...as planned by apple Can you do this without apple managing your data? (it would be really nice to have a personal icloud replacement)

  i use android and google photos because it's really cool to auto match faces of my friends and family. but think about it, how crazy that someone can steal your phone and you would be totally fucked, priceless memories lost forever. now with cloud that's a non-issue no?

    It doesn't have to be one or the other. Apple/Google can permanently lock you out of your iCloud account at any instant. You can only be sure of access to your data if it is physically on you.

      And if you encounter pickpockets or get mugged, you won't have access to that data either. And don't forget to worry about natural disasters taking out your home.

        Which is exactly why you should have a local copy and a cloud backup.

  You can self host Immich for a photos replacement, including some of the neat machine learning tricks.
