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:

Photo of me, a white man with a short dark beard, and dark hair, smiling at the camera, while sitting in front of a vintage terminal with green text on the screen.

'Self-host it' is not the answer

I’m going out on a limb a bit here. I love self-hosting my own systems.
