I self-host a lot of stuff. Nearly everything that I use. FOSS and self-hosting is a massive part of my computing experience.

I love reading about people enjoying / exploring self-hosting stuff.

I struggle when people advocate "just self-host it", without giving due consideration to the costs, risks, security considerations, and so on.

I know that I've posted this a few times now, but this discussion seems to pop up quite a lot. So:

'Self-host it' is not the answer

I'm going out on a limb a bit here.

@neil I'm in the same boat, and I always try to clarify that it is one of my hobbies, so like others love to spend money and time on, for example, skiing, I do the same for self hosting. And I don't expect of anyone that they should just do the same, ESPECIALLY if they lack technical knowledge or joy of debugging
