Photos alternative with good recognition / search? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Slowly but surely trying to de google my life, but Google Photos is a hard one. I have a kid and seven pets, and I've come to rely on Google Photo's search abilities to actually find anything I want to see in the hot mess of disorganized photos.

I tried a trial of Ente and filled it up to the free limit with pics. It was able to recognize my toddler in THREE photos, no one else. I don't know how many or which photos are backed up because it doesn't seem to show them separate from my un-backed up ones. It doesn't learn to recognize pets as far as I can tell.

I'm too tired to learn to self host just to use Immich, even though I've heard good things, ha.

Link looks awesome, thanks! Do you also keep a separate cloud backup of your photos in case your server is damaged (like in a disaster or something)?

I should do that, but i dont do it at the Moment.

Maybe in the future. It should be pretty simple by running my attached drives as a RAID 1-Cluster or something.

They're running on NAS 24/7 online-Drives. At the Moment I'm pretty confident that I am safe.
