I was kidding lol, I am aware
Comment on Hetzner (European hosting provider) to increase prices by up to 40%

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.
