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.

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?

Hmm my phone always takes a few minutes to update that I'm home.

Ah ok thanks, so just to be clear, when you come home it will still "alert" you to an "intruder" (until your GPS updates presumably).

That's cool, so with the AI chip it can recognize individuals people and pets? Just wondering how you prevent it from alerting you for well, you.

Last I looked into this Frigate was the most robust path to take, they recommend cameras that are about $50-$100 each but in my playing around I connected a Yi camera ($10) with custom firmware.

That said it was all a bit over my head and I had trouble connecting it to home assistant and gave up

I would love a follow up post with whatever setup you go with!

Ha! That's on me for not reading until the end, thanks for that.

That's a good quote, I know she didn't mean it this way, but it made me think of LLM chatbots. They have no substance beyond their power to convince. They're basically pure marketing machines.

This is actually really funny
