I am not letting Apple Photos touch my photos. Neither Google Photos, etc.

All my photos are managed using Digikam and developed using Darktable. They are also visualized via immich, but immich only has access via a read-only mountpoint.

Everything is hosted locally of course.

I am moving this direction, but for now as a redundancy purpose. Copied google take out into immich, who has its mountpoint use truenas iscsi backed by zfs. Zfs is set to take snapshots frequently.

Just a warning, I don't think that ZFS snapshots are sufficient for ZFS bitrot protection.

Ensuring ZFS has at least 2 copies on physically separate disks and using scrub frequently is the way, right?

Please correct me if I am wrong HN!

Right, zfs snapshots are for the case myself, or any of the software i use (e.g. immich) messes up something.
