@feld@friedcheese.us I thought they were keeping the “danger don’t trust this with your data” thing forever. 😆
Time for a second attempt at moving off google photos maybe…

@sam It has been really good the last few months. New timeline syncing algorithm, lots of polishing.
I moved all our data out of Apple Photos / iCloud. First round was my own manual method, then I learned you can request a backup of your data from Apple and they'll email you special download links to giant Zip files. Those can natively be imported by the immich-go cli program.
All my RAW photos are NFS mounted readonly and added as an "External Library" so it can't mess with them.
On my phone I made an iOS Shortcut that can auto add-to-album real photos I took and not just memes I saved, and then only those are synced. Makes it easier to keep the garbage from getting into my photo archive.

@feld@friedcheese.us It’s been tempting for a while but the issue is the shared albums with my extended family with photos of the kids. I’ll have to invite them all to make accounts which is of course too much trouble…

@sam You don't actually need them to make accounts, you can just share the albums as links that never expire and they can bookmark them
