In the end nothing really matters, the universe will suffer a heat death and we’re just here for a extremely short ride.

I’m using Synology, it’s good enough but I don’t like that the software is not Free Software. In the long run I will probably need to build something from scratch manually.

But if you’re using Synology Photos then I wrote some scripts for it https://github.com/jeena/synology-pictures one which randomly finds pictures of family members and puts them into a place where another script (Home Assistant) then shows them on the TV if nobody is watching anything.

And another one which does this “Today, X years ago” also for family members and pushes it into our Matrix family chat.

Yes that’s really bad that they don’t offer it in all countries. I’m in luck that I lived in those countries they do offer it. But even that, once I moved to Korea, they don’t allow YT Premium Family here. I guess it’s some Korean Law thing, they have very extreme laws when it comes to IT here, Google Maps doesn’t work, etc. Anyway until now they didn’t mind that I used My dad’s computer in Germany to circumvent it. But yeah, one day they will come after me, I’m sure.

Perhaps I should add that I hate ads with a passion and that I’m really thankful to YouTube that they offer opt out of ads.

Unpopular opinion: I like paying for YouTube Premium to get rid of ads and still make it possible for creators and YouTube to get paid and survive an keep offering me entertainment.

In addition you also get YouTube Music so no need to pay for Spotify. It might not have as good features but I listen to music specifically so I only search for what I want to listen to and don’t want any algorithms anyway.
