com/immich-app/immich

Nginxproxymanager manages certificates and proxies to self hosted stuff through nginx https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager

Great self hosting stuff!

I realize it's very hard, but can we maybe reconsider opening the encryption-at-rest feature request? https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/450

Maybe we can give temporary access to processing steps in the pipeline, then have Immich forget the keys after it does the processing?
