if Azerbaijan invades actual Armenia proper, then that’s a different story.

The possibility of that happening is literally the linked article.

Nagorno-Karabakh is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan. Always has been.

Internationally recognized, fine. The population was about 120,000. 100,000 fled to Armenia after the attack. I’m sure they care about international lines on a map.

Always has been is categorically false. Armenia has been a country for about a thousand years before the ones who drew the lines on your map.

The “Christians being persecuted” crowd only care about Target selling shirts with rainbows.

They were actually the first Christian nation in 301 AD/CE. Not that state religion is great, but it’s an interesting history given they were sandwiched between the Romans and the Parthians at the time and were pretty much a football between the Romans and whoever was nextdoor throughout the entirety of the Roman empire. If they aligned with “nextdoor” the Romans often ignored them as long as they didn’t allow armies from nextdoor through. And when the Romans had their own puppet king over there, well, bully for them.

Not much has changed. Now they’re sandwiched between Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iran, and Georgia, with Georgia being a Russian conduit at least militarily if not politically. And Turkey and Azerbaijan are effectively one and the same with Azerbaijian having a dash of Russian influence. That’s not a great place to be if you’re a tiny country served as an appetizer to the surrounding powers.

Anyway, welcome to my TED Talk.

What could of possibly made Turkey fall in line as heavily as it has.

F16s.

Which is yet another reason why the West will hang Armenia out to dry.

Turkey already endorsed a corridor between the two countries through the south of Armenia, immediately after the attack on Artsakh, literally 4 days, while 100,000 Armenians were fleeing.

Why would Armenia open this corridor voluntarily? Azerbaijan already pinky swore Artsakh wouldn’t be attacked. Erdogan knows how this will be solved, and it won’t be pen and paper.

They also have many of the pipelines that send oil/gas from that region to Europe. Hence the hand wringing and platitudes from the West rather than actual help. Aliyev knows this.

And when Armenia had the gall to even hint at trying to break from under Russia’s thumb to the West, Aliyev got the ok from Russia to teach them a lesson.

Azerbaijian took Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh 8 days later, in spite of a prior Russian security agreement to prevent exactly that.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but Armenians aren’t muslims, they’re majority Christian.

They were suspended by vote, then AFTER the vote results they said they had actually already quit. It was elementary school playground levels of “nuh uh” and within a year they tried to come back.

Blew up a blood donation center.

Currently just using Synology photos but with an eye on immich, as others have mentioned and plan to switch now that it has facial and object recognition. At this point it can do everything I want and has the benefit of being open source.

You have a Synology and Synology photos will do the features you mentioned (multiple users, different permissions). While I wouldn’t recommend it now over Immich I’m curious why you went with photoprism initially?

I was all about Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader, a collection of facts a lot of which probably aren’t true but it was entertaining.

But this was absolutely the backup option.
