      there’s no way to get here without being offered 50 of the services you’re “asking for”. Be honest

        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”

          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.

                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.

        Hey there. I learned about Immich from Louis Rossmann’s channel. Promptly forgot about it. It popped up in my feed just now. This is just one way that Immich could come to the attention of anyone spontaneously. If I was interested in using Immich, I would probably also ask about paid services for hosting because my current circumstances prohibit self-hosting. But I’m not interested in using Immich, nor do I have the money to pay for such a service anyway.

        Not everything is some sort of conspiracy.

        EDIT: Also, if you think the guy’s a bot, why bother replying? Furthermore, why bother replying as though they were human? “Who sent you” psssh smh goofy ah guy
