I’m a software engineer and I had to quit self-hosting due to simply not having the time nor the ability to research and keep up with security, products that were going away, new ones, etc. I have a job, run a farm, and do housework and other work. It’s just not in the cards for me.
I work in tech and I promise it’s not. I worked my way through support and engineering and then did development. I promise people aren’t as bad at tech as they appear to you. The only thing stopping people is laziness.
It’s not hard and there’s plenty of people, like myself, that are willing to help you. Let’s work together.
It may not be “hard”, yet it’s just not practically possible for most people.
It is practically possible. You just have to put in a small amount of effort. Anyone saying it’s too hard has given up without trying.
It’s not “too hard”, it just completely unreasonable to expect people in general to self host as a way to “fight against tech billionaires”.
I can assure you that most people would find the amount of effort required to learn, implement, and maintain self hosted services to be unpractical.
I work in IT. Trust me, it’s well beyond a lot of people.
