Most cloud hosts are painfully expensive. If you don't value your own time at market value (as is typical and reasonable for hobby time; it isn't really exchangeable), then we're comparing an ongoing lease to just the hardware cost.
It doesn't take much usage for those lines to cross.
- ImJasonH 7y agoOh there's definitely a point at which you save money buying the hardware and running it yourself. But especially for hobby usage my experience is that's often further out than real usage. YMMV. I think I'd save money by renting a RPi for even $20/day, for instance. :)
