This questions goes to the immich-wise people around here.

I have just some pics from my wife’s google phoots that I want to import on our immich account. What’s the best way to bring it with the correct metadata? Just save locally onthe desktop than import into immich?

another doubt is how adequately import old scanned photos on immich. I have scanne some thru an self-loader scanner. they are somewhat bent, in the wrong direction and need cropping and other minor adjusts. Would be better to make this on the desktop with some tool and than import to immich OR import everything in the way they are and then edit them inside immich?

I have a lineageOS with microG phone with a unusal problem. I haven’t seen it, at least. I tried to install my old banking app again from Aurora, in the hope it could work again (it used to, but stop a few months ago after an update). Well, Aurora downloaded the app, but its stuck on the install part, with the “circulating round thinghy” on it. I tried to kill aurora, reboot the phone, nothing. If I open aurora and go to this app, it keeps on the “installing” status. The funny thing is that I can install or remove other apps just fine, even thru aurora. Any Ideas?

I saw a big bunch of posts around here discussing the use of VPNs or i2p to torrent. As I seldom download something, I wasn’t too much worried about using my IP. Now I’m using an arr stack and that kicked me in the way to protect my connection a little better. So, what are you all using nowadays for your torrenting?

I have a family immich instance self-hosted. All pics from my kids devices are auto-uploaded on our instance. This is nice, but also updates a lot of photos and videos of they kidding and joking, ando lot of repeated stuff. Immich only allows that I exclude my own stuff, and it’s really boring have to login with each account to exclude my kids stuff. Is there anyway that I can manage and exclude photos and videos of other users?
