Yes okay it's not GPL or written in a fancy new language (PHP is still alive xD). But it's simple, elegant, no UX bloat, no ML or IA stuff... Just a plain simple self-hosted photo manager.
One thing I really liked about it, you can import you external photo's with .xmp files, just one checkbox away.
The tag feature is simple but working as expected. Nothing fancy but it does best what's it's supposed to do !!
Call me old boomer but I really like the simplicity of lychee. It's a bit like how reading an article from miniflux or wallabag... Simple html files without bloating your eyes or your brain...
I don't know about all the details but yeah I had a bad feeling with manjaro and a lot of people argued against it. Followed my guts and a happy EndeavourOS user :)
I do use a Mac and I hate it... It's a birthday gift from my family, because owning a Mac makes the "man"...
Uuhg, I always need to learn things twice... First how it works on Linux and than how to reproduce the same on Mac...
There are to many shitty workarounds that do not behave the same way Linux does even though it's UNIX based.
.plist files comes to mind
how to make a samba share mount on boot/access
Default's to zsh
Shitty default terminal and dumb keyboard shortcuts...
Default applications are useless... (Thanks homebrew 👏)
I fucking hate it... And after 4 years of intense use I still do not understand why people would willingly buy something like that closed crap ecosystem. Maybe just a hipster thing...
There are already alot of good comments so I will emphasize on something that hasn't been already said.
Nature is full of wonders, It won't be a one time miracle help, however you can always use some complementary assistance from a GOOD herbalist which will advise you specific herbs in a variety of forms (tea, essential oils, infusion....) to relax and maybe reduce some symptoms over time?
I heard sage tea is very feminine and good for everything related to menopause. I'm no expert so don't take it for granted.
While it won't solve or heal your partner's health directly, it could be a good complementary to any help session. Nice and warm infusion, bath with scented EO, massage with a room filled with EO diffusion.... There's a lot you can do with natures help :)
To expand on my previous comment I dug a bit deeper the rabbit hole with exiftool to showcase how powerful meta tags are over conventional tags. I was curious how It would work and find an "universal" embedded tag system that works nearly on any software.
First thing first,from my personal research there are 4 important types of metadata fields:
IPTC:keywords
XMP:subject
EXIF:XPkeywords (mostly for Windows)
MacOS:MDItemUserTags (macos tagging system)
It's also possible to copy one over to the other. The most important ones are IPTC and XMP which are read by most image manager. XPkeywords and MDItemUserTags are OS specific to windows and macos respectively.
After some reading and fiddling around I used the following commands:
What does that mean ? Does are embedded meta tags that works with every software capable of reading the IPTC or XMP metadata. Those tags will follow your pictures rather than being bound to a specific software database. So your tags are portable and embedded into you files which is in my opinion a better long term solution.
There's probably way more to it and something that could be further explored is to export your metadata as .xmp file, add those tags into the OS (XPKeywords, MDItemUserTags), bash script to manipulates even further....
Hope it helps to give you a sneak peak on what exiftool is capable. I'm a noob with this tool but it already shines and shows it's power and capabilities with some basic commands.
Here are some resources if you want to give it a try and follow my trails:
An other solution could be exiftool by Phil Harvey. Don't judge by how the website looks... It's probably the best and most complete tool to edit the metadata directly into your images (and way to much other formats xD).
Even though it's very well documented, exiftool is very complex and there's a lot to read and grasp before getting comfortable with it. There's always the forum if you have any question, but before asking the forum go through the FAQ (yes I know it's huge... But as starting point look at number 11) and search a similar question in the forum.
Here I found a topic that looks like what you're a looking for:
I dunno... Jellyfin does great as a Video media player/streaming platform. I prefer to not have everything in the same basket.
Also, this is better for Dev, so they only have to concentrate to one type of thing. I would rather suggest navidrome as a music server and Tempo as a music client for android !!
Tempo doesn't get updated so much (every few months) but he/she takes his time to make his player functional and very pleasing to the eyes.
On Android, I didn’t find any apps that let you filter blocklists and using your own VPN other than Rethink, but the blocklists feature requires using Rethink’s DNS.
You probably missed it but you can totally use rethink's block list without rethink's DNS (system DNS or Wireguard).
Thank you :)) ! I have the same question as @umbrella if your have any other insights to share !
