The photos are still there. I don't have PRO and my 2772 images can still be seen, even by logged out visitors. I can't upload anything though.

I used memories for a while but Immich is much better. I use an external library because I export images from Lightroom Classic and that's where I throw them in YYYY/MM directories. I could import them directly into Immich but I had problems with the Lightroom plugin I used. Especially when exporting hundreds of images at once.

In Ireland on my otherwise very generous mobile phone account I'm charged for multimedia SMS texts. They're not included in my SMS bundle.

I just checked the newest release on csdb and it has a .s source file you can download. It is released under the GPL. :)

I haven't looked at it but I bet it's written in handwritten ASM. You can disassemble that. It probably won't be easy but with a memory map of the C64 and 1541 you could tell how it's working and learn from it.
