They have 131k reviews. If a fraction of GrapheneOS users gave them a 1-star review it would tank their score... And note that one does not need GrapheneOS to go add a review (just install the app, review, uninstall). If a fraction of the p

They maintain their own fork and they say that they contribute stuff upstream (not sure how much, though). Last time I checked (a couple years ago), it seemed that I could use OpenWRT but I would lose some functionality (was it the FTT mayb

> do these damn projects even Do you have the slightest idea what OpenStreetMap is and how it works? It sounds like you have absolutely no clue, and it still doesn't prevent you from using that kind of language.

Do they want to get into tech because it sounds like it will make a lot of money, or do they want to learn how to code? If they want to learn how to code... honestly there is infinite resource on the Internet: books, videos, tutorials, game

That's interesting. So that makes it more efficient for offline maps? How much more efficient? I'm curious now!

Again, I don't think you understand how it works in detail, and you just assume from a high level that "it all looks the same, therefore it must be simple to make it all work together". Some apps show raster tiles. Which mean

I didn't say "founders", I said "community". The community is more than just the founders. If anything, the part of the community that left did it because of their disagreeing with the founders.

Offline-first used to be the norm before everything started requiring an internet connection for some reason. I was using OSM data offline 15 years ago on smartphones. The reason it moved to the internet was not that it wasn't possible

At that time I think I was using CityMaps2Go. Not sure if it still exists though.

In terms of forks, I believe it was Maps.Me -> Organic Maps -> CoMaps. So all forks of the same project. Maps.Me is not open source anymore (I think?), and CoMaps was started by a subset of the Organic Maps community that wasn't

I am curious: is it called "tileless" because it uses tiles, but offline? Or does it somehow not use tiles?

But that's different: if your bank is stupid (most banks are, let's be honest), it's not the fault of Android. Sure, remote attestation allows your bank to do it, but at the end of the day, it's your bank that pulls the

> I guess the fallback there would be to split the service up I feel like it may be different enough that it's just not worth doing for Immich. To me, if you want the convenience of Immich in a trusted server, then Immich is great.

by palata 4mo ago
I think you are slightly confused about E2EE, let me try to address a few points: - The whole point of end-to-end encryption is that nobody in the middle (e.g. the server) can possibly have access to the encrypted data. If they can (e.g.

How does the mobile app sync work with Immich? My use-case is that I want to install the mobile app on the phone of my relatives (including iPhones), and it should keep syncing their pictures "forever" even though they never, ever

I do agree that this is a use-case. Now a use-case for E2EE is if you want to host it on a VPS, I would say. I wouldn't trust the VPS with the photos of my friends/family.

To me there are two good products: Immich and Ente. * Immich doesn't have end-to-end encryption, so I see it for self-hosting (i.e. on hardware I trust, typically at home). * Ente has end-to-end encryption, which means I can host it on
