A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, as long as you aren't using it for archival purposes. I would prefer not everything I post live forever.
While I'd agree for identifying pictures, image hosting that suddenly doesn't one day becomes a huge problem for a lot of old tutorial-based content. Look at any old car forum for examples.
I was thinking about this problem recently after I got an email from photobucket that I was over the new limit of photos. I think a more appropriate place to host tutorial content would be on GitHub.
For that kind of thing, I'd say host the images with the rest of the content.
