Well that was one idea mentioned by one of the other posters: better security by having the server off the network.

I think my luddite tastes in software are part of it, but if I have a server on the network, it might as well be in a data center where I don’t have to worry about space, power, noise, ICE raids (my servers are in several countries so they’d at least have more work to do), etc. I can add or delete new hardware with a few clicks. I actually do have an old Supermicro 1U server in my kitchen but it’s just sitting there unpowered. I had intended to colo it but it’s just not worth doing that. I had forgotten about it.

Even if I have a server at home, I probably want to back it up over the network, so then what? There are remote copies of the files then either way.
