    Nah, I host it on a web hotel.

    I am using a very generic ISP and they tend to have a dim view of running servers on their network.

    I did have an RPi running SSH and a Mumble server directly connected to the internet years ago, but after a few years I realized that I was bringing needless attention to my network when I found my server on Shodan.

    So I took it down…

    Yeah, that is my take as well, at first I thought it was completely useless just like the old Facebook posts with users posting a legaliese sounding text on their profile trying to reclaim rights that they signed away when joining facebook, but here it is possible that they are running their own instance so there is no unified EULA, which gives the license thing a bit more credibillity.

    But as you say, bots will just ignore the links, and no single person would stand a chance against big AI with their legal teams, and even if they won the AI would still have been trained on their data, and they would get a pittance at most.

    My need for online photo galleries is just to direct friends and family to see them, I don’t store photos in the cloud.

    I used to put up my photos on deviantart, I have had a gallery there for almost two decades, but lately dA has become very slow to navigate, so I built my own site, I didn’t need much, an index page linking to HTML galleries I export from digiKam.

    After a few weeks of learning, designing and testing HTML and CSS, I have a nice index page that is responsive and easy to update and customize (in limited capacity).

    This runs on a normal webhost, and is lightning quick to navigate, the galleries support browsing with the arrow keys, and just works.

    There are three annoying things about it though…

    1. To update a gallery, I need to recreate it in digiKam and upload it manually to the host.

    2. I can’t include notes with the photos.

    3. I have to edit a link in every gallery to make it be able to go back to the index page and not 404…

    Google needs Firefox, it is the only web browser with a different rendering enginge than webkit/blink that has any kind of traction, they need the status quo to remain so they have a competitior and can try and disprove any claims of them having a monopoly.

    They need Mozilla to be weak and dependant on them, but still be a reasonable alternative in theory, as long as it works as an argument in court, they are fine with it.

    Music Player Daemon - mpd - is a small Linux utillity that does most of this.

    It is a small music player runs as a service on a linux machine (RPi worked for me when testing) which can be controlled through a remote control app or desktop program.

    It needs access to your music library, so look into sharing it, possibly through NFS, or set up a copy of your music library on local storage in the RPi.

    I am a bit concerned about how well it would work with a shared solution, I know that some systems might lock open files preventing other clients from using them, but that is nothing I have tested.
