While I doubt they'll kill Photos any time soon*, I can't recommend self hosting Immich enough**! It has completely "made photos fun again" for me.

Mail, calendar, maps, and Chromecast (mostly for non-Google services) are my main holdouts, and aside from EOL'ing my Chromecast, I think these products are fairly safe.

  • When I first started using it it was unlimited storage if you allow compression, so they've already kneecapped it a bit...

** Any self hosting community can help you out if you're interested! If you have old hardware sitting around it can be done basically for free. I'm using a free VPS with static IP, WireGuard tunnel to my home server, no DynDNS required. Hostnames are cheap, and Let's Encrypt is awesome and free.
