Whoever you choose today to store and keep all your photos is probably not who you're going to be using in 10 years. I'm surprised that HN doesn't really zero in on this. Closed systems are just a temporary solution for a problem that's getting exponentially worse.
Some of us are just less vocal than others, especially when we tend to get shouted down by those who can't be bothered to run their own web servers and then resign themselves to let others control their data. FreedomBox is making things better in this respect, though, and I can't help but think that they would love to hear about Trovebox (hint, hint).
I would just like to thank you very much for OpenPhoto/Trovebox. Even though this is the first I've heard of it, it seems to be something I could really use. I'm currently generating static web albums with gPhoto, then uploading them by hand, but had been thinking about automating the whole shebang for a while. There are plenty of open source photo albums (even packaged for Debian stable, my distro of choice), but so far I hadn't found any that offer mobile clients to automate things. While I'm not on Android, the wife is, and this looks like an awesome way to let her share photos, while still keeping them under her control. I'm also very glad to see that Trovebox is open source, and will be mirror cloning the repos soon :)
