Comment on Promised myself I will support them after they go stable. They kept their promise and so did I
Dojan@pawb.social 2 days agoI guess they fill different niches. I use Ente for the e2ee, that’s pretty important to me. Immich definitely seems more like a drop in Google Photos alternative, I just use software on my computer to do that instead.

E2EE is definitely important for uploads on someone else’s server. On my server? Ehhh, not so much. The entire drive is already encrypted. Another layer of encryption would just slow it down. Just my opinion.

I would think e2ee would be important if youre uploading files when away from your local network. If that isn’t enabled, then it’s far less important. At that point, it would only matter if there was a compromised client harvesting your wifi packets.

If this is happening via a VPN you almost definitely already have transit encryption
GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
Fair point, and if ypure worried about privacy while transferring images, a VPN should have already been considered.

Even without e2ee or a VPN, just plain old HTTPS should be enough to secure that part, or am I missing something?
GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
True, but if you control both endpoints, e2ee and https look very similar.

Immich automatically uploads when I connect to wifi so that’s not really a problem. Nor am I personally concerned with someone MITMing my personal photos, I just want them out of corporate silos that use them to exploit me or hand them over to the gov in a dragnet.
