  • Very happy Ente user here! It’s a great alternative to Google Photos and Immich (since I think photos are too important to self-host).

    They have an easy guide for migrating from Google Photos (basically they can import a Takeout export directly).

    https://ente.io/faq/migration/from-google-photos/

    I’ve got it installed on my phone with automatic backups enabled. It had no issues with duplicates from both Takeout and the existing photos on my phone. (I even did the upload twice due to running out of space the first time, and there were no dupes). The app has a pretty similar design to Google Photos, so it feels familiar. It also supports Google’s version of “live photos”.

    You can create links to share albums or individual photos, and you can also add people to your plan.

    I enabled the local machine learning analysis and, while it’s not perfect, it does make for a pretty nice searching experience.






  • Hey I just wanted to say, thank you for sending me down the rabbit hole of both of these texts. Fascinating!

    Regarding the Voynich Manuscript, and to be fair to the person you’re responding to, with no current decipherment, there is a good possibility it’s a hoax.

    Churchill acknowledges the possibility that the manuscript is either a synthetic forgotten language (as advanced by Friedman), or else a forgery, as the preeminent theory. However, he concludes that, if the manuscript is a genuine creation, mental illness or delusion seems to have affected the author.

    Also the Codex Seraphinianus is much newer and self-admittedly describes an imaginary world in an imaginary language.

    Anyway, thanks again for the Wikipedia adventure. :D

    • The transition from the private cryptocurrency OXEN to the public ERC-20 token SENT is criticized for favoring the project’s creators over loyal community members, leading to potential financial losses for many.
    • The author condemns the management of Session for their incompetence and dishonesty, predicting the project’s inevitable failure due to a lack of trust and proper execution.
