Too many app subscriptions? A family counts the pile https://video.elfhosted.com/videos/watch/80ef05f1-caba-4161-ad43-93e4b0003a89 Too many app subscriptions? One family counts theirs: photo storage, a password manager, notes, budgeting and a game server. Part one of the Household Tech Saga. Robin and Maya sit down with the bank statement and count the app subscriptions: family photo storage, a password manager for family logins, a notes app, a budgeting app and the kids' game server. Each one is fine on its own. Together, it's subscription fatigue. The bigger question is whose terms they're on. The family's photos and passwords live under someone else's rules and plans, so Robin starts wondering about running your own server at home: the hobby people search for as self-hosting. Next episode, he builds one. The Household Tech Saga is a short animated series from ElfHosted about one family's tech: subscription soup, a server at home, the upkeep, and finding the elves. Each episode stands on its own; watch them in order in the playlist on our channel.
