I heard that recently reddit decided to shoot themselves in the foot, people needing to pay at minimum $10 000 a month or something like that for bots to do the scrapping or something like that. It is a big Fuck you to mods of the groups and small creators looking for news. Capitalism is a horrible thing, they are not making enough money from advertisments hopefully because people where leaving to Lemmy, I do not know but a girl can dream.

I am curious as to how much the Mods are being paid to offer this stuff, what self respecting selfhoster would want a licenses to anything? Especially those three things, there are FOSS alternatives to all three.

Why would you use paid for Adguard; it is good for some devices and even at that it is not good for the whole device, you can use Adguard Home or my choice Pi-Hole where you are doing a whole LAN ad blocker. You can even set up a VPN or two and use the pihole away from your LAN.

I was unaware of what PhotoPrism was so I went and looked, and thought ok it is like immich but you pay for it?

Why would any self respecting homelabber pay for Emby, all they are doing is trying to get money out of you when Jellyfin is right there mocking the other paid for home lab video streamers like Plex and Emby when their prices go up.

Sucks that it requires a Reddit account which I’ve long since abandoned along with most other social media after most embraced harmful policies and hate speech in addition to the profit-seeking through tracking. But I suppose that’s how corporate blobs support eachother.

Cool, but I don’t post on Reddit anymore.

Just wondered who would still be on Reddit while self hosting and behold it’s corpo… Good luck to anyone who wants to participate though
