The Cloud is Over-engineered, Over-priced (and Over-rated?) - eviltoast

Interesting discussion and demonstration of self hosting the kinds of apps most personal projects will end being.

    Personally I self-host on a raspberry pi. It took me a few weeks to setup, but it has been running without problems for almost 2 years now at practically no cost (beyond purchase and electricity).
