A global FOSS day would be awesome. In addition to giving gifts to the authors and maintainers (and maybe Paterson and others would agree to no fees for one-time donations on that day or something), think of all the other new holiday traditions we could start…

• cookies in the shape of Linus or RMS
• decorations made from “that box” we all have of extra parts and cables
• rhyming flame wars on every listserv
• riveting games of (token) ring-around-the-rosie

What else?

Maybe it’s time for a FOSS general strike.

Keyword blocking keeps me on voyager on desktop. Unless I’m making a new post (which I don’t like the voyager interface for) and then it’s back to the web UI

I’d be into it. But I wouldn’t be devastated if it didn’t happen.

Could even be his twin - that joke is from 2007, if little Bobby was in kindergarten then he’d be around 22 by now and could be trying to land his first job out of college!

Correct but there are really only 2 parts (3 if you’re adding a front-facing proxy which it sounds like you know how to do). If you’re using something like truenas or proxmox there are prebuilt containers for both iCloudpd and immich/photoprosm/whatever and even if not both have generic Docker containers or can be run out of their own repo checkout. So you just need:

1. iCloud <—> local folder via icloudpd
2. local folder <—> local web front end with immich
3. local web <—> public web with your proxy or cloudflare setup

Good luck!

Right, this is for the “hard” part of getting your content out of iCloud in an automated fashion. You’d then put the content in storage locally and use photoprism or immich or a similar self hosted gallery to be able to access them

icloudpd can be run in a container or just your host machine. It’s a little finnicky to get logins set up (and honestly I haven’t done it in a few months), but once that is working you can automate a job to pull down a backup every day/week/month and delete files from icloud.
