It really takes effort to scrub oneself of big-tech. I don’t know how non-HN-types are supposed to do it.

My weak point has been Apple Photos. It “just works” for me and I really appreciate that it does all processing for faces, cats, etc. locally and in a native app. Every other option I find either doesn’t do syncing, offers an Electron app, or forces viewing through a browser.

Does anyone know of a solution that fits the bill? I will happily self-host.

Well, do you have the hardware to self-host? People nowadays usually are not okay with 1 week of downloading a torrent like it was in 2005. That is probably how long the embedding will take on your cpu for all the video/picture files?

Ya I have hardware and already self-host some services.
