Too bad... I also really liked it and used. Seems like I go for wallabag again. Maybe it will be possible to selfhost omnivore at some point in time ?!

This. The point is, once you are old enough and have heared enough success-stories of extroverts going full "Grand Bazaar"-Style... you are just frustrated if you know that you are going to loose against all these dark-patterns.

I´ll gladly throw my money on anyone who is going to take these dealerships out of the algorithm. I know that just someone else will get rich... but hey, Tesla might at least use this money e.g. for product-development etc..

I love the Jupyter-/Colab-approach and would like to join the journey... and support the project by buying the book (although I don´t need it to follow the Colab?). But without subscribing to the OReilly-learning platform it seems that buying it on amazon is the only option, right ?
