What service one should NOT self host - eviltoast

Like the title says, I’m new to self hosting world. 😀 while I was researching, I found out that many people dissuaded me to self host email server. Just too complicated and hard to manage. What other services that you think we should just go use the currently available providers in the market and why? 🙂thank you

      I’m running Ollama, the LLAMA2 port for Mac. I hosted an LLM for a site that generated the next line of story, no issues.

      There’s no reason to hide from running an LLM at home if you can, people should, the source is out there for a reason.

        I’m not telling people to avoid running a LLM at home. I’m just saying that it wouldn’t be a generic purpose one close to what ChatGPT provides. The reason I would guess is primarily a lack of computational power.
