I’m confused. How is this any different getting simply hosting a picture yourself and tracking all the IP addresses via http fetch logs? Why is Lemmy itself being singled out here? Why do you need some CGI script?

because I refuse to consume any of it

I guarantee you already have and didn’t notice.

There’s a philosophical argument to be made for sure, and I’d probably even agree with you. But the reality is that the technology is here, and it’ll be used in pursuit of the almighty buck.

Perhaps, but there are a few that do it, such as photoprisim and photostruct.

As somebody that already has an NFS share for their photos, is immich able to use my already existing photo location, or is it another one of those that requires an import process that copies them to its own storage?

So, what, it only lets you upload pics remotely but not view? I do not understand.

I was thinking of trying it out but the huge banner saying not to trust it for anything important makes me hesitate every time.

A pure merit-based approach also overwhelming benefits white people though, because they have a lot more generational income to help their kids get ahead in life.

What situation?

I’ve always thought private trackers were more dangerous since you can’t use a VPN. Seems like all it would take is one fed or MPAA (or the like) agent joining and they have a treasure trove of info to investigate.
