        Coud probably be done. Find publicly shared Immich albums -> sync to Google Photos -> share publicly -> write the public Google Photos URL to the metadata of the Immich album.

        Another could be an insulated public facing Immich instance that gets publicly shared albums pushed to it, the same way as with the other scheme. No reverse access to the private Immich instance. Then if that gets hacked, only those photos leak, attacker can’t get their hands on other server data. Assuming it’s really well isolated. A public VPS would probably be best for this.

          It is but it requires public internet access to the Immich instance, or everyone involved being on our VPN. Reusing someone else’s publicly facing service to share photos from a private Immich instance is a clever workaround.

                    At the moment - for sure. When they scale production (could be more than 5 years) they may be able to exceed the dc demand. Chinese manufacturing of anything is running on much lower margins than others. They don’t play the limit-supply-to-increase-margins game. I think it’s a CCP policy, as it’s a harmful practice for the rest of the economy. So if they scale chip manufacturing to the point where it exceeds dc demand, they won’t stop scaling because their margins won’t fall. They’ll scale further to increase profits by making and selling into other markets - consumer, etc. including abroad. I think the limiting factors to this future are the mass producrion of high quality lithography machines in China as well as the availability of high performance CPU and GPU designs. They’re moving to solve all of those though, now faster than ever with the embargo on US tech.

                      Please, make sure absolutely no AI chips reach China. We can use all the cheap chips they are developing and the faster they scale production, the sooner we can get them.

                        We are ex-Reddit users. As we have been ex-Slashdot, ex-Digg, ex-forums, ex-etc. over the years. That doesn’t mean all those things are the same as each other. They’re different in important dimensions which made people move between them. Lemmy is not Reddit in important dimensions and this is why we’re now here instead of on Reddit.

                          I think self-hosting has the expectation of the ability to self-host for indefinite period of time. E.g. I can run Jellyfin 10.10 for as long as I have the hardware and willingness to run it. A proprietary piece of software, say Plex, could technically allow that too, but that’s much less likely. Since I can’t see its source code, I can’t know if there’s a time bomb that stops it from working at some future date. Or an update/remote procedure I don’t know about that asks me to pay $750 at some point to continue using it. Which could preclude me from being able to continue self-hosting it. Is the ability to self-host indefinitely an expectation everyone shares? Probably not. Probably worth thinking about in this context though.

                            There’s been ML and non-ML ways of doing STT over the years. as far as I recall. The current best implementations are ML-based. In coloquial terms ML algorithms are AI. We used to call them AI in the 2010s, before AI was (un)cool.

                                Offline-only speech-to-text, integrated with the desktop for push-to-talk voice typing? That’s the kind of AI that I’d like to see. Actually add features that can help people without harming their rights. I’m still moving new machines to Debian but this is nice.
