Have you ever wondered how to pronounce 'Immich', 'Dawarich', or 'Forgejo'? Me too. So I did some research and wrote a post about how to pronounce them -- and a handful of other #selfhosted software names that are commonly mispronounced.
Let me know if I missed any!

Happy third Sunday in Advent! 🕯️
For the last... 5 years (or so), I tried multiple different personal photo and video management services and have now landed at Immich.

I think it's really the best alternative I could find.

One more batch of striking photos of the temples Nanzenji (南禅寺) and Eikandō (永観堂) along the Eastern Mountain Range of Kyōto or the Path of Philosophy (哲学の道).
The first batch, including climbing up the huge gate of Nanzenji, is at https://hcommons.social/@SteveMcCarty/115706568145190275
It hasn't been reported in the Japanese language news, but I heard sirens and ducked into the back of Nanzenji to walk along a little-known path along the mountainside by the old canal that runs from Lake Biwa to provide fresh water to Kyōto. But the rescue trucks went to the exact same place, and I saw rescue crew looking into the canal, and men going up with at least one stretcher. I didn't stick around, though, and I left, past gawking East Asian tourists. What did they want to see? I just wanted a contemplative walk, but it was an odd coincidence.

Climbing up the steep stairs to the top of the huge gate of Nanzenji, there was this bilingual sign, always good advice ;-)

Historic Engineering Wonders: Photos That Reveal How They Pulled It Off

Good morning Fedi friends!
Sorry I've been a little quiet around here but I just completed a labor intensive personal project: selecting the best of the year's photos, color-correcting them, laying them out, and ordering photo albums (my traditional Christmas present to family).
I typically have between 600 and 900 photos per month (1000+ in the summer), in between my smartphone and 3 professional cameras. It's a HUGE undertaking each year.
Nobody in my family prints out photos anymore, I feel like it's my responsibility to be the curator of family memories.
Parents and extended family members keep their photos on smartphones only, some locked inside messaging apps and not even downloaded to their photo albums.
Meanwhile, I spend two weeks a year curating photos and creating albums.
I love going through them with my little one and with family and friends.
The number one reason why I love photography so much is that a photo can freeze a moment in time and make it everlasting. Flipping through the pages of my photo albums is like going back in time... which is really bittersweet but also magical.
Maybe one day I'll write about my photo organization system... how to free oneself from the clutches of Big Tech platforms and reclaim power over photos and videos. (I say this because I have several friends and family members who won't quit Big Tech apps because they hold their photos).
YunoHost writeup first. And then maybe photo / video management tutorial in January.
Wishing you all a great day!
Question: When I edit a photo on the iPhone, the image is displayed *much* brighter (and prettier) than when I exit editing mode — even when no actual edits are made to the image.
From searching around, this appears to be a “feature” related to HDR, but I still don’t understand the intent. All it does is make me feel bad about my photos once I leave exit mode, because I have just seen what could have been! 😔
Can any #photo nerds point me to an explainer of this behavior?
