This is the best evidence, that Google is going too far.

I got email, that my 200 GB Google One plan is being phased out (with wife we have shared sub for Google Photos), and I have to choose between 100 GB (too small) or 2 TB (too expensive).

Wife, who not even 2 weeks ago asked me how to open file browser on her MacBook, asked me if I can make "some server thingy", to have our photos locally, and not in Google Photos.

So here I am, configuring Immich locally!

#selfhosting #server #linux

@leniwcowaty Funny, they are just telling I'm running out of space, but not that 200GB option being phased out.
And someone thinks that I'm willing to pay more for the middle option 🤭
Basically all "upgrade" options include gemini 🤮

@krahabors They just informed me that in August I will be moved to 100 GB plan, and I have no option to stay on my 200 GB plan, only 200 GB AI or 2 TB

@leniwcowaty Nothing like that here. Even checked trash folder to be sure :)

@krahabors either way - I'd rather spend like 1300 PLN now and have a beefy homelab server with Immich and robust backup strategy, than pay even 300 PLN yearly for the rest of my life, and hope they don't change their mind or increase the price

@leniwcowaty Basically it's the same scenario how Dropbox got rid of me as a client.
