I have symmetric gigabit fiber at home, a lot of experience managing tech and servers, and absolutely zero desire to host important things at my house.
For less than $10/month I can get a cloud server plenty powerful for anything I want to host with power and bandwidth that are orders of magnitude more reliable than what I can get at my home. Plus I don't have to worry about floods, fires, or theft causing me to lose all of my data and backups stored at home.
- whoisthemachine 5y agoAgreed, and to add to your comment, the cost of securely hosting makes it not worthwhile to host at home.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoIf fiber to the home was widespread, then the market for people who might buy a self hosted solutions would be big enough to be addressable? Also, it is not an either or scenario. You can still backup to a different location in someone else’s computers. Fiber to the home just gives people the option to not solely depend on others’ computers.
