Minor spoilers… but it was fun seeing how a contemporary to Kern uplifted a different species, and more deliberately. Which adds to the universe rather than just have it be… Kern is God kind of thing. And seeing a species that was more emotion based was pretty great too. Different types of intelligences… not to mention the completely alien Nodan species.
Children of Ruin was my favourite. The slight horror tones of some of the story really got me! And also… 🐙
Both great series. Revelation Space was my intro into hard sci-fi. What a freaking ride that story is.
Children of Time and its sequels are top notch, especially if you love animals and commentary on societal roles. It’s in my top Sci-Fi.
If you enjoyed Children of Time, definitely check out “A Memory Called Empire” by Arkady Martine. It’s a Sci-Fi political mystery with lots of fun word play. Aside from some really cool tech, the book really tackles what it means to be “Other” and how colonialism effects one’s idea of self. Some really cool ideas in this book. Easily my top Sci-Fi read this year.
Really hoping it happens this time 🙏
Good. Now get rid of FPTP.
If you're technical at all, self host immich. or you and a few friends could get together and set up a pikapods for immich, it's relatively cheap and I've heard great things about pikapods. I know storing photos shouldn't require technical knowledge, but honestly unless someone you know and trust manages the service, it's hard to know who can abuse your data. I migrated from google photos to immich myself and the app ecosystem (migration tools, mobile apps, web app) are great and provide much of what google photos provided.
Ah. Are you using iCloud storage with Immich?
I was under the impression it functions similar to Immich. Figured, since you’re testing out Immich and PhotoPrism, maybe you’d test out Ente’s self hosted version too and compare 🫡
This is amazing 😱
