The object storage (S3-compatible) platform MinIO created a bit of a stir this week with a PR that removes a ton of functionality from the interface of its community edition. When questioned, users were directed to the enterprise version of the platform. In unsurprising open-source fashion, a fork has already been created by the community while others have started migrating to existing alternatives like Garage. The event polling app (and personal favorite of mine) Rallly also made the rounds with its v4.0.0 update and a new licensing model for multi-user deployments after publicly seeking feedback a few weeks ago. Moves like this can understandably be frustrating – and they continue to highlight the dichotomy between the financial unsustainability of open-source platforms and – in MinIO's case – the ethicality of restricting platforms that have benefitted so much from community contributions. I've spoken about this a fair amount in the past, so I'll stay off the soapbox this week. On an unrelated note, Plex also made the news cycle (yet again) for a mysterious consent pop-up that appeared to users while browsing their media libraries. If you haven't already, check out the article below and make sure your privacy preferences are up-to-date: And lastly – after six years and 150 episodes of crypto self-hosted content – the Self-Hosted podcast published its final episode this morning. Cheekiness aside, Chris and Alex have become a bi-weekly staple of my Friday mornings, and I'm especially grateful to Alex for his instrumental early support of this publication. I wish them both the best of luck in their future endeavors. Happy selfh.st/ing! In the News
