• Show HN: I built a website to share files and messages without any server

  I've got another one on topic of self-hosted file sharing: - FileBrowser running in Docker (https://filebrowser.org/features) - Syncthing running in another container (https://syncthing.net/) Syncthing keeps the files on your PC, Mac, BSD systems updated, and FileBrowser can point to the share and supply a convenient web UI. It works for me, it's kind of like a local Dropbox-lite. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

  Depending on what you're looking for, this is the kind of thing that P2P protocols were made for. Check out https://syncthing.net/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Ask HN: Best useful tools that are helpful in your business?

  We use syncthing to share files between our machines. It avoids is having to use dropbox / OneDrive etc. You just choose a folder and it automatically syncs it in the background. https://syncthing.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices

  This very hn entries is bust contradicting your statement. Also what about syncthing[1] (for recurrent/permanent sync) and croc[2] (for one time copies) ?

• macOS Sequoia Preview

  Have you tried using the Files app for image/file transfers? You can add Samba (and other) shares in there by tapping the '...' in the upper-right corner, hitting 'Connect to Server', then inputting your local server's address and connecting. I use this not just for photos, but for transferring various files and docs to/from my phone/home server. You mentioned not wanting to mass-select 2000+ photos. If the photos... - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Photobox – Free Open Source Google Photos Clone

  Https://immich.app/ has built in auto-detection and tagging. I am surprised by the over-engineered comment. Object auto-detection is kind of an advanced feature and I would expect a lot of extra infra required for it. Immich hides it because they just publish docker containers for you but I imagine it would feel more complex if you were to look at the internals. - Source: Hacker News / 26 days ago

• Ask HN: Alternatives to Google Photos

  I setup Immich in a few minutes with an old PC running FreeNAS: https://immich.app/ Their Android/iOS Flutter app needs some polishing, but overall it's very usable and very similar to Google Photos. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Happy 20th Anniversary, Gmail. I'm Sorry I'm Leaving You

  It really is hard to leave Gmail when all of your data has been conveniently stored therein. This is one of Google's retention strategies and it is indeed brilliant. That said, there's a vast number of self-hosted alternatives like Stalwart Mail (email) [1], Immich (images) [2], NextCloud (Google Docs) [3], etc. [1] https://stalwa.rt [2] https://immich.app [3] https://nextcloud.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• I accidentally built a meme search engine

  Last year we added CLIP-based image search to https://immich.app/ and even though I have a pretty good understanding of how it works, it still blows my mind damn near every day. It's the closest thing to magic I've ever seen. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
