What other business work like that?

Just use Kagi. I have been for several years now. I have not regretted it one minute. I have not missed Google at all. Kagi is just so much better. And I like the business model.

Poorly made analytics/datawarehouse stuff.
hosteur··on Hetzner increases prices due to RAM shortages
Seems to be a bit of a cash grab since they are also increasing prices on old used hardware in the server auction with e.g. DDR3 RAM which should not increase in price due to DDR5 price hike.

I cannot read the table on mobile.

hosteur··on Mozilla appoints new CEO Anthony Enzor-Demeo
Well, I do not believe $260 million went to Firefox development. I would be surprised if the majority of that went to other non-Firefox projects like:

Various AI initiatives (Mozilla.ai, Orbit, etc.)

Mozilla VPN

Mozilla Monitor

Pocket

Firefox Relay

Fakespot

Mozilla Social

Mozilla Hubs

... just to name a few.

hosteur··on Self-hosting my photos with Immich
I am pretty sure they already offer that service for a price.
hosteur··on Self-hosting my photos with Immich
Huh? What are you maintaining? The PostgreSQL db and extensions are provided in the container image. You do not have to use your own external PostgreSQL.

Of course, you may have reasons to do that. But then you also own the maintenance.

I have never had to maintain any PG extensions. Whatever they put in the image, I just run. And so far it has just worked. Upgrades are frequent and nothing has broken on upgrade - yet at least

hosteur··on Self-hosting my photos with Immich
What? It is literally just start the container and forget. When upgrading it is change the version tag and restart the container.

Upgrades are frequent but no hassle.

I have been running this for half a year. It might have been more work earlier?

My household is using this for our shared photos repository and everyone can use it. Even the kids.

There is both direct web access and an iPhone app.
