so i've been searching for a long time for an image tagging software, there are some tools out there, some are electron based so no thanks, then there's Hydrus which is actually very similar to what this does, but the GUI is horrible and the installation is way more complicated. I created a docker compose file and I was running Blombooru in a few minutes. So if anyone was looking for something like this to organize their system, please give it a try because it is really good!

What's an otaku? Sorry friend, can't that be defined in English words? I am more familiar than japanese jqrgob.

By your words, is it a gallery? A kind of public gallery?

    Just looked it up. Otaku (お宅) is essentially 宅, which means "house". It became an adjective which describes someone who seldomly leave the house, which relates to animation (anime). It probably means somewhere to host images or videos now.

    The etymology is a bit different from that. Otaku does mean "your house" (important distinction: it's always the second person's house, not your own), but it's also used figuratively as a formal way to refer to your family or just you. There was a culture, at least in the 70s and 80s, for enthusiasts in non-mainstream fields of interests, whether that be TV manga anime, science-fiction, wargaming etc., to talk to each other in a weirdly formal way, so they kept calling each other "otaku".

    You're uh... Way off. Good try though.

    Putting aside specific etymology, what it means in common parlance is basically "nerd" with a heavy implication of "really into anime and manga."

    Otaku is the Japanese direct equivalent of "nerd" in English.

    In English otaku is used to describe a nerd nerding over Asian stuff (anime, manga, games, whatever). Some gatekeep it for Japan-only stuff, while others use it for K-pop and K-drama as well.

    In Japanese it's the opposite - they use "nerd" to decribe people nerding over American stuff.

    Edit: both loaned versions are a bit more derogatory than their "native" version.
