> I think the increasingly widespread attitude that only open source software is good and trustworthy increasingly annoying and problematic.

Software being open source almost always makes it more trustworthy, and I'm glad that more people are picking up on this over time.

> I generally like people being able to out food on the table

Completely agreed, and this makes for a frustrating paradox.

I don't use Obsidian because it's closed source, but I don't think it's evil or anything. Conversely, I pay for Immich, and I hope their model is sustainable.

In theory, in practice it is obvious that too many eyes to the source keep missing CVEs.

Closed source also keeps missing CVEs, only most of them you never know because they aren't even making it to an officially released CVE. You usually don't even know what libs it uses and at what versions, never mind the proprietary code.

And then there's the closed source's Cloud part and its holes as well, which is a whole other can of worms.

I haven't said otherwise, other than the fallacy that being open by itself fixes those issues.

for me it's about running it locally/inside a wireguard network, and not having the rug pulled. not everything needs to be exposed to the internet.
