I got started self-hosting last week when I got ahold of a smal Lenovo ThinkCentre. I installed Proxmox on it and if I want to self-host something I just spin up a container or virtual machine on the Proxmox system. It’s so much easier than installing self-hosted projects on bare metal. And if you want to change things around then just disable or delete the container/vm and let Proxmox stay clean. If one container breaks the rest of the system will still function.
I could easily host Lemmy from home with Proxmox and a reverse proxy with my current setup. I am not going to because I am not interested in moderating a platform and all the responsibility that comes with it, but it’s very possible to do.

It really doesn’t, and certainly not more than running something on AWS.
In fact, hosting on cloud infrastructure adds layer of complexity.
I stand by my original assertion.

You’re just wrong…
