Comment on how do you explain selfhosting to the non-techies in your life?

I’ve got 1TB pictures. I can either pay google a shitload of money and fear that they delte my stuff. Or I can self host immich for a fraction of the cost for electricity and a donation.

This. Why pay £6/m when, with self-hosting a Samba/NFS/NextCloud instance as part of 20 other services, I pay ~£6 a year. (Might increase drastically with Ollama or SearXNG and a GPU, but still a fraction of the corporate cost)
