I like seeing people acknowledge the problems that come with self-hosting. I tried to self-host a few years back ended up lasting only a handful of months before going back to letting others host the services I use.

I didn't run into any specific issues, but instead I ended up realizing that I had to monitor the services myself to ensure that they were still functioning properly and that they had security patches applied. That's not a responsibility I want to deal with.

And as strange as it sounds, I also noticed that there actually were privacy advantages to not hosting stuff myself. Maintaining multiple identities when self-hosting is only possible with a domain per identity and not reusing the same machine for services across identities.
