  • I’ve just switched from an iPhone 12 Pro to Pixel 9 and am on GrapheneOS now. Aside from Signal chat history, everything switched over quite easily. Sandboxed google play services is simply an amazing feature. Rerouting location requests let’s me feel a certain level of trust when I use Google Maps now. There are a tonne of little quality of life features too that I don’t remember if base Android had back when I used it before; e.g. setting the default language for a specific application.

    For using Immich without exposing it to the public, check out Tailscale. It’s a private VPN (wireguard) service (it’s partially opensource and provides paid tiers, but the free tier is all you’ll need; there’s an open source server called Headscale, if you need full open source) you can use on your home network that is dead simple to configure. You literally just login on you computer and your phone.








  • If you’re technical at all, self host immich. or you and a few friends could get together and set up a pikapods for immich, it’s relatively cheap and I’ve heard great things about pikapods. I know storing photos shouldn’t require technical knowledge, but honestly unless someone you know and trust manages the service, it’s hard to know who can abuse your data. I migrated from google photos to immich myself and the app ecosystem (migration tools, mobile apps, web app) are great and provide much of what google photos provided.









  • Good share. I saw the nudge in the mobile app, but I didn’t realize there was breaking changes and upgraded in the middle of the night before bed (what the hell was I thinking???). Spent a good extra hour trying to figure out why.

    Key take away, the pgvecto.rs version needs to be upgraded. If you are using docker, update the docker-compose.yml. If you’re not, upgrade your pgvector.rs version first. 🙏
