**Obsidian Publish** only provide a very small storage (4gb), thus it is prohibitive to store large media files on the hosting server for my personal blogs. In order to ensure that precious 4GB isn't used up too quickly, I recently resubscribed to [[Flickr]] as a way to host my personal photos. It has been many many years since I last used Flickr (Pro), and have seen the "file will be delete warning due to number of photos over the limit" for many years, but decided to ignore. Whilst I still have my Fuji XT2, it is very difficult to find the time to take pictures and enjoy photography. Getting back to why I use Flickr in my writing workflow: whenever I need a publicly accessible photo URL, I upload the image to Flickr; for everything else, I host it on GitHub via the Obsidian Image Upload Toolkit plugin - [Obsidian image upload toolkit](https://github.com/addozhang/obsidian-image-upload-toolkit). I’m not entirely sure what practical advantages the Flickr + GitHub combo offers over a free service like Imgur for hosting public image URLs, but serving images from my own GitHub account feels far more personal. In contrast, Imgur’s drop-in, throwaway model seems at odds with a curated, long-term archive.
