I saw this post today on Reddit and was curious to see if views are similar here as they are there.
- What are the best benefits of self-hosting?
- What do you wish you would have known as a beginner starting out?
- What resources do you know of to help a non-computer-scientist/engineer get started in self-hosting?
For your first point: Work experience, to save money, and just because it’s cool.
There are other benefits that I’ll mention depending on whether I think the person I’m talking to might value them or not, but these are my reasons.
