How do you manage your photos and videos? (monyet.cc)

I am trying to finally move from entirely depending on Google Photos to a proper backup strategy. I have my photos and videos downloaded from Google which are a mess right now but as long they're with me I am fine, at least for now.

So, what I have planned is 3 way backup with Mega Drive-Google Photos- Local storage. Local storage, I will start off with storing on a pendrive and my router has a usb port so will make use of it for time being.

I know my way of doing things is noobish for a piracy community (and in general too, I am kinda embarrassed as well sharing this "strategy" of mine). Hence I'm asking for suggestions to improve my strategy. Yeah, in the future I will move to HDDs and NAS but for time being I am starting out this way.

So how do you manage your personal media? Are there any noob-friendly tools/techniques you know which drastically improve my strategy?

Immich is a selfhosted photo management server with a user interface that's similar to google photos. Also has mobile apps.
Their motto is "privacy should not be a luxury".

I was planning for long to try it out because it looks very promising, but I was waiting for.. I don't know what? Fuck it I'm installing it today.

⚠️ Expect bugs and breaking changes.

⚠️ Do not use the app as the only way to store your photos and videos.

Well that's not very confidence-inducing…

To be fair though, those warnings are not really representative of the current user experience. I've had Immich running for about 6 months by now, and apart from the very frequent updates the only annoyance was when they recently changed their database scheme, and I had to manually add two extensions to my Postgres. Everything else has been rock solid, and has been improving at a massive pace
