If you’re hosting stuff visible to the wider world and you don’t really know what you’re doing you might have a bad time. But also just going for it is how you learn.

I’m self hosting to learn. I’ve been hacked before and I lost stuff and then I refined my technique and started over again. Nothing I do is “mission critical”, so I now have the mindset that it will fail, I will lose data and time and I will get hacked. Honestly, it’s helped me to be better at home and at my workplace to have this mindset. Always plan for failure (and keep backups).
