This is awesome!!
I'm in Canada, but support as many EU brands as I can. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to replace Garmin products down the road, and this website listed SIGMA as an alternative - made in Germany bike computers (and more)! I can't wait to explore this list further!
It's crazy how much space 17 cars need!
Oof. Correcting that now! 😵
Fair enough. I still don't think that being open about their self-hosted option would hurt them.
You implied that it would hurt business, and that really doesn't seem to be the case for other projects using a self-hosted/subscription business model.
If you meant something else, then I guess I misunderstood. No harm, no foul.
Jesus Christ, I was reading it as "Führerwear" 🫢 But "Feuer" means "fire" in German, so it's totally appropriate!
I'm loving the repurposing of fire hoses.
Has that killed Bitwarden yet? There are many self-hosted projects that also have paid options.
I'd be happy with a paid (one-time fee) license for a self-hosted option with any software. Subscriptions should only be paying for data/storage, and if that's offloaded to the customer's local hardware, there's no need to keep them on a subscription.
Especially for a product that's privacy-first, that really should include a self-hosted option (paid or otherwise).
Looks like a voter map. They get what they voted for 🤭
We've started putting NO RIGHT ON RED signs at intersections, and motorists are still running over pedestrians!
You can't design away stupidity. The danger is people behind the wheel of these aerodynamic tanks.
I don't mean to talk negatively at all, and their product looks amazing (especially with the added context you've provided).
For me, based on my own experience and the huge amount of storage needed to keep my photos/videos safe, it's not cost-effective for me personally. If the choice was any of the other paid services or Ente, I think Ente would be the clear winner from the sound of it.
Like with all other online services, it's cheap until your collection grows. I basically outpaced Google Drive (at the time), and it would have been significantly more expensive to continue with their paid plans. So, I invested in hardware. LOL
But realistically, if you have a smaller photo/video collection, then I think it would be just as easy to spend $5-10 a month and forget about it. I was working with decades worth of images, so I would quickly outgrow any 1, 2, 3TB plans.
Marketing should always be OPT-IN by default, but these extra steps to opt out is truly asshole design.
Oh, and on the opt-out confirmation screen, you get two options: Yes or No. The button colour for "yes" is white, and the “no” button matches the “save” button on the previous screen, so it's easy to accidentally cancel the opt-out. Double-asshole design!
