<p>Sounds like you need digikam. I have been a happy digikam user for more than a decade now. It works really well.<p>The automated AI face detection can be improved compared to immich. But I guess this whole area is developing rapidly these days so I expect it to get better soon.</p>

<p>The primary purpose of teeth is to chew food. Including moderately hard materials such as roots, etc.<p>I am not convinced that chewing on wood sticks for a few minutes will require dental work at all. Much less <i>extensive</i> dental work.<p>Why do you think it would require extensive dental work?</p>

<p>For non-German speaking, here is a summary of TFA:<p>In June of the previous year, Russian hacker Oleg N. was arrested in Yerevan, Armenia, at the request of U.S. authorities who accused him of large-scale fraud. However, he managed to escape during a court session and disappeared. Later, leaked chats revealed that Oleg N., known online as "Tramp," was the leader of the notorious hacker group Black Basta. This group specializes in ransomware attacks, targeting over 500 companies and institutions worldwide between April 2022 and May 2023.<p>The leaked chats also showed the group's internal discussions during an attack on the U.S. hospital chain Ascension. Members expressed concerns about the ethical implications of their actions, especially regarding potential harm to patients. Despite these concerns, they decided to decrypt the affected servers but still demanded ransom for the stolen data.<p>Oleg N. was previously involved with another ransomware group, Conti, and used his experience to establish Black Basta. The group is considered a significant threat to cybersecurity, having extorted over 700 companies globally. Oleg N.'s escape and continued activities highlight the challenges in combating cybercrime.<p>Additional details from the chats reveal that Oleg N. claimed to have high-level connections that helped him escape. He mentioned having friends in the Russian intelligence services, FSB and GRU, who assisted in his release. This suggests that Russian intelligence agencies might have intervened to prevent his extradition to the U.S., protecting their interests and ensuring he wouldn't testify against them.</p>

<p>All Garmin Connect services are currently down.<p>This affects most (all?) Garmin fitness products such as the popular Fenix watches.<p>The Garmin Connect app seems to be completely useless without the Garmin Connect servers being up. It is not even possible to see local data on the phone.<p>I guess this also means that at some point in the future when Garmin discontinues the servers an enormous amount of watches becomes useless worldwide.</p>

<p>> privacy page will be up soon<p>Well it has been almost 24h now, and it is still not up.
I think it is concerning that you did not put up a simple "we immediately delete the images you upload and we do not store any data about you, nor do we track you using cookies or share data with third parties".<p>Since you do not have a privacy policy, I would expect that you do not do any of these things. So why not write this?</p>
