Self hosting is a learning curve. We are not sysadmin. We learn from others and best of all, from our own mistakes in order not to repeat them again.

There is nothing wrong in hosting your own services if you know what you're doing.

If not, loads of the open source web apps offer a hosted service in which the sysadmin you are referring to do the job for you for a fee.

I really don't understand the point of this rant, with all the due respect.

@Guillotine_Jones

Depends on what you are self-hosting and how. if you only have 1 pc to work with, and you self-host lets say a mastodon instance, that should be kept on all the time, as otherwise it would not be connected with the Fediverse, hence missing updates. if you self-host Joplin, a notes taking web app, you could turn it off as it will be only you using it. So, public available instances = always on. Private web apps (notes, photos, music) up to you. Hope this helps 🤝
