I wish I believed that self-hosting things was easy.
I'd self-host my new site. Self-host a forgejo instance. Self-host the docs for my open source projects. Self-host email.
But in spite of what the fanboys say, self-hosting is neither particularly easy nor particularly cheap.
My wife sometimes suffers from the "my labor and expertise is free" delusion, but I do not.

@GeePawHill@mastodon.social I agree entirely that it’s not for everyone. For me personally (as an independent IT consultant), that « labour and expertise for free » gets filed under research since it’s been amazing how many times I have to fix/tweak/modify something I’m hosting and in the following 3-6 months I have a client who calls in a panic to fix exactly the same problem.
