I assume most users here have some sort of tech/IT/software background. However, I’ve seen some comments of people who might not have that background (no problem with that) and I wonder if you are self-hosting anything, how did you decide that you would like to self-host?
I’ve worked in auto repair and real estate. Have no professional experience.
Why self-host? Because its cool. And for privacy. And save a few bucks on subscriptions.
