    For some, particularly businesses reliant on software that can’t perform on anything but Windows (and occasionally MacOS), sure. For individuals it is much easier. Installed Linux Mint a few months ago and I set up a VM for the stuff I truly needed some form of Windows for (tried dual booting for a bit but found that inconvenient). None of these are insane lengths, unless the cutoff for that is, “anything above minimal effort.”







  • Not always an option, unfortunately. By “picked up” I meant if you need to save, close, and eventually someone else picks up the work where you left off. Incredibly common in collaborative settings. I may start a Photoshop file, get to a good point, but then it has to change based on the work someone else is doing. Another person has to open that file and make updates accordingly. If they couldn’t find and edit the file because I told them it was done in Photopea or GIMP, that would mess things up.

    Affinity is a viable alternative to Adobe, whereas Photopea and GIMP are more suitable for individual needs (although it’d be kinda cool if a practice set itself up to use those from the ground up).






  • My wife and I use Immich via Tailscale to avoid the need of any proxying and serious account management. That said, I have yet to fully transition from GP because I have at least one shared album that a few dozen people regularly access. Still need to test setting up a shared album w/ reverse proxy for this one. But then if I want to share another album I’d likely need to set up another proxy…or see if shared albums share a common URL I could use as a catch all. Still need to test.


  • Hi from All! I’ve been running Immich alongside my usual Google Photos to make sure it does a good job before making the switch. A year ago I would have said no. Nowadays I think it’s a great alternative for some, if you’re a bit tech savvy. Perhaps someday it’ll offer something like Ente, which I have also heard great things about.

    Our musical tastes seem almost perfectly aligned, so I’ll try and throw out a few curve balls:

    1. AJR - pretty corny, but fuck if almost every song ain’t a bop.
    2. The Districts - A Flourish and a Spoil
    3. Mansions - Dig Up the Dead
    4. Stop Light Observations - oRANGE.
    5. Disco Elysium Soundtrack has been my go to of late when I don’t want lyrics cluttering my head.



  • It’s not open source, but I got a lifetime license for Enpass over a decade ago and it’s done everything I’ve ever needed it for. I think stacksocial occasionally has new lifetime codes for sale. I like the idea of Proton Pass as others have said, but it feels a bit like putting all my eggs in one basket, which is a mistake I already made with Google before (context: I use Proton for email). I think Keepass is the next best option if dedicated to staying FOSS.
