  • This is the answer.

    Additional ideas: I happened to be on Synology and wanted to download google takeout files directly from Google to the nas. So I ran an instance of chromium in docker and used that browser to download the 50gb takeout files directly to the nas.

    Take note of the size of your immich library before and after you import with immich go, and how big the takeout files are before using immich go. If you miss a few files you’ll know because of the size discrepancy.

  • So I’m the kind of person who runs back ups using two synologies and is more of a GUI guy. I use mac and pcs very fluently but I’m not entirely terminal or command line literal.

    Will something like this cause more problems if I’m looking to get rid of Google drive and start switching to next cloud or will this make my life easier?

  • It’s sync for Reddit, something we’ve used for almost a decade. But it’s for Lemmy.

    For us, that means a developer we can talk to, who talks to us and listens, who is talented, performant and responsive, and an app that embodies all of the above while configurable and fast.

    Imagine your most used app and social media that you have used for so long is taken away overnight. And the developer left his job to work on sync. He lost his job again because of Reddit.

    We all got sync and Reddit taken away; now we have it back, and we are pleased about it, and it feels good to toss a token to someone to literally give them their dream job back again.

    Also, your comments of ad-supported apps as misleading sponsors is a mischaracterization, even though ads and all associated parts are utterly disabled if you pay 20 bucks to remove them for life. You don’t get to have a fast, cheap, and good app; you can only pick 2. For me, good and fast is just fine. For you, stick with connect.

    Most people came to Lemmy because of third-party Reddit apps getting destroyed, don’t be surprised about the hype.

  • I had no idea there was such a thing as FOSS justice warrior extremists. This belligerent and disruptive behavior on lemmy makes me feel less bad about renewing my Adobe creative Cloud subscription and a lot less interested in FOSS as a concept if this is the community I have to be a part of. I used to be into it, but this mentality is toxic.

  • So then donate to your server. But denigrating other people on Lemmy for offering highly anticipated services is appalling. Ask for donations in a more appropriate place. My server was swimming in donations and told us to stop donating. Devs adding to the tapestry of options on Lemmy, whether foss or not, don’t deserve to be harassed because you think people’s money should go elsewhere.

  • Server owners aren’t the only people who are working for free.

    There are people that have made skins for Lemmy, do they get paid? Mods as well, not to mention the Lemmy devs and admins. And all of this is nothing without people posting content, are you going to pay them too?

    If all one has to do to try and diminish someone asking for a price for their services here is to point out someone else on Lemmy that wants the money too, then everyone looks like a jerk.

    Don’t forget, the whole reason Lemmy is so successful these past few months is because the work these devs do wasn’t appreciated on Reddit, and we all came here instead. Are you saying all these redfugees should leave and take their money to X instead?

  • I’m saddened at the amount of uncivilized discourse going on in this thread.

    You can actually talk about these bugs and development with the developer on discord, and also submit reports and suggestions on GitHub.

    Saying things like “fuck this” and “uninstalling” about a beta that has had at least 2 versions updated today is the same kind of useless discourse I’d expect with failed protests on Reddit.

    Here is a more civilized critique of one of the gdpr functions on GitHub. https://github.com/laurencedawson/sync-for-lemmy/issues/200

    Perhaps you can make a new issue about a reject all button as well.

    Edit- this response is to the commenters here, not op. OP made a well formatted and polite issue on GitHub.
