Title says it all. I'll go first:

I don't really have any on my computer (all I use that for is Vim, Firefox, and Git), but on my phone: Orbot (basically Tor as a VPN on your phone).

Ohhh, thanks for mentioning Aves Libre, been looking for a map-feature like that for a long time! UI ks kinda weird though and displaying of photos is really slow in my device. I also can't find a setting for the anonymous data collection they mention in the TOS. Do you happen to know where I can enable/disable that?

Check out OrganicMaps if you ever have problems with Osmand (which I also use and love).

I feel like either Newpipe or LibreTube can use the Invidious api but not sure ...

I was using F-stop previously for the map feature and the ability to add descriptions to the photos (I love having notes on the photos but hate being locked into a specific app like Google Photos).

Aves has a much nicer UI and can edit the geotag information, too. Glad I found this.

Oh nice, so it adds the comments into the photo's metatags?

[–] Undearius@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

F-Stop adds an XMP tag imbedded into the image file. I'm going to assume Aves does the same but I haven't used it much yet to know.

I would love to be able to find an image service (like PhotoPrism) I can run on my server that can read the tags that I like to use (Date/time, geo location, title/descriptions, and faces). I want that info in the image file itself so that I can easily switch to another service if needed.

I'm still trying to find a way to make back-up copies of the original and then tag/organize photos to be used with a self-hosted viewer, whatever it may be.
