Wow… Just learned about that NOW. I wanted to play some games today and wondered why my account doesnt work nor the “forgot password”-Function…

Fuck Meta. Fuck Oculus… Fuck this whole Enshittification that is going on lately…

Is there ANY Way, to get my CV1 to run Without an account?!

Thank you! Gone are the days were I said “Wait! I have a meme for that!” -> Since Immich it is just “Here is a meme for that!”

I should do that, but i dont do it at the Moment.

Maybe in the future. It should be pretty simple by running my attached drives as a RAID 1-Cluster or something.

They’re running on NAS 24/7 online-Drives. At the Moment I’m pretty confident that I am safe.

I would say it is, but to be fair, i work as a programmer and with Linux on a daily basis.

But there are plenty of tutorials which teach you to flash some OS to your Pi or even complete guides to build immich on top of a pi:( https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-immich/ )

The raspberry pi is the famoust single board Computer and therefore there are tons of projects and things you can do with it.

Immich is the best alternative I can think of. It runs about 2 years now on my raspberry pi.

And there is even a OpenSource Companion App which syncs Photos Automatically to the Server (https://droidify.eu.org/app/?id=app.alextran.immich&repo_address=https%3A%2F%2Ff-droid.org%2Frepo .

The Search is so good that I host another sever just for my meme-Collection! It even recognise Tags like NSFW out of the Box. And all that on your own hardware! You can search by people, cities, countries Dates, Devices and so on

You can selhost it on your own Hardware. Its pretty simple. You just have to install docker and docker-compose and follow the instructions on their site.

If you followed and learned that, you can pretty much host ANY other App just like that. Its pretty much always the same steps.

If you have any App you used before and isnt available on Linux: You can try to install the .exe-file with a Tool named “Bottles”.

Each Programm you run with that tool gets its own virtual Space, so if you mess something up, you can throw that one bottle away and just create another in its fresh New environment.

It has a clean UI and you can play with all kinds of different configs to get your Bottle to run. You can choose between different Windows Versions for example.

Under the hood it uses Wine and Proton.

Pro-Tip: Start Programms via the UI in “Terminal-Mode” so you can See potential Error-Messages which you would normally not see, if you just run the Programm.

Thanks for the lookup to that article! Very Informative and entertaining

Yeah, but can you post events anonymous there? I tried it a couple of Years ago and i didnt See that Option. But maybe that changed since then.

Also it seems Less active for my country (germany). In my area there is a instance called https://bonn.jetzt/ which is quite active and is also posting on Mastodon.
