Dishwasher: "E24"

Us: "wtf is E24?!"

Google: "dishwasher is not draining. The filter may need to be cleaned."

Us: "filter?? There's a filter?!"

Dishwasher: ...

wow I have never regretted clicking a "show sensitive content" button more 😬

@aaronpk They've gone with a Google photos-like layout. I like this although it's ironic as years ago when they first released a photos app, I argued they should take this direction, but they were enamored with the "everything must be square" "crop all the things!" approach.
The new app also has object / person recognition.

Looks like I'm a few versions out of date, so here we go!

@aaronpk #Nextcloud's new photo app is nice (the one in Nextcloud Hub 3). It is self hosted, but there's many places that will host Nextcloud for you, often for free with a limited space.

I do already run a NextCloud for a few things, I might have to update it and see how the new app is

I share vids and stuff with an Azure storage account and set a SAS key with an expiration. Then share the url.

I'm glad it works but that sounds like the most convoluted way to solve this 😅

@aaronpk If you do not want to create an account it means they are shared publicly, or you can password protect them. But if you want to add more to the mix, then this idea sounds like a nightmare for any server admin. Imagine bots adding lots of messedup photos to your server, constantly.

Thus you either need a file sharing without account solution, like send.trom.tf/ - you add the photos/files, you put a password if you want, you share. Or by far the best is Nextcloud. files.trom.tf/ - create a quick account and add your photos, then add more, then share as you wish. If you need more storage space let me know. We extend it for those who want. All is free of course.

Creating *an* account isn't a showstopper, I just don't want people to have to create an account on an existing ecosystem that they aren't already in.

yes i ran it from my laptop with ngrok and basic auth on apache

Nice. That's looking like it might be the simplest option. The design is nice

maybe not the best way but i had a good experience with waschinski/photo-stream on github (jekyll)

Looks nice. And then put it behind a password of some sort? Have you tried that before?

We use hightail for distributing audio/ video & artwork files - You could use that. You can send a group folder and have work spaces - You can also have password protected files/links.

Hm that looks nice but may be a bit more "pro" than what I'm looking for in this case

Honestly, probably a private group message on your app of choice. iCloud can share no-account-required photo sets via iCloud link, but you can’t add to the link over time and would have to reshare. Otherwise you could go old-school and self-host a photo page behind a password.

Going old school may end up being the best option to be honest

Do you need them to be able to add to the folder too?

Nope, but commenting would be nice but is definitely not a requirement

A shared link to a folder

It's interesting to think about the threat model difference between someone accidentally sharing the link vs someone sharing their account info to leak the data

That's interesting, it looks like basically a private Instagram account that you can share with specific people. Promising.

I've had a nextcloud server running on an old laptop for a while. It's limited by my slow home internet, but it had the functionality

I do already run NextCloud. Do you do it via a shared link? Or do you create accounts for people?

Hello internet friends!

What is the best way to share a set of photos with a select few people, while being able to add more photos over an extended period of time? Must not rely on creating an account like on iCloud.

I have my own thoughts but I am interested in other ideas!

To be clear, open source is nice but not a requirement. However I don't want to require that someone who has no current affiliation with a big name like Apple/Google/Amazon have to create an account on that service.

Important update! My Brompton does in fact fit in the overhead compartment!

For the record, this was an Alaska/Horizon Embraer ERJ 175

p.s. it was an excellent decision to bring the drone, even it it took up a proportionally large amount of space in my one bag

@aaronpk nice, is this it here? https://github.com/aaronpk/Flickr-Archivr

Yep that's the one! I've finished downloading @anomalily's account, and I'm still in the middle of downloading mine. So far so good! There are some improvements I'd like to make to the website it builds, but I'm pretty sure I'm happy with the raw archive it creates and can always rebuild the site from that archive later.

Well ResolveCon is a wrap! Now I'm biking from Ashland to the Medford airport! Gonna be a bit of a slow ride to stop and take some drone photos and such.
