I must announce the immediate end of service of SSLPing
I&#x27;m waiting for my services to die in a similar way. I too will shutter it when it does. 250k monthly users, but all the time and a lot of the costs are borne by me and where I&#x27;m at now I don&#x27;t have the time (the money I could afford, but it&#x27;s the time that is more valuable).<p>I&#x27;m glad to see this, I&#x27;m glad to see someone else also conclude that they don&#x27;t have to take an onerous responsibility for something created lightly and that gained traction.<p>This is what OSS needs too. If the project gets too much, just give it up. Even if others depends on what you&#x27;ve done, you&#x27;re not compelled to do anything if you&#x27;re not in a contract and no one is directly paying for your time. Not a donation, but payment to reserve time.<p>Time is the thing. It ticks by, and technical debt and bit rot eventually make it cost too much.
