I like self-hosting my stuff, owning my data, determining my privacy surface area, learning and keeping my admin skills up to date.

Some days, though....I'm just tired of being a sysadmin and want to just sit down and have all the little things done and not have to worry about cluster health and such. Some days I'm just tired of it all and want nothing to do with it.

It's just crazy corpo wants you to pay them to host stuff AND sell your data...

@Kancept

I think this would be way easier if I was willing to spend good money on new equipment.

@Nagaram yeah, that's always a kicker too. It's money for the corpos one way or another. And the neverending pile of spare parts and equipment "just in case".
