Yeah I think of it the other way round: I couldn’t get myself to organize them without combining it with a nice selfhosted tool. The goal is getting my stuff organized, the cost is doing work, which includes setting up a system. I can cheat on the cost a little by including a fun project in the cost part.

I do think there’s a hidden cost in selfhosting though and it’s maintenance. Fortunately, there’s selfhosted tools that help with that too :-)
