If you care about backing up your photos (and other media), for an indefinite period of time, the Perkeep (https://perkeep.org/ https://perkeep.org/) (earlier Camlistore) is very relevant. > Perkeep (née Camlistore) is a set of open source formats, protocols, and software for modeling, storing, searching, sharing and synchronizing data in the post-PC era. Data may be files or objects, tweets or 5TB videos, and you can access it via a phone, browser or FUSE filesystem. Edit Downvoted? I don't understand. Perkeep contains the same functionality as the post, but much more, is much more mature, and is totally open source (not like the posted software, where the important core, the server, is closed source).

I didn’t downvote, but I checked it out and see that it’s at version 0.10 and the last update was more than two years ago. The combination of these two don’t inspire much confidence for me. There’s a psychological barrier for pre 1.0 releases that must be handled in any serious project.

  Ok, that's maybe fair, if you have not heard of it before. You might have heard of the main developer, Brad Fitzpatrick (https://github.com/bradfitz https://github.com/bradfitz). Anyway, your argument was discussed very recently here: https://github.com/perkeep/perkeep/issues/1307 https://github.com/perkeep/perkeep/issues/1307 Perkeep was also a couple of times on HN before, e.g.: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18008240 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18008240 This is an interesting overview/comparison to maybe understand a bit better about the goals: https://perkeep.org/doc/compare https://perkeep.org/doc/compare And this: https://github.com/perkeep/perkeep/blob/master/doc/overview.txt https://github.com/perkeep/perkeep/blob/master/doc/overview....
