From photos to cloud storage and music or video streaming, we explore why many popular services are getting worse over time, what you're really trading for convenience, and what it takes to replace them with something you run yourself. This show is designed for beginners who are curious about self-hosting and building a simple homelab, without getting lost in technical details. Each episode focuses on one service, explains the real trade-offs, and helps you decide if it's worth making the switch.</description><language>en-us</language><itunes:author>Holger Lösken</itunes:author><itunes:type>episodic</itunes:type><itunes:image href="https://notlockedin.com/img/notlockedin_cover.jpg"/><itunes:category text="Technology"/><atom:link href="https://notlockedin.com/" rel="self" type="application/octet-stream"/><item><title>Something with photos</title><link>https://notlockedin.com/episodes/2026-05-10_photos/</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 May 2024 00:00:00 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://notlockedin.com/episodes/2026-05-10_photos/</guid><description>Spotify is convenient—but what does it cost you?
