    The self host craze is stupid,

    you need storage?self host the server You need vpn? Self host You need mail?self host You need phone?make it yourself

    There is no limit to this madness,and self hosting isn’t secure as people make it out to be,its always 1 minute away from getting hacked.

      In the most pessimistic scenario it’s the only future (hope ) people have if they want to stay being people. The most pessimistic future of the commercial internet is every piece of information locked behind your personalized chat bot, every content tailored to you only and generated by machine. Just hook up to the matrix, they’re waiting for you.

      The rise of self-hosted option comes from the distrust of the Big Tech and the desire to avoid a single point of failure.

      Sure, commercial solutions are better hardened, but they are also more likely to be attacked in the first place. And nothing is there to protect you from the prying eyes of those who host it for you, which is a valid threat as well.

      Still, one thing better, privacy-wise, than having your own server is to not rely on any servers to begin with.
