Everything in this video is ‘fixable’ : hold the damn tab while pouring water, install the bin liner properly, cellophane is not that difficult, etc.

But the thing that triggers me like nothing else is the semi-perforated ‘easy opening’ half-circle of that carton box. Those fail without fail and I am convinced it is constructed by satan himself, just to mess with your mind and propel your anger to new heights. Same as with those easy to tear strips, they never rip in one go and always fail at about 5% of the tear-action. May the gods of retribution take extra notice and effort to espouse their vindictive cruel ways upon these so called ‘designers’ who invent them. May the fleas of a thousand camels invade the crotch of the person. And may their arms be to short too scratch.

Defarge: We are so poor! We don’t even have a language! Just a stupid accent!

Peasant: She’s right. She’s right. We all sound like Maurice Chevalier. Honh, honh, honh!

Thanks, this could be a real contender in my search!

Nice, seems viable!
Does immich also take care of taking the pictures from iCloud and then remove them?

I was considering nextcloud but was not sure if it would fit my needs, hence I asked the people here as I have seen a lot of people talk about nextcloud so I wanted to see if their experiences fit my needs.

Is nextcloud taking the pictures from iCloud and then delete them or dou you need to instruct nextcloud to do this or do you need to do that part manually?

This is an interesting one. Seems this one has has the backend and frontend covered. Does ente take the photos from iCloud and then remove them to free up space on iCloud?

Does this chain need another service to make the photos ‘usable’ for all the family members? I am not seeking just a safe place to store photos I will delete from iCloud, these photos are (ideally) also still available to view on the phones of all family members.

Thanks for the suggestions! Like you said in another reply, there does seem to be other options that might be simpler. But still, good to know these tools you mention!

Thanks, I will take a look!
Am I right in thinking this will get you the photos but it is up to you to place them somewhere and put a service/app in front of that storage to make it usable? Usable as is; the family members can all access their own photos and view them as if it was on the Photos app from Apple?
