What do you need quick? I have a Minecraft server, a wiki for random stuff, a shopping list, a calendar sync, photo hosting, a media server and probably some other shit on there.

I can think of many situations where I’d want those quickly, but need I don’t anything.

Assuming the uptime of your services are in any way important.

I’m not running a business here, I’ve got no big stakeholders. If something doesn’t work, at most me or someone close to me is affected. No one really cares if something is not available for a day.

I spent 0 minutes on monitoring and don’t intend to start now :D

Perfect explanation. This kind of thing shows why tech giants are giants and why selfhosted is a niche. People like paying for convenience.

You really don’t get having to pay for things, do you?
