If you're trying to frame the problem in your mind like that, I suggest doing an HN search like https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=self-host&sort=byPopularity&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... to give you a good idea why people self-host. There's lots of prior art.
- haswell 5y agoAs a person who self hosts quite a few things, I'm intimately familiar with why people self host. That was not my point. The point is that there exist people who do not understand why self hosting can be valuable, nor should we assume that they will come to HN, do a "self-host" query, and then comb through the myriad of results to back into why this is an interesting topic. You were criticizing the blog post...essentially for existing in its current form...and I pointed out that there are legitimate reasons for such posts to exist. The post was probably not meant for you or I.
