Comment on Hetzner (European hosting provider) to increase prices by up to 40%

  Ah, but your hardware is most definitely not free. and even if bought used, and your power is literally completely free, it will likely fail or be too obsolete before any actual savings occur.

  I’m not saying don’t self host, just don’t think you’ll save any money doing it.

    I have always done self hosting. You don’t need to most new hardware. And if you enjoy it oo it is a win win. For me I host over 60 services my self. For me and family and some friends.

      I’m definitely not running newest HW, I’m running on 6y/o HW and refurbished HDDs bought 2 years ago. But even if my power was free (it isn’t), and nothing breaks (it will), I would need to run the server for ~10 years to make up for the subscriptions it let me drop.
